My friend and I tried Madras Cafe because we LOVE Sai Ram and go there often. The staff was so friendly and helpful with some dietary needs and other menu questions. When my Paneer Dosa came out I was shocked at the size, there was a lot of food and it was so yummy! We also enjoyed the drip coffee, it was sweet and very smooth.

OMG, this was so good! Authentic Southern Indian food. Of course, I had to ask what everything was on the menu and asked for recommendations. Our server was very knowledgeable and we took her recommendations and were DELIGHTED with her choices. Yum! I can’t wait to go back.

This is the best Indian food I have had in Wisconsin, PERIOD. It was so good that it brought tears to my eyes. Every bite I took was a surprise party in my mouth. I'm still in shock that food this good exists in Appleton! Absolutely incredible. Fresh, spiced to perfection. I just can't even say the right words to describe how perfect this food is.
