  “Had a really enjoyable experience at this Indian restaurant. The food was excellent, full of authentic flavours and very well prepared. The curries had a good balance of spices without being unnecessarily oily or overpowering, and the meat was tender and cooked properly. The naan was fresh, soft and served hot, and the rice was also perfectly cooked. What I particularly liked was the variety on the menu. There are plenty of options for both meat lovers and vegetarians, with many traditional Indian dishes to choose from. The portion sizes are generous and the presentation is also good. The restaurant itself has a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. Everything appeared clean and well maintained, and it is a nice place to visit with family or friends. The staff were polite, welcoming and attentive without constantly interrupting the meal. Service was efficient and we did not have to wait too long for the food. Considering the quality, quantity and overall experience, I found it to be good value for money. If you enjoy authentic Indian food with proper spices and flavours, this is definitely a place worth trying. Overall, a very satisfying experience from the food to the service and atmosphere. I would happily visit again and definitely recommend it.”

  “Saravanaa Bhavan is one of those restaurants that really speaks for itself. With locations across the world, it is clearly an incredibly popular restaurant, and having visited several times now, I can completely understand why. Every time I visit, the restaurant is busy and bustling, yet somehow they are still able to accommodate walk-ins without too much difficulty. I have been here on several occasions for both breakfast and dinner, and the quality has remained consistently excellent. For breakfast, I would highly recommend the Masala Dosa. It is packed with flavour, perfectly crisp, and makes for a fantastic way to start the day. For dinner, the Malai Kofta is another personal favourite, with beautifully flavoured and comforting sauce. Both dishes offer fantastic value for money. One thing I always order alongside my meal is the Mango Lassi, which is wonderfully fresh, creamy, and full of natural mango flavour. It is the perfect accompaniment to the food. Service is consistently attentive and efficient, even when the restaurant is at its busiest. The staff keep things moving without making the experience feel rushed, which is impressive given how popular the restaurant is. The biggest selling point, however, has to be the price. The food is consistently good, the portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. It is genuinely difficult to find this level of quality and value elsewhere. Whether you're looking for a hearty vegetarian breakfast, a filling dinner, or simply want to try some excellent South Indian food, I would highly recommend Saravanaa Bhavan. I will certainly continue coming back.”

  “We have been coming to Southall saravana bhavan for the past 8 years. The food has been always good, so much so that my kids prefer it over McDonald's and other fast food. However, that may change now, yesterday we had rotten potato served in a masala dosa 🤢 I challenged the staff and they took it off from the bill, but my kid was a little distressed that she ate rotten potato dosa”

  “I feel BAD/SAD, for rating 2 stars for food at this place in Southall.. Saravana Bhavan is considered as a BRAHMIN, PREMIUM, SUPER PROUD, SOUTH INDIAN VEGETARIAN restaurant ACROSS ALL THE CAPITAL CITIES OF SOUTH INDIA, esp Tamilnadu, Andhrapradesh & Karnataka. Idli & Dosa are the Bread&Butter of a PREMIUM SB.. my Idly was soft and fluffy but unfortunately, my ONION RAVA DOSA arrived cold, undercooked at the bottom, but crisp on top !!! ( how could you possibly get this SO HORRIBLY WRONG ?!?!?!?!?!? the two coconut chutneys were completely flavourless ( it's actually quite difficult to make them devoid of flavour !! ) I personally do not like leaving food on my plate as it signals disrespecting the chef... PLENTY OF ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT... PLEASE GUYS, YOU ARE REPRESENTING An Almost Holy South Indian Tradition...”

  “I visited Saravana Bhavan and had a very concerning experience. While eating my soup, I found what appeared to be a worm in it. I immediately brought this to the attention of the staff and management. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with the way the situation was handled and felt that my concerns were not addressed appropriately. This experience left me worried about food hygiene and quality control. I am sharing this review so that other customers are aware of what I personally experienced. I hope the restaurant investigates the issue thoroughly and takes any necessary steps to improve its food safety standards.”

  “Excellent food and wonderful service. The staffs are very friendly. I tried their tiffin combo breakfast yesterday morning and North Indian thali for today lunch with their magnificent filter coffee. Both amazing. Even after I’ve paid and at their busy hour when asked for hot water, their supervisor waitress made sure I’ve got it. Long live 🫶”

  “This place is truly disgusting in terms of the taste of food. This dosent taste anywhere close to saravana bhavan who actually has okce had a reputation of being consistent in terms of quality , hygiene and taste. This place does not have an original saravana bhavan trainers set of chefs. These guys are cowboys who mixup their own formula to bring food to your table for the dish you've ordered. It won't be anywhere close to the original taste if you have had food in one of their once nice branches in chennai. Quality is down and prices are really expensive. This has been my third visit and iam disappointed hence leaving a review instead of complaining to the manager. The manager is a nice person and the staffs are as well but the Chefs are hopeless and they dont have any enthusiasm to cater. They need to be fired and replaced. Please avoid this place if you wish to have a good time as this will definitely ruin your moods and spoil the day. Very expensive food again. I will take it up higher for sure . Ordered biryani mushroom and it was cooked like sambhar rice . Idly was ok but the sambhar and chutney was really so so which once was so good years ago , not in Southall though. Not worth it again people save your money and time. Edited as I had typos and add a few more words .”

  “Very disappointing experience at Saravanaa Bhavan – Southall branch. The customer service from a staff member named Gracy was extremely rude and unprofessional. When I asked for the menu card, she simply brought it and left it on the table without saying a word or even looking at us. The same thing happened again when she brought the beeda and later the Channa Bhatura — no eye contact, no basic courtesy, just placing the items on the table and walking away. Meanwhile, other staff members who brought some of the food were polite, so the difference in attitude was very noticeable. People come to a restaurant not only for food but also to enjoy the experience and spend a good time. Unfortunately, this behaviour completely spoiled our evening 😔 I had a similar unpleasant experience at this branch a few months ago, and I had hoped things would improve. Sadly, that was not the case. If you want to enjoy Saravanaa Bhavan, I would recommend visiting the South Harrow branch instead 👍 The customer service there is excellent ⭐ Mahalakshmi and all the other staff are very friendly, welcoming, and make you feel comfortable.”
