BEWARE! They might not give you all the food that you have ordered for a take out. We went to dine-in and took one plate idli and roti curry. We liked the food so we took a parcel of one plate idli and single uttappam for the next morning. They packed so well that I assumed they have given everything. When I woke up in the morning and opened the parcel, I couldn't find idlis. They have packed only chutneys, sambar and uttappam. But they did charge for idlis though. Also confirmed twice from us. CHEATERS! I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

The food is good here I have been ordering home delivery for many years now but there are only two things which I have to bring to your notice one is that quantity of sambhar which they give is very less. They literally give sambar in a chutney bowl and secondly they add too much mint to the chutney which makes it taste like toothpaste. For the price they are charging they need to improve this The only good thing about this restaurant is that the sambhar tastes authentic

Message for the Owner.

I love food served here, very authentic.

Only cpl of things in which Owner should interfere,

Hygiene; I noticed none of the staff wear gloves here and tables are not cleaned well, once a customer done, the waiter just take one piece of tissue and wipe it off that's all, leaving all messy sauce scattered on the table, next time I will take the pic and post just for the reference.

In the kitchen staff of slippers and no gloves worn and the guy who serve the table does not wear the cap and walk in and put if the kitchen.which again is not good.

Thanks

Dubai's secret little place for Dosas. It's a small place so there were people waiting outside. The fact that they were waiting encouraged us. We were righr. Food is excellent if you like hot, spicy south Indian food. We had thalli, dosa, lassis and coffee and the bill came to just 70 aed. Will be going again.

Not worth the money at all. There are many other places with such a good quantity and quality for the price they hav in the menu. Ghee roast was like a plain dosa, so so thin and small, luckily didn't order the plain one. So disappointed. Please improve the quantity and varieties.

Terrible place.a man on cash counter is very horrible. Teach him how to treat with customers.
DO NOT EAT HERE!

Best Food, Good Staff, I feel bit over Priced compared to other South Indian Restaurants in Marina and JLT.

Madras ambience.authentic taste.service could be a little better (not bad, to be honest, but lacked a little something)
24 April 2023 19:09
This was one of the best masala dosa and Veda I’ve eaten… I’m so happy I found you. Potatoe curry on point. Sambar on point. I will try and visit next time instead of delivery. Best. You made my morning. Please don’t ever change.
13 April 2023 14:54
Amazing south Indian veg food. I ordered podi idly, dosa, parota, vada and dhahi vada. All had authentic flavors made with fresh ingredients. I will highly recommend this restaurant.
03 April 2023 15:46
The Mysore masala dosa is very spicy and does not taste any were close to mysore masala dosa
Very bad taste and not recommended
Generally the dosa has red or green chutney
But this had some bad spicy masala inside.

Definitely not 4+ rating restaurant.

Customer service: 3 (definitely could have improved)

Food: 3 (only 1 dosa came out good out of 3 dosa varieties ordered). Medu vada is good but curd vada was pathetic.
08 January 2023 16:42
Worst Restaurant, ordered at 9 20 AM and did not deliver until 11. When called he wants another half hour. This is repeat behaviour for a regular customer. Will never order again
29 October 2022 16:07
Very bad food. Bad behaviour of staff and worthless for the money you paying. They cheats people. Only concentrating on money making without proper customer service.
23 October 2022 12:42
An ideal small restaurant that serves tasty south indian vegetarian dishes.
The food is fresh and tasty. Dishes are priced at a very reasonable rate.
09 October 2022 13:26
Amazing breakfast place if you are looking for pure veg South Indian restaurant and filter coffee.
01 October 2022 7:06
Authentic south Indian food, very fresh and very reasonable.
South Indian songs added to the feel.
It's a place for a very humble experience not like grand ambience n all
Really too good
30 May 2022 7:21
South Indian meals and healthy fast food - the idli and medu vada was very good. Recommended for a quick bite if you're used to the taste of South Indian cuisine. It is designed like an eating house/mess, so nothing much to say about the ambience. Service; like most South Indian eateries is quick and friendly.
01 April 2022 14:09
Even though food is average. But did not like the behaviour of the manager. He keeps on asking customer to change their table whenever he sees a group of 3 to 4 people coming. This I noticed he did with a couple and also with me.
They should have some etiquette.
03 March 2022 21:13
Excellent home style south Indian food in UAE/DUBAI/JLT.

I just got back from this restaurant, and I had to write a review right away, Food was very good and amazing taste, just like home cooked food by my family members, I were craving a good south Indian food after a long time This hit the spot just right, The cooking master (i Forgotten Mr. Cook name) and Mr. Elavarasu both are amazing people and really handling the restaurant like our own home and like family members and thanks to all other staff's.
02 March 2022 19:22
Food is decent if you're looking for a vegetarian South Indian cuisine. It's close to South Indian taste if not exactly the same.

Pocket friendly.

They have a theme chatni for each day which means you'll be in for a surprise.
Try chilli idli if you like spicy+Chinese food.
13 February 2022 2:25
Amazing food - real hot n spicy rasam n sambar, well-cooked full careen chilies in m/dosa.
Everything perfect to my taste!
My first experience with MFH n the best experience. Just had to heat up the liquids to have them steaming n spicy hot - direct from the bowl - without spoon.
Well-mannered n very patient (to listen) staff, very cooperative...
Highly recommended!
03 February 2022 21:27
We tried South Indian meals… sambhar is not so rich but the side dish is nice. Parotta and Salna is really good and recommended!
30 January 2022 14:48
A small eatery but gives the madras vibes. Attentive service. We had bonda, baji, poori & aloo sabji, meals & coffee. Value for money.
Chutney & Sambar was madras restaurant style. Filter coffee was good too. Overall a hidden gem for tamil tiffin aficionados.
18 December 2021 18:42
Dosa was cold wen they served and the taste was very okay. No one give attention to people calling or asking for something. I asked for extra chutney and waited all the while which never arrived. Very average taste and bad service. Wouldn't prefer again
08 November 2021 20:34
Small place, limited menu, average taste except coffee that is great and a very warm and cordial staff. Good for breakfast for nearby residents. The food is actually fine though the chutneys are little diluted. Can try once a while
08 November 2021 9:58
Nice little place. With good food. This place offers nice selection of items for breakfast, lunch n dinner. The place keeps it simple and serves well. Definitely worth a visit.
13 October 2021 6:45
Must visit for anyone who loves good South Indian cuisine.

Excellent service with delicious authentic South Indian food that’s great value for money.

We dined at Madrasi Food House during our visit to Dubai for an event. Being a South Indian from Chennai, we were over joyed coming across this restaurant! Because, we missed our dosais, idlies and filter coffees dearly! The taste of all the dishes we had here were authentically Madras and tasted as though it was made at our homes! The staff were very friendly, particularly Mr. Nilakantan and Mr. Suresh. Would highly recommend this place if you love some good South Indian food.

P. S.: loved the Madras themed wall art!
24 September 2021 13:03
Horrible service. For a house full of customers there is onoy one person to serve the tables. Food takes more than 35 minutes to arrive. Disgrace to the hospitality of madrasis, they do not even keep water on the table and we need to ask 5+ times. Very bad experience. Hope they improve. Taste of Food was just so-so, nothing special.
24 July 2021 19:49
A delicious Dosa can do everything Better. If you are the one who loves South Indian Cuisine then I would love to advise tou to visit @madrasi.foodhouse once. A newly opened restaurant in @jltbydmcc serves Authentic South indian food. Simple Interior but their flavors are so amazing.
I tried
Mini Idli Sambhar
Plain Dosa
unlimited Thali
Idiyappam with veg Kurma
Rava Kesari
Filter Coffee
Each and every food item was very Delicious and tempting. Service was very quick and food was served piping hot. Staff was very polite.
21 July 2021 22:01
Madrasi is a nice and cozy South Indian Restaurant in JLT. They serve authentic South Indian Food. Their Dosas are delicious and easily the best in JLT. I have also had their South Indian Meal. They have a great spread and what I love the most is their service. They kept asking if I want more Curry or Rice. Giving 5 stars for Service:)
15 July 2021 15:10
Decent place. Your typical Shetty or Anna's joint from India kinda vibe. Good friendly people running this place.
Delicious food. Very Very modestly priced. An unlimited south indian thali is for only 20 dirhams. Good portions. Authentic South Indian taste. Clean - Hygienic.
Best place to eat South Indian food in JLT
14 July 2021 11:28
If you miss your homely food and want to have authentic south indian with the best ingredients, then this is your place! Firstly the staff and the ambience is so soothing! I felt I'm home and especially when you are from Kerala and love varieties of south indian food! The dosa and idli batter is made with perfection! I haven't had this kind of fresh food before. Trust me. Even the owners and the staff of this place are so welcoming and down to earth. I'm glad I stay right opposite to this place and my breakfast is mandatory from here now. Their prices are so nominal! Like starts from 8 aed. And they also have special lunch and dinner menus everyday. Just have to leave your number to them and they will update you everyday on whatsapp. It's a must of you want some comfy environment and good fresh non oily food!
08 July 2021 15:41
A Gem worth the wait in JLT. Not that JLT ever had a dearth of good restaurants but a good South Indian Vegetarian Restaurant was sorely missing after Appa Kadai appeared briefly and vanished away few years ago, but what a Joy to have one finally. A no Frills clean and modest Restaurant that serves pure wholesome & Fresh vegetarian food. Their Lunch Thali is a go to for fresh & reasonably priced food, other south Indian dishes are delicious as well Clean & Modest Interior of this restaurant is welcoming. Must Try.
05 July 2021 2:21
Finally found a place where I can get food as close to as home food. Super fresh and authentic, south Indian vegetarian food is served here. I love their thali meals and podi onion uthappam among many others. Can't skip mentioning the very friendly and warm service. They Definitely won themselves a regular customer.
01 July 2021 12:51
Very homely food, quick service with smile. Kids meal also available like Nutella dosa, cheese dosa, biscuit poori, fried rice n noodles. Awesome rose milk n milk shakes. Keep it up
25 June 2021 20:30
Delicious vegetarian food as good as a home cooked meal. The chilly parotta, channa biryani and bisibelabath is a must try! I guess this is the only restaurant in JLT, Dubai serving authentic South Indian food.
25 June 2021 18:04
The perfect place to go if you're looking for authentic South Indian food in and around JLT. The food is fresh and tastes great, the place is well maintained and hygienic, and the price point is great.
Will definitely be going back.
18 June 2021 23:05
This is too small place, and I didn't know why it's overrated? After reading the reviews went there to have coffee Honestly the coffee is bad!
Ambience is good but Please improve your service.
12 June 2021 15:32
Excellent taste, love this new restaurant, typical chennai flavor.

Try the Veg Briyani, it's good.
17 May 2021 5:11
Too good food.home style food.less oil.authentic taste.feels like u having food at the owners home.a must try.very homely feeling:) staff very friendly and serve you with love
15 May 2021 6:39
Wonderful homestyle food in an intimate setting, and probably the only restaurant in JLT offering authentic South Indian cuisine. They also have a few hidden menu items, so do check the specials they have.
06 May 2021 8:16
A ghee roast and filter coffee has become my go-to food at MFH. It feels like home-made food and doesn't leave me feeling heavy at the end of the meal.

Most importantly, they have hidden menu items which are top-notch. Their chilli parotta and fried podi idly just aced the flavours and taste. Also, follow their Instagram page to see more of these delicacies and drool.
30 March 2021 19:15
Amazing filter coffee, Ghee roast dosa was on point and the place has nice cozy vibes. Hygiene and safety well maintained
