As all the other reviews have mentioned this place makes good dosas. I am from Madras and have grown up eating dosas at restaurants in India. To me, a good dosa experience is when the dosa taste good and when the dosa has the right crispiness in it. Madras Masala delivered on both fronts. We really enjoyed our food. The chutney and sambhar that comes along with the dosa were very authentic tasting.
We had two kids with us so we ordered some parathas for them. We were pleasantly surprised how good the parathas tasted. I ended up ordering one for myself after I had gobbled up my dosa.
The only disappointments were:
1) Appetizers - Vada and bajjis were not up to the mark. Did not taste fresh.
2) Dosas are enjoyed hot. Unfortunately it looked like they waited for all dosas in our order to be ready to bring them out together. My dosa was partly cold when it arrived.
3) The place is pretty small and on a cold winter day when we decided to go there, the place was not well heated. To add to that they gave us a table right at the door. We had to have our jackets on through out our meal. The already cold dosa that was given to us had to be consumed pretty quickly because it was getting really cold really fast.
