Srikanth Kannan

Good for south Indian food . Not that spicy , but would still recommend specifying your spice level. Any Thali (or) 2-to-3-course-indian-meal (South or North) can easily fill one's appetite.

Ravneet Mavi

Delicious south Indian food . My favorite is combo1 - little bit of best stuff. Though you have to let go off any expectation of good service . It is un-emotional type, can be very slow on busy times.

Tobias Schmidt

The special meal will let you sample all this place has to offer fairly widely. And it does have a lot of tasty things to offer!

Santosh Nair

Great selection for the south indian palette. Wide variety from dosas , upmas to full meals. A culinary paradise for south indians . Service is sloppy sometimes, but worth the time n money.

Mohan Garadi

Kaima idli is the best here. Never miss it if you visit this place. Their filter coffee is also awesome. Their dosas are mediocre but they make good uttappams

Senthil Kumaran

The ambience is very good and service is good too. The food quality and taste is pretty good as you would expect of Saravana Bhavan. They have good south indian sweets in their shop as well .

Ashwin Kumar

No idea why it's under "North Indian restaurants " in this all. It's as South Indian as South Indian gets. Loved it! Dosas , vada sambar and the lunch Thali . ❤️

Tripti Burman

Saravana spl meal is a luxurious meal with a lot to offer. Loved it! Do try rava dosas , ghee pongal and buttermilk here. Kaima idli was a disaster though!

Amritha Prasad

Amazing freaking south Indian food . Mixed vegetable parotta rocks. The sandwich dosa isn't too bad either. Service kind of sucks though if you don't speak in Tamil.

Shweta Agarwal

Always crowded !!! But love eating out there. The one thing i hate about this place is tables are so close to each other that you can just eat off your neighbour's plate

Maithreyi Raman

super authentic food :). If you're a newbie to South Indian food (and dont mind spicy food ), try the paratta (with a side order of raita ), paper masala dosa and a mango lassi drink!

Madhu M

For a traditional South Indian meal , go with Sambar vada and an onion chili masala dosa . (For those, this place is authentic as you can get.)

Camila McHugh

Thali with chapati is a great lunch option. Love all the chickpea dishes and dosas .

Shyam R

Great customer service. We lost our fitbit near the parking lot yesterday and a gentleman from the staff had securely kept it till we called and returned.

Params Raman

Try out Saravana Special Meals to experience a truly complete south-indian lunch . Includes the delicious Vatha Kuzhambu :) Rice is however, pretty small in quantity esp if you are hungry enough!

Neha Jain

Awesome food! Delighted to eat at the pure vegetarian restaurant . Parota and filter coffee are brilliant...

Vivek Shivakumar

Tiffin items are good but wasn't impressed with their white chutney . Executive meal is so filling, go for it if you are dead hungry. Must try their Poori and aalu sabzi.

Ajay Thakur

Awesome joint for South Indian food . love mini idli, dosa and South Indian coffee .

Bhavik Shah

Medu Vada, Kaima Idly, and Uttappam here is the best you can get away from home. +1

Shravan Sunder

Totally remodeled the place. Very neat and nice. Food as always - the best.

Pradeep Nayak

Butter milk , 14pc idli, masala dosa , South Indian filter coffee .best thing ever :-)

Raina Sharma

Masala dosa & authentic sambhar will leave you with a smile on!

Swati Sinha

Don't expect customer service, my dish arrived after my husband was done with his dinner . Server gave excuse that my dosa take time, well you could start my husband dish later :)

Anirudh Mallem

Best sambar in town . Hands down.

Srikanth Nagavarapu

Typical. They are conservative when it comes to serving chutney , don't forget to ask while you order!

Pugazh Thyagarasan

My menu is always... 14 idly, onion rava , & coffee !

Aishwarya Sharma

Delhi's hangout in Bay area....the best South Indian place! Try everything on the menu..every thing tastes heavenly! :)

Guilherme Chapiewski

Channa Batura is really good and not too spicy :) And it's HUGE.

Himanshu

It's nice... I liked the sambar but I still prefer anjappar chettinad :)

Beth Schumann

The tomato soup is out of this world! And if you like spicy , you'll love kaima idly!

Bhaskar K

If u r up for spicy food , try the khaima idly - it is awesomely spicy ...

Raja Dash

Great dosas but because this place is always busy, service is getting worse. Also the amount of filling is one-third what it was 2 years ago. I'm not full from my meal.

Rohan

Dosas are sub par. Go for uthappams or sambar dishes

Alok Mehta

Awesome food! Try the Rava dosa ...

Mandar Pathak

If you can stand a little spicy food , the kaima idly here is fantastic!

Rusya T

While food is good and maybe one of the best south indian in south bay , service really sucks

edi hsu

ive had their dosas .. most are good (masala ) some not so good. They used to have pictures on their menu which made it easier to order. Today: tomato onion chilli uthappam .. yummy. Service is poor.

Params Raman

Kaima idly is great during lunch hours mostly (barring few days when they mess it up)! Ordering the same for dinner is a bad idea, they give you stale stuff..

Ash Win

You will get authentic South Indian dishes here.

Anuja Chockalingam

Food is cheap .. Revamped ambience is good but the wait time is insane..

Harsh Modi

Good South Indian food ! Global chain

My Bui

Onion Rava Masala Dosa

Prashanth Raghavan

Good south indian food . Quality is better now and so is the pricing.

Parashar Pandya

They don't serve Jain sambar . Must start that !

Bhaskar K

Kaara dosa is awesome..

Govind Kabra

Great South Indian Food , Dont forget Rava Masala Dosa

Arpana Priyadarshini

Good food but I do not find this place clean enough!

Karla Lopez

Food! Good food! Lota of food!

Radhika Bhalla

Get the Kara Dosa if you like spice. The food is amazing but the service is terrible.

Chintan Parikh

Definitely try mixed vegetable parotta (MVP)
