Food was really nice but the portion sizes were a bit small. If they could improve the potion sizes then it would probably be the best Indian I’ve had in Melbourne.

The staff are lovely and the food divine. We had Gangotree's Famous Pav Bhaji and Buhari's Chicken 65 for entree, and Goat Curry and Chettinadu Chicken for main. Really good curry that leaves an aromatic taste in your mouth long after you have completed the meal. Highly recommend this place. Atmosphere is really good too.

Madras Bros offers fantastic southern Indian cuisine, served in a casual environment with great staff. We had the pane puri, Kulipanayaram, goat and fish curry and all our dishes were delicious. Can't wait to go back there and working our way through the menu.

Good food especially the mains but it's a bit pricey. Service is good. The snacks of pav bhaji, fish cutlet weren't anything close to Indian Street food taste but will recommend peanut masala and kulipaniyaram.

Really delicious food! I found myself diverted by the sharing snacks from (sharing) the small main course meals. It felt more like contemporary-style shared plates than the feast you usually have at an Indian restaurant, and for me, that didn't feel right. Makes me realise that I love a lavish spread of Indian veg, dhal, breads, rice, pickles, raita etc.

Good, flavourful, spicy food. Not too "localised" so Indians wanting spice will like it. Courteous staff and friendly manager. Good ambience in beer garden at back. Priced bit high compared to usual indian restaurants but not as high as fine dining. Has more snacks than mains but not just the common idli, dosa options. Would definitely go back.

It was an enjoyable and different dining experience. Unfortunately the website didn't explain how they do lunch versus dinner, so we were a little disappointed with the lack of choice. However what we did have was enjoyable. Staff friendly and helpful.

Food and service was very good but unfortunately music was a little too loud. Disappointed with the dosai....menu should explain a kal dosa is a more like a pike let than a traditional dosa. However the overall experience was good and food quality and freshness was worth the price. We will be back!

The food as good quality and generous although my partner queried the authenticity of some of the food. Wine small but quality The waiters were nice guys but were hopeless - wrong orders, not knowing the food, etc etc. Loud rock music ruined the ambiance as chennai is a musical centre in india. A ;little more could be done with the tamil decor!
