Reviews for Saravanaa Bhavan in Scarborough, ON

I went there just to do a take out. I ordered a masala dosai. Place was just starting to fill up for the dinner dining. Lots of... friendly staff. The girl at the counter called me "SIR" and was really warm and friendly she had a nice smile on her and theother staff was just the same they were all full of smiles?? Read more

We dined here on recommendation by my friends from South India. It was a pleasant dining experience and we were able to take in... some of the cuisine and culture. Our group was able to sample a good variety of food on offer. We started with some Medhu Vada($7.99) then sampled a lot of different dosas. I ordered Channa Batura ($12.25) for myself just to try out something differentother than dosas. For beverage, we had some Special Masala Chai and Madras Coffee. We ended the meal by ordering something sweetsuch as the Payasam ($5.49) and Kulfi ($5.99). Between all that we were able to sample, it was an amazing dining experience. Wewere able to gain good exposure to South Indian and vegetarian food. I like how the place's setting was designed and laid out.It was clean and very spacious. The menu was laminated and dish descriptions are also printed. I also appreciate how there arewash stations available outside so one need not go inside the male and female restrooms to clean up. A small issue I have wasthe very long wait times before the food were served. I do understand that this can possibly be attributed to the food beingprepared fresh or due to the business of the restaurant during the time, but I can't say for sure. Read more

Key place for lovers of vegetarian and South Indian cuisine. The dosas are crispy, light, with an overwhelming amount of options... for filling. All for a very reasonable price. The buffet is a great option as well, but come on off hours as it gets quite busy. Read more

All the food items that we ordered were pricey and the quantity wasn’t sufficient to end our hunger , so we had to order the... same thing twice . It would’ve been much better if these guys reduced the price of their food item . Keeping that aside thisspace could fit in a medium crowd and has sufficient parking space . Even the restrooms were very hygienic . The staffs wereproperly groomed too . Filter coffee lacked the Indian taste and quality. Ghee paper dosa and Masala dosa was okayish. Puriwasn’t up to the mark. Even the Channa Masala didn’t taste well. We ordered Channa Masala separately and still the quantitywas too low for the price they charge , I have attached the phot so you can see the quantity too . But the vada’s did a prettygood job.

A must-visit place for south Indian food lovers. The buffet is worth the money. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious.... Extra star for keeping it sweet and simple buffet items. Extra points for the ambiance. The restaurant has big windows whichmake it well lit. Negative points for service - the dosa, puri, and roti items are served table. The service is kinda slow, hadto request multiple times for servers to stop by our table. Read more

My second time visiting here. Nice authentic south Indian food. The coconut chutney and Sambhar brought back home memories. Ask... for what’s available depending on when you are arriving for a meal as not all the menu item may be available at the time. Thenew staff are very friendly. Would surely come back! Read more

It was a really good experience with both food and service, even on the weekdays it is very crowded especially around dinner... time.Unfortunately they do not accept phone reservations so walk in only. The food quality was really good and for the quantityi can say that it was a little less than i was expecting. The service was quick and the staff was very polite.????????????????For the food and service Read more

South Indian Vegetarian Restaurant. I didn’t realize it is a huge international chain. This is the second time I am going - it... has been some years. The place is nice, updated decor. Clean and spacious. Food is prepared fresh - a little wait but worth it.Food is rich, flavourful and tasty. Will definitely visit again. They offer a buffet service as well. Read more
