Madras Club House - Surrey, British Columbia

We went to this restaurant with high hopes as the name Madras just captivated our attention. We were totally disappointed the moment we entered the restaurant. Not well kept place. Ambiance was exactly as a low-class local restaurant in India with old unused furniture kept right in the front of ... the entrance sitting there as a Huuuuuge eyesore for customers. But who cares about that? We ordered Coffee, that came in tiny cups. It was fine but not good. Dosa was okay. Idli was decent BUT, if you ask any Indian, Sambar is the soul of south indian food and that totally destroyed our dining delight here. The cook added loads of hot water as it is done in India making it over diluted, watery, low flavored hot water drink. It was a shame that they served the same disgraced diluted Sambar with all servings that we ordered. We did not like the food and dining experience here. Servers were okay but were so dull and sleepy it seemed. We are not going to go there again. Read more

This is our second visit. The first time we came there was very less salt in all their dishes including chutney and sambar. This time they were good. We tried onion uthapam, chillie idli and onion rava mysore masala dosa. All of them tasted good. Sambar is also good compared ... to other restaurants where we have had South Indian food. Would recommend this place for their food and service both are good. Some pics of dosa from our previous photos attached. Read more

Excellent customer service Priced fairly Great food Inviting atmosphere The owner and workers at Madras Club Cafe were very inviting and had a smile on their faces throughout our dine in. They made sure we were comfortable and checked on us a couple times and had some of the best customer service I've seen ... at restaurants. The food was priced fairly and 2 can dine in for $30 and be full. The food also tasted different than most restaurants as they have their own unique spin on it with the spices which mimicks Korean foods. It's interesting. A great place to come alone, with a friend, and with family, highly recommend a visit! Read more

We went on a weekday to this place and the food was awesome. We ordered rava masala dosa, chicken chukka with parotta and chettinad soup. They are all freshly made and taste was top notch. True south india Restaurant recommend people giving it a try. Price is competitive to other indian ... restaurants in Surrey. Only complaint is the bathroom was not maintained clean when we visited.

This place was recommended to us by some friends - and I'm very glad I took their advice. At first glance this place looks like a bit of a dive, but I assure you the food makes up for the venue. We found that all of the staff members were ... extremely kind and happy to help. The dosa are best I've had in the city, I recommend the spring dosa. The chili paneer is another must-have item here. Highly recommend!! Read more
