“ Finally made it out to The Madras and I'm glad I did. Had Goat Fry Biryani, Dal Tadka, and Garlic Naan. Everything was delicious and it was so much food. The two of us could not come close to finishing everything. Medium spice was spicy enough for us. The goat was tender and the rice was cooked perfectly. Dal Tadka is one of my new favorite Indian dishes. This would be a good winter meal. Garlic naan was on point. Friendly service. They gave us enough time to decide. We were too excited about the menu and couldn't decide what we wanted.. Didn't take long to get our food and everything was piping hot. Bright, spacious dining area. ”

“ Consistently tasty food on takeout! I tried a bunch of curries and they were all flavorful. Definitely recommend this place! ”

“ I had to fight traffic after picking my wife's car from the dealership. I knew I would not make it home and have enough time to cook dinner before my eating window closed at 6:00 PM. The only thing I could think of eating was Indian food. Once that was programmed in my brain, there was nothing left to think about. I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now. It is so nice to actually have two Indian restaurant choices on Bandera. Now before I go on, let me take a moment to throw myself a little pity party over the closing of the Chinese restaurant that used to be at this location. It was not my favorite, but did have the only authentic Chinese food in the area. My absolute favorite dish was braised intestines with preserved vegetables. I am not a "lemon chicken" kind of guy. Oh well... At least I know how to make it at home. Moving on... I arrived about 15 minutes before the restaurant opened, so I hiked to the Dollar Tree to waste time in the AC. When I got back there was a small army of people in red "The Madras Indian Cuisine" t-shirts. The entire staff had left during the 3:00 to 5:30 break and came back at the same time. Once the door was opened, they all headed to the kitchen, and the restaurant was suddenly filled with the sounds of cooking. The lady who took my order was very friendly and helpful. I ordered mutton curry, parottas, and rice. The curry came in a bowl with a spoon as if I should eat it like a stew. I guess that's why she looked at me funny when I ordered the rice. Anyway, I spooned some rice on my plate and covered it with the curry. Then I used the parotta to scoop some up to eat. That's probably not propper Indian eating manners, but hey... I am what I am! The mutton curry was terrific. It was just spicy enough to make me respect it. There were boneless and on the bone chunks of mutton, which I fished out and ate by themselves. Since I was the only one there for the first part of my meal, I shamelessly sucked and gnawed on those bones until I had every trace of meat, marrow, tendon, and juice off of them. You know- one of those methods my mama told me not to do in public. I guess the server may have noticed, because she actually asked me if I wanted more curry! I did want more curry, but I told her I was good. Y'all know I love Indian food. I am no expert, as I have clearly stated before. I just know what I like. So... how come I never had parottas before? I have always opted for garlic or buttered naan. These things were bigger than a tortilla and made of the most amazing stretchy and flaky dough. I honestly could have eaten 100 of them by themselves. When they were covered in curry, I had to close my eyes, take a few deep breaths, and get control of my heart rate. They were so good they I got a little giddy. Dang, I'm such a food wimp! The rice was just rice. Fluffy for sure, but just rice. Nothing to say here. I asked for an unsweet tea. The server came back and told me they didn't have any and talked me into a Marsala tea. It sounded exotic and tasty so I gave it a try. I was shocked when she brought a hot cup of it. I guess there is a language barrier. When my family and friends say unsweet tea, iced is assumed. Anyway, the tea was really good, but really only tasted like a chai to me. Well, one thing is obvious. I need to go back and try some other goodies on the menu. Lamb Vindaloo is probably next up with a half dozen of those parottas. I hope they sell them separately. ”

“ Excellent food at Madras Cuisine. We came to try this place due to reviews online. We picked up food to go. I had the paneer tikka masala which was delicious. Would definitely come back. ”

“ Amazing food and ambiance! The seating area is very spacious. Quick service too. We will definitely come back! ”

“ Amazing food start to finish and fantastic service! Server recommended the Thali mix plate and I tried the veggie which was fantastic. I will definitely return and recommend this place to all my friends. Thrilled to have this addition to the neighborhood. ”

“ The food is amazing. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, my husband got the lamb vindaloo & chicken lollipops as an appetizer. Amazing food, we'll be back! ”

“ They don't have a buffet but they have a Thali Specials area on their menu where you can say: Veg, Non-Veg, Seafood, or Mega! ... and they pick everything for you after that. I ordered the Seafood. There's also a self serve complimentary veg soup station. The waitress asks you if you prefer garlic butter naan or chappathi. Of course I wanted the naan but I asked her what she preferred. She recommended the Naan. Left super stuffed... couldn't finish the dessert... a semolina like porridge. I also left about 1/4 of the rice and 1/4 of the naan. I wanted to greedy eat the Naan but I knew I'd regret it. The fish curry was a white fish. There was also a calamari fried dish as well. I believe there was a chicken curry and of course a pickle and yogurt sauce. There's a tiffin combo special as well as South Indian specials too. Combos are a nice option for those that love Indian food but prefer buffets since you don't have to know how to combine the dishes in your ordering. On top of that ... unlike a buffet you get the made to order freshness. This dish was $17 ish on the menu and I paid $22 total with tip. I thought that was cheap for this presentation. There's a banana leaf underneath the bowls as well. ”

“ I'm excited to have a good Indian food place near my house. They've only been open about a week, and I've been twice already. The food is delicious and the menu is extensive. If you are new to Indian food, you may need to google what some items are as not every item on the menu has a description. I've tried the lamb kabab and the tandoori chicken and both were tender, fresh, and flavorful. The service was adequate and the staff is friendly. The value for the money is great. I can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu. ”
