Dosas

The dosas are good, we tried mysore masala but the uttapams are just okay. Dont try their sandwich dosa at all, not so great. Ambience is okay too. The place is huge and can accommodate more people.

Pros: Dosas, Chutneys

Cons: Staff, False Item description

A classic.

Saravanaa Bhavan is authentic South Indian food, they’ve been around since literally the beginning of time😅 Not my favorite South Indian ever, but it sure does hit the spot. I got the Medhu vada and paper dosa this time and left very satisfied. The sambhar and chutneys (dips) are vegan.
⚠️Vegans, watch out for dairy. The staff member who served us was knowledgeable about what vegan means and she was careful to get my order in with no butter or ghee.

Mediocre for this price

The food is ok. Authentic and spicy but kinda pricey for what you get.

legit.

If you're looking for a legit South Indian meal, this is the best in the Bay Area. It's packed by 830, Indians eat late. Get in before 730 and you're fine.

Line out the door S.Indian style Thali!

Good real deal stuff folks. Dosa, thali, uthappam, S.Indian style biryani's, alot of everything.
If the menu says an item is served for dinner, don't try to order for lunch. They obviously have been around long enough to set some rules:) Rightfully so, get there early for lunch or you might have a wait.

Dinner time, be a social butterfly and used to close'quarters. Lots of sweets for sale on your way out too!!
