As you step inside, the aroma of spices fills the air, inviting you to embark on a delightful gastronomic journey.

At Saravanaa Bhavan, every meal is a celebration of South Indian cuisine. The menu features an array of dishes that are not only flavorful but also visually appealing.

I was really excited to visit Saravan again, especially since they closed in my city. It’s always such a treat! The dosa was perfectly crispy and full of flavor, and the chutney was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and of course, the filter coffee was as tasty as ever!

Saravan is always a reliable choice for amazing food. I’m already looking forward to my next visit maybe in a new city this time!

Definitely a 5/5 experience!

I love the taste. The catni , vadai all taste good. I'm willing to pay for such taste although a little expensive. The special milk tea was not ordinary chaai. So don't put high expectations on tea. I will return whenever I crave Indian vegetarian food.

The restaurant offers authentic South Indian flavours, but the prices are relatively higher compared to other South Indian restaurants in the area.

Though the service was a bit slow, the staff were friendly.  The place itself is pretty basic, and could be a bit cleaner.  Overall, I'd recommend it for a casual meal if you're craving authentic South Indian flavors, but don't expect fancy surroundings.

We visit saravana bhavan in every country we travel to. This one was amazing! Everything tasted so good. Excellent filter coffee. Tram station right in front of the restaurant, so was super easy to use public transport to get here. Kids enjoyed watching how their food was being made! Highly recommend it you are craving South Indian food

One of the worst Saravana bhavans i have visited !! They did not have the unique taste and service like the other branches worldwide.

It was not busy when we went there but still they put us in a table where there were no cutlery, i had to go take it on my own because the servers came very late.
The ghee roast that i took was thick like a dosai and the sambar and the lassi tasted very average.
And the prices were very high, the service was very slow.
The medu vadai was soft and crispy 👌 and the mushroom fried rice tasted good.
I ordered a coffee at last, but they did not even give sugar, i had to go and ask at the counter.
The prices are way too high. We had to pay around 70€ for 2 people.
