It is rare, close to never, that I will visit a desi restaurant twice in one week - Madurai Kitchen has somehow managed to draw me back within the week. It's not somehow, actually, I know exactly how. From their absolutely delicious food, to their prompt and sweet service, to the ambiance - everything at Madurai Kitchen is top notch.Let's start with the food. These are the things I've tried in my two visits:The Veg Thaali - I mention this first because this is the item that we specifically came back for. It's very rare that EVERY item of a Thaali is delicious, and this Thaali happens to manage it! From the Kathrikai (eggplant) to the Rasam (omg, the tart goodness is to die for!) to the Veg Kuruma, each item is scrumptious and finger licking! We had Halwa one day and Payasam the next time and both desserts were delicious! The Thaali comes with chapaati which was delicious but the next time we ordered the Thaali with Parotta, just because it was so good...Which brings me to the Parotta: the Parotta is a layered, flaky bread that is so good it can literally be eaten on its own. Its flaky layers pair well with any curry, but this would be great dipped in just milk or tea. We kept ordering additional pieces of Parotta because it was just too good! Parotta/Chicken Chukka/Chicken Salna Combo: we already know the Parotta is amazing, however, the chicken chukka was exceptional. Spicy, flavorful with subtle notes of curry leaves. The chicken salna is very comforting and feels like it's made by a Nani or Dadi in a home kitchen. Mutton Chukka - we ordered this on the second visit, since we loved the chicken chukka so much. This was, again, exceptional. The meat is just melt in your mouth, and succulent, and incredibly flavorful and spicy! Andhra Goat Curry - the goat curry is delicious, but not my favorite.Prawn Masala - this was also more tomato based than I like, but the prawns were cooked well and not rubbery. Pretty darn good, especially paired with warm white rice! MK Special Tiffin - the idli was perfect, not overly spongy, and not overly dense. The sambar was delicious. The medhu vada was the STAR, along with the DOSA. The dosa was incredibly crisp and fermented perfectly. The Ghee Pongal was buttery and delicious. Lastly, the star of the show, the Lime Soda (Salt) - this beverage can be made seeet or salt or even with added masala! We went for the salty version of this, and my God, this was a flavor explosion! I ordered it the first time, then the second, and then one to go! Yeah, it's THAT tangy, tart, citrus-y, and and refreshing! Now to come to the ambiance and service. The first time we went there were a few people in there, but when we went Friday night, it was PACKED! Absolutely packed! Clearly the news of excellent food and service have reached far and wide - the power of word of mouth! The servers are young girls running around and doing their absolute best - from explaining the menu items to getting the items to the tables in a timely manner.Our server, the first time, was Liya who patiently answered all our questions and made great suggestions. She was clearly very adept at her job, and very accommodating. The next time we had Meghna, and I tell you this girl (and Liya) were just powering through the entire restaurant and ensuring everyone got their food on time. Both girls were exceptionally sweet, soft spoken, courteous and polite. I definitely had to send a shout out to both of them!

We were craving some authentic South Indian food and when I saw Madhurai Kitchen on my IG feed, I knew I had to try it! It's such a cute spot with such beautiful decor inside! They use traditional steel plates and utensils for serving and eating, which is unlike most Indian restaurants I've been to! The service was super fast and we were in and out in less than an hour! We ended up getting vegetable korma with porotha, Vada, and podi idli. You guys, everything was absolutely delicious and tasted like I was sitting at a restaurant in India! The Vada and Idli were perfectly cooked and the side of sambar and coconut chutney paired so perfectly with both. The vegetable korma and porotha was so yummy! The korma was spicy and had a coconut taste and the porotha was so crispy and chewy yet soft at the same time! The flavor is truly unbeatable, I don't think I've tasted better South Indian food anywhere compared to this place! I will say that the portion sizes are a bit small for the prices that you pay, but again - the food is unreal and I would still come back if I was craving South Indian food! 10/10 highly recommend!

Tried this place over dinner with my husband. We started with Lime Soda and Coke. For appetizers, we had Madurai Chicken 65. Then we ordered Combo plate of Vada, Idli, Ghee Pongal and Masala Dosa. My husband tried the Goat Biryani. The food was delicious and flavorful with being spicy. Our server Meghna was super sweet, warm and attentive. The ambiance is great with all the modern furniture and decor. The place is super clean as well.There is plenty of parking outside the restaurant. I would definitely recommend this place! MUST TRY!! Overall 4.5 Stars

We thought we would try a new place today for lunch. Madurai has a very large menu, although it needs some adjustments. Some of the items on the menu are only available on the weekends, and others offer a choice of how hot you would like the spice, but it only comes one way. We ordered a fee entrees and appetizers, and they all came out at different times. It was a very odd pace. The samosa was very good, and I loved the chutney. Two of us ordered mango drinks. When our third arrived late, she ordered one as well, but they "ran out." The Gobi 65 was also delicious. We also tried the Veg korma,Bathura ,Paratha, and cheese Dosa . All were very tasty. The Paneer tikki skewers came out last. They did not look like the pictures. They were not on a skewer. They did not come with the chili mayo dipping sauce. I asked for the sauce, and it was "out of stock ". Our server was very nice, but did not clear dishes as needed or bring any extra napkins. The whole lunch seemed very disheveled, as we were waiting over an hour for our last two dishes, the paneer and chicken tandoori to arrive. I would give more stars to the actual flavor of the food, but having to ask for the sides and the eternal wait for every dish kind of ruined the experience. I will give them another try in a few months after they have some time to get their act together. Apparently, they have a buffet on the weekends also!

Food was good and service was quick. Place was packed with lunch guests. Wedding style chicken biryani was good. I prefer more mild dishes and this had medium spice however it was great flavor. Also had the butter naan which was delicious and fresh.

I visited the restaurant in Warrenville today for dinner with few friends.. the food was horrible, the Gobi appetizer dish was soggy and tasteless, the vegetable korma was watery as soup, teh talpakattu biryanis was the worst I tasted, teh mutton was boiled , over cooked and added to the rice, which was smelling raw.. overall had a bad experiance. Will not recommend this horrible place.

This is the place I would go for spicy South Indian dishes. This reminds me more of India and how I used to go to restaurants in India (the smell, the taste, and desi people gathered around), WOLLA! Getting fresh and hot-hot appetizers right away. I loved the Tamil Nadu goat biriyani and that is something I always get every time I come here. For drinks- I get nanniri (jeera drink) with sprite instead of water. Overall, every food item is delicious and I will go back for new menu.

MADURAI KITCHEN WARRENVILLE -Yesterday on August 14th I ordered Biriyani from Madurai's kitchen. The taste was horrible, they gave us old Biriyani. Rice was not well cooked chicken was stale the gravy was spoilt. I had a belief that it was new restaurant and the taste would be better, I was totally disappointed. Thought of calling them I don't think they would care for the feedback. Giving heads-up do not order from this restaurant at all especially on weekdays! HORRIBLE BIRIYANI HORRIBLE GRAVY
