SARAVANAA BHAVAN

Visited during our roadtrip to east coast. Great ambiance, food did not meet my taste expectations. Medhu vada was good, paper dosha was just ok, uthappam was not that good, coffee was just ok, tea was not great. Sambar and chutneys were good. Friendly staff, clean inside and restrooms. Very spacious restaurant, would recommend if you are looking for good Indian vegetarian food.

One of the famous vegetarian-culinary identities of the Indian state (Tamilnadu) I belong to, which also happens to be the birthplace of this true global chain of restaurants- HSB/Saravana Bhavan. I’ve been coming to this restaurant at Edison for close to 6 years now and I’ve always felt that this franchise doesn’t really drive me home for its authenticity in taste which is the stamp of authority for any HSB back in Tamilnadu. Not sure if the management or chef changed in recent times but over time I feel they are getting the true mojo of a HSB. The place is well lit, located in a hotspot of Indian restaurants, has ample parking and the hospitality is always top notch. The menu is not extensive but the prices are nominal which is unlikely for a HSB as they are notoriously known for being pricey back in India :)

I was looking for some vegetarian places to have brunch. I found this place and believe me as soon as we entered in, the aroma of food made me very hungry. The place opens at 11 and we went around 11:15, the place was already packed with people with food on their table. Our host Ram welcomed us and served our order very quickly. The food came out quick. Very delicious and heart felt warmth. Thanks to our host Ram for making sure we had everything we want on table quick and wonderful experience. 10/10 for food and service. Definitely visiting again.

Always guaranteed comfort in each bite. I would say the sambar can be better. But their service is unbeatable, we were seated within seconds of arriving, and food was at the table within minutes of ordering. With two little kids, this is such a blessing!

Tomato onion Utthapam with 3 different varieties of chutney reminded us our home tatste; combination of crisp and soft dosa. South Indian thali and sweet pongal is at best as expected from Sarvana bhavan. Staffs were friendly and respectful. (But Bisibelebath didn’t meet our expectation, also boondi would have better choice.)

A must visit if you are a true lover of south indian food. Waiting time was 10-15 mins that too on a saturday 12pm. Fresh cooked food with so much flavours. The place is extremely clean and service is too good. Would love if you guys open a branch at Boston too

Very close to the authenticity of HSB back in India. Location is prime , easy parking , not much crowded (we visited for breakfast ), I have been here multiple times for dinner and lunch period as well. Can’t really comment on quality of the food , as they are one of the hotel serving food with quality as priority.

After 20 years of patronage, my family will no longer come back here. Poori/dosa/parotta quantity was small, side dishes were watered down, waitstaff forgot to bring water, and there was a large crack in the men's bathroom stall that they covered with toilet paper. Also the signature South Indian Desserts (paysam) was unavailable.
