Good Indian vegetarian restaurant. We went for their buffet lunch. The price of the buffet is reasonable. There was a good selection of south Indian dishes.

Awesome malai kofta ( a potato ball stuffed with some cheese grates, milk cream, and black pepper)Gravy was mild sweet (Made of tomatoes, cashews, onion, garlic, coriander) I ever had! I also tried onion masala dosa (Semolina, water, salt, coriander for crispy outing) and mashed potatoes which were seasoned with nice fresh spices and herbs.It was good but would have loved if they would have added a little of sugar to enhance its best taste ❤️ sambhar was really nice ?Vegetarian options: Lot of vegetarian options available in authentic Indian taste

Recommended dishes: Malai Kofta

I was recommended by some Indian friends to try out Madras Mantra since I was really craving dosas. We got the kofta, garlic naan, pani puri and masala dosa. They have a huge selection of vegetarian Indian dishes. The naan was very garlicky, just how I like it and the kofta was perfect. The pani puri puffs didn't seem as fresh as some of the ones I've previously had but it was good nonetheless. The dosa was definitely the star. I was not expecting two dosas in the order. The batter was perfectly crispy and the potato stuffing was a fluffy texture. This place is such a great deal for the amount of food, flavor and price. I'll be back soon for sure.

We went on a Saturday afternoon. Parking was easy but can get filled up pretty quickly. They have a big parking deck in the complex. They only have buffets on weekends. It's $17.99 + taxes per person. You have to pay in advance to get a table. We waited 10mins for a table for two. It's usually very busy on weekend lunch hours. The buffet spread is very authentic casual vegetarian Indian food. I tried and liked the South Indian food here. It was very crowded. The buffet was getting refilled generously and fast. The service was quick and the tables were clean. They keep taking the used plates off your table so you don't repeat the same plates when you go for your seconds. They did a pretty fine job at crowd control. The food is very home style. I loved the curd rice and tiny idlis. Dosa was also good. I haven't tried the North Indian stuff , I don't think it's my cup of tea. Overall a decent experience, I will revisit to satisfy my South Indian food cravings.

Idlis are beautifully puffed and fresh. Sambhar & chutneys have an authentic indian taste. A must stop for South Indian food.Vegetarian options: Idly

I've been to the Marietta location, but this was my first time here. There are of course numerous other Indian restaurants in the area, but this one offers a distinctive and large South Indian menu that I think is well worth trying. It wasn't the most amazing service experience as they were struggling to open up on time and no one was rushing over to take my order, but the food itself delivered. I'd never had an idli in chaat form, but that delivered an interesting experience heavy on the yogurt. Of their numerous dosas, I ordered the house special, and it was indeed a special filling with delightful black chickpeas, mung bean sprouts, fried noodles, and all manner of flavors. And that's before you start adding in the chutneys and sambar. These things are an embarrassment of riches when done right. So much flavor.
