Madurai Modern Cafe offers a taste of authentic South Indian cuisine, featuring a menu with a variety of dosas, idlies, and vadas. Customers frequently praise the restaurant’s flavorful sambar, crispy vadas, and super soft idlies, which remind them of the dishes found in Tamil Nadu. The food is always hot and fresh, coming out quickly in a clean and modest eatery. It is less cramped for space and not overly crowded, making it a more enjoyable experience. While the filter coffee may not be a standout, it is noted as strong and delicious. The overall dining experience is described as consistently good, with reasonable prices and a home-cooked style that is totally affordable for everyone. It is recognized as a go-to spot for South Indian breakfast foods, with many customers expressing a desire to return and try more items from the extensive menu.
However, it’s important to note that this is a small business operating with minimal staff, often with only one person taking orders and preparing food, leading to a wait time of about 20 minutes after ordering. Customers appreciate the reasonable food portions for the price. Some favorites include poori and ghee roast, though the mango lassi is noted to be smaller in portion for the price. Parking can be tight during peak hours, and customers are encouraged to clean up after themselves.
