Long-running international chain serving up South Indian vegetarian dishes, including dosas.
"This spacious, busy, no-frills Wembley branch is part of an absolutely massive international vegetarian chain with several restaurants in London. The menu is as large as its global ambitions, with a mind-boggling choice of idli, dosa, and vada — not to mention curries, noodles, rice dishes, breads, and a Jain menu. Kara dosa, made from toor dal, raw rice, coconut and spices such as dried red chillies, are stuffed with a gentle potato-onion masala. There’s a good selection of idlis here — regular and mini-sized, steamed and fried, smeared in ghee, or dipped in sambar. To drink, there’s an imaginative selection of freshly pressed juices: grape, pineapple, and ginger being a particularly refreshing combination." - Sejal Sukhadwala
"It’s worth making the trip out to East Ham or Wembley to Saravana Bhavan, which has some of the best South Indian-style food anywhere in town. The whole experience is a bit of an adventure, and part of the fun is feeling you could be in Tamil Nadu (or the West Midlands, at the very least). Get a few idlis and a dosa, and maybe some spicy rasam. It’s where all of our Indian friends go, and if you want to go the whole hog, pop into one of the local Asian sweet shops afterwards for dessert." - David Paw
