Madras Grill - Chelmsford

Authentic South Indian food is hard to find. Over decades, I have tried restaurants specializing in southern dishes in Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York. Hammersmith London as well as Ashland, Framingham, Cambridge, Shrewsbury and Lowell. Have found some good places, but my favorites are no longer in business. Madras Grill in Chelmsford is the real deal. Excellent authentic food. Highly recommend the special rava masala dosa. Prepared with bits of onion and other seasonings incorporated into the crisp dosa. Texture and flavor were perfect. Containers filled with tasty sambar and other sauces. The potato mixture was served in a separate dish instead of being stuffed in the dosa. This kept the dosa from getting soggy. This was the best disa I have ever had. The idli vada included three large steamed lentil-rice cakes with perfect texture. Served with sambar and two other sauces. The food was excellent, the portions were large, the prices were reasonable and the service was cordial and efficient. The waiter warned me that the food would take some time to prepare. Well worth the wait. It was cooked to order and not sitting under
