Reviews for Saravanaa Bhavan in New York, NY
For all things dosa, this place is a must go. Idli, medu vada and pav bhaji are the worst of quality when compared to the... quality of dosa served here. So use this as a sign and don't order anything else but dosa. Also rice is fantastic. I tookbisibele rice and it was delicious. Mango lassi, filter coffee are delightful. Read more
Totally worth the wait! I was craving some authentic Mysore masala dosa today and this place certainly did not disappoint. I... ordered the Mysore onion masala dosa and my husband ordered the onion chili masala dosa. both were equally delicious. However,on the downside, expect long wait times to be seated as the place does fill up fast and long wait times for food delivery. Read more
Love this place. Saravanaa never disappoints. The service is so quick. I got seated right away. They have no outdoor seating.... Lots and lots of gluten free options. It’s definitely a smaller place than most of their other locations. It’s located onLexington avenue with lots of other Indian restaurants. I went with tried and tested as I was really craving a good dosa / idliand vada Read more
By far the best South Indian food you’ll get in New York City! Friendly staff, very clean place and quick service. All the... dosas, idli, vada were delicious. I was a little disappointed with the coffee, it was not as strong as I expected it to be. Butthe waiter noticed my disappointment and Instantly offered to make a stronger version of the coffee. And for the next few dayshe remembered this and made a custom version of the coffee for me, impressed at the level of service. Read more
Authentic South Indian Food | Canteen Vibe | Slow Service The food was pretty good - in fact, it is as authentic as it gets for... South Indian food in the US. Ordered Mysore Onion Masala Dosa, Idli Vada, Poori and Filter Coffee. Perhaps only a couple oftables were occupied when I reached there. Despite that, it took nearly 20-25 minutes for them to take order. Had to request atleast 3 times for my order to be taken - each time the response was that they’re sending someone to take my order soon. Also,the tables are extremely small - tiny in fact. Read more
I tried their food in 2019 for the first time. Was absolutely in love by their authentic south Indian cuisine. One of the best... places to enjoy South Indian delicacies. In 2022 their food standards remains the same. The quality of food is great and theprice is reasonable. Highly recommended for all Indian food lovers. Staff is friendly. The quantity is more than sufficient. Read more
If you want to eat like how the locals do, how can you miss out on this place. Yes, it’s only vegetarian but probably the most... authentic South Indian flavors you can ever get. Service can get a bit iffy but that’s part of the authenticity:) Orderanything on the menu, you can’t go wrong. Some hits IMO - weekend Upma - vada sambar - milgaipodi dosa - onion rava dosa -Madras coffee Read more
I wasn't to familiar with what I was ordering so I decided to Google what I wanted so I would know what I was getting.... but... I'm pretty sure the waiter gave my order to the table next to me....I ordered the mini idly. But I decided to keep what I gotbecause everything there is tasty. But I will be more careful next time and show him a pic if I have to. Very reasonableprices..... there are 2 rooms for dining in.... both different in atmosphere.... clean bathrooms and attentive waiters..... willdefinitely be back. Read more
