Saravanaa Bhavan Reviews
Came here with high expectations, but unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. The taste and overall quality of the food did not live up to what we expect from Saravanaa Bhavan. Not happy with the service as well. Going forward, we’d rather stick with our usual go-to place, Sri Ananda Bhavan.
Saravana Bhavan in Sunnyvale has a warm, bustling vibe with friendly staff—our waitress was attentive and cheerful. The food was fresh and satisfying, though the main dishes felt slightly mild compared to other locations. Portions were generous for the price, and the kesari halwa dessert was a standout. Parking was easy nearby, and we never felt rushed. A small suggestion: maybe offer spicier options for those craving more heat.
If you want a dosa fix, this is the place to come to in the Bay Area. We've been coming here for 15 years and it's consistent, delicious and gets it right every time. Get the vada, the rava or paper dosa or the utthapam. Everything is good.

Saravanaa Bhavan is a South Indian restaurant known for its variety of dishes. Their Special thali includes a big Poori, ample rice, pulav, and a selection of curries, ending with a sweet bowl of payasam. Recent visits reveal that the restaurant has improved its quality, with dishes like Sambar Vada, dosas, and Chana Bhature tasting good again. Customers praise the delicious sambhar and chutneys, as well as the mix veg utthapam, Sarvana special dosa, and mix veg dosa, which features fresh and crispy vegetables. Many find the food far more delicious than other places like Mylapore, especially noting the tasty sambhar and chutney, along with excellent table service. The thali and the meal sambhar are considered some of the best in the Bay Area. While some earlier experiences included disappointing dishes, the restaurant appears to be regaining its former glory, making it a popular choice for South Indian cuisine.
