I had the opportunity to try Madurai mes express restaurant in Austin. Surprisingly, everything I had was all fresh and authentic South Indian with Madurai touch. After having proper full non veg meal with mouth melting fish masala and pallipalayam chicken, I was wondering whether I am in India or USA. We loved all the food from Mutton soup to unique cool jigarthanda. Wow ! What a food !. Last but not least, hospitality of Mr.Ibrahim was unforgettable with his request, we tried yummy seeraga samba rice mutton biryani.Surely will come back to this place to have finger licking food, when I come to Austin.

Excellent food and service. We had vegetarian variety tiffin (idli, dosa, pongal, vada and sweet), chole bhature, dosa and mango lassi. All three varieties of chutney and Sambhar were flavorful. Lassi did not have any artificial color, sweeteners etc added (which was a bonus for us).
Prices are nominal for the quality of food served. Definitely coming back.
Vegetarian options: Separate cookware for vegetarian

I had Ambur Chicken Biryani and Bhai Kadai mutton biriyani on two separate occasions. Both were amazing and the quantity is also good. After a longtime i had the most authentic tamil style biriyani here.

Tomato, Coconut and coriander chutneys were on point. Crispy and flaky Rawa dosa that came with green chilli, cashews and onions. Kari dosa set was made with food amount of filling and the goat paya was soft, curry was light and flavorful. Thank you to the chef Senthil Kumar, your hand is good ?

We ordered Guntur kara dosa, veechu parotta and idiyappam with veg salna. Dosa was top notch ( better without add ons), crisp, chutneys were rich and tasted good. Parotta was freshly made and crispy.
They have a lot of vegetarian options.

The veg and non veg Thali is very good. It took me back to India!!
This is the second time I’ve had the Bhai Kadai Mutton Biriyani at Madurai Mes. The first time, I dined in and enjoyed the flavor and taste of the biryani, but the meat was disappointing. As someone who's been eating goat meat for years, I could tell the meat was old—it had that distinct taste you get from reheating meat multiple times. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because the biryani itself was flavorful.
Today, I made the mistake of ordering the same Bhai Kadai Mutton Biriyani to-go, and unfortunately, the story repeated itself. While the flavor is still good, the meat is clearly not fresh. I won’t be making this mistake again. Quality of the meat is very imporant in getting repeat customers and this is very disappointing!

**CLOSED ON TUESDAY’s** Madurai Mes Express offers an exceptional dining experience with its authentic Tamil Nadu flavors. Despite a modest ambiance, the food shines—Ambur veg biryani, thalapakattu mutton biryani, MINI TIFFIN COMBO and veg Kothu parotta were all fresh and flavorful. A must-visit for those seeking genuine regional cuisine.
