Good food but too busy 2012-05-09
Authentic South Indian food served but it is too busy for a relaxed evening night out.
Good once in a while. -

Overhyped and expensive 2011-07-28
I visited Sarvana Bhavan twice last month. The portions are small, except maybe those of rice. The main course dishes invariably disappointed me. Onion uttappam was about 5 inches in diameter and I had to search for "uttappam" within the sliced shallots. The chutneys and sambar were great, nevertheless. Rasam was ok but served in a beer mug. They expect their customers to drink it like juice/ beer?
The service is very, very rude and not prompt at all. Going there isn't worth the expense. -

Best South Indian food destination in Delhi 2010-10-02
Today I again visited my fav restaurant in Connaught Place (New Delhi)- The Sarvanna Bhavan.
The food quality was as usual superb. Rava Dosai and green chutney with this is awesome.
They serve you food on banana leaves.
This is the best South Indian food destination in Delhi and in other cities.
People wait for hours in queue outside the restaurant to eat here.
If you are in New Delhi or Chennai I recommend to go to Sarvanna Bhavan.It's an international food-chain for south Indian foods.

Simply South 2010-06-22
For as long as I can remember, I have been a fan of South Indian food. And after 23 years of my life i was taken to Saravana Bhavan by a few friends.
The place is expensive. In fact on the higher side. But they more than make up for it with the food quality. The dosas with spoonful of ghee on them is the best i have had in any restaurant (This does not include the makeshift stall dosas).
Amongst the chutneys, gunpowder chutney was so unique an amazing. The rasam is as authentically south as it can.
I have said it before and i will say it again. It's the best south India... read more -

Bournvita peda, Horlicks peda 2010-05-21
I went to Saravana Bhavan directly from the Airport along with a couple of my colleagues. This seems to have become the place of choice for lunch whenever I'm in Delhi. Anyways, after finishing up the lunch we went downstairs to their sweet shop and cash counter area to pick up a couple of bottles of water. That's when we noticed that they carry Bournvita Peda and Horlicks Peda along with a huge variety of other sweets.
Yeah, go rub your eyes and pinch your arms. This is not a dream, but serious reality. I literally grew up with Bournvita. And the stuff I grew up with has now been eternal... read more -

Rasam in a mug rocks 2010-02-26
Went there on the insistence of my colleague who heaped praises for the authentic good quality food.
Saravan Bhavan needs no introduction. I've eaten as several of their branches in India and abroad. But the unique experience for me was the Rasam in a mug. Not that it's mentioned like that on the menu. But when you order a rasam, it comes in a beer mug. I am not sure that you'll get it served similarly in their other branches.
The rest of the food was the usual udipi style south indian (my knowledge of southie food is not the greatest). I had the Coconut Rava Masala Dosa and... read more -

Good but not Great! 2009-11-03
I fulfilled my craving for south indian food here during my recent trip to Delhi. The sambhar was nice - a pleasant change from sweet watery stuff they serve in many so-called south indian restaurants in mumbai. I ordered Kara dosa, appam kurma, pongal and ghee roast. I loved the sambhar, the fresh chutnies (at 9.30 pm), polite and helpful service and reasonably good preparations. I did not like the immoderate use oil and ghee in all dishes, a lackluster menu and the relatively high price.
So my advise is - its a good place for a quick snack or if you want to satiate your urge for south... read more -

Da place to have South Indian 2009-10-02
Great food that is the bottom line. Went there for lunch and had one of the best South Indian meals.
We had the dahi vada to start with and then Masala dosa and Paneer dosa. All the items were really well prepared and you could taste the different spices and was made just right not overly spicy. They serve three chutneys with the dosa and all of them very tasty. The sambhar was good as well not the usually watery with a couple of veggies but it seemed home made. We were almost full by this time but the thali looked too good to pass on so we ordered the thali with poori and it was... read more -

Whats in a name? 2009-06-26
Frankly I don't find anything great about this place. I have been hearing of Sarvanna Bhavan for long, but it did not meet expectations. The only positive is the location. The food is very ordinary. The service is a little lax as well. I personally find Guruprasad Udupi better for the quality of food they offer.
Only reason why I give Sarvanna Bhavan 3 stars (I may even give it 5) is for their Mysore Pak. Their Mysore Pak is just lovely and there maybe other similar sweets as well, but I aven't tried then as yet. -
