Great food... Specializing in the cuisine of southern India, Madras Pavilion is most notable for two things: a bountiful vegetarian lunch buffet and, among items on that buffet, the unique dosai, a rice and lentil crêpe with your choice of filling. The buffet with more than 20 offerings is so richly flavored and varied that even meat-eaters will find it satisfying. Savory curries, tender okra, tamarind rice and onion chutney are a few of the items offered. Another south Indian specialty worth trying is the pizzalike vegetable uthappam, spicy and covered in onions, peas, carrots, tomatoes and chilies. Though the buffet is the real drawing card, evening meals from the menu are worthy, too. If you dine with a group, order the family-size dosai, almost 4 feet long; it will span the length of the table, a real food event. The service is friendly and attentive, with your water glass never allowed to get empty, and that's good as you sample so many spicy, exotic flavors.

A great buffet A great buffet is fast and well-priced for a weekday lunch. A dosa (amazing flatbread stuffed with potato-based filling) is included with the meal - order regular or spicy versions from your waiter. Even avid meat-eaters enjoy this veggie restaurant. All your favorites, like saag paneer, eggplant, and lentil dishes are on the buffet, plus some delicious things you may not have tried before. Fruit salad is always lovely for dessert.

Food was amazing! We went with a group of six people, only one of whom was a vegetarian. I was extremely skeptical but the food was amazing! The waitstaff was very patient and friendly, and even though they don't serve alcohol in the restaraunt, they let us bring in a bottle of wine to drink with dinner. I would definitely eat there again, but not without someone who knows their way around the menu. Allwinraj - Houston |

I'll definitely come back It was my first time eating this kind of Indian food. I got Madras pavilion special (I think that was the name of the dish), and I had a quite interesting dining experience. Overall, flavor was good but I kinda got tired of taste toward the end. I wish it had little more variety. It might take me a while to get used to those flavors and style, but I'll definitely come back to try out different dishes. An - Austin |

Food is good I am not Indian, so I cannot vouch for the authenticity of Madras Pavillion. What I *have* noticed; however, is how many Indian people are eating there every time I go. As my parents used to say- if you're looking for the good Chinese restaurant, watch where all the Chinese restuarant owners go to eat after they've closed up shop. Madras is delicious, the portions are huge, and the prices are very reasonable. The food they serve is very different from other Indian restaurants in town- especially the huge, beautiful Dosai. I highly recommend the puffy bread instead of the usual Naan. It is unique and the texture and flavor are wonderful. I am not a vegetarian, but I go to Madras more than any other Indian restaurant simply because the food is good Amorphous - Houston |

I recommend Indian restaurants in the Hillcroft
area I am Indian, but I eat meat. Madras Pavilion is a restaurant which I would frequent only if I were a vegetarian. The food is sub-par, and the staff is stand-offish. Some picks on the menu are decent, but you can find the same if not better elsewhere for a lower price. Madras Pavilion is overrated as a good Indian restaurant, the food on the buffet is a sad excuse for Indian cuisine. I recommend Indian restaurants in the Hillcroft area over this. Neel - Houston |

This is very high-quality food I have been eating at this vegetarian restaurant since it opened. I congratulate them on their expansion to Austin and Dallas (and now, evidently, Sugarland). I love the Dosai and the samosas. Recently, I have been spending more time at Udupi Cafe, but I had a fantastic meal last night. This is very high-quality food. Piediraalan - Sugar Land |

Comfortable place to enjoy The clean, simple dining room perfumed with incense is a comfortable place to enjoy mild veggie concoctions cooked in surprising and inventive combinations. Some items will be familiar to Indian food fans, like vegetable samosas or the mulligatawny soup. Among the more exotic choices are dosai (vegetable-stuffed crepes) and uthappam Caroline - Richardson Tx. |
