The worst thali I ever had, quantity was a joke and taste was missing in everything. Would never recommend to anyone

Good food and excellent service, no complaints. Now that tariffs are reduced from 50% to 10%, Hope the management reduce the prices now as a goodwill gesture.

A great place for authentic South Indian food, I have loved my visits to Saravanaa. Have to add, I have not been a fan of their NYC location. But this place in Edison has fabulous and very authentic southern fare from India!
I ordered a thali.. it was generous and thoughtfully put together with every dish tasting true to its roots. The thali consisted of—poriyal which was lightly spiced but delish, tamarind okra which was tangy and yum, sambhar which was very light yet quite high on flavors. The kurma was mildly spiced and comforting (unlike many others that I’ve had before but not enjoyed), and lastly, the pickle added a strong kick. There was also a rice-based dessert which was not too sweet, perfectly balanced and satisfying. Absolutely lip-smacking!
The masala dosa was crisp, basic, yet totally divine-tasting. Loved the masala inside! Their Combo 2 brings together a good selection of some popular breakfast items with the best dish being their sumptuous and mouth-melting rava kesari. It was the showstopper for me!!
I highly recommended this place to South Indian food lovers!
P.S.: Pics don’t do justice to the food! :)

We were the only guests there on a Friday late afternoon. Dosa, sambar & idli were served lukewarm. Sambar had no vegetables & tasted like tadka dal. Should’ve gone to our usual dosa place.

What a great find off Route 1! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Try the bisibelebath and channa.

Me and my family visit Saravana very often. It used be a warm and friendly place, now the service really degraded to very cheap i can say…. The past servers who used work here made our experience a lot better even when the food was not good at times, they had smile on their face every time and they used to be very responsible for everything, I don’t see them anymore and the new severs here should learn something how to behave with the guests. There is a man who keeps changes his expressions when we try to say something about the food. We felt uncomfortable with him in the last visit. Hope the management understands this and gives us the service we deserve, as we keep on visit your place no matter what.

I wonder the extremely high price point is worth frequent visit.
This is one of our favorite South Indian haunts. Serves authentic and delicious dosa and other typical fare. The coffee is never stale. Service is very friendly.

Used to be my only one go to restaurant in Edison for Indian food. I had ordered idli and it was so poor quality. So dry on the outside and it was hard. My husband had thali. The only vegetable was long beans. The other 3 were some kind of curries (which were ok). We had sweet pongal. Was ok.
Service was great. Very friendly and nice atmosphere.

My sister had organized a grand party in honor of her son and grandson. Though many options were available, she specifically chose Saravana Bhawan based on its past good service record. So our whole family and host of my sister’s friends were there. But Lo and behold we were confronted with extreme atrocious and disdainful behavior. The person who did this was a guy who claimed to be the Manager. At one point of time he even threatened to cancel our reservation. My sister spent more than thousand dollars but in return she was humiliated . We were shocked beyond disbelief. I need this to go to the top Management and they need to investigate. I need to be kept informed of action taken as my sister deserves justice. So far no one from Saravana Bhawan has reached out to say sorry or apologize for the treatment meted out to us

Such a disappoint experience i had today at saravana bhavan. I was with my family and i excepted something great from you guys. The food quality is very pathetic according to the prior standards. Sambar was tasteless, the only good thing about thali is poori and the sweet they served. This place is really overrated and overpriced. Mr.Ram you should concentrate on guest service instead of forcing people to write reviews. Now i realized how this place have got huge amount of reviews. He was literally forcing me for a positive review. The way he ask is disrespectful. He can ask for genuine feedback but not for the positive review. Please take care of the food quality and service instead of this drama. I hope management will take an action about this.
