Authentic Indian ingredients mixed with a variety of spices and herbs heighten the senses of local customers at this vegeterian eatery.

Worth a drive from anywhere
by spaghettiwestern at Citysearch
This is the best Indian food in the city. In fact, I seek out Indian restaurants in most cities I visit (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland), and none of them ever compare to MGR, in my opinion. It's that good. I drive 30 minutes to eat here at least 3 times a month. The lunch buffet is an unbelievable deal, usually featuring three entree type options, two to three soups, bread, salad, chutneys and dessert. All are fresh, hot and as good as they would be if you ordered them off the menu. At dinner, the thali plates and dosai are great choices...especially the coconut dosa. The flavors are exquisite, with enough spice and heat but not too much to ruin the balance of any of the dishes. Every detail of the food, down to the lemon/carrot pickle they serve, is better than I've had anywhere. It's family owned, and they really seem dedicated to what they are doing. Go!
- Pros: lunch buffet, dosai, the flavors!!
- Cons: location off the beaten path

Don't Be Fooled, This is the BEST Indian Food in Atlanta
by reallyacustomer at Citysearch
I went to this site to confirm the address and happened to see a negative review so I looked closer. Beware, there are competing Indian restaurants who are posting bogus reviews. My wife and I frequented the owner's previous restaurant and when they moved we moved too. It's a little bit of a drive for us but well worth the effort. Family owned and operated by some of the nicest people you will ever meet and the food is great. My wife, a life long vegetarian (no meat of any kind for 30+ years), has tried every Indian restaurant in the metro Atlanta area and says this is by far her favorite restaurant. I'm a white male who grew up farming in South Georgia (I eat most anything, except liver) and this is also my favorite restaurant. During the time Ram and his father were transitioning to their new location we "shopped around" and nada, nothing came close. Do yourself a favor and go see for yourself. YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID. Finally, let me conclude by saying that I've never reviewed anything before now. I can't say that someone won't have a bad day but if you read anything about "unfriendly" or "bad service" then be suspect, those sentiments just don't reflect anything we've encountered (or seen) in the five years we have been customers. Happy trails.
- Pros: read my review
- Cons: none

The advertised 7 feet dosa is a hoax
by swapurvs at Citysearch
We went to this restaurant tonight. The whole experience was terrible. We had to wait for 30 minutes before we were served with water. Food took another 20 minutes to arrive. We drove 40 miles to have the 7 feet dosa which they advertise frequently but were told that they cannot make it since it was a weekend. The food was mediocre at best. Service was appalling. I will never go back there nor recommend the restaurant to anyone else. When we wanted to request to the manager that we drove for an hour with kids o have their signature 7 feet dosa here, he refused to talk to us.
- Pros: Nothing that I was really happy about
- Cons: Deceptive advertising, poor customer service, long waiting for food and order
