Part of international chain of South Indian vegetarian cuisine restaurants. Serves dosas, idlis, and more.

Auténtica comida india

Local muy auténtico, regentado y visitado por indios, con todo comida vegetariana. Posiblemente opciones veganas o veganizables

Pros: Autenticidad de los platos

Cons: Baños, Higiene en cocina mejorable

The place for dosa in Stockholm

We always come here if we are graving dosa and have not beeen dissapointed so far. They have a lot of differernt options, many clearly labelled as vegan. The other dishes are not bad either but nothing extremly special.
Still, it is a place to return to!

Could be wayyyyyy better

Went to this restaurant because it was nearby our hotel and had nice reviews but…
To sum up, food was OK but I have been to way better Indian restaurant…
The waitress was smily and kind but the inside of the restaurant it looked a bit dirty
The table we sat down was not really cleaned, menus were greasy
Way too many choices on the menu that doesn’t really make sense for people who are not familiar with Indian food culture… and honestly, I have tried way better… it wasn’t any “special”
Our main dishes came separately so my friend finished her meal before I even received mine otherwise it would have turn out cold…
Waitress didn’t offer a vegan option for the lassi drink so I’m not even sure that what I drank was plant-based…
The sauces that came with the samosas were not orally explained so I had a doubt about it being vegan ?
Hugely disappointed

My favorite restaurant in Stockholm!

I went on holiday to Sweden for a week and this is literally my favorite restaurant in Stockholm. We even went here on Christmas Eve. 1/3rd of the menu is vegan (very clearly marked on the menu!), there’s a really nice & authentic atmosphere, the staff is friendly and the food is SO GOOD. My mom, who has lived in India & Sri Lanka for a couple years, agreed that everything here was very authentic. We’ve been here twice within a week, and got a couple dishes to share - all the food was amazing. I’ve not eaten a single thing here that wasn’t good, and it’s cheap, too!
The two times we went here, my mom ordered a drink with dairy (she’s not vegan), and both times the staff double checked if she was vegan or not, as they were about to serve her something non-vegan. I’ve never seen this amount of “care” for my veganism from staff in restaurants, it was wonderful.
The only downside I can think of is that the “special” drinks aren’t vegan and there’s only one vegan dessert.
I’d 100% recommend going here.

Pretty authentic...

Probably the most authentic Indian food I had in Stockholm so far and the most authentic atmosphere, too. This is as close to Indian street-side eatery you'll get in Stockholm, I feel. If there are better authentic Indian places in town, please tell me.
Yes, you need to double confirm that what you order is vegan, but once they got it, they got it.
I had the vegan Thali and the Baingan Bharta, both were very tasty. Will surely come back.

Pros: Authentic food & atmosphere , Lots of choice , Has beer

Cons: Need to double confirm what you order is vegan

They state being number one, but in fact this chain was my least favourite Indian restaurant i've been to so far. Not that something was wrong, but i just expected a little more of the taste.

Pros: It's in many countries across europe

Cons: Curry was a little bit tastless

Ultra large menu

The menu goes on and on, and vegan options are many. The food came out extremely fast and everything tasted very well! Felt authentic and even though it was quite early on a weekday the place was almost full.

OK but could be better

Staff and decor leave you wanting more. No attention to detail or quality. From saggy furniture, uninterested staff and floppy menus. But I get it, this is supposed to be fast food. It’s not very fast though, but it’s allright. The food is ok and south indian restaurans are always a welcomed addition to the more common bengali options in town. I come here for lunch sometimes and leave content. Never really crave to go back though. So, not really a recommend.

In the kingdom of blind, the one eyed is king.

There is not much competition for south indian food in Stockholm. So Saravanaa Bhavan reign as the king of this category, despite a smelly restaurant, sometimes lousy service, and a too low restroom capacity.

The dosa is great, their thalis is everything you would expect. Just don't order the gigant dosa, it's more for Instagram than eating, order two regular dosas if you are that hungry.

Pros: They have dosas, in Stockholm, It tastes great, They serve beer

Cons: Smelly basement, Prepare to wait at peak times

Ask, ask and ask again if the food is definitely vegan...

Glad I read the reviews here before I went. Ordered the vegan thali and it arrived... but it was not vegan. Ordered a beer and it never even arrived. Food was ok, but is ok enough? I have had both worse and better curries. The bread was nice and the service a bit distracted, but friendly.

Pros: They know how to spell vegan, The food isn't awful, Portions ok

Cons: They don't know what vegan means, They never bought me my beer, You know when you don't trust it's vegan?

Gott och intressant

Utmärk indisk mat, flera olika rätter och otroligt många veganska och vegetariska varianter. Jag rekommenderar starkt att ta te eller kaffe - så goda är de!! Öppet under kvällar

Beware

I ordered a vegan thali and when it arrived I asked them just in case if everything was vegan. Turns out three of the dishes were not vegan.

Pros: Really tasty

Cons: Food not vegan even though it has a vegan label

Authentic South Indian Taste

Ordered Mini idli, Methu Vada and Onion
Masala with Madras Coffee to finish the course. All tasted great. Chutneys especially green and coconut were very tasty. Great portion sizes. Coffee was strong, with a Swedish kick! Will be back.

Pros: Taste, Portion size, Service

Cons: A bit pricey but well worth it

#Dosa's..Idli's..#Brain food#Healthy#nostalgic....

Hade en riktigt bra Dosa efter lång tid, från Saravanaa Bhavan. Min smakkänsla reste till min hemstad i södra Indien, och kom ihåg maten min mamma gör. Chutney var riktigt färsk och dosa var skarp. Jag blev förvånad över att se de sorter av Dosa som de serverar i Stockholm. Efter Dosa var min nästa favorit Paneer Pulao. Den rika doften av indiska kryddor gjorde bara min mun vattnig. Mina vänner försökte nordindisk mat och de älskade det också. Tjänsten är bra och stämningen är också bra med god lugnande indisk musik. Detta är min favoritrestaurang i Stockholm överlägset.

Genuine South indian food. Highly recommend the Saravanaa Special Meals (thali)

Love the South Indian kitchen and was so happy when I found Saravanaa Bavan. Their miles a head of other “Indian” restaurants. I recommend paper thin masala Dosa and Special meals (South Indian thali). I could eat here everyday...

Pros: Big menu , Pure veg, vegan options, Taste of top class South Indian food

Cons: Sometimes the waiter takes time, Sometime vegan option = less food, Can’t think of another con!

Bästa vegetariska restaurangen

Det är den bästa vegetariska restaurangen i Stockholm som erbjuder alla sorter av sydindisk och nordindisk mat och smak är läppsmakande. Även om jag inte bor i Stockholm när jag besöker Stockholm går jag alltid till denna plats för äkta indisk mat som är vegetarisk.

Finally Stockholm is blessed with a nice Indian restaurant.

Finally, Stockholm is blessed with a nice Indian restaurant. If you would like to taste the real Indian vegetarian food, SB is a must-visit. In my life, I have never seen these lavish range of the vegetarian menu that SB offers. No other vegetarian restaurant can match the choice of food that they have. That's a bet. Taste is wonderful if you like south Indian food. Very Friendly place.Hugely recommended.

Best Veg Restaurant in Stockholm City

Have Visited Saravanaa bhavan a few times and always had a good experience. Tasty food, courteous staff and good ambience. We can see the dosa’s being cooked in the kitchen. So many delicious varieties of Dosa that you would love to try . Sometimes there is a delay to get food when visiting during peak time.
Must Try: Thali meals, Varieties of Dosa, Kadai Paneer Punjabi, Mango Lassi :)

Pros: Fresh and Tasty Food

Cons: Occasional delay (around 20-25 minutes) in getting

Excellent food and ambience

I visit Saravanaa Bhavan almost every week and my family love the food there. Their South Indian food is authentic and fresh. I enjoy the North Indian and Chinese cuisines as well. Their paneer Manchurian and Palak paneer is really good. Their thali has around 13 dishes and it is served unlimited also. The staff is also very friendly. The place has a good ambience and is at a good location, near to the metros. Saravanaa Bhavan is my choice when I feel to have homely food.
