Hotel Saravana Bhavan

Devendra Dudheria 23 months ago

Hello Tamil Nadu,

I am traveller from Hyderabad, exploring places suggested by the internet and posting reviews on my trip to Puducherry

3 Pillars of a good restaurant

1. Taste - Being the most famous restaurant of TamilNadu, Sarvana bhavan does have the most authentic south indian food of all times. This ofcourse doesn’t mean that its the best south indian restaurant.

Sambar and Coffee - The greatest must try items. Sambar idli and filter coffee of this place is exceptional. Ghee dosa tasted good but somehow I personally felt that there was a lot of Palm-oil too.

2. Ambience - Needs to work on it big time. Basics like the tables and chairs are not cleaned. The bathroom is shady and unhygienic. Juice counter is a nightmare. They are not a cheap restaurant chain and are expected to better maintain the place

3. Price - I can’t say its over priced on a menu level. Ordered 3 dosas and 2 idlis and 3 coffees and the bill was 800
So 800 for 5 people on an overall basis for the taste and ambience is not justified but is acceptable because of the brand value

Like if you find it helpful ❤️

We tried poori, sambar vada and mini tiffen. Quality was great, thankfully this branch isn't as bad as other SB's which is going towards a downfall. But just as we thought everything was decent, we had filter coffee which was very bad. Had too much chicory due to which it was very bitter.

Then we got the bill, was shocked to see the price. Mini tiffen was 150, when you can get same or better mini tiffen at their own competition. Like A2B, Akshayam, Sangeetha etc. Total bill was 380. Could be priced definitely lower for the quality of food and interior hygiene.
