Here are notes from a 2010 meal.

A dish to try is the malai chicken tikka, which is superbly executed here; the chicken is marinaded and then cooked in the tandoor, and the end result is meltingly delicious (15/20). Tandoori salmon was delightful, three generous pieces of salmon marinated and then cooking carefully in the tandoor: the result being fish with excellent texture as well as subtle hints of spice (14/20). Aloo tikki is a Southall speciality and is made very well here: tender chickpeas, yoghurt, a vegetable pattie and a mild tamarind sauce combine to make a very enjoyable snack (13/20). 

The treatment of rice is particularly good at Madhu's, and this showed in both prawn and chicken biriani. The rice was fluffy and cooked to a pleasing texture, and lurking within are pieces of chicken or tender prawns (13/20). Aloo channa was also very good, the chickpeas tender but the new potatoes pleasingly firm and retaining their character (14/20).  Bhindi was cooked a little too long and so had that hint of greasiness that okra gets if it is cooked anything other than very quickly, very dry (12/20). Garlic naan had very good texture. Halwa and kulfi are made here rather than bought in, and are a refreshing way to end the meal. Service under restaurant manager Ajay is slicker than in many posh French restaurants.
