“ From out of town, found restaurant through Yelp...Went in for dinner. We ordered Chole Bhatura, pongal, dosai, and uttapam. The food was good and the portions were large. The staff was attentive. The place was nice and relaxing. ”

“ Onam Sadhya was excellent.Every dish served was tasty and portions were generous too! Nice to eat on a banana leaf and neat service! Hope to try other dishes too next time ”

“ Had a lunch buffet and all the dishes were absolutely delicious. Great service, very friendly and courteous staff. Simple, and casual but a great place to dine, would recommend if you are looking for South Indian cuisine. ”

“ One of the best South Indian vegetarian restaurants in the DMV area. Every thing in their menu is from various regions of south India. I went there for lunch buffet on the weekend. It almost closing time, but the staff was nice to try it out. They kept their buffet open for slightly longer so I didn't have to rush. Dosa with three different types of chutneys were my favorites. They have a live dosa counter so you can order as many as you want. Vegetable biryani was delicious. Nothing here is spicy. Unlike the chettinad style cuisine, the spice levels are pretty good. Ambiance was just like any other restaurant. Nothing too fancy. Very casual place and nice staff. Highly recommend it if you want to try nice South Indian vegetarian buffet. ”

“ An amazing lunch spot! Serving up all-vegetarian food, Madras Palace has authentic, delicious, homey -feeling South Indian delicacies. On a Monday lunch I got the Onion Masala Dosa - crispy and soft in all the right ways, the masala was flavorful and the dosa was served with two tangy chutneys and sambar. I tried a friend's Vada Curry dosa and was honestly blown away - it was my first time trying this unique specialty and the flavor was unlike any South Indian dish I had tried thus far! Would probably get this next time. Service was fast, ambiance was standard, and it seemed like the lunch buffet (which includes dosa brought to you directly) was a great deal. Would definitely bring my family here! ”

“ This is one of the few Indian restaurants that really does it right. Their food is pretty close to authentic and has spice. Their buffets are also pretty great (especially Mother's Day and Father's Day). Their mango lassi is delicious. Sweet, creamy, and so much mango flavor. $5 The garlic naan is also delicious, and one order comes with 4 pretty big pieces! The bread is just crispy enough while still being soft and malleable. The garlic flavor is very mild, and it is garnished with coriander. $5 The paneer butter masala is excellent. Super creamy, tons of paneer, and served in a nice vessel along with a mound of rice. The paneer is extremely soft and cooked perfectly. $16 The channa batura is massive. This alone could easily feed two people. It is fried well and served with a mildly spiced channa curry. $16 ”
