About Madras Idli Kadai

Madras Idli Kadai serves authentic Indian flavors, including a variety of thatu idly and dosas, such as the benne masala dosa. The restaurant offers fast service, reasonable prices, and great customer service. Vegetarian options are plentiful, and the food is fulfilling and authentic, with a note that the sambar can be spicy. The restaurant specializes in idli, or steamed South Indian cakes made from a fermented rice and lentil batter. The plain Malli Idli had a soft, fluffy texture and pure white color, served with sambar, earthy coconut chutney, salty peanut chutney, and sweet and spicy tomato chutney. The Triple Podi Idli came with three idlis topped with different podis, including a plain podi, a spicy nalla karam podi, and a salty curryleaf podi, each distinct in flavor and complementing the chutneys. Customers have praised the excellent food and perfect portions, highlighting the fantastic service from the staff, particularly Ganesh, the manager/owner, and Surya, the waiter. They noted that the restaurant does not charge for extra chutney and sambar, which is a refreshing change. The experience was described as pleasant, with recommendations for dishes like Thatti Podi Idly, Malli Dosa, Ghee Dosa, and Poori with Masala curry. Overall, Madras Idli Kadai is a simple but tasty restaurant offering quick, affordable South Indian bites.
