@saravanaabhavanuae this place doesnt need any introduction. They have been serving authentic South Indian food for more than 40 years.I can vouch that they serve the best Ghee roast dosa from which the aroma of ghee was spreading all over. We also tried onion rava dosa, masala rava dosa and idli sambhar with multiple chutneys. The last but not the least we ended our meal with their flavorsome kesari which was full of ghee and was melting in mouth.This is a good place for vegetarians will definitely recommend.

Not too bad. Had the iddiyappam but it was quite bad. It was like frozen iddiyappam heated up. Also had the ghee paper roast plus coffee and those were good!

Food is okay. But very bad service from staff. Incompetent, Rude. Impolite and borderline shameless. The head of staff there is the worse of them all. This burdubai branch service staff are completely bringing down the level of an established multinational brand.The owner should look into it as others have also posted similar experiences. Their service standards and attitude needs change.

Worst ever South Indian restaurant in Dubai.No proper attitude with either cashier nor delivery or packing person. No attentiveness at work at all.Despite charging very high price for all foods during this pandemic situation, there is no proper handling of orders and while delivering some of the dishes ordered were missed as well.Ashamed of writing this sort of review against an once upon a time reputed restaurant.Just running the restaurant for money sake and nothing else...Better to ban this restaurant in UAE...

Please please, dont visit and waste your money, this worst restaurant supposed to close, worst ever restaurant in UAE, very highly increased price for a very cheap quality and served very cold food at 1.00pm lunch. The quantity of food is like sample only, No value for for money, we will never visit again there. We enter with full hungry came out with full angry due to very worst food and very less quantities of cheaper dishes. Please DONOT visit. Saravana Bhavan should close the outlets.

Worst ever restaurant in Burdubai. Highly increased price for a chaeper quality food. Importantly timid-behaved staff, particularly caah counter staff. No any value for customers & their money. I will never visit again there. Very worst experience on Today lunch parcel. Very less quantities of cheaper dishes. But the price is aed 21+2 (2 for extra for parcel).

Its everything you would expect from Saravana Bhavan, food, service and price. Trying vegetarian for two weeks in Dubai,we were adamant to try Saravana Bhavan in Dubai. The food taste was exactly the same as all the other branches. Just stepping into the restaurant you immediately feel as if you are in Chennai

Review №48

Most horrible food. The waiters though Indian cud not speak English or Hindi. Food served was cold. A simple unlimited thali meant they will come n ask if we need something extra or more. They could not be bothered.Requesting for a simple buttermilk with ice...we were told either take what they serve or cancel it. They are running just on their past names.Foreigners who are not used to this kind of food...be wary of acidity etc.

Review №53

Sad to report, folks, your quality and service are going down step by step. your waiters are ruining the whole brand name. Waiters are constantly impolite and dont have the foggiest idea how to carry on with their clients, consistently the waiters always attempt to make the rush burry and compelling you to eat quickly for the following waiting clients. nature of the nourishment is an articulate calamity now, salty Currys and cold roties, and so on. You all need to control your people generally will wind up in nothing

I saw cockroaches in the sweets where they kept and I informed them, that some insects are going. The guy sitting on the counter said it just came and he dont know from where it came. They didnt even remove the sweets from there. I told them clearly that cockroaches were on sweets please remove and I checked coming out secretly either they remove or not. As I was waiting for someone to come there. But they didnt remove. So rest is on the people who want to eat there or not. this is my experience I shared. Good luck

It was all about simplicity & when I was asked where I’d like to go for my birthday breakfast, Saravana Bhavan was my first choice.... especially since my favouritest visitor had expressed a wish to eat there. Ooohhhh I had missed their sambhar dipped medu vadai & she had missed their masala dosa served with 3 varieties of chutneys. My 2nd visitor had experienced their thaali in 2017 but this time he was introduced to the mini tiffin... all accompanied by filter coffee. There was food on the table & then there were all gone!!! I wouldn’t ask for any other way to celebrate my birthday... surrounded by loved ones, family & fantastic food.

Sarvana Bhawan is the best place in India for South Indian Snacks and food.At Dubai also our family went to Sarwana Bhawan with the same zeal and expectation.But the food is not exactly the same.It can be 70 to 80 percent similar to what is served at their joints in India.The taste and quality can improve.But still a very good option in Dubai for south Indian food lovers.

This restaurant is good only for South Indian breakfast ....near the temple I went to that branch ..the service was so pathetic....the server (waiter) looked like Nepali but I noticed him speaking Tamil with other colleagues...he was standing right in front of him and he can notice that i want to order but no response then i had to call him .....the way he spoke to me ...as if he is forced to work there .....getting words out of his mouth was like a blessing ....very laid back server ...not ready to explain what they have in breakfast .....coming to my table if I call was like a war for him....it spoiled my mood going to this restaurant....
