" Tried their special dosa and filter coffee! The dosa was delicious and the coffee was rich and flavorful. However, felt that the portion sizes could be a bit more generous. Overall, a good experience but a little on the pricey side. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance is homey and welcoming, making it a lovely place to enjoy a meal. I particularly enjoyed the filter coffee and the banana sheera. However, my dosa was slightly overcooked, which was disappointing but not a dealbreaker. Overall, I had a pleasant visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was quite disappointing. The dosas were cold when served and definitely not what I expected from a restaurant of this reputation. The only saving grace was a warm welcome from the staff, but that wasn't enough to redeem the meal. Not sure I'll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Surprisingly disappointing experience. The food was lukewarm and lacked flavor compared to what I've had before. I was excited about the filter coffee but it appeared to be mediocre as well. Service was friendly, but the kitchen couldn't keep up with the demand. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to several South Indian restaurants, and Saravanaa Bhavan stands out in terms of authenticity. The ghee roast dosa was crispy and flavorful, and the coconut chutney paired perfectly with it. I also appreciated the attentive service and vibrant atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best dosas in town! Saravanaa Bhavan nails the authenticity of South Indian cuisine. The ambiance feels just right for an enjoyable meal. Where they need to step up, however, is in service speed—it tends to lag during busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely meal here recently! The food reminded me of home—especially the filter coffee, which was spot on! The place was crowded, but the service was reasonably quick. For sure, this will become one of my regular spots! " (*Curated Review*)
