" I’d rate my dining experience at Saravana Palace as solidly good, yet not without flaws. The buffet had ups and downs – a few dishes shone through, such as the crispy dosas, while others felt a bit lackluster. It’s a bustling spot, so the loud ambiance might deter some, but if you're craving authentic vegetarian Indian food, you might overlook that. I would still recommend giving it a try!
