The Mysore dosa was a little spicy. Otherwise those Indians who want to have South Indian cuisine must visit this place.

The Masala Dosa was quite good; however, the Utthapam was overly thick—more like a pizza than a traditional South Indian dish. I wouldn’t recommend the Utthapam based on this experience. That said, the service was courteous and attentive, which we appreciated.

Completely disappointed. Food quality just did'nt match expectations for the hype that has been created for this South Indian place. And a whopping $35 per head for a dosa brunch ! Except for the fact that the dosas are large in size, there is nothing remarkable about them - run of the mill quality not worth the price- taste like factory produced. Other dishes like Pav Bhaaji was not close to what it should be. No rava dosa's served on weekend ! There are much superior South Indian/Dosa places in NYC (try one long established one at Lexington Ave that is named after a festival). Service and attention fromservers was okay. Do not recommend - one feels cheated after eating here.

Last week dined at Saravanaa Bhavan and had an excellent experience, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Sarath. He was extremely courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout my visit. Sarath took the time to patiently explain the menu, help me choose the right dishes, and most importantly, he clearly informed me about food allergy-related ingredients, which made me feel comfortable and safe. His professionalism and friendly attitude truly enhanced my dining experience. I highly recommend Saravanaa Bhavan and appreciate the exceptional service provided by Sarath.
the food was good,the ambience is really nice i would highly recommend ordering disas and uthappams here

I went to this place yesterday at 9:30pm with family and a small kid. The lady stopped us on the main door asking if we can order in 10 minutes as they were closing even though it showed 10pm as closing online. We agreed and said that’s fine it shouldn’t take us a lot of time to order, she again pushed back by saying we only have dosas to which all of us still agreed since it was getting late. Once we got a table we asked for rava dosa she said they are out of rava, we asked for podi dosa she said there is no podi and was clearly annoyed and angry. I was also not happy with her behavior and asked everyone if we should leave but everyone was so tired and it was hard to find another place close by with a small baby. Next thing, we order medhu vada and few dosa varieties with medu vada coming in first it was all over fried and bitter. The dosas were decent. Everybody was hurrying up to finish as we could see the staff was clearly annoyed and angry and waiting to kick the customers out. If this was not enough, the server came mid meal and asked if we can pay now. I was stunned at that point, Saravanna Bhavan is known for clean hygienic food and good hospitality back in India and this was ridiculous and not acceptable at all. I hope they learn people spend their hard earned money for this food and the least they expect is better food and a tad bit of respect.

Yesterday I ordered aloo paratha but they gave me a masala dosa's potato filling inside a naan and we are still eating and they gave us the bill in the middle of it! On top of that, they turned off the AC and cooler. They didn't even wait for us to leave 😔
