“Today we had a delicious and fun lunch at The Madras Cafe. I ordered a Thali lunch special. There was so much food I couldn’t finish! The Chana Masala is delicious. The green bean/onion/pepper curry was delicious. Our server, Fernandes, took great care of us and was happy to explain anything we wanted to know about the different dishes. One of us had a birthday and they brought us a special dessert on the house. We ordered extra food to take home and enjoy later. We are definitely going back.“

We sent it back twice and when the manager asked we politely told him and he went back cook us a batch himself and served it. The rest of our meal was delicious absolutely delicious. We got the chicken masala and the fish masala. Oh it was delectable, wish I had gotten take out. But oh well next time. The restaurant's atmosphere was good. It seemed rich and well thought of.

“We were hosting an event in Orlando and were a bit skeptical to order from an unknown restaurant! We really made the best choice after looking at several reputable restaurants in the area! We were more than thrilled with our catering order and everything was a hit! From Lolli pop chicken l, tandoori chicken to Chicken Tikka Masala! You know when the guests are complimenting the food, it’s a great sign! The only bit of feedback I have is the chicken tikka lacked meat, more curry than meat! We will be visiting this restaurant and cater any future events when we are in town! Also, the staff and Sid/Suhant were very friendly and helpful! Kudos to great customer service!“

“Great place to go restaurant“

“Amazing menu must try oxtail“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Naatu Naatu Indian Vegetarian Restaurant in Orlando! The idlis were some of the **softest and fluffiest** we’ve ever had, and the **Mysore masala dosa** had that pure, authentic South Indian taste we were hoping for.

The **layered Malabar paratha with veg keema masala** was another standout — flaky, flavorful, and perfectly complemented by the rich veg keema masala.

Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. A fantastic spot for anyone who loves genuine Indian vegetarian food. **Highly recommend!** 🇮🇳❤“

“We thought how can this place have 4.8 stars? So, we found out why. We went to the Orlando Farmer’s Market and found the food items there really expensive. So we went to find a nearby restaurant and found Dada. What a find! We really liked their buffet. The dishes were really nice and fresh. They kept being refreshed and filled food to replenish. They had 2 desserts and my favorite, gulab jaman were outstanding. I added a masala chai to the meal and it too was perfect. Of course they offer a rather large menu of items for dinner as well. We have not had an Indian Buffet in a really long time and the food was really good. Give them a try and park behind the building as there are lots of spots, then walk around to the front door. YUMM!“

“Indian Pavilion - RAVE!! I visited Indian Pavilion with my husband for the first time some time ago and honestlymeasure other restraunts against our experience. We enjoyed the lunch buffet together and highly recommend others to visit and enjoy. Indian Pavilion is one of my favorite, if not the favorite, Indian restaurant. I have tried several other places in Orlando, and nowhere matches the same level of food quality and service.“

“Great service they treat you like family. The food was amazing I had the butter chicken with the garlic naan. So delicious! The chicken curry was amazing as well. Amazing experience I loved it. I will be returning. I recommend that you try this place.“

“What a tasty experience! The restaurant is very clean and the staff are very friendly. I was excited not only for the vegetarian options but also the choice to swap out for additional veggies, like pumpkin or eggplant. Pumpkin and potato vegetarian roti and the chicken roti we're both really yummy! We can't wait to come back and try more dishes!“

I’m a vegetarian, and I’m thrilled to discover that I have a wide variety of options to choose from. I’m definitely going to visit more frequently now.“

Rahman is warm and welcoming, I asked for a recommendation and he suggested the Portuguese chicken...and he was so right, it was amazing!! My husband got the Tikka masala and it was phenomenal also. We have traveled to 58 countries and we can honestly say this food is just delicious, stop in and have some fantastic eats!“

“I have never had white rice this good and it was delivered. I can't recommend this place enough. I'll go in soon to see it for myself but wow do they put their soul into the food. I'm an egg fried, or do something to it person. I was wrong.“

“I just had my wedding last weekend and I will say that’s probably the best food I had. With over 600+ people, not 1 complaint about the food and the service! Arun uncle really works with you with the food options and brings in his best Team!“

“The fries here are so flavorful and yummy! I got them pretty quickly line wise and after i ordered i only had to wait about 3 minutes. They came out so hot i could barely hold the container. The sauce it came with wasnt for me but i believe its a spicy or siracha mayo and im not a mayo girl. But they have ketchup and thats exactly what my taste buds wanted. the line can get long and its on a main patch so you can feel in the way but its definitely worth a stop!“

“So good the first time we came back two days later. Great staff and Delicious food. Definitely not the same ol park food.“

“Five star south Indian restaurant:
I’ve never actually been there in person, but I order from them on Uber Eats all the time. The food is always fresh, tastes amazing and honestly feels like home cooked food. I’ve never had any stomach issues after eating here which I really appreciate. They’re also super friendly and usually add a little extra if I ask. If you’re thinking about trying this place
definitely do you won’t regret it!“

“I just realized (as I was checking-in) that this place has a fb page!! I came here to write a review and I'm shocked seeing 2 or 3 people leaving a terrible review. Me and my husband live in Tampa and have been coming here for about three years now. There is not a single time we go back home, not having lunch or dinner at this restaurant. My family is Pakistani so let me tell you the taste is LEGIT! Its very flavorful and the staff is super nice every single time. They were in need of a make-over which I'm so glad they redid the decor and its incredibly beautiful!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Definitely recommend 10/10“

“If you're in the area try this restaurant the food is so delicious and favorable! I had the pleasure of tasting during Diwali this year in Sanford, FL. I will be going back to try other dishes!😋“

“Horrible experience today , food ordered and waited 35 minutes , dirty tables , mixed grill platter had literarily 5 pieces for 16.99 that is a rip of. , chicken tikka masala tastes too salty and no flavor, will never go there again“

“Stumbled into this place inside the passageway with the Coy ponds on Park Ave in Winter Park. The ambiance is amazing- elegant but casual enough. We all ordered one of their lunch specials. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. I had the Chicken Korma prepared with mild heat. The chicken was perfectly prepared - tender and juicy, and the sauce was bursting with flavor. It was served with tomato soup with coriander, Basmati rice, a spicy little samosa, and a delightful little sweet - Gulab Jamun, to finish it all off. The service was excellent being both attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this wonderful place.“

“Recently used their catering services for 250 guests for a fund raiser . Food was excellent,service was superb,and was enough for more than 250 people. I Will highly recommend Kabob King for great tasting menu and great customer service“

“Waited for half an hour for the service , No service ..Cutlery was dirty and the front desk person didn’t even bother when we were leaving without food. Heard a lot of good things about the restaurant,but all the hopes went into vain..highly disappointed Do not recommend at all“

“Food is excellent and service is great.“
