Madurai Kitchen - Indian restaurant in Madurai - Madurai, India

My fair opinion if your for food here - No, not recommended ( Madurai is filled with best hotels around the town and near by ) Food is not that great quality of taste . Im impressed with the desserts they had multiple varieties and all tasted unique and good Main course not of much choice than briyani and lemon rice . Nan was good but not much gravy of choice Just went for a business meeting and to review their food not an intention to fill my stomach. Ambiance and table arrangements are extra spacious and color of choice are too good and felt high. Service is good too But the madurai secret ingredient " Taste" is missing !!!!!

We had veg thali. It was so delicious. The non veg gravy of chicken and fish was not that good. The ambiance and the service was good. Morning breakfast was so good.

I have stayed at the Courtyard Madurai several times and always rated it high but this time want to specifically call out the restaurant and bar. Restaurant and bar staff are friendly, attentive, prompt and ensure all guests are taken care of and requests are met. Rahul, Santosh, Jeykar at Balcony; Albin (coffee lounge) and all the staff's at Madurai Kitchen need a call out! However I want to say a special thanks to Chef Muthamizhan and his team! For a vegetarian traveler like me who struggles to get veg starters outside, they whipped up a roasted millet kibbeh (cutlet) with spicy tomato relish and tapioca gulnar with green Goa chutney ! For breakfast, a vegetarian breakfast thali, that included some popular dishes like paniyaram, masala idly but also veg versions of dishes hard for me to get in local joints in Madurai like Salna or curry dosai (TamilNadu on a Plate) and then added a fusion touch with appam topped with spinach feta dip! Bravo !! Highly recommended! Go eat to your heart's content!

It is common knowledge that reviews are often times fudged. I realised my mistake as soon as I entered the restaurant. The smell from the sewage had filled the room. The so-called buffet worth less than half the price they charge(Rs 210) had food items which tasted not too bad but still I should admit that I was genuinely feeling sorry for myself for having trusted the false reviews about their culinary skills. PLEASE DONT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!

All staff are nice. The food is so so yummy. I need the receipt!

One of the best buffets you can experience in madurai. I went to the Goan festival, it included Soups 5 Starters Live Kitchen for grilled fish, kas omelette, mutton heart, waffles, pizza 4 varieties of refreshment drinks Biriyani (was like homemade), with gravies in mutton, crab, fish and chicken A ton of desserts which we couldn't complete at all. Every food tasted good as well. Thank you!

I personally feel that once you are being fed the finest food, your soul is at peace. Each time i am here at Madurai Kitchen, my soul is at peace and happy.

We were staying next door at ITC Fortune Pandyan (highly recommend that by the way) and thought we'd have dinner next door at Madurai Kitchen within Courtyard by Marriott. I looked at the reviews before coming and I was quite surprised that a restaurant within a Marriott would have such low ratings. I decided to enquire myself if it was actually the case. Unfortunately the reviews don't lie. It was a disaster from the very start. Walked in and was asked if I was a guest at the hotel - I said no and was told that the restaurant dining is only for hotel guests. This was a huge surprise to me given I have stayed/visited Marriott hotels before in the US, Europe and India and never seen this before and told the front desk lady. Also - the restaurant was at 30-40% capacity only and was empty for the most part! In this post covid age when hospitality sector is struggling so much can they turn paying guests away when the restaurant is not even close to being near capacity. I offered to vacate the table if the restaurant gets filled and a hotel guest comes. I also asked to speak to the manager - at this point the front desk lady clearly realised the level of poor customer service on her part and decided to give us a table. I need not have bothered. Food was bland. Not many choices for vegetarians. The vegetarian dishes weren't being replenished quickly as clearly most of the guests were vegetarian! Desserts were ok although icecream was a mush. Overall would not recommend. Quite a shame as I enjoyed the restaurant in their sister hotel in Trichy the night before.
