Welcome to Cafe Madras
Podi is a grainy hot dried ground masala. The Butter Idli Podi came dunked in coconut chutney and slathered on top with Podi. The soft Idli Butter Podi drowned in coconut chutney with a slathering of the grainy Podi Once you ordered, it almost seemed like the blink of an eye before the waiters were right there with the piping hot food (reminded us of the elves in Hogwarts).

While many restaurants today serve South Indian fare in fusion versions such as Pav Bhaji Dosa, Cafe Madras remains authentic. The prices are reasonable, making it accessible to a wide range of patrons, from students to families.
A famed recipe from the Nattukotai Chettiar clan of Tamil Nadu, this chicken dish is prepared with roasted coconut, a variety of herbs and freshly ground spices. A dish created in the kitchens of the old Mughal emperors — chicken tikka in a rich sauce of coconut and cream balanced with exquisite spices. This dosa is sprinkled with podi, a spicy powder made from cafemadras.org lentils, red chillies, and spices, before being folded and served. White rice served with thin spicy soup made of tomato, tamarind juice, curry leaves and Indian spices.Yes, vegan free / Yes, gluten free Both the chutney and sambhar is very tasty as per south indian style

As there are 12 other south Indian restaurants in a span of 1 km, we asked him how he views the competition.
As you wait for the food to come to your table, take a look around you.
The original location of the café is not specified in the film.
This dish boasts a thick, rich gravy, brimming with intense spices.
Despite the passage of time and the changing culinary landscape of Mumbai, the café has stayed true to its original recipes and cooking methods.
The waiter asked multiple times to leave though we sat there only for 45 min as our family is of slow eaters. The dosa idle were decent but not worth sitting in congested tables with no AC. MTR pre mix dosa batter gives better taste than whatever they serve here.
No matter what time of the day you come, you can never make it straight to the table. Now the waiting time at Café Madras is FAMOUS!!! He will flash a familiar smile or say ‘Hi’ while taking down your name and the number of chairs you need, and will also give you an estimation of the waiting time. And if there is a child with you, the staff will bring a dollop of butter for the dosa or idli, in case the child finds the sambhar too spicy.
