The place is small, full of South Indians and is always full - if you get a place on Sunday afternoon you must be incredibly lucky. Neeraj was with me (we had a meeting at Wadala with Apna Paisa) and as Neeraj is mostly veggie (on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) this was where we decided to go.
We ordered the Combined Lunch (which i had heard a lot about), a Mysore rawa dosa and Butter Poodi Idli - which I had loved on my previous visit. The combined lunch was half curd rice, half Bisi Bele Rice (this sometimes changes according to the rice of the day). The curd rice was the best i have had, slightly sweet and tasting a bit like raita - it had some cucumber pieces in it. The Bisi Bele Rice was a bit like a good khichudi though it had a distinct South India flavour and was very tasty.
The Dosa was good although i am not an expert and will not comment. The Idli was as good as it was the first time - surpassing the high expectations a second visit always brings. The dish is served with 2 idlis, sprinkled with butter and Poodi and with chutney spread over it. The best i have had in Mumbai - Absolutely wonderful, though not a match for Murugan in Chennai.
All this for a 100 Bucks. Super in true Southern style!
How to get there: Madras Cafe is just off Kings Circle. It is on the exit just bordering the Reliance Communications showroom on the left.
