I don't know much about indian food so I asked the waiter to recommend. He just didnt say anything. I asked what the other table was having, he pointed in the menu so I just ordered that.
Food was ok, maybe not my taste (white rice with some side sauces and bread) but service is absent.

What an evening today at Madras Flavours, Hounslow.
They were celebrating Chutney Mela. With 25 different types of chutney and sambhar and idli varieties.
It was an experience not to be missed.
Last day tomorrow.
We also had palak paneer and tandoori roti for dinner. The palak paneer was finger licking tasty.
And of course the warm welcome and top class service from Ana and Alisha.
Service always with a smile.

Although I can’t vouch for the authenticity, I can for the quality of food, the flavours and value for money! Until I ate here, I had no clue about Tamil cuisine. I love different versions of gobi Manchurian and this one did not disappoint. Came out fast, great texture and a wonderfully fiery sauce. I love variety so ordered the Madras Thali. Roti & appalam (papad), lassi and a great selection of veggie dishes and rice pilau, then a nice dessert. Everything was full-flavoured and well executed with good spice levels right up my alley. First time with Poriyal with an unknown veggie with a texture like pumpkin but looked like brinjal or plantain. Really loved what I would call a kind of mushroom pakora, nice touch. Not expensive, lovely lady server. Tried to engage with management to ask more about this cuisine, but they seemed distracted elsewhere. I love that it opens at 10am for an early lunch. I’d love to come back and try the dosas.

Authentic South Indian flavours and great value!

We had a fantastic lunch at Madras Flavours in Reading. The food was fresh, flavourful, and truly authentic — especially the dosas and thalis. Everything tasted homemade and comforting, with just the right amount of spice.

The restaurant is clean and welcoming, with quick service and a casual atmosphere. Staff were polite and helpful in explaining the menu. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for pure vegetarian Indian food that’s both delicious and affordable.

Highly recommended for South Indian food lovers!

Good no-meat place in the town.
We order for a big group.
Food came up quick. It was nice and warm. Sambar tastes amazing. Idlis were so soft and spongy.

This restaurant initially impressed us with its Mysore Masala Dosa and Bombay Thali. The dosa was delicious, with just the right amount of spice, and the ambiance was cozy with attentive staff. However, while the Bombay Thali was decent, it didn’t fully meet expectations, feeling a bit lacking in flavor variety.

On our first visit, we found the experience excellent, but during the second visit, we noticed a slight drop in taste quality. Overall, it’s still a good spot for dosas with a welcoming atmosphere, though consistency in flavors could elevate it further.
