Hotel Saravana Bhavan

Sarvana Bhavan is one of my favorite south indian restaurant chains. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough - they have an excellent variety of food and it is very authentic. My friend and I had their Mysore dosa and paratha with korma. It was really - it is mildly spicy but I really like that. It is also very reasonably priced and there is no service charge.

A decent authentic Indian place! Has all pretty much all the popular vegetarian dishes from south India and some north. A tiny bit expensive but worth it as it is not easy to get good authentic Indian food outside places like East ham and Southhall in London. Their filter coffee is the best! Must try. Ideal place for Indians or foreigners to treat themselves once in a while. Nothing is too spicy here for Indians but it should be a tiny bit more spicy for the British people.

Food was okay. Not the best south Indian food. I ordered vada and veg biryani. Vada was good and chutneys were yummy. Biryani in first sight actually looking like pulao. I still was like let's try it.. but there was no salt. I told them and they took it back.. I ordered ras malai and that was good. So in total not so great experience. I had better south Indian food in other places.

The usual Saravana bhavan ... good Indian food especially South Indian ..... tried dosas , idli , Vada all were good , North Indian thali was ok but the gulab jamun was awesome ... it was busy but the service was quick so overall good .... this one is also near to the east Croydon railway station ... like approx 7 min walk

It's a place where every Indians will be happy apart from home country on seeing best Hotel Saravana Bhavan spread wide across many countries to have awesome food which is alike home based dishes and much more.Tasty depends on dishes and way of doing and quality of products.we had mixed vegetable parotta amazing taste. Atlast values are moderate and their services are good

Out of all Saravana Bhavan's I tried in London, this one stands tall but shame they have consistently failed in service department. Located on busy George street, it is very easy to get past this place without really noticing the restaurant as it has really narrow opening and unappealing feeling from outside. I've been there lot of times with family/friends/alone and it never disappointed me in taste. Food is served with stainless steel plates which enhances the feeling of eating south indian food. You can watch Tamil/Hindi video songs played on big flat TV screen(often without any sound) and always occupied tables but I never had to wait to be seated though. Dosas in this places are must try, Idli, ghee pongal, Puri, North and South set meals never disappointed. But my all time favourite South Indian Filter coffee has always been Hit and Miss with either too much milk in it or not hot enough etc etc. I truly wish they hire or train the current staff to serve better!
