Madras Café — Restaurant in Newark

This restaurant, located within 'Madras Groceries,' is a branch of a popular South Indian eatery in Sunnyvale. Having eagerly awaited its opening near our home, we found the ambiance functional but basic. The filter coffee hit the mark, and the dosa was satisfying. However, the mini idlis and pongal were a bit dry, though the sambar was flavorful. With time, I hope they'll refine their offerings to match the quality of the Sunnyvale location. The service, led by a polite and respectful server/manager, deserves recognition. Looking forward to revisiting and possibly updating my review as the restaurant evolves. Wishing them success in...

Had been with a colleague for lunch. I had got unlimited lunch thali. But was surprised to see the quantity of sambar and vegetables served, it was in tiny cups which can hardly hold 2 heaped tablespoons. Surprisingly no one showed up to check on refills and when we requested the manager was called into and still he has asks what do you want for refill, so embrassing experience. Later even asking for extra buttermilk none showed up or updated. Quality of lunch thali was not up to standard, oeverall a pathetic first experience. Dont recommend for lunch...

THIS IS THE BEST Tamil “tiffen” restaurant i’ve had outside Chennai. Its truly a hidden gem in Fremont. The staff have a lot of heart and it shows in the quality of the food.

Everything was excellent - dosas, idly, parotta, Chapati, chutneys, etc. They also have veg biryani and chaat on the weekends - which are also a big hit.

The best part is- the food feels very healthy and not too oily at all. Even the poori didn’t feel as oily.

The menu is also very affordable given bay area...
