Madras Cafe

Delicious food! Great vegan options. The owner was super nice and helped us pick options that we would really enjoy. My only complaint is the plastic waste from the disposable plates, cutlery, and cups,

Came across this little South Indian restaurant while passing by with family and it was the best decision we took on our trip! We tried as many items as possible from the menu and it was by far the best South Indian food we have had in Wisconsin! The owners were very warm and welcoming! We hope to visit again sometime soon for more yummy food.

❗WoW❗ this is it, the fact that this restaurant exists is a blessing for the Fox Valley. I search for the perfect bite often, there are so many that are perfect for different reasons. This bite warmed up my soul on a cold night in February.

Exceptional South Indian culinary journey at Madras cafe. From perfectly crisp dosas to mouth-melting idlis, the authentic flavors transported me to the heart of South India. Impeccable service and a diverse menu make it a must-visit for anyone craving genuine South Indian cuisine.

Everything we tried here was fantastic. South Indian dishes that you don't typically find at other Indian restaurants in the area. The dosas were the highlight - so many varieties and all delicious. Owner is super friendly and happy to explain the menu and offer recommendations. Plenty of vegan options.

Hotspot for authentic Indian vegetarian food,I tried South Indian Thali and Mini idly with sambar it’s too delicious 😋

Did not expect an authentic South Indian restaurant here but was delighted and enjoyed my meal here. Friendly service and the place is super clean. 👌

Amazing little family owned restaurant. Some of the best/most authentic Indian food I’ve had in the area. The South Indian Thali plate was delicious and so was the coffee. Don’t be intimidated by the all-vegetarian menu; the food is proof that vegetarian food can be equally if not more delicious than meat.

Delicious and fresh. I found it easy to order with the pictures and explanations. Spicy chutney and homemade yogurt for dipping, yum. We ate our meal in the new dining room addition, very clean. We ended up ordering more food to take home.

We have stopped here several times and are impressed every time with the quality of the food and the great service at Madras Cafe! The owner is very kind and willing to help accommodate dietary preferences! We love to see quality, authentic Indian food! The fact that it is vegetarian is an added bonus for us!

Amazing South Indian food hidden in plain sight! Great service, authentic vegan and vegetarian friendly food, and the most kind hearted owner and staff! A must try if you want the kind of meal that will leave you feeling warm and fulfilled for hours afterward!

This restaurant is phenomenal! The owner/chef is welcoming and patiently explains all the food on the menu. He was careful to ask about spice preferences and food allergies.
Our meal was so amazing! We tried appetizers and some meals. The samosas were delicious and fresh. The veg. manchurian was full of flavor. We also had thali and dosa, both were out of this world. Looking forward to eating here again!

First time here and it was amazing! I had their special for Saturday, the chapati & karma. Warming and delicious! The owner is very friendly and personable. Great family business. Also very reasonable dinner prices. Highly recommend!!!

We really enjoyed our experience at Madras Cafe! My partner and I had not tried South Indian cuisine, so this was such a treat. The folks here were so warm, welcoming, and happy to help explain the menu. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend giving this place a try.

All vegetarian dishes, the owners are the cooks. When we ordered he was very kind and explained what each dish was and pointed to its picture behind the counter. We had a cutlet and samosa as an appetizer, then had the onion masala Dosa (triangle shaped food), and the vegetable uttapam (circle food). Samosa and Dosa were definitely the stars of the show. Served with disposable plates/cutlery. Has 4 tables (two 2-seaters and two 4-seaters). I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. So so good. (Not pictured samosa and cutlet)

My husband and I went here for dinner on a Friday and had a great experience! It’s a small operation, but the fresh authentic food is well worth the wait. We had the Masala Vada from the appetizer menu, which was crispy and delicious with just the right amount of spice. We followed that with the North Indian Thali and South Indian Thali. We enjoyed both dishes- lots of small flavorful bites. The South Indian Thali is a bit spicier than the North. I’d be remiss if I didn’t also mention the mango lassi and chai tea- both wonderful! We’ll certainly be back.

The staff was very friendly and helpful describing the dishes. There are many gluten-free options. We had two different dosas; both had wonderful flavor and came with a delicious pumpkin soup. Highly recommend for some authentic Indian cuisine!

The atmosphere is lacking, but the food is impressive. It's different and surprising and interesting and spicey! We loved the food and also the conversation with the chef. We will be back again and again.

The food is excellent, an easy 5-star. It’s South Indian cuisine which has not been as widely available as other types of Indian food in the United States historically. But it’s easily just as good. It’s all vegetarian, but carnivores’ taste buds will still delight.

The restaurant experience was not quite as exceptional as the food, though it seems like they’re still figuring things out somewhat. Giving them a little benefit of the doubt as I think it can be done!

Great to have this new option in town. Most Indian restaurants serve Northern Indian food. This Southern Indian food is a great and welcomed change of pace!
