Best Indian food in Rome. Everything was perfect. It’s completely vegetarian, but you won’t even miss meat when the food is this great.
Thin-crust Dosa is just
They also have this mixed paratha. It’s like Sri Lankan kottu and was great. It pairs well with Paneer Butter Masala.
Definitely buy Baingan Bharta. You can just eat that and paneer butter masala with white rice; even that’s enough. So tasty.
Uthappam was very tasty. It’s like those in Sri Lanka. All side dishes are top-notch.
As a Sri Lankan with a South Asian palate living in Italy, this restaurant is a literal gem.
And the service is incredibly fast. We just placed our order on the mobile, and the food came right away.
I’m so satisfied with the value for money.
For 5 people. Bill was 137 Euros.
It may be expensive compared to other Indian restaurants in Rome, but no one comes close to the taste of their food.

When you craving fresh and authentic South Indian food in Rome, Saravana Bhavan is the place to go. The place is always crowded and the food is super fresh and tasty. It was a pleasure to find this place on our holiday to Rome and we landed-up going here two times during our one week stay in the Italian Capital.
I tried their Idlis, Dosas, Vada, Thali and lots of other dishes and nothing disappointed. And to wash it all down with some amazing Filter Kapi was divine.
It’s amazing to see how many Saravana Bhavans are there around the globe today. The last time I asked, the count was 104 branches across 21 countries.

After nearly a week in Italy, we were craving South Indian food and turned to Saravanaa Bhavan, a name we usually trust. We arrived late and without a reservation, but the staff was gracious enough to seat us. While the Idli was fine, the Uttapam was disappointing—it felt “machine-made,” possibly using frozen batter and vegetables. Even more surprising for a city like Rome, which is known for fresh ingredients, the chutneys didn’t live up to the standard of other Saravanaa locations worldwide. Great location near Rome Termini, but the food quality needs to be more consistent with the brand’s reputation. Also the way to bathroom was too dirty 😐

From India to Rome taste is just awesome. Indeed they are spending authentic Indian food across boards. Great service, great manager and great all staffs.

I truly felt like I was back in India. The food quality is excellent, the service is fast, and the staff are very kind. Impeccable cleanliness, and a bonus point for the beer served in a frosted glass. I highly recommend it.

We visited in February 2025, the Jubilee Period, as dated in the photo.
First of all, this Saravana Bhavan did not reflect the traditional flavours and quality that the brand is known for worldwide.
We have visited several branches across different countries, and this was by far the most disappointing. Having travelled all the way from Australia, we were excited to experience a South Indian meal in Rome but were let down. We dined here three separate times during our trip, hoping the poor experience was a one-off issue, but each visit confirmed the same problems.
The dosa was cold every time, the sambar tasted like watered-down dal, and the chutneys were far too salty. While it was nice to be served the dosa very quickly after ordering it, the dosa was completely cold across its entire surface, while the sambar was hot in a small stainless-steel cup. When I mentioned this to the waiter, he said that it might be the ‘temperature difference’ due to the cold weather. But I wonder why the sambar was hot and not the dosa? I was baffled with my understanding of heat and mass transfer between:
1) dosa and the ambient temperature and
2) the sambar and the ambient temperature and
3) my understanding of heat and mass transfer and thermodynamics in Rome…
I was too hungry to continue that discussion with the waiter.
This was also the first time that I saw a masala dosa, with the masala served OUTSIDE the cold dosa. (As pictured)
The thaali was far below average in taste and there was no South Indian, Chennai, Saravana Bhavan flavour. The paneer butter masala was oily and lacked depth of flavour. The kesari was overpriced for the portion size and underwhelming in taste. No surprise that it was also very cold. What an irony, they say that ‘Healthy, never tasted so good!’ (As pictured)
The ambience was also affected by the staff; the person taking orders at the front was quite rude and spoke very loudly in Malayalam to somebody throughout our meal, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the experience. The service overall was unfriendly. The waitresses were grumpy and seemed more focused on clearing our table than providing a welcoming experience. During the two out of our three visits, the restaurant was nearly empty, yet we were hurried out as if there was a line of people waiting. It gave the impression that they simply didn’t want us lingering, even when there was no reason to rush. It was not near the closing time.
On a positive note, the restaurant is conveniently located near Roma Termini, and the lassi was good, but that’s about all we can compliment.
We hope the management takes inspiration from the strong reputation of other international Saravana Bhavan branches. Also beware, walking down to the restrooms takes you through a very greasy stairway and corridor that can be slippery.

The food was amazing! We were really craving some authentic South Indian food and so glad we found this place. The Madras filter coffee, masala chai, idli vada sambar, and Mysore masala dosa were all so good!
The vibe was nice too, with soft instrumental music in the background.

Had an amazing experience at Saravanaa Bhavan in Rome – the food here is authentic, delicious, and full of flavor.
✔️ Idli – perfectly soft and fluffy, served with tasty chutneys and sambar.
✔️ Dosa – light, crispy, and cooked just right, with generous fillings.
✔️ Idli Vada – a great combo! The idli was soft while the vada was crispy outside and fluffy inside.
✔️ Vegetable Kadhai – rich, aromatic, and full of fresh vegetables in a flavorful gravy.
✔️ Dahi Vada – melt-in-the-mouth vadas with smooth, tangy yogurt and spices, very refreshing. It could have been little sweet. But overall was good.
✔️ Onion Uttapam – thick, fluffy, and topped generously with onions, delicious with chutneys.
The staff were warm and friendly, and the service was quick. If you’re in Rome and craving authentic Indian vegetarian food, this is definitely the place to visit!

Conveniently located close to Rome Termini station, just a 5 min walk. We ordered beer, Channa batura and veg biryani. All were very tasty, consistent with saravana bhavan quality. Service was very good. Enjoyed dining here.
