Amma Mess is pretty near Madurai Government Museum. Do not go away without eating good omelettes, fried crabs and fried fish. Take your chance to taste great coffee. Visitors don't highly appreciate flija at this restaurant.
Food delivery is a big plus of Amma Mess. The gracious staff works hard, stays positive and makes this place great. Nice service is something that guests highlight in their comments. This place offers you food at reasonable prices. It's a pleasant place with the exotic atmosphere. But this spot is not highly estimated by Google users who provided it a below average rating.

There are some unique options for non veg here, like rabbit, pigeon, crab etc, other than typical mutton and chicken preparation. They serve a wide variety in Fish as well. But the taste of the things were not to my liking. Fish was good, pigeon fry was not so, mutton and biriyani was okayish. The veg meal was also with very limited options. Service was good though. The folks can communicate in English, and explained the various options of the preparations. Plus the server was prompt in serving multiple curries. Accepted small extra requests. Place is small and congested. It got the world's smallest toilet. And it's not a joke. Just opposite to the shop, there's some paid parking lot. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: ₹400–600 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 1

Amma Mess in Madurai is a culinary gem, celebrated for its authentic, mouthwatering non-vegetarian dishes that capture the essence of South Indian cuisine. Located on Alagar Koil Main Road, this iconic eatery is a must-visit for food lovers, offering a vibrant, homely experience with standout dishes like Mutton Biryani, Kola Urundai (mutton balls), Crab Omelette, and Ayira Meen Kuzhambu (fish curry). Diners rave about the rich, spicy flavors, with the Mutton Chukka and Pallipalayam Kozhi earning high praise for their bold, aromatic profiles. The service is lightning-fast and friendly, with staff often guiding guests through the extensive menu, creating a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Despite its modest ambiance and occasional crowds, the food’s quality and variety—ranging from bone-marrow omelettes to unique dosas—make it a standout, with many calling it a “paradise for non-veg lovers.” The restaurant’s history, rooted in a 1936 street stall by founders Manickam and Amma Thai, adds to its charm, blending tradition with innovation.
