Madras Grill: Authentic Indian Buffet Experience in Chelmsford

I highly recommend trying the dinner special veg thali here! Every item on the plate was absolutely delicious, and the portion is definitely more than sufficient for one person. What truly completed the experience was their excellent service, which was also too good!

Loved everything about the restaurant, the food and the ambiance. Just one suggestion if they can keep more of non-veg options in their buffet that would be great, had numerous options for veg in buffet. Remaining everything was excellent, the taste. Will visit again if I have a chance.

Perfect place for a big family lunch! The buffet setup makes it super easy to sample a bit of everything, which is ideal for picky eaters. The food was always hot and regularly refilled, and the atmosphere felt comfortable and relaxed. We left satisfied and happy—definitely planning to return.

Absolutely phenomenal! Every dish bursts with authentic Indian flavors, perfectly balanced spices, and fresh ingredients. The service is warm and attentive, the ambiance is inviting, and the overall experience is nothing short of exceptional. This is, without a doubt, one of the finest Indian restaurants I’ve ever visited a true gem that I can’t wait to return to.

Absolutely loved the thali here! The variety, taste, and presentation were excellent. Every dish was flavorful and felt authentic, just like a homemade Indian meal. The portions were generous, the food was fresh, and the balance of spices was perfect. Great value for money and truly satisfying. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy a traditional Indian thali!

The food here is delicious and very authentic! My partner, who is South Indian, has taken me several times and we enjoy it every time! The meals are served promptly and the servers are friendly. Those who are non-Indian like myself may struggle a bit with the spice, as even my mild curry had a tiny kick to it, but it’s nothing some raita (Greek yogurt with cucumber and cilantro, served alongside biryanis) can’t solve!! We will be back many more times.

Madras Grill is my happy place for Indian food—think crave-worthy buffet meets chill hangout spot. Their lunch spread? Insane variety: tender tandoori chicken, creamy paneer makhani, crispy dosas, and biryani so good you’ll forget your name. Vegetarians get love too—the chana masala and veggie pakoras are stars. Weekend buffets level up with regional gems like Kerala fish curry or fiery Andhra chicken. The vibe? Modern but welcoming—like eating in a friend’s trendy kitchen. Bold art, soft Bollywood tunes, and staff who treat you like family. Pro tip: Order the mango lassi (sweet, tangy perfection) and garlic naan fresh from the tandoor. They keep it fun with themed nights (Diwali feasts! Karaoke!) and label dishes for dietary needs. Spice rookies can dial down the heat, but their “medium” is a flavor ride worth taking. TL;DR: Come hungry, leave obsessed. Perfect for groups, dates, or solo carb-loading. 10/10 would trade my couch for their buffet table.

My wife and I travel the country and have eaten at many Indian restaurants; this has been one of the best. The second we walked in we were greeted by several hosts and the owner welcomed us to our table. The place was packed for their lunch buffet and the atmosphere was authentic and welcoming. The food selection is amazing with too many dishes to try to explain. We made two trips to the buffet but “ D” the manager wanted us to go one more round lol, as he showed us more of some of his favorites. This place was outstanding!!! You must try it out!!!
