Amazing food!! This is a must go restaurant in downtown Raleigh!!
This was our first time at Madras. Great food…loved the roasted cauliflower with green goddess dipping sauce. My husband loved the octopus. The outside Wednesday night band was an excellent bonus!!

Madre is a trendy and stylish restaurant in Smoky Hollow, offering a modern atmosphere. The menu features a creative selection of Spanish Tapas, including dishes like charred octopus, cauliflower, fried mushrooms, and burrata. The drinks are excellent, with options for those who prefer sweeter cocktails. The service is outstanding, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who ensure a great dining experience. The ambiance is lively and inviting, featuring a pleasant outdoor seating area and impressive interior design. Madre is open seven days a week and is within walking distance of Glenwood South, making it a popular choice for a night out. Visitors highly recommend the food, service, and atmosphere, especially the green sauce and dishes like Salchipapas and zucchini Tapas.
The recently added reviews praise the restaurant's impeccable service, delicious food, and chic, romantic ambiance. Customers enjoyed dishes such as pork belly, croquetas, and stuffed peppers, though some found the Albondigas (lamb meatballs) to be dry. The La Ferm bakery bread and tapenade butter were also highlights, though customers wished for better bread knives. The bathrooms were noted as unique but could have been cleaner. Overall, Madre is described as a classy and memorable dining experience, with customers looking forward to returning for brunch and cocktails.
