⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Taste of South India at Madras Cafe If you’re craving authentic South Indian cuisine, look no further than Madras Cafe. Every dish we tried was outstanding—full of bold, traditional flavors that reminded me of Savana Bhavan. The dosas were perfectly crisp, the sambar was rich and comforting, and the chutneys were fresh and full of character. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy genuine South Indian fare. This place is a gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

I recently ate at this place, and honestly, it was so good! The varieties of dosa ,Noodles ,special Thali and desserts were on point— fresh, super flavorful and well prepared. The sambar and chutneys they served with it were amazing too. Definitely hit the spot. Overall, great food, awesome service, and that final touch of Kumbakonam Filter coffee is a game changer... Highly recommend!

Food was not up to the level. Was so delighted to find this authentic South Indian restaurant. Drove 30 miles from Green Bay to this restaurant after seeing 4.8 star rating, to be totally disappointed with the food. Expected better food... :(

I truly can’t express how special this place is. It’s a space you might not even expect to see if you’re not looking for it. I have never had such lovely and kind service. I felt like I was welcomed into someone’s home & taught their culture. This has become a family favorite , something now near and dear to our hearts. The food, indescribable. It’s a meal you must have in silence as your mouth experiences all the flavors. It’s 100% vegetarian. Come with an empty stomach and leave full. Who knew there was a new world to taste? I will be back, always.

This is a very unique place in WI, found this on one of our drives through the state. The food has a south Indian Brahmin touch to it. Very tasty and recommended to all. Some dishes were let down, sambhar and masala vada were not that good. The dosas were excellent, with the rice varieties. My biggest issue was that the price does not match the quantity. Very low quantity was my biggest issue.

Vegetarian options: Nice vegetarian options for the vegans and veggies.

It's a very inviting and spacious environment. Food exactly hits the mark. Attitude of all the staff is so Indian and homely. Food is amazing and yummy. Everyone in my family ordered different things ranging from vada to thali everything was perfect. My only request is to go traditional in serving utensils.
