"Indian food is where it’s at for vegetable-focused dishes. Head to East Ham, Wembley, and other locations across London to Saravanaa Bhavan, which has some of the best South Indian food anywhere in town. Get a few idlis and a dosa, and maybe some spicy rasam. And if you want to go the whole hog, pop into one of the local Asian sweet shops afterwards for dessert." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing

"Saravanaa Bhavan is the biggest South Indian chain in the world, and their entirely vegetarian menu is pretty hefty too. Available to order from their East Ham branch, the menu here could legitimately fill your fridge for weeks, let alone a night or two. There’s an extensive choice of dosas, parottas, rotis, naans, curries, and more, as well as a handy kid’s menu too." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"Crispy dosa, pillowy idli and crunchy vada abound at this branch of the popular Tamil food chain. A favourite for its vast vegetarian menu, food here is always fresh and piping hot, making it a mecca for solo diners and families yearning for the comforting flavours of south India. The fresh juices and lassis are also delicious, with several options available according to seasonal variety." - Shekha Vyas

I ordered three chapatis from this restaurant, and when I opened the packaging, I noticed they were not cooked properly. I contacted the restaurant, and the manager asked me to send a photo, which I did. However, after seeing the photo, the manager’s response was dismissive, saying, “You can eat it, it won’t harm you.” I found this response to be completely unprofessional. Additionally, the restaurant seems to lack basic health and safety standards. Based on my experience, it appears they are no longer prioritizing quality or customer care, perhaps because they already have enough business. For those considering ordering here, I would recommend avoiding this place due to their poor food preparation and lack of proper customer service. I’ll attach the photo I sent to the restaurant as proof.

We visited one Friday evening, The manager was only worried about Making money trying to put us in to the corner where 2 people can sit and eat and gave us an excuse saying that its busy day no complaints that is his Job. I have asked to sit where we can eat comfortably. Waited for 5-10 minutes no one came to take the order, after some time I called the manger and said we are ready to give the order. Food was ready very quickly. 🙌🏻 Hands up for the people who working hard in the kitchen. Food potions a become very little compared to 2-3 years before. This is not a place who can sit and eat peacefully this place becomes so much in rush and the overall situation will make to u eat very quickly and leave the place as soon as u finished. Staff was so much under pressure no one seems to be me have a little smile on their face.

I've been to the southall Sarvana Bhavan and really liked the Chole Bature. This one was not as much as the Southall One but overall good. Great Atmosphere and great service by the waitress, but I recommend they improve their food quality a bit better. Great Price.

I recently dined at Saravana Bhavan in Eastham with my sister's family, including three children, on August 23rd, 2024. We ordered several dishes, but when we were served the Poori, we discovered a cockroach fried with the food. Horrified, I immediately stopped the children from eating and brought it to the attention of the staff. They claimed this was the first time something like this had happened and seemed unsure of how it occurred. After returning home, both my nephew and I experienced severe symptoms, including vomiting and diarrhea. I promptly emailed the management about this disturbing incident, but I have yet to receive any response. The lack of hygiene in this restaurant is alarming, and I shudder to think about the state of their kitchen. The presence of cockroaches in the food suggests an extremely unsanitary environment, which raises serious concerns about the safety and cleanliness of their cooking practices. I strongly advise against dining at this establishment. I am also considering reporting this incident to the local council's health and safety department to ensure no one else has to go through a similar experience.

I recently dined at Saravana Bhavan and had a delightful experience overall. I tried the Cheese Podi Masala Dosa, Medhu Vada, and Chole Bhature, all of which were very good. The Cheese Podi Masala Dosa was particularly delicious, with a perfect blend of spices and cheese, making it a unique and flavorful dish. The Medhu Vada was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just as it should be. The Chole Bhature was also impressive, with fluffy bhature and well-spiced chole. However, the samosa was a bit of a letdown. It lacked the crispiness and flavor I was expecting. Despite this, the overall dining experience was pleasant, thanks to the attentive and friendly service. The staff ensured that we had everything we needed and made us feel welcome. I would definitely recommend Saravana Bhavan for its tasty dishes and excellent service, though I'd suggest giving the samosas a pass.

I went for breakfast with my friends on a super busy Sunday morning. There was a long queue, but it was very well managed by the staff. They were very polite and considerate and took note of all people waiting. We were able to find seats within 15 minutes. We had Sambar Vada, Ghee Idli (14 pieces of button idli dipped in Sambar), Mysore Masala Dosa, Onion Podi Dosa, Chapati and Bhaji, Rava Onion Dosa, and tea for 4 people, all for just £40. The food came in less than 5 minutes of ordering and was delicious. The chutneys and sambar were also super tasty 🤤 🤤 We were seated in the basement area, which was very well lit and airy. The washrooms were also clean and well maintained. Definitely recommend this place!! Will come back for more yummy dosas !😊

The service was not that up to the mark where you begin greeted, allowing the customers to settle down. While we settling down the waiter came and asked for the Oder to place. The waiter was too intrusive. We didn't even go through the menu and felt that he was rushing us to place the order. But we did place the starter's order. Waiting for the food was less than 10 minutes. Food was kept by the waiter without the cutlery. We had to ask him to get us some cutlery and napkins. Some other waiter came and gave us the cutlery that too without a napkins. While the food wasn’t that spectacular I would say it was okay. While I couldn’t feel the differences between the Vegetable Briyani and Vegetable Pulav. Just that a Pulav had peas without turmeric. While they both tasted the same. I would say one-time experience if you want to try Indian food. The Badam Milk was just a Yellow colour Milk it didn't even taste like Badam Milk at all. While we were eating the waiter came with the bill and the card machine, without even asking for it. After paying he did not even have the manners or courtesy to say ‘thank you’ and greet them back.
