Saravana Bhavan, LLC

For all things dosa, this place is a must go. Idli, medu vada and pav bhaji are the worst of quality when compared to the quality of dosa served here. So use this as a sign and don't order anything else but dosa. Also rice is fantastic. I took bisibele rice and it was delicious. Mango lassi, filter coffee are delightful.

Good food and taste was great too. We had dosa, and south Indian thalli. I believe Mysore dosa could've used more spice but this is subjective. Overall I was very satisfied and seating was fairly good for NYC, so I don't see why everyone is complaining about this. Chutneys were also on point the sambar seemed legitimate!!

Excellent, extremely consistent dosas, with the best chutneys in the tri-state area. This is a branch of a venerable South Indian chain, and has an encyclopedic dosa/uttapam selection, as well as decent medu wadas and idlis. I haven't tried the Chana Bhatura or South Indian Thali, but see lots of folks ordering them and they look tasty. Visualizza piatti

Totally worth the wait! I was craving some authentic Mysore masala dosa today and this place certainly did not disappoint. I ordered the Mysore onion masala dosa and my husband ordered the onion chili masala dosa. both were equally delicious. However, on the downside, expect long wait times to be seated as the place does fill up fast and long wait times for food delivery.

Love this place. Saravanaa never disappoints. The service is so quick. I got seated right away. They have no outdoor seating. Lots and lots of gluten free options. It’s definitely a smaller place than most of their other locations. It’s located on Lexington avenue with lots of other Indian restaurants. I went with tried and tested as I was really craving a good dosa idli and vada

Saravanaa Bhavan is an authentic South Indian Restaurant chain actually based in South India. Their food revolves around vegetarian South Indian food. Their dosas and Uttapam were really good and fresh. I think the South Indian Tali was a great choice because you get small amounts of like 10 different dishes. The coffee is also famous and worth a try. Prices I think can be on the high side, but this is Manhattan and I have nothing to complain about the food. Visualizza piatti

By far the best South Indian food you’ll get in New York City! Friendly staff, very clean place and quick service. All the dosas, idli, vada were delicious. I was a little disappointed with the coffee, it was not as strong as I expected it to be. But the waiter noticed my disappointment and Instantly offered to make a stronger version of the coffee. And for the next few days he remembered this and made a custom version of the coffee for me, impressed at the level of service.

I wasn't to familiar with what I was ordering so I decided to Google what I wanted so I would know what I was getting.... but I'm pretty sure the waiter gave my order to the table next to me....I ordered the mini idly. But I decided to keep what I got because everything there is tasty. But I will be more careful next time and show him a pic if I have to. Very reasonable prices..... there are 2 rooms for dining in.... both different in atmosphere.... clean bathrooms and attentive waiters..... will definitely be back.

Authentic South Indian Food Canteen Vibe Slow Service The food was pretty good in fact, it is as authentic as it gets for South Indian food in the US. Ordered Mysore Onion Masala Dosa, Idli Vada, Poori and Filter Coffee. Perhaps only a couple of tables were occupied when I reached there. Despite that, it took nearly 20 25 minutes for them to take order. Had to request at least 3 times for my order to be taken each time the response was that they’re sending someone to take my order soon. Also, the tables are extremely small tiny in fact.
