    Last friday we went to try the new menu. As always we had amazing food and service. Definitely try the delicious prawn starters. We also liked the moong halwa. Very sweet though, but taste was great. I tried the Maharani Cocktail that's a great choice if you want to have something less sweet.

    This place has a warm vibe and the hospitality is always on point. The food is truly the best South Indian food I’ve had, and you can tell they know their food history. Ask for Dharani if you want to hear the stories behind the dishes. The space feels cozy, and it has become my favourite place to go. And when you’re there, ask Makesh to make you a cocktail. You just tell him what flavours you like and he creates something special every single time. No disappointment. If you like strawberry or pear, just say it and he’ll surprise you. I always leave feeling special and happy. Highly recommend.

    Madras Diaries in Utrecht really impressed me! We had Rose Milk and Virgin Mango Mojito made by Makesh and they were so refreshing and tasty. Dharanni, was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious we tried the Thattu Idli, Podi Bonda, Korma with Cheese Garlic Naan and Parotta. Everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. For dessert, we had Kulfi and Moong Dal Halwa, which were the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Since the restaurant is close by, I’ll definitely be back soon, especially for their Onam special. It was so nice of them to tell us about it before we left. Overall, a great place with amazing food, good ambiance and friendly service. I highly recommend it. Whenever you’re there, make sure you try Makesh’s special drinks. Mocktails or cocktails, he always makes them the best .

    Nice food but the tables are too closed to each other and feels really uncomfortable when other guests are sitting right next to my elbow.

    We came to try the Pothichoru. Having everything together was so comforting and soulfull. Amazing how from time to time there is something different to try at Madras Diaries.
