"An Atlanta staple for decades, Madras Mantra includes two locations in Decatur and Marietta. The menu features many iconic south Indian dishes like spicy rasam soup, the popular lentil stew sambar, and dosa and uttapam variations, all ideal for gluten-free or vegan diners. The menu also includes familiar north Indian entrees like dal palak — a spinach and lentil stew — choley masala — a stew of chickpeas — and south Indian regional fare such as the fiery hot gutti vankaya curry made with banana peppers and peanuts. Chutneys are available in takeout containers. There’s a sister restaurant, Madras Chettinaad, in Alpharetta." - Nandita Godbole, Eater Staff
