Madurai Mes

Items ordered. Chicken Biryani Combo. Chicken soup. Shezwan fried rice. Gobi manchuriyan. Every single item was spicy. We asked for mild but they were all spicy. If you are a young Indian and just arrived to USA this probably is not an issue. But if you have been living here for a while or if you are a non Indian, or if you have kids born here the default spice levels at this place are definitely not for you. Some of us enjoyed the ambur biryani. It was delicious. The chicken soup was so spicy. Even for grown ups. None of our kids didn't touch a single item after tasting them. Had to go get some chinese after coming home. Anyways.. moving on. Staff is friendly and the service was good. Restrooms could use some maintainance. Dining area and lighting is very good. Reminded me of old school movie theaters back in India. Has some uniqueness to it. End of the day food is definitely authentic. A bit way too authentic may be. Lol.

Food was amazing, although it took a while to come out it was very fresh and delicious. Chilli chicken was awesome and the Tikka Masala was one of the best although next time I'm eager to try the Kothu Parotta.One of the best Indian restaurants in Plano/Frisco

Excellent service and delicious food. Paratha and dosa are made very well. Curry Chicken was my favorite. The dipping sauces made the experience more enjoyable. My favorite was the tomato, onion, and tamarind.Madras Chilli Califlower is an excellent choice as well.

We stopped for lunch for Monday afternoon! We wanted to try their lunch thali.As soon as we stepped in, we could smell the off putting cleaning supplies smell which was very strong smell. We still decided to sit and order.Ordered Non Veg thali and Veg thali. Both came with free refills on everything except chapathi.Appetizer and curries tasted very good! We did get refill in some of the items. It is worth the price, but the smell is the only reason for removing 3 stars. Otherwise worth the price

T To start with their service is grossly incompetent & food was inedible!!!We ordered couple of soups and Naatu Kozhi Varuval (country chicken fry) as appetizers and ordered parota and chicken salan and chicken fried rice for the main course.Soups were good. In the menu it was saying "all the soups served with crunchy fried noodles" . I asked the guy who served us soups that we were missing the fried noodles on the side, he spaced out for few seconds and told me that they were out of fried noodles, when I noticed just then his colleague bringing noodles to another customer. It's fried noodles!! You fry noodles ands serve them along with some soups. Not that you buy them fried from the store!!! It's just so stupid of the guy to say we are out of noodles today but can serve a dish with noodles. He was super lazy!! I called other guy who took our order and asked for the missing fried noodles and he said he would check on it and never showed up!!! Our soups were getting cold so we ate them without fried noodles.Secondly the Naatu Kozhi Varuval was a regular chicken that was tossed with different type of spices and salt absolutely was inedible and had no flavor besides being spicy and salty. I have a high tolerance to spiciness but this was not fit to eat. Supposedly Naatu Kozhi Varuval should be dry but this was semi wet. You are using the word naatu kozhi and serving them regular chicken. It's like the menu saying we serve salmon and when ordered you receiving anchovy !!! Deceiving the customer.Parota and salan was fine. Fried rice again missing salt and had no flavor. We had to take it home to make it atleast palatable!!!The staff is definitely spaced out, you find them receiving guests and showing to the tables and taking orders and go missing. They do not check on the guests if they need anything. But you find them walking all over the place spaced out like zombies not paying attention to the guest.The guy with messy hair, girl with glasses and another guy with little beard serving food are the ones that need proper restaurant etiquette. (They were on your Saturday night shift)We had a disappointing dinner with spaced out incompetent staff and awful food!!!Never going back again or recommending it!!!

My experience at Madhurai Mess was enjoyable; it's a great spot for savoring Chennai cuisine. Although the Ambur chicken biryani I ordered had more of a pulav taste than traditional biryani, I appreciated its unique flavor. The ambiance, while not luxurious, is decent and acceptable.

Our go to order here is the mutton biryani and madras chilli chicken - never disappoints and a must try. Very quick service.

I was visiting this spot for the first time, and I m glad to find another good option to have good south Indian food in this area. I went for lunch today and tried lunch thali; I would say it was an authentic lunch. I ordered their veg thali and non-veg thali. Each thali has a roti, papad, and sweet. Veg thali served with two different curries, vegetable rice, paneer butter masala, sambar, and rasa,m with two other fries curries. Nonveg thali served with chicken curry, mutton curry, chicken fry, mutton sag, and fish curry. I would say no to the vegetarian thali, as all the items are not flavor full or delicious. I only liked the panner butter masala and rasam with their one fry curry. Nonveg thali all things are good in taste and was flavor-packed. The spice level was mild. The atmosphere and ambiance were good. The staff was helpful and attentive. Service was quick. If you are planning to have non-vegetarian food, then this place is suitable for you. Vegetarians, You would be disappointed.

Go here for authentic South Indian food ! We've become a regular!Weekend Thali is very nice, variety of items in a single dish.Attention Seafood Lovers; they just added Seafood Platter ! Try it before it's gone ! It's not on the Menu, offered temporarily as a Special, a whole pomfret grilled, a big slice of fried Sear fish, Shrimp 65 , enough to feed two with a bowl of rice

Great place for authentic South Indian food.Had Biryani Combo.. Amazing!!Jigar Thanda a must try..
