Terrible taste, the utensils smelled in bad. Expensive for no reason. Unhygienic premises and restrooms. Sure would not last in business for long.

Food is delicious but was disappointed with the service of the Manager. There is a coupon on the website for 10% off that we showed to the waiter. She checked with the manager and came back to us saying that it will be accepted. But when the check came it was not honored. When asked, the manager said it is only for take out. Why was this not informed when checked? We would be okay with a No. This attitude of the manager made us very disappointed when we were quite happy with the food and other service.

Dinner party for 8, we were a little late but they were very accommodating. We started with Samosas which came with two sauces a chutney and sweet. For entrees, I had the Chicken Biriyani, Chicken Cochin Curry, Palak Paneer, and the Rogan Josh Goat Curry with Garlic Naan. The curries came with a small bowl of white rice. My favorite curry was the Rogan Josh Goat Curry. The meat was tender with spices nicely infused to create a wonderful and smooth taste. I also ordered a Masala Chai which was the perfect temperature to sip! Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend. I will be coming back again!

We had a party of 8 reserved, and the Sarva team didn’t skip a beat in helping us setup and make it an eventful night! All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They were patient with us, and very attentive in refilling waters and clearing plates throughout the night. They offered us different spice levels for each dish as well as some personal recommendations which were amazing! Good variety of options between appetizers, entrees, drinks, and some unique creative desserts! Bringing a nice fusion mix of Indo-Chinese culture to the table. The setting as well brings a nice comfortable cozy feel. Highly recommend for all food lovers in the area! Keep up the excellent work Sarva!

The food tastes good, but the quantity is disappointing. I ordered a Chicken 65 appetizer for $16, but the portion size felt like it was worth only $5–$6. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
We had a friends birthday dinner here and the staff was very accommodating and nice! Service was fast and friendly. I was impressed by the amount of both north and South Indian options in their menu.
Definitely try their biriyani, it was our favorite! Along with the goat Rogan Josh and the chilli chicken. Everything cooked to perfection with the right amount of spice. The masala tea was perfect for the cold day.
The staff also brought out cake for our friends birthday so overall 10/10 experience :)
Their dessert menu also looked very unique, will definitely need to come back to try more!

The Indian food here is delicious and the service is impressively quick. The garlic naan and butter chicken, tandoor chicken tikka is a must-try—absolutely perfect!

Most of the food does not have any flavour. Only biryani was something that had some flavor. Highly dissappointing

A perfect spot to dine on Newbury Street. Sarva provided us with amazing service- the staff members were very polite and professional, and the owner was wonderful. The food was to die for, we haven’t stopped thinking about it since! Everything comes in beautiful dishes as well. All of the food we tried on the menu was absolutely delicious, thinking about it now makes me hungry. If you’re ever walking Newbury st and need the most delicious, filling and well priced meal, Sarva is your spot. Definitely going to be returning.

Good Indian food with speedy service. Highly recommend the garlic naan, which was perfect. The interior of the restaurant could use a makeover, but overall this was a positive experience and I would return.

We stopped in for the lunch buffet, at $22 per person and consisting of a dozen stations with freshly baked naan brought to the table. I thought the paneer was dry and flavorless but loved the chicken biryani and the vegetarian dishes. It was nice seeing lemonade on offer with the buffet. Service was attentive and quick, and the naan was some of the softest I have tried in Boston. Really liked the clean, uncluttered decor, modern and refreshing.
