Madras Dosa Co is comfort, consistency, and kindness wrapped into one perfect South Indian bite. Every visit feels like being welcomed back by family and that experience starts the moment you're greeted by the incredibly friendly staff. A special shoutout to Shafi, who truly makes this place shine. He always takes such wonderful care of us, remembers regulars, and serves everything with the kindest smile. That genuine hospitality makes all the difference and keeps us coming back again and again. Restaurant was simple and clean, with some Bollywood songs playing in the back. Now, the food. Absolute perfection. - Masala Dosa: Crisp on the outside, soft inside, generously filled with perfectly spiced potato masala. Light, flavorful, and endlessly satisfying. - Ghee Podi Idli Vada: Comfort food elevated. The ghee podi adds just the right kick, the idlis are pillowy soft, and the vada is golden, crisp, and addictive. - Chai & Filter Coffee: Hands down some of the best in the city. Strong, aromatic, and deeply comforting. On a cold morning, this combo feels like a warm hug in a cup. Everything here feels thoughtfully prepared, from the food to the service. Whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast, warming up on a winter morning, or introducing someone to South Indian flavors for the first time, Madras Dosa Co never disappoints.

We have been looking forward to this opening for a while now- love good dosas and now we don't have to travel far to get them. They make 'em fresh with ingredients of your choice (meat, cheese, and vegetables!) and the price is ok too since it includes sambal and coconut curry. Also, the employees looked happy to be there and share their passion for good Indian food with us. Pretty sure we'll be regulars going forward!

So good! The packaging is great for take out and I loved the sauces it came with. I got the Build Your Own with Chicken and Spiced Veggies and the total came out to be ~$20. Very filling portion, super tasty and pretty quick!

Perfect dosa! Made quickly and delicious rasam and chutney. Casual location but enjoyed it as a casual non chain midtown east option.

The food is mediocre at best. The sambar recipe needs improvement. The vada is too thick and doughy. The staff are pleasant and helpful.

Great service and good …read more Love the poppadums are more UK style than usual US papads . I opted for Chicken Tikka Masala with plain naan and rice . Rice comes with the meal . Overall great entrees. Meat was great and sauce was perfectly spiced per my medium request . Service was prompt and overall definitely a go to place for a well priced Indian meal .

Cuisine: 6 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 4 Overall: 6 I tend not to trust ethic food Yelp reviews in touristy areas because they tend to be skewed by tourists, and not locals. However, sometimes you just take a chance and pray it lives up to the hype. Having a short period of time before our show at Radio City Music Hall, two of us shared a quick bite here after a few snacks on the nearby street fair. Just one order of Chicken Tikka Marsala, Garlic Naan, and a Mango Lassi. I'm actually not a big fan of Chicken Tikka Marsala because it's often too sweet and creamy for me. Though the chicken was overcooked, I did find this version quite differernt, in a good way. It had depth, and definitely a lot of heat, even on the medium level, the spiciness was very noticeable. My dining partner would have died without that Mango Lassi, which was yummy. Lmao On the other hand, the Garlic Naan was horrible. Instead of being a pillowy soft bread with some chew, it was stiff and cardboard-ish. This is one of the worst versions I had in NYC. Not sure how this major blunder can be overlooked. Naan is such an important part of Indian food culture, I can't believe they haven't realize that they need to fix this matter. Btw, service was efficient, almost too efficient that it felt rushed. One minute after we were seated, we were asked if ready to order. Again, we were asked literally one minute later. Then, just as we were finishing our meal, and while I'm still chewing my final bite of food, the bus boy cane to take our plates away. I was technically done, but would have like to have had a minute. Finally, without asking about desserts, another server came by with our check as if to say, "Please pay and make room for the next guests." I know we wanted a quick meal, but never thought we would be in and out of a situation down restaurant in less than 30 minutes. Hahaha Anyway, I live in Queens where we have same quality Indian restaurants at a much lower price point. Portions are bigger too. For me, this is an attempt at finding a gem that everyone seems to suggest. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to return to an Indian restaurant knowing they can't properly make naan.

the $135 tasting menu after much consideration (and knowing my boyfriend was paying ). I knew I was…read moregoing to like this bc I love Indian food lol. However because Indian food has complex flavors in general, I feel like fancy chefs tasting version was less impressive than other cuisines (bc Indian food is already sho good lol). Still this was really delicious, like legit the best Indian food I've ever had for sure for sure. Some notes on food: - pumpkin & coconut shorba SOOOOO GOOD... i've had starter broths and consummes but this was probably my favorite, it was warm and hearty and flavorful. - jackfruit: decided to give this a try and it was most definitely worth the try.... not sure how tf they cooked this but it was so good - lobster tail: cooked to perfection but more importantly the sago and the sauce were very delicious. i told sam he could have most of da lobster but i just wanted more sauce - then when I was thinking i was pretty full they gave us these 4 dishes. the naan(??) was just ok a lil too doughy but holy the dal moradabadi was so good just on its own too - makhan malai: SO FAT AND HUGE AND JIGGLY LOL. at first the saffron & cardamom flavors were a little too sudden but it grew on me almost instantly and the texture is actually godly like so airy and soft and whipped as hell. I could've had another fat bowl of it but also it was comical how much they gave lol.

Very good food. Interesting Indian dishes and for the quality and quantity, the 3 courses is pretty…read morefair pricing and also definitely enough food for 2 people. The starters were the pumpkin soup and the blue cheese naan. The soup was very yummy and had a nice flavor. The blue cheese naan was very potent. For the starters we chose the tofu and the potato sphere. The tofu was crispy and had a really nice texture. Never had tofu like that before. The potato sphere was also super interesting. I wish it had a filling though. The middle dish we got was the yogurt kebab. The texture of the yogurt was very interesting. The sauce was pretty spicy but again another dish that was super interesting. For mains we got the lamb and the paneer. The paneer texture was good and the sauce was very yummy as well. The lamb was very tender and was very delicious. The roti it came with was also so soft and delicious. The green chutneys were my favorite. The chicken kulcha and black daals were also good. Personally loved the black daal and the garlic naan the most. I think these two dishes could have had more flavor. For dessert we had the black rice cake with the rice pudding. The black rice cake flavor wasn't my favorite. The rice pudding was great. They also surprised us with an extra birthday dessert which was the saffron foam dessert. I really liked this one and the flavor was super interesting. Service was great all night. The only thing throwing me off was the b health rating. If you're looking for an upscale Indian restaurant to celebrate something this one is great.

The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, elegant, and comfortable atmosphere! The place wasn't busy. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. I had the Lentil Soup as the first course and Aloo Gobi Matar as Entrée. Both were tasty, also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Their menu offers a variety of choices, including options that are gluten free, dairy free, and soy free. I would definitely come back and suggest you give this place a try if you are in Hell's Kitchen or Columbus Circle.

The spot also felt incredibly empty and devoid of love. It's interesting because nearly every review here is very positive and speaks of Jaz being there, so maybe it's different if she is, but we didn't see her. The person there was incredibly mild mannered and quiet, like the food. If you're in hells kitchen and need takeout or indian food this seems like an acceptable choice. If you want great Indian food this does not measure up to the likes of Dhamaka or Adda or even GupShup in my opinion.
