I give this a very low rating as it displays a popular name but serves ordinary food. Madurai is a name that would immediatele send salivating signals to your brain on the yummy idly - sambar -vada - pongal and all the other wonderful 'tamilnadu' breakfast. But this place not only fails to live upto expectations, but also serves substandard food. As a gang we ordered mini idly, idly, vada, uthappam and pongal. The center of south indian food is sambar and chutney. Given the simple recipes,  and decent ingredients these are dishes that cannot go wrong. But the chutney seemed like it had gone through multiple rounds of cost cutting, It was tasteless. Sambar was oily and watery. The batter used in idly, dosa had only rice and no urad dhal.  Pongal is a 1:1 proportion of rice and dhal, but here they probably used 4:1. 
I Hope it was just a bad day for the cook, but it left such a bad taste, will need an elephant to drag me again into this joint again
