About this restaurant

Vegetarian-friendly
Neighbourhood gem
Romantic

We welcome you to come and experience the rich flavor or India at Madam Ji.
Madam Ji was inspired by colonial India. For over two centuries, during a time period known as Indian colonialism, waves of settlers from England, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands arrived to the subcontinent. With them, came their immense influence on the Indian culinary scene, which brought about an entirely new cuisine that would forever change India’s already well established culinary landscape. Amidst the traditional cuisines that India already offered, a new development in the culinary world came about, which is known as the “Anglo-Indian” cuisine.

At Madam Ji, we have created a menu utilizing the traditional and non-traditional ingredients to recreate dishes in hopes to allow our beloved community to socialize, dine, and drink.

The food was very bland. I wish it had more taste, especially compared to other Indian restaurants. There was a weird confusion about using the Puls'd voucher, but the waiter was nice about it.

Went with a pulsd voucher. They did not have the drinks they were supposed to. Even though there was no one else there, they rarely came by to check on us or refill our drinks.

The quality has not been consistent, ie not always as good as its beginning days. They need to upgrade the quality of the entree ingredients. Vegetarian dishes are better.

I eat a LOT of indian food. The only bad thing about this restaurant is that I live 200 miles from it, and they have better indian food than anything in my own town. I don't consider myself an expert on authentic indian food by any stretch, but I will say that this certainly seems more authentic than most and the quality was DEFINITELY top notch

I returned after a long while with positive memories of top quality food. The service was professional, surprised the place was empty on a Saturday night. The biggest letdown was the food. It was nothing special, average at best.
