Authentic, tasty and inexpensive 5 Star Rating - World class

I've been to Saravanaas several times and have found the food to be authentic and delish. Definitely worth a shot and appeals to both desis and non-desis alike. The service is business-like and not the most hospitable; but you get what you pay for. You can eat an enormous amount for $20. It can get super-crowded and noisy. Best to go early (say 6 or 6.30pm for dinner and 11/11.30 for brunch or lunch).

Pros: Price, location, authenticity
Cons: Lackadaisical service, noisy

Love the food! 5 Star Rating - World class

I have had breakfast and lunch here, and dinner pick-up, and this is by far my favorite South Indian restaurant. The food is authentic and tasty. The service is not bad either - but then I have never been here on weekends. I highly recommend this place for the food. The ambience is not bad either - there is usually a long wait during lunch especially in the summer, but the trick is to get there at the right time when there are fewer people. I have never had a bad experience here, and love the food. The only negative part is the Indian tea - it is not perfect, and tends to be very strong.

Pros: Food

Aunthenic South Indian Food Breakfast 5 Star Rating - World class

I came to Saravanaas the other day for breakfast and it was by far the best Indian food that I have ever tasted. All of my senses were touched, and delighted. I had the breakfast platter. It had a taste of each flavor on it. So incredible delicious. The waitstaff was very accomodating and nice. The owner was full of smiles, and welcoming. The place is big, and roomy. The smell is intoxicatingly delicious. The meals are really big, and leave you completely full and happy. This is a vegetarian restaurant, and the cooks are authentic south indians.
You must try this place if you are coming to visit, or here to stay. Try the breakfast. Youll want it every day after!

Pros: breakfast, service, taste, ambience, location, all of the taste
Cons: nothing!
