Pleasant

Polite staff, plenty of seating. The menu clearly labels which dishes are vegan and there are a lot to choose from. I had the Baigan Banana Bharta which was pretty good! I'd go again.

Absolutely fabulous!

We got an order of aloo gobi, chole bhature, onion rava masala dosai, as well as some plain roti. Everything was delicious, and presented nicely. Staff were very friendly as well! Absolutely worth a stop if you are nearby!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, and clearly marked, Good sized portions

Jackpot

Oh, man, I'm staying just up the street on business, so this place is happening two nights in a row, and I regret nothing. Gobi Manchurian, Onion-Chili dosa, samosas, bindi masala, idli, roti... The chutneys and sambar are the real deal. 😋 A significant portion, maybe more than half, of the menu is explicitly labeled 'v' for 'vegan'.

Pros: Delicious, Quick , Inexpensive

Best around!

I order from this place frequently! The food is great and the portions are very generous. Their website has all of their vegan options clearly marked, but their dine-in menu doesn’t, so make sure you bring your phone to double check. I love their dosas!

Pros: Clearly marked vegan menu (online only), Big portions!

Cons: Dine-in menu not clearly marked

Best I've had in Atlanta

I finally went to Madras Mantra in Marietta and was blown away by the food. The menu is extensive, and the portions are huge. I had the Vegetable Biriyani, which was very flavorful -- BUT it did have a few chunks of paneer, which I initially thought was tofu. The menu didn't mention it would contain cheese, so definitely ask about the dishes if you don't eat dairy.

My friend got the Masala Dosai, and I've never seen a lentil pancake as big as this one. It was twice the size of the plate, not to mention light and crispy. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Pros: Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, great prices

Cons: Surprised that my rice dish contained cheese

Hard choices

So you know how you go to places and there are only one or two options so the choice is simple? That’s not what you will experience at MM. The choices are overwhelming. Love the food and the service.

Pros: Extensive menu, Good service, Patio is nice

Cons: Hard to exit to Head South.

Good food but don't trust the hours.

You can't sit and eat if you come after an hour and a half before closing. This is not posted anywhere.

My Mantra for you is "Eat At Madras Mantra"

Madras Mantra is a great Indian restaurant with lots of delicious vegan options. The daily lunch buffet usually has at least half of the options as vegan, with such food clearly marked. When the buffet is on, you cannot order from the menu. The atmosphere is very nice. The staff is friendly and knowledgable about what is vegan vs vegetarian.

Pros: delicious and authentic indian food, buffet with lots of vegan options, indoor and outdoor seating

Cons: no vegan dessserts

So much food, so much flavor.

There were easily 30 different items on the buffet, around half marked as vegan. They included two soup options, several bread items, and many dishes as well. Tried several things I had never had before. I loved the dosas and the ivy gourd! Best Indian buffet I've ever been to with amount of options, freshness and flavor. There is some spice level (heat, and intense spice flavors) to most of the food, not tame or bland. From the Midwest, so maybe there are better Indian buffets, but definitely the best in my experience.

Pros: So many options. Super impressed., Clean and modern interior., Was able to try many new things.

Cons: No vegan desert item despite so many offered.

Decent food, great buffet price

We tried the lunch buffet today. All vegan options are clearly marked (yay!) And there are several of them, although it would be nice to have a dessert option.

Pros: Clearly marked options, Good price

Delicious authentic Indian cuisine!

Lovely, colorful and clean restaurant with patio seating. Indian food is our favourite and Madras Mantra has become our new go to for authentic Indian cuisine. The restaurant is vegetarian with lots of vegan options. The buffet is fantastic with all vegan options clearly marked as well as the gluten free options.

Pros: Lots of vegan options!, Fantastic buffet, Super friendly and attentive staff

Cons: None that we could find
