Madras Restaurant Lusaka Menu May 2026

Lusaka loves Indo-Chinese food, and Madras does it justice. Cauliflower florets are battered in cornflour, deep-fried until crispy, then wok-tossed in a sweet, sour, and spicy soy-chili sauce. It is sticky, messy, and utterly addictive.

Whether you are a spice veteran or a curious first-timer, the menu at Madras Restaurant offers a passport to one of the world’s great cuisines, right in the heart of Lusaka. Note: Menus and prices are subject to change. Always confirm with the restaurant directly regarding daily specials and spice levels. madras restaurant lusaka menu

No article about Madras Lusaka is complete without mentioning Chicken 65. The origins of the name are disputed (was it invented in 1965? Does it use 65 chilies?), but the result here is undisputed. Boneless chicken is marinated in ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, a hint of yogurt, and a secret blend of spices, then deep-fried until dry, dark red, and crunchy. It is served with fresh curry leaves and sliced onions. Warning: The "medium" here is most restaurant’s "hot." Order the "mild" if you are a first-timer.
