I was willing to give This Saravana Bhavan another chance.
It was advertised as a location under new management. The staff were cordial, service was great.
The foods that you can never-go-wrong (Idly, Dosa, Poori and vada) are good. These can be prepared at home too and have a comparable taste.
However ordered Kothu Parota and Kaima Idly, both were prepared like a pasta in a sauce. Really!!
I believe this location is under new management and still employees the same cheff with very basic skills. Felt really bad to have come to this location with family. While the same dishes are made to perfection at Edison Saravana Bhavan.
The taste of Sambar is also not good. Please get your basics right!! Will certainly not recommend this location for any dishes other than Idly and Dosa!!
We also enjoyed the masala chai and the kids loved mango lassi.
Finding a table is easy around 12 PM. There’s ample parking.
The place maintains hygiene standards. Tables and cutlery – spotless.
Orders are served super quick.
Tastes as good as their restaurants in India.
Menu is rich and great for regular visits.
What deserves a special mention?
Sadya served was great – very close to what we have in India.
What could be better?
Nothing, they are doing a great job. Just keep the place as clean as you have today. Maybe start providing a clean handwash option, visiting washroom before eating is not everyone’s favorite.
We ordered the punugulu. This was okay. I was expecting them to be smaller in size. They weren’t as light and fluffy as I expected. They were a bit dense and heavy.
Also ordered an onion tomato chilli uttapam. This was good. Nice and crispy and fully.
Mysore dosa was okay. The red chutney in the inside lacked flavour. It was just one dimensional and spicy. There was no balance in flavour. And I guess they don’t add any garlic to the red chutney? Because that would help in flavour.
Idli was good. I am a fan of the soft fluffy melt in the mouth kind of idli (mallige idli). But my husband loves the typical Idli the Idli that has a little rava texture. So he loved it.
The service was good.
Ambience was good.
Lastly we got a rose milk for take out. This was weird. The milk was slimy like it was old or gone bad? We had already left so didn’t go back to show them.
I would go here again as I want to try the rice items. The thali seems to be a popular option and also the poori and chole bhatura.
Special mention to the Sambar. This was excellent. Very flavourful and spicy and tangy and the addition of little jaggery to balance all the flavours. It was delicious.
The chutneys were good for the most part. The coconut chutney was the best out of the 3. The tomato one was not the best.
