" Wow! I am a huge fan of South Indian cuisine. I recently tried Saravanaa Bhavan, and it was a delight. I had the ghee pongal and idli, and both were cooked to perfection. The taste was so authentic that it transported me back to my childhood in India. The staff was friendly, but it seemed like they could have used more hands on deck, leading to some delays. Nevertheless, the food made up for it. I will definitely return to relive that culinary experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon this restaurant during a family trip, and it turned out to be a good choice! The service was friendly, albeit slow. They were busy on the Saturday night we visited. The food came out hot and fresh. The banana leaf thali was delightful. I recommend trying the filter coffee here; it's one of the best I’ve had stateside! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant really upholds the authenticity of South Indian cuisine. Our dosas were delicious, and the sambhar was perfect! Some service delays occurred, but this was offset by the friendly demeanor of the staff. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking to satiate their South Indian food cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having been to various Saravanaa Bhavans, I found this location to be slightly behind the others. The food was still good, but it did not hit the same mark. I enjoyed the ambiance, yet the service was a bit slow which was disappointing. Still, worth a visit if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Saravanaa Bhavan! The variety of vegetarian dishes is impressive. From the filter coffee to the specials, everything tastes amazing. The only downside was the noise level; it can get quite busy during weekends which detracted from the dining experience. Nonetheless, it's worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The South Indian cuisine offered here is hearty and authentic. A friend recommended the thali, and it was indeed delightful! Each dish complemented the other. My only suggestion would be to ask for more spice if you like it hot, as I thought some dishes could pack more punch. Overall, my expectations were met. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm glad I came here, but it wasn't as good as I expected. I ordered the Gobi Manchurian and dosas. The dosa was good, but the Gobi lacked flavor. The service felt a bit off; it could use some training on friendlier engagement with guests. Surely there's room for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)
