Madurai South Indian Cuisine - Stamford

We ordered Idli, chola batura and pav bhaji for to go. Everything was so tasteless and none is fresh.This is the worst Indian food I had in any restaurant. Don’t waste your money. I wish I could give zero stars.

They accept online orders but apparently they don’t receive it. After waiting for an hour I call and checked and they said they never received my order. I then placed my order on the call directly with them. They said delivery will be in another 45-50 mins. I call an hour later and they said I cancelled my order online. I don’t understand how they say my online order wasn’t received but has been cancelled. I don’t understand why they took my order over the phone and gave me a delivery time. Gross incompetence at all stages here.I used to order from here until a year back. I’m reminded why I stopped ordering from here and don’t intend to again.

Everything tasted like it came out of a can. The papadams not fresh and the tamarind sauce so watery woudnt even stay on the papadam. The masala dosa wasnt even folded up and tasted like packaged reconstituted mix. Service a disaster. the kept bringing out more dishes without removing the old plates. even the nan was not good. And the menu was absurdly TINY. . Small yellow font on a dark green/black background maybe 2 or 3 point unreadable, I gave up. Everything about this place was prefab and awful. Much better choices in Fairfield county. As they say in India Oeugh Vey.

I absolutely love this place! I make sure to order from here at least once a week. They have both vegetarian and vegan options available. Plus, parking is a breeze!

I’m not sure why this place is called the Madurai South Indian Restaurant, as Madurai is known for its rich food culture and authentic cuisine, and this restaurant has unfortunately misrepresented that. They served cold side dishes, and everything was overly sweet, including the idly. The kothu parotta was made in a way that resembled chili parotta, and the overall cooking was subpar. The masala powders tasted raw, which was quite off-putting. It wasn't just the South Indian dishes that were disappointing; the North Indian options were equally poor. I truly regret spending my weekend lunch here, and I urge the management to either change the restaurant's name or commit to serving authentic food.
