Very tasty and lots to choose from! - Edit
There are loads of vegan options here! We had onion bhajis, a vegetable dosa, kadai gobi and a gobi stuffed paratha.
Read moreThere are plenty of other curries, dosas, uthappams and some Chinese dishes too!
The dosa was a little spicy for my wife (and the curry was spicier), so you might want to stick to things that you know will be mild if you don't like too much spice 🥵
Pros: Loads for vegans!
Cons: Not easy to tell what's spicy

Quality and Service going down - Edit
huge difference between my last visit and now - the place is run down and waiters are taking clients for granted - not a good sign for the long run - i am not criticising but want the management to be aware so that this such a well restaurant does not lose its charm - credibility is hard to earn and easy to lose so management please pull up the strings and strive to
Read moremake it a world class restaurant which you richly deserve. All the best.
Pros: food is still good but seems on decline
Cons: service needs to be improved cust friendly

Vegetarian Indian chain - Edit
Enjoyed a very nice dosa here. Mind you that it’s quite spicy 🌶️. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous. Menu clearly indicated what is vegan or what can be made vegan. Gluten-free is also indicated.

Many vegan options and delicious! - Edit
This vegetarian Indian restaurant has a lot vegan options, what makes it hard to choose! :)
Read moreSaravana Bhavan is a must go if you love spicy Indian food, big portions and trying new things. The latter made it difficult to choose, by the way
We ordered: Medu vada Sambhar, Dosa - with potato in it with tasty curries, and rice with different curries (I can't remember the name).
I would definitely go here again! The food is very nicely seasoned, the employees are friendly and happy to help you (necessary with so much choice) and the atmosphere in the restaurant is good.

The place is vegetarian but almost half the menu seems to be vegan so they really understand what vegan means. Everything is clearly labeled. The dosas are super tasty!

Great food, horrible ambience - Edit
The waiter that served me, unfortunately couldn’t point out clearly what was vegan. Besides that, I got the feeling that there was a little bit of a language barrier as well. It would be an improvement to write down on the menu wich dishes can be made vegan, or are vegan. That would be so helpfull. I am also very picky about ambience in a restaurant, and this was very bad. It looks old, bit dirty, the lighting is bad, no music and unattractive interior (I sound so harsh, I am sorry). BUT, the food was really delicious. And eventually that is what it is all about. I love Indian food and the fact that they don’t serve meat is great. I believe that you can also order the food online, but since the vegan options are not pointed out, I do not trust to order online yet.

Good indian food - Edit
The nice aspect of Saravana Bhavan is that the quality and taste of food does not suffer depending on the country where it is located.
Read moreThe menu is standard and same as other SB in the world, but beware of the poor ventilation. You will come out smelling like freshly fried curry
Pros: fast service, god quality
Cons: poor ventilation

All veg Indian food - Edit
This is a franchise similar to many locations in India and other countries. The last 3 times I have been here, the food has been excellent. Idli dosa with all chutneys Sambar fresh. Ambiance is that of a South Indian restaurant handling volume. Designed for groups and families. Service has been great. No more complaints. Patronized by Indian customers which is always a good sign. Medium prices in line with normally expensive amsterdam restaurants.
Read morePros: all veg South Indian good location
Cons: ambiance is not great but ok.

Not impressed - Edit
As a lover of Indian food, I had high expectations. I arrived at a time when the restaurant was fairly empty. It did not look very cozy but I am fine with that when the food is good, and the setting is quite typical for this type of Indian chain restaurants.
Read moreThe staff member who came to my table was very friendly and helpful, and he knew what "vegan" meant and gave me some directions. There was a lot on the menu to choose from. I decided to go for idli and a dosa. Both came very fast.
Then my disappointment started. The idli tasted somewhat stale and I was wondering how long ago they might have been prepared. The coconut chutney and anything else along with it tasted bland. There were some spices in everything, but not that superdelicious combination of flavors I had at many other locations (like, in India, Abu Dhabi, Dubai or at Veggiesaurus in The Hague). The dosa itself was ok, but it came with the same dips, and those -in combination with the dosa- are what really makes the dosa experience for me. The only vegan desert was a tasteless fruit salad for an overpiced 5 Euro (the prices for the other food were fair, though).
I might give them a second chance, but not too soon.
Pros: has vegan options, friendly staff
Cons: food taste and quality could be better

Authentic Indian Vegan Food - Edit
Very good and very authentic! Traditional Indian crepes, pancakes, idlys etc are all vegan. So you have a huge menu to choose from!
Read moreFriendly staff, quick service (though it can get very busy), great heart-warming food. The only things I don't like are the chairs and the tables, that's it.
Very easy to reach from center with Tram 4 to RAI.
Can definitely recommend it to everyone who loves Indian food, whether you go there with friends or for a romantic date. (:
Pros: pretty cheap for good Indian food, only 3 non-vegan ingredients on the whole menu, ea, they serve the food very quickly!
Cons: can get very busy, chairs look weird

Really good authentic Indian food - Edit
I went here with my family on Saturday and we loved it (even my dad which is hard to please with vegan food)!
Read moreWe had the Roti, the Saravanaa Special Meals and the Paper Roast Masala (and one more thing which I don't remember) and everything tasted really nice! It was plenty for 3 people.
We asked if our choices can be made vegan and it could. (Most things can but especially the things which don't obviously have non-vegan ingredients on the menu description)
First, we had to wait a bit to be served (it was quite busy), but we didn't mind, just call the waiter and don't wait for someone to come. But once we ordered the food came very quickly!
The staff was also very nice. :)
Definitely coming here again!
Tip: Come early, after we left there were people waiting in line but this could also be because it was easter weekend
Pros: Authentic Indian food which tastes good :), Received food quickly, Quantity
Cons: Maybe employ more waiters

vegan? - Edit
Arrived on a Monday evening and the place was busy, very loud, waiter showed us to a table, gave us a menu, so I asked what is vegan, he said flipping through the pages, this is possible, this possible, like every thing on the page was vegan possible, the restaurant then became totally full, so when I called him back, all of a sudden only the set meal was vegan possible? All the curries suddenly contained butter gee? Food came fast(set meals usually do), and was good,.
