Whats in a name?
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.

Lunch deal
I lived in Chennai for two years and recently moved back to Delhi. I miss the juice shops and authentic tasty South Indian food found at every corner at dirt cheap prices in Chennai. The prices at Saravana Bhawan in Delhi comparative to Chennai kept me away until two days ago. I found myself at SB, Connaught Place, Outer Circle near Madras Coffee House during the lunch hour. I decided to go for the fixed thali with 3 poori and rice option. At Rs. 117, it turned out to be the best decision to make at SB-Delhi. The thali offers the usual rasam, sambhar, dahi, raita, chutney as well as 4-5 very tasty vegetarian concoctions. The atmosphere of a SB in any city is always busy, impersonal and matter-of-fact. I recommend Delhi-ites unfamiliar with South India to address the waiters as "anna" and drop the arrogant "treat me like a king" persona. South Indian society is far more egalitarian and waiters are not usually servile at common junta restaurants like SB or my all time favourite Murugan Idly Shop. I don't think SB is the cheapest or best place to go for the standard dosa-idly-uttapam fare in Delhi but I came away totally satisfied with the lunch deal - price, quantity and quality. If you find yourself in CP at lunch hour and want a quick, wholesome, healthy, filling meal, go to SB.

Quick and Easy
I went there expecting to wait a lot since I had heard it can get pretty busy at peak times. However I was pleasantly surprised , since the service turned out to be really quick despite the (expected) rush.
Food was above average but not extra oridnary.
Overall a good place for a nice south indian lunch :)

A great example of ''gone down the drain''.
Sad but true most of the iconic places let success go to their head, but manage to do well due to:
- Patronage
- Location
That's the story of the famous - and once my favourite SVB.
The food portions and prices are working their way in two opposite directions and no prizes for guessing what that is.
- Perhaps the only place to serve an uttapam the size of a personal pan pizza.
- The sambhar is normally cold. And when pointed out the staff, the don't even apologise. Of ocurse it is replaced... with a tepid sambhar, but by then the idlis have gone cold.
