" Visited with friends and had a blast! The ambiance was lively, perfect for enjoying tasty South Indian delicacies. I particularly loved their coconut chutney. While some items were slightly repetitive, overall, it was a fulfilling meal with decent service. Would recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today was my first time visiting this restaurant, and it was a great experience! The rava dosa was light and delicious, and I loved the selection of chutneys. The only downside was the slow service, especially when seeking refills. I would still recommend this place for the quality of food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service could use some improvement, but overall, the food was good. I appreciated the authenticity reflected in the sambhar and their dosa-centric menu, though the wait for food was longer than I would have liked. It's still a decent option for Indian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a good dinner here, but the service could definitely improve. The food was delicious, especially the idlis and vadas, though I found the portion of the thali to be a bit small for the price. If service improves, I can see this place thriving. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations considering the positive reviews, but I found the food average. The coconut chutney was nice, but my dosa was not crispy, and the service was a bit slow. I might give it another chance, but there are better places around. " (*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*)
