Hotel Saravana Bhavan

After a long time, I had some wonderful south Indian food. This site is gold. The chutneys and sambhar are wonderful. My friend tried Tamil Nadu thali and immediately fell in love with it. They have several options to pick from.
I had the Almond Lemon Mint Drink, which was incredibly refreshing and tasty. On weekends, the place gets crowded, and you may have to wait for 30 to 45 minutes.

This is a highly recommended authentic South Indian restaurant situated in Connaught Place. You can order any South Indian food including combo meals. This restaurant provides North Indian food as well so you can try that also but I suggest South Indian food.
Food was awesome and specially if you are vegetarians.
Good place for family outings.
The only disadvantage is that the waiting time is too long because of less seating capacity specially on weekends so if you are going on weekends then reserve your seat on the restaurant gate and you have to wait for at least 20-30 minutes outside the restaurant.

Delicious, tasty and healthy food choices are available at the heart of the capital city - Connaught place @ New Delhi.. You need to wait for the entry at least 10 min to 30 min based on the peak hour rush.. But it's worth waiting and the food served are of very high quality and hygienic as well.. South Indian dosa varieties are a must try and also the meals (thali) are awesome and delicious..

Authentic tamilian food. Same taste as I had in Chennai.
All dishes like dosa, idli, and sambhar are tasty. Bit Overcrowded. There is a waiting time.

Little costly if you compare with restaurants in south India. 2 dosa + 1 idli plate cost 500+
Same you can get within 200/-

Anyways Go for it... This taste we usually don't get in North.

Best south indian food I've had in Delhi. Good service and atmosphere. Little crowded. Being a south Indian, I felt that the place is a bit costly. About 200-300pp was spend.

Saravana Bhavan is a beautiful place for South Indian cuisine that is filled with the aroma of Ghee and myriad spices. We ordered mini tifin with chai It was steaming hot and delicious. during my morning walk visit @ Cp with my Daughter.

Always a lot of waiting time here, minimum 30 minutes. But the food is undoubtedly good.

Food was awesome and specially if you are vegetarians.

Idli were genuine rice idlis and were soft and fluffy and vadai was crisp to my liking, the sambhar stood out among all and was quite refreshing.
Price was justified by the quantity
Paid 142 rupees for the meal.

Great food and met one of the best worker in the restaurant, she happily sang us as song and my family loved it. However she got in trouble from one of the supervisor for singing.
Would come back again and would love to see that worker again.
Hopefully she still have a job as end of the day its all about the customer service and customers great experience.
Thank you for giving us a good experience.

If you want to experience South Indian food this restaurant will never disappoint you. They took hygiene really very seriously so dont worry about this aspect as well.
Staff is very professional
They have some awesome seasonal Juice, shakes/smoothies, Sweets as well.
If you are visiting for lunch after 2-2:30pm you can find 10-15 minutes waiting.
Seating arrangements are also very comfortable.
Apart from waiting most probably you will not find any other complaint, I visited so many times at least I never find any other complaint. I hope you will enjoy your time here.

Shree Saravana Bhavan in CP, Delhi, offers an exquisite South Indian dining experience with a delectable menu that truly satisfies the taste buds. The flavors are authentic, and the quality of ingredients is evident in every dish. Despite the consistently delicious food, be prepared for a waiting time of 20-25 minutes, a testament to its popularity. The anticipation is well worth it, as the dining experience at Shree Saravana Bhavan is a delightful culinary journey into the heart of South Indian cuisine.

After a long hiatus, my wife and I revisited the iconic Sarwana Bhawan in Connaught Place and were delighted to find that the experience was like catching up with an old friend. We dined there on a weekday evening and had to wait for around 15 minutes. We ordered dosa, ghee pongal, rawa pongal, and a refreshing mint-based drink, all of which tasted good and were served promptly. However, I couldn't help but feel that the food tasted better on my previous visits, perhaps due to my more refined taste buds honed by sampling dishes across India over the past decade. It's possible that the quality may have declined slightly as well. Nonetheless, Sarwana Bhawan remains an excellent option for families seeking authentic South Indian cuisine at a restaurant.

Have been here twice for dinner (on Mondays) and the experience has been amazing!

South Indian thali was my choice during the first visit and Chettinad Masala Dosa & Almond-Mint Nannari the second time. Love the food both times. Staff is efficient and kind. Place is clean despite being crowded. Gonna go a third time to try idli and uttapams.

Authentic south Indian at reasonable prices and great portions.

Oh the craze and love for this place!
Food is authentic south Indian, oh so delicious. It's THE PLACE FOR SOUTH INDIAN FOOD LOVERS. Must visit!!! Totally Recommended. Family friendly, pocket friendly, great staff, nice atmosphere..Absolutely worth every single second of waiting to get a table outside.
Yes, you'll have to register your name to a guy standing outside and then wait for your turn to come. It may take 20-30 minutes depends on the queue. There's no online reservation you'll have to appear there physically and they'll call your name on the turn if you don't show up in the 3 time call it's considered cancelled since this branch is very busy. Trust me it's worth it. You may order on Swiggy as well.

Being a South Indian, I loved having authentic Tamil tiffin and snacks here. Lovely food, it makes me uplifting after having such food after a long gap. Definitely would recommend others to try it at least once.

Wow, your hotel was absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the stunning decor and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. The room was so cozy and comfortable, and the view from the window was breathtaking. And let's not forget about the delicious food at the hotel restaurant - it was a culinary delight! I can't wait to visit again and experience the incredible hospitality. 🌟🏨😍

Have been vising this place for more than 17yrs. It is my go to place for authentic South Indian food. They serve variety of dosas uttapam and rice. Not all variety rice is served everyday they have rice of the day, only curd rice is served everyday along with rice of the day. The unlimited thali is super loaded thali and more than enough for one person but sadly they don't allow sharing. Mini tiffin is a good option as it has a small dosa, small uttapam idli vada and pongal so a little portion of all breakfast item in a platter. Yes last but not the least don't forget the spl filter kappi to end it on a sweet note 😊Once again their servings are quite sufficient and at the same time they are very reasonably priced.

Awesome South Indian food.. must visit.. missed to take pictures inside of the store.

Amazing place to dine-in if you're in Delhi nd in search of South Indian food. I bet you won't be getting any better than this place. It's just that you have to wait as it gets soo crowed in the evening time after 7 PM.
Tip: Chettinad Spicy Masala Dosai is a must try.
Believe me you won't regret !

For pure & authentic South Indian Food this is the best place in Delhi one could have. Reasonable Rates. Top notch quality. All south Indian food, Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner available. Must try their locally made sweets they are really dissolve in your mouth instantly. Lunch & Dinner are the peak time where you could face rush & waiting too. We tried South Indian Thai which had 16 items in small quantity but as a whole thali I could hardly have had it. Dosa was great.
This restaurant has global chains & famous for their historic south Indian flavour dishes.
Parking (paid) is available
Card payment available.
Restroom should be spacious & Gender based separately.
Must try.
Highly recommended.

The service was excellent. The queue was very well organised. The place is very clean. We tried Dosa and Itli which were delicious. The ambient is relaxed even you are in Connaught place.
