⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable experience and world-class service! My mother recently visited Feast of Madras in Lisbon while visiting from Switzerland, and she hasn't stopped raving about her experience! She said the food was absolutely extraordinary, but what truly made her visit special was the incredible service from Revathi. Revathi welcomed everyone with such a warm, beautiful smile and served the food with genuine soul and care—the presentation was gorgeous! My mother mentioned it was hands-down the best service she has ever experienced at any restaurant around the world.
Lovely food, atmosphere, and a great waiter :) I had the masala dosa...EXTREMELY tasty especially when blended with the flavours of the chutneys and sambar! Highly recommend a visit!!
Authentic Tamil style food with great vegetarian options. Service was friendly.
Extraordinary south Indian food. I ordered ghee masala dosa. The taste of all the 3 chutneys and sambar was amazing. Dosa was made to perfection. Mango lassi and filter coffee were also great. A must try place if you are in the city.
We came here for a late lunch. Ordered a ghee masala and podi masala dosa. They both were amazing and tasty. The chutneys and sambhar stood out. They are better than many south indian places in Mumbai/Pune. Also highly recommend the strong filter coffee to go along with the food. The staff is very friendly and helpful with all the questions/suggestions. I highly recommend this place for an authentic south Indian experience.
Amazing food if youre looking for authentic South Indian/tamil food, and service from Revathi was amazing she was very kind and helpful. Would recommend!
The nicest paneer madras I've ever had! They had a whole section for veggie starters and mains. Me and my husband shared the cheese parottas (which were gorgeous) and he had the chefs special chicken biryiani. Everything we ate was so nice! Get the rose milk to drink! Yum!
Delicious authentic Dosas and amazing friendly service by Mrs Revathi . She was patient and kind to explain everything to us and give us great recommendations. Definitely recommend the ghee roast . And the paneer tikka .
Feast of Madras is, without a doubt, very good Indian food in Lisbon. The dosas are absolutely excellent – crispy on the outside, perfectly fluffy on the inside, and served with sambar, tomato chutney, mint chutney and coconut chutney that complement them beautifully. If you're craving authentic and genuine south Indian cuisine in Lisbon, Feast of Madras is absolutely where you need to go. 100% recommended.
We had a wonderful meal at Feast of Madras! The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The egg biryani was especially delicious—perfectly cooked, aromatic, and full of flavor. We also tried the veg thali, and every item on the plate was tasty and well prepared. We ordered other various items and loved it. It was a satisfying meal with great variety. If you’re looking for delicious South Indian food, I would definitely recommend Feast of Madras!
