Saravana Bhavan - South Indian restaurant in New Delhi - New Delhi, India

The last time I visited this place was almost 5 years ago. Luckily we didn't have to wait as long to get inside this time, and we were quickly served with water and our order taken. The food was good but mt favourite was the milk mysorepak, although the ghee mysorepak is worth sampling as well. The dosas were crisp and the thali amazing.

I went there for lunch and the food was authentic and awesome. The food was so delicious, not oily up to the mark. I loved it so much. If anyone is looking for authentic Tamil food in Delhi, this is for you. The only problem is you have to wait for your turn.

We ordered Rava Onion masala dosai and masala dosai along with filter coffee. Everything was good except for the Rava dosai, it was not properly cooked from middle and I got a lump of raw batter of rava which I didn't like. Also the restrooms aren't clean, no one would expect to use a unisex restroom in such a famous chain of restaurants.

This is a Tamil style South Indian restaurant. A lot of menu options at reasonable rate. Food is good. Try to order smaller qty items as it may be more than you think/can eat. Thali has many items. All pre-served. Only drawback is: items will be cold by the time you finish the thali. Try to reach around 12:30 for lunch to avoid waiting. A lot of authorised parking available nearby.

Saravana Bhavan captivated me with its unparalleled popularity, evident in the extensive queue that formed outside the restaurant. The anticipation built during the wait was rewarded with a culinary experience that exceeded expectations. The standout dish, without a doubt, was the ghee dosas, a gastronomic masterpiece that added a layer of brilliance to the overall dining affair. While the thali offered a satisfactory variety, it was the Rava khichadi that left a lasting impression with its delightful and nuanced flavors. The establishment undeniably claims the title of the best South Indian restaurant in Delhi, boasting a culinary prowess that resonates with authenticity and quality. With a capacity to accommodate over 100 patrons simultaneously, Saravana Bhavan provides a spacious and vibrant dining atmosphere. However, a word of caution for weekend visits, where the popularity peaks and a wait of 45 minutes to an hour is likely. On other days, the waiting time is more manageable, ranging from 15 to 25 minutes, making it a convenient choice for those seeking a delectable South Indian feast in the heart of Delhi.

Top top quality food 5 rating to the food, to the service and to the atmosphere. Nothing to complain about the place. One should must try this place - reasonable prices and good food. The only concern is the waiting time - however it is worth the wait.

One of the staples for South Indian flavors. We went there in the morning around 9 and there was no queues. The quality of the food is amazing. The service is amazing as well. Food comes in about 15 mins after ordering. I really loved their paratha, medu vada, and badam milk. A must visit place for all south indian food lovers.

One of the best South Indian food in Delhi NCR. The prices could have been slightly lower. I had Mix Veg Uttapam it was tiny but taste was up to the mark, and the chutneys were tasty.
