Madras Café

Madras Café cooks South Indian in the Bernardo Shopping Center behind the McDonald's on El Camino, and it opens at 8:30 in the morning and serves until 10 at night, seven days.

Why go

The founders started with the idea in Chennai and brought it to Sunnyvale: a restaurant serving quality South Indian food at affordable prices, in their own words.1 The room runs about 2,000 square feet at the El Camino Real and Bernardo Avenue corner.1 Nobody with a byline has written about the cooking, so I have no dish to point you at.

Good to know

  • Hours: 8:30am to 10pm, every day. That is the venue's own published line, last updated on a page whose copyright stops in 2018, so call 408-737-2323 before a long drive.1

Verdict

listed — Madras Café cooks South Indian in the Bernardo Shopping Center behind the McDonald's, and it opens at 8:30 in the morning and serves until 10 at night, seven days. The founders say the idea came from Chennai first and they brought it here. That is the whole published record: no critic has written about the cooking, so there is nothing to rank and the rung says so.
