We had a later lunch of paper masala dosa, podi Idli and filter coffee. Everything was good and delicious. All the dishes were served with 2 Chutneys and sambhar. So good, would definitely visit again to have more dosas and idlisVegetarian options: It's a vegetarian restaurant

Authentic South India, Chennai food. Vegetarian. Tried the Dahi vada (spicy lentil donut in flavored yougurt sauce)Crisp ghee roast dosa with sambar and chutney bursting with flavor. Rava dosa with lace like appearance and delicious taste. Spicy masala dosa the hot cousin to the regular dosa. (Dosa -Savory rice and lentil pancakes to be eaten with 3 different yummy chutneys and sambar (split pea or dhal based vegetable stews)

What a despicably nasty attitude from the management. Yesterday, we had dinner with my family. The dandruff man is so messy that dandruff was flying off of his head. He is far too disrespectful. He pulled out the plates before finishing the meal. I was really ashamed in front of my in-laws that i recommended this restaurant. Even though there has been a service charge applied, he still requests further tips. When we questioned why we needed to leave tips when the service charge had already been charged, he responded that since the restaurant didn't pay them a reasonable wage, they only made money off of tips. Indian eateries are so cunning that they recruit staff at very low salaries and allow them to work hard. Food was cold, the curry was awful, and the sambar was stale and salty. I won't be returning again.

It was very nice to go back to this place... Lincoln was fantastic.. he got us in And served with smiles even though we were super super late to get into the restaurant. Thank u Lincoln to make our day great I was there with my family who were visiting me from Indiana. AND I was so delight to take them to Sarvanaa because they don't have much options for dining out restaurant like this. Thank you once again...

I go there frequently and enjoy their Dosas. They have a variety of dosas. Service also is very good.

I loved this place, now I won't go there. This was a place I went for piping hot dosas and excellent chutneys. However, the service has since deteriorated with unprofessional, discourteous, and rude staff from India playing tricks on their guests. I had asked for a diet coke. It was shaken vigorously before given and resulted in exploding on my table. I called over to the waitstaff to assist, as the coke kept bubbling over, and he stood there waiting and laughing. He then had a female attendant also laugh before they proceeded to huddle in front of me, jeering and laughing as they looked at me some more. I said to them in front of other guests, if I can please have another diet coke, and was told, we are running low. I asked you don't have another diet coke to give me ? Running low means you still have one more no ? I then asked another female waitstaff and she agreed to get me the diet coke, until the same individual who was initially serving her redirected her to tell me his words "we are running low." I asked them what was so funny, and left. I believe the lack of hospitality was because I came in alone, as a younger female, and that had I been a man, I would have been treated differently.

Do not go here if you are a female, alone, or simply looking to be treated to a nice dinner.

Great restaurant. Nice & friendly staff. The place is huge on the inside so you have a lot of space to dine comfortably. I've had their dosas, uttapams, idly & vada, palak paneer naan & kulcha. Literally everything has been amazing. I highly recommend this place for authentic South Indian cuisine

Food was very spicy .. service was good .. although some of the hosts should focus on how they modulate their communication

Place is low on ambience. It was very hot day but AC wasn't working. Staff was not trained properly. We had to ask for spoon, glass, straw, napkin, water jug. Basically table was empty and staff was not trained to provide cutlery while serving food. Only saving grace was food. Go for basic South Indian food. Don't try anything fancy. Food taste and quality were good and satisfying. The portion size is very large as compared to India. It is suggested to order one item between 2 persons.

This is my favorite place for South Indian cuisine. The staff here is warm & welcoming. They are well versed about the menu. The place is very big & spacious on the inside so you will dine comfortably. My first time here was April 2022 & I've been back 4 times since it's almost become a weekly thing. The food here is of such high quality & tastes so damn good that you just want to keep coming back again & again. I haven't had anything that I didn't like here. I've had their dosas, uttapams, idly vada, palak paneer, naan & kulcha & literally everything tastes amazing. If you want authentic South Indian food come here!
