Vegetarian South Indian Food was delicious and freshly made. Great customer service

If you like and miss having a mini tiffin for breakfast then this is the place for you. Good flavour for the sauces, vadai was not as crunchy as I like but still acceptable and the spice level was just right. Very filling and top off with a hot mini coffee. There is spacing between tables but the ambient lighting was a bit dim. Paid parking nearby. Cost of a meal AED22/person

The place never disappoints.However, lately I feel theres been some compromises being done on the quality or lets say the quantity.How do I put this right, the mini tiffins are my favorite and the tasty mini idly that they serve with it, is both a visual treat and a treat to your taste buds. Guess what, they stopped serving these little idlys and its apparently some sort of a management decision... hmmm!!!The sambars are more like dal curry.. Hey, where are the veggies?But again, I would say..SVB is probably one of the best option for some decent south Indian vegetarian cuisine, specially the #dosas.

Good Indian vegetarian fare. Despite it looking not so inviting at first glance, on entering, the food is actually very good and of a consistent quality. The best thing is that it is so well priced that you will hardly notice your spend here. If you have never experienced South Indian vegetarian food, this is a good place to start without breaking the bank and you will not be disappointed.

My friends family had a very bad experience here two days back. They went for lunch and waited for a long time to get someone attended to take the order. The waiter was not interested in taking order and they were unable to get the food of their choice as the waiters answer was no to their food of choice. Somehow they took the food which was served by the waiter. The restaurant looks dirty and unhygienic. The food served was tasteless as my friend said never to go to this particular restaurant. The staffs were very rude and was not willing to consider the need of the customer. Send the staffs for rehabilitation and teach them basic manners. The customers are not their for the charity from the shop as the attitude of the staffs was much worser than that.They have a plenty in one thing that is the price which is like paying price of gold for rusted iron..

Went there after a decade with some friends. This is a busy and popular spot and focuses on South Indian (specifically Tamil) food. We went for the breakfast which is till 11:30am. Ghee Roast Masala dosa was the main but for starters we had Idly, Vada and Pongal (love these names!) Havent tried most of these before and I was in for a treat. We finished off with a filtered coffee Tamil style which is heavy on the Chicory. This herb changes the taste a bit and I believe it was originally mixed in because pure coffee is more expensive. Personally I loved it especially since I dont mind pure Chicory coffee either. Highly recommended.

Went to this restaurant for a thali dinner. We had to choose between poories and chapaties. Chose poories to eat with the dishes served. There were a couple of vegetables dishes, yoghurt, sambhar, rasm, buttermilk, halwa etc. Food was hot and tasty but would have preferred to have more vegetable dishes.

Saravana bhavan, oud mehta, needs some positive energy induced.I went in for some evening snacks.Borderline good for the snacks. The famous filter coffee was not upto the repute it commands, or just that day maybe...Overall 2.5 out of 5 for Saravana Bhavan, Oud Mehta.

When it comes to going back to my South Indian roots and enjoying mouthwatering local delicacies, I absolutely love the food at Saravana Bhavan. And this particular branch in Oud Metha is my favorite for the following reasons:1. The ambience here is spacious and inviting. Everything looks super clean and airy.2. Their washroom is large and decent.3. The staff are very friendly, love talking with their customers, and are super jovial. They even give you extra helpings.

Review №45

We had a very very bad experience here especially the waiters treatment. They took our order 20mins after we reached. They were ignoring us. They dont want customers. There were only 2-3 tables occupied. When requested for thali and palak paneer they went inside and came back saying not available. First when we asked they said it is available and gave a ridiculous smile. In the end we ate whatever was available. But when we were about to pay the bill they were standing next to us all the time to get some tip. For that they didnt have any problem. We wont suggest this restaurant to any of our relatives or friends. We had faced similar situations earlier also but didnt report.

Had a worst experience. We had been to Saravana bhavan last week and ordered Idly. The idly was not fresh and they just reheated it and it was hard on top.The staff were rude and asked if they have to bring Live idly(Not sure what that means).And then when they have to take next order they said that only dosa is available .Even the manager is the same.I will never ever visit again.
