Very delightful, authentic and traditional South Indian food ( Madurai’s taste/Aroma ). I and my family truly enjoyed. I highly recommended this restaurant.

First time tried their idiyappam with salna. Accompanying the idiyappam was the star of the show - the Salna. A rich and aromatic curry that showcased a symphony of spices and flavors, the Salna was a true testament to the chef's expertise and dedication to traditional recipes. The depth of flavors in the Salna was unparalleled, with each bite revealing a harmonious blend of spices that danced on my palate. The marriage of the soft idiyappam and the flavorful Salna was a match made in culinary heaven. The idiyappam served as the perfect canvas to soak up the robust flavors of the Salna, creating a delightful explosion of taste with every bite. The interplay of textures and tastes was a true delight to experience, leaving me craving for more with each forkful. As usual their signature chicken & mutton Vazhailai parotto and chicken 65 was ultimate.You guys are bringing in the real Taste of Madurai samayal..

We always love doing a takeout from Madurai samayal as it tastes like homemade food and takes you back to your childhood days. Must try their parotta-salna, chicken Biriyani, Vazhaiizhai chicken parotta, pepper chicken, chicken 65 and jigardhanda.

The food from Madurai Samayal was simply outstanding! The chicken biryani was a flavorful masterpiece, with each grain of rice perfectly infused with aromatic spices. The kizhi parotta, enveloped in a tantalizing blend of spices and gravy, offered a unique and indulgent experience. Its soft, layered texture soaked in the rich flavors, providing a comforting and satisfying bite, while the chicken 65 offered a burst of spicy goodness with its crispy exterior and juicy interior. Lastly, the chicken kola urundai was a savory delight, with each bite bursting with the authentic flavors of Madurai. Overall, each dish was a true culinary delight that left me craving for more!

Chicken kizhi parotta is very good. Parotta and Saalna is nice. Mutton kizhi parotta is ok because of the mutton quality. Good for small group dine in. Take out is recommended. You have to well in advance to get the chicken kizhi parotta. The Dine in place is modified recently. No restrooms available for customers

Ordered parota with non-veg Salna and mutton chukka varuval..The parota and salna tasted good.The non-veg salna consistency is great.The mutton chukka varuval tasted delicious with rich pepper flavours( spicy and yum).The quantity of the salna and the mutton varuval is really good and worth the price. Only takeout options available .Do preorder to pickup for takeout.

Unfortunately having to review this restaurant without eating their food in absolute frustration. As per Google, their timings are until 8pm on a Sunday and theyve closed at 5pm and left. I just drove 45kms to specifically visit them and theyve just closed and left. Super unprofessional.

Food Poisoning - I was a regular customer of this restaurant for the past 6 months because of the taste. But I had a horrible experience two days back. I got a Killi parota for dinner on Thursday and got food poisoning the next day. The whole weekend was spoiled because of this. I know most of the cooking happens in the afternoon in the restaurant but why would you sell stale food. To save $30 of revenue your restaurant lost a regular customer and a lifetime of earning. Concentrate on the quality of the food and dont sell stale stuff.

Coming from south India, I am Parota lover and this is my fav place so far for Parota and Salna in and around GTA. I have tried many places and only this place comes very close to tamilnadu taste. Their Briyani is very good too. Definitely would recommend. They sell fast so I would suggest you to order during the daytime and not take chances in the evening.

I would strongly recommend this restaurant for the genuine Indian specie taste. Especially the Biriyani in Madurai style is the perfect choice for the Biriyani lovers like me . Go to go and hoping for more dishes soon.

The food is fantastic. I have tried parotta with Salma, mutton chukka and chicken 65. Authentic Tamil Nadu taste. But one problem I have with them is that, they close way early than they are supposed to close almost every time I try to order. I normally order through Uber eats. Please change the timing or fix it. Thank you.

Great authentic food from Tamil Nadu (INDIA) Chicken Biriyani is good and non-veg gravy is a never-miss here. Loved it. Been close to 3 yrs.. Buying from them.. Put the review yesterday and had to update it today again, was tempted to buy mutton chukka.. Im a big fan of Mutton Chukka from here, a Must here. The best I have had overseas after Tamil Nadu in years is authentic, very flavored, and the quantity

Authentic parotta and flavourfull non-veg salan makes it a delicious combo. We tried Parota in many other places but wasn t happy. Now we drive 40 mins to get take away from Maduri samayal, that s how much we like it! Mutton chukka varuval is also our favourite. Food

February 21, 2024

I would suggest my friends to go to another Indian or Sri Lankan restaurant and pay very less for Parotta and gravy. The owner / operator will switch off Uber eats when ever he wants and say no Parotta. This is not the way to run a restaurant business.

We had a horrible experience today. We pre-ordered for 1 chicken biryani and 1 mutton Briyani. But when we went to pick up the food they said it is over and some one took the order in our name. My kid was hungry and they destroyed our whole Sunday lunch plan.. We will never ever visit your shop again. They did not even regret for their mistake.

They serve tasty food but the quantiy what you get for the price they charge is very less and disappointing. Ordered the chicken vazha ellai porotta which When opened you are disappointed to find two porotta soaked in little bit of gravy and two or three tiny pieces of shredded chicken . We ordered two sets and both hardly had any chicken pieces . Charged $30 for 4 porotta and little bit of gravy just wrapped in banana leaf . Would rather buy the porotta and non veg salna for half the price . The chicken fry tasted good with the right marination and crispiness but again the qty was very less compared to what you get from other stores for the same price Their mutton chukka tasted like eating pressure cookered tiny mutton pieces boiled in a watery spicy masala gravy with no flavour .

December 21, 2023

Went at 12:30 PM to order parotta. They said we have to buy partotto in combo. Two partotto and Salna (gravy) for $7 (plus tax). No choice to buy few partotto and Salna separately. After reading the reviews about the quantity, we decided not to buy combo as the price is just ripping off. So, this place is only for rich people who are ready to spend $7 + tax for just two partotto. I would suggest my friends to go to another Indian or Sri Lankan restaurant and pay very less for partotto and Salna/ gravy.

We tried Parotta combo which came with Saalna. Though price is bit expensive for two parottas and Salna,($7 + tax), food tasted really good and fresh. Quantity of one combo is enough for one person only. You can order extra parrota with the combo. Very busy take away restaurant, so need to order well before, but food was ready on time. Atmosphere is not convincing and looks messy and very outdated. Overall my experience is good and I will try more and recommend to others ( I had a review for this place earlier and deleted that one and added this)
