Excellent food & service! The idli was super soft, just like in Tamil Nadu, & the parotta was freshly made & delicious. We loved the authentic taste & the quality of the food. The lady who served us was very welcoming & made us feel at home. Highly recommended!

If you are looking for an authentic South Indian food in South Shore area, you can get delicious food here with homely taste.

While the Curries & Dosas hit the mark, the Kothu & the Biryani definitely need improvement to match the high standard of the rest of the menu.

A very authentic Indian restaurant with great hospitality & service. Being a spice lover this is the second place after Surrey I could eat something spicy in Canada. Chicken curry is the best & their chicken thali is great.

Madras Curry House is my forever go-to for South Indian food! I always order online, & most of the time I just leave a little note in the comments, & they actually make it exactly how I like it 🥹❤? From fluffy idlis & crispy dosas to rich chicken curry, comforting vada curry, & the freshest fish & shrimp, every dish is full of authentic flavor. The food is so comforting & nostalgic, it truly feels like a warm hug from home. Thank you for always delivering more than just food!💛

The food was spectacular. Everything from rasam to Podi dosa was delicious. We come from Toronto & having eaten at Gurulakshmi & Sarvana Bhavan our standards for South India food are pretty high.

An absolute must visit if you're looking for authentic South Indian cuisine.
