Located in the heart of Glasgow city, right opposite to the St Enoch Centre, we used their parking which was very helpful. They offer a good spread of North Indian, South Indian, grill and seafood cuisine. The staff were friendly and service quick. The food was good quality, but we expected more of authentic Kerala cuisine. The seafood experts in our group specially mentioned that the seafood tasted fresh. Overall, it was a good dining experience.

Superb restaurant. Nice ambience, warm and friendly welcome. Lunch menu offers 2 courses for 12.95 - extra for a dessert. Not a huge range but enough to present a dilemma. The spicing of the food is subtle and intricate. Everything was perfectly cooked. The portions are generous. This has to be a contender for Glasgow's best Indian restaurant. We will be back.

We had the chicken sixty-five and aloo tikka for starters and the chicken tikka masala and chicken chettinad for main. Everything was well presented, fresh and flavoursome. The chettinad is outstanding! Garlic and coriander naan also a tasty treat. Staff very friendly. We eat out a lot and this is one of the best Indian restaurants we’ve tried.

Although we only had a few things, everything was excellent. The lamb biryani was fluffy and very flavorful, samosas nicely seasoned, the staff friendly, and the prices reasonable. I can see why they have received so much recognition at Indian food events.

Have visited Madras Cafe Indian restaurant a couple of times now, decided on the early bird menu which is good value, although there are quite a few add ons not included. The curries I've tried have been nice. Staff are friendly and willing to change things to suit which is nice.
