    It's near sarjana chowk in ranchi. South Indian food like idli, dosa, Vada etc are delicious here. Other than South Indian food they offer you a variety of Chinese and Indian food as well. During my last visit I had ordered chhole bhature here. I have waited nearly 5-7 min. When I got the food on my table. There are chhola, bhatura, onion slices and pickles on the plate. The taste of chhola was 3.5/5. Bhatura was perfect. The price was moderate not too high nor too low. Parking is an issue here. Service was very quick I can say.

    This place just doesn't deserve to be called Madras coffee, Idli over here smells like it's been kept for ages before being served, it's hard and gooey .if I had to talk about Dosa, it was so bad that my friends couldn't even finish it, they were feeling like puking all the way back. Ok I can understand something things go wrong but how can you mess up the chutney this is one of the easiest things but no they did it they messed up all the three chutney as much as they could. Frankly, I don't think anyone will be able to appreciate it if they have ever tasted real south Indian. Apart from South Indian, I tried some Chinese food which was as mediocre as any roadside there Wala which is much cheaper than what they charge you over here.

    The manager is more of business oriented than service oriented. Talks of money even on very small stuffs like extra paper cup for cup of coffee. Don't carry smile while serving. Although, restaurant is blessed to be crowded every now and then. A genuine feedback. If restaurant owner is reading, please take it constructively.

    Found this randomly walking on this street. Went there for coffee but tried dosa and chowmein, which turned out good. There is no space for parking the street is full of hustle bustle.

    The restaurant is vegetarian and provides delicious chinese as well as South Indian dishes. It is opened till 10:00 PM and is situated at the main road. These days the quality of the food provided has significantly reduced as well as the staffs aren't able to manage both online and offline orders.

    This is below average restaurant. Not truly south Indian. Worthless taste and packing. Behaviour is terrible. The best South Indian food is kuppuswami. Do not order on this restaurant.

    I went to this cafe for the first time today.Ordered filter coffee and onion bhajiya and truly loved both of it. After having Onion Bhajiyas we started craving for tea😀 hence ordered that too and it was also very good.

    Very old place for south indian cuisine. Pure authentic taste of dosa, uttapam, idli sambhar,vada. Chinese food options are available.

  • 4/5 Raunak S. 2 years ago on Google
    Established in 1954, Madras Coffee House in Lalji Hirji Road, now known as Madras Cafe Ranchi is one of the oldest South Indian Restaurants in town, we had idli and masala dosa,pretty reasonable pricing also..!!

  • 5/5 pankaj k. 2 years ago on Google
    Best south indian food in jharkhand.... Just one word to describe it- amazing... Taste- 5/5 Presentation-5/5 Location-5/5 near St Xavier's College and main road Price - 5/5- very reasonable price- 100 rupees for masala dosa and 25 rs for filter coffee... It's masala dosa is better than Kaveri masala dosa which charges 150 for the same.

  • 5/5 Manoj K. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 oindrila g. 2 years ago on Google
    Best Dosa, idli, uttapam, chutney and sambhar . Chinese and other snacks are good too. Nice place and staff. Reasonable price, fast service.

  • 3/5 Saurav M. 2 years ago on Google
    Masala dosa tasted way better when I went there as a kid. Now the quality is maintained but taste has definitely deteriorated. The problem from my understanding lies in the dosa batter and coconut chatni. The red chatni was fine and the sambhar was yummy.

  • 4/5 Sandeep K. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited after a long, still got the calm and same taste. Nice place.

  • 5/5 Kaushal S. 4 years ago on Google
    Went there after being recommended by a friend. The food was good, ambience felt nice as well. Would certainly visit again. The coffee deserves a special mention, if you are a coffee lover then you surely will like it.

    Most pathetic and disgusting food ever. Watery, bland chutney, sweet bela kachoris and crappiest dosas. Boycott this place.

  • 4/5 Krishna Rajak (. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently stayed at Madras Cafe Vista which I liked the best and then the breakfast was also fantastic.Having good restaurant reviews is crucial these days. It is not just making our decision to pick one easier, it is also helping the restaurant be more successful. You can quickly copy and paste these good restaurant review examples, publish them on Facebook, Yelp or other rating platform and help the restaurant get higher ratings and more customers.This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide wine list and wonderful dessert. I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.First time in madras cafe and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The chiken briyani is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.

  • 5/5 Prateek K. 1 year ago on Google
    It is good place to have South Indian food, The shop is very old, but the taste is still the same. The place is not very big but they have always changed the ambiance as time changes.

  • 4/5 Abinaya R. 1 year ago on Google
    Taste-wise, it's pretty awesome and authentic. Service was little delaying, (made to wait), but good and polite. Price, a little much. Size of dosa varieties - 👍🏻👍🏻. Quantity of curry varieties- a little less for the price. Residents of Ranchi can give it a try❤️👌🏻👍🏻.

  • 2/5 Harsh K. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    It used to be my favourite weekend spot with friends in the past. However, I've noticed a significant decline in the taste and quality of their food recently. Today, I ordered a Dosa, and unfortunately, it was still soggy, which left me quite disappointed again with the overall quality. Their is nothing like before.

  • 1/5 Rajdeep C. 10 months ago on Google
    Worst tasting idli I ever had in life. I am extremely sorry to say that Don't visit this restaurant for having South Indian dishes. I think they don't know how to make South Indian food.

  • 5/5 Ravi K. 9 months ago on Google
    The restaurant I visited last night was a delightful experience. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, with dim lighting and soft music in the background. The menu offered a variety of dishes, from classic comfort food to more exotic options. I opted for their signature dish, a mouth-watering steak with a side of roasted vegetables. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the meat was cooked to perfection. The service was attentive and friendly, making for a great overall dining experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a relaxing atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Nikita D. 9 months ago on Google

    Madras Cafe, Ranchi serves freshly prepared South Indian food/ snacks. Snacks such as noodles and rolls are also available here. Cleanliness is good. Still, one misses the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the spices of Madras Coffee House of the decade of late 60s.
