" Even with its craziness of being busy, Saravanaa Bhavan delivered on the food quality. Tried out their thali, and it was fantastic; definitely recommend the ghee pongal! Service could be more attentive, but they were doing their best under pressure. Would love to visit again when it’s less crowded to enjoy it fully! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is hands down my favorite spot for South Indian food in the city! The ghee dosa was crispy, and the accompaniments were fresh and flavorful. I can’t get enough of the coffee, which reminds me of home. While the wait time can fluctuate, the food makes it all worthwhile. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to indulge in authentic South Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" My vegetarian friends love this place! So I decided to join them one night. The ambiance is lively and welcoming. I had the vada and dosas, and they were freshly made and delicious. The service was attentive after we ordered, and overall it made for a pleasant evening out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience here. The food was quite lovely but the wait time for our order was ridiculously long. After we ordered, I didn't get my kurma right away, and it was disappointing. The ambience was nice yet too crowded at the time. Decent food but needs improvement on the operational side. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a decent experience. The food was tasty and had a good variety. However, during my visit, the place was too crowded, and the service suffered as a result. The dosas were fluffy and onboard with the authentic South Indian taste. Despite the wait, I wouldn't mind coming back. " (*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*)
