This place was really nice and had a bakery and a desert bar built in. The restaurant was very fancy and the food was very good. However, the peri peri chicken pizza was very cheesy and needed more chicken to be a good pizza. The fries were lovely and the Oreo chocolate shake was very tasty. Even Phil himself came to take a photo with me and my family!

Quality of food and service is just worth waiting for in the simple ambience of the restaurant. Located away from the hustle hustle of the main city roads. Take away a are well organised. Pizzas and pastas are just great from quality of ingredients to consistency.

We have had pizza in Italy and many other countries but surprisingly coming to Madurai and Phil’s bistro and we had the best pizza ever. We have also had other dishes here and everything have been very delicious. The staff is extremely service minded and friendly. We will for sure come back next time we visit Madurai.

Had a really bad experience today. We have been regular visitors to the restaurant. 1. Harissa cottage cheese was very bad. Upon giving the feedback, the waiter already knew that Paneer was too bad & just acknowledged. 2. Order was way too late. Ordered a Pizza & missed the order & significantly came to table late 3. Asked the waiter to pass the feedback to the chef & he ignored it completely & never received any acknowledgement of this.

Wanted a break from Indian food. The meal was good and the staff really super adorable. I forgot my hat and glasses there, and since the talkative waiter had asked at which hotel we were staying, my belongings were returned to me without me even asking. When I realized I'd forgotten my stuff in the morning, the hotel staff returned it and explained what had happened.

The food was absolutely delicious and so well presented. Phil interacts with the guests, so we got exactly what we wanted. It was so good that we ate there on consecutive days and consistently great. Phil needs to expand to other cities. Best western cuisine in the South

Nice change from the typical Indian cuisine. Pasta was excellent. Service was top notch. The server Seshan, gave suggestions for less touristy attractions. He was very friendly and very helpful. The venues was very nice. Great place for an excellent meal!

Outstanding service and food. We really enjoyed sharing starters of crispy fried garlic lamb strips, creamy cheese bruschetta with mushrooms, a prawn and chicken mushroom risotto and an ice cream sundae and a cappuccino and espresso tart All cooked and presented to perfection. Would highly recommend.

The pasta is perfect, as it should be, a la dente, we say. Big portions and nice quality. The location off the restaurant is for most taxi and rikshaw drivers hard to find.

Food is tasty. A dish would cost between 400 to 500. But the service is very poor. They do not care if you have been properly attended. I was a regular customer until today. I have been highly disappointed by the service which was provided to me today. The server placed Lasagna direct from the oven. It was so hot that it could have burnt my skin. I asked him to call the chef, but he refused. I told him that he could have at least cooled down the plate before serving. He simply told that they would serve that Lasagna in that manner only to all their guests. I had not even touched the food. I got irritated by his reply, just paid him a round sum for my soup and I even paid for another item which I had ordered but not received and started leaving. He cared the least, he got the money and left for the next table. If you are concerned only about the quality of food and not the cost or service, Phil's bistro might be your place.

We threw a lunch birthday party and had a guest list of 28 people. The hall could accommodate everyone comfortably. The pre-ordered veg and non veg buffet was served hot and on-time. It consisted starters such as sweet corn soup, corn cheese balls, crispy chicken and tomato olive crostini. The main course included Creamy pasta with corn, Arabita with chicken pasta, Pizza - veg & non veg, Garlic rice, Chicken pepper steak and Deviled veg. I'd highly recommend the 3 cheese layered pizza, tomato olive crostini and risotto. The service of the staff was impeccable. The lively ambience of the place during Christmas season is definitely a bonus! In Madurai, Phil's Bistro is definitely a good choice for fine dining with friends and family.

The staff is really helpful and friendly. The food is amazing and tasteful. I recommend this place! It is a little bit outside the center of Madurai, but that's no problem. A tuktuk is easy to find and it's worth the money.
