    Today I and my son had Breakfast - Onion Chilli Oothappam and Onion Chilli Masala Dosa. The food was amazing with sambhar. I also took to go for my family.

    A good place to go to for South Indian cuisine, with affordable pricing. But the service and food delivery is really bad. The service is poor at the Irving branch and need to call and wait for a minimum of 5 minutes to order. The service can be improved.

    Saravana Bhavan has been an all time favorite of people who like Indian vegetarian food. The chain has made its presence known all over the world. The Irving location was pretty crowded for a Sunday afternoon. We ordered some food which was delivered promptly and the quality was pretty good. They are not super expensive. If you are looking for casual indian vegetarian food, I recommend this place.

    Their dosas are very good. Mango lassis are the best and idly is perfect. Waiters are all nice and have good customer service. I'd recommend coming earlier in the day on weekends as they can get seriously busy, fast.

    Masala Dosa
    Shirin L.

    This place is really good for their South Indian dishes. We tried a few different things from their plain uttapam, veg uttapam, masala dosa, mysore masala dosa, idli, mysore bonda, and coffee. Everything was excellent! They were quick in taking our orders and bringing out the food. They definitely need to do a better job of keeping their restrooms clean since it is a family friendly restaurant and there were quite a few kids there. The restaurant, however, is quite clean.

    I love visiting Dallas exclusively bc of all the amazing Indian and Mediterranean food. Saravanaa is a well oiled machine and we were in and out if there in 20 mins once seated. Food came out almost immediately and was delish as always. It's always busy but they move fast so give it a shot!

    Had idly and dosa. Was served immediately so I think they were prepared beforehand. So they got cold. Taste was okay.

    Cheese Masala Dosa

    Came here on a busy Sunday, but we were quickly seated. My friend and I ordered the cheese masala dosa and the thali of the day. The dosa was tasty and made well, but the chutneys accompanying it didn't have much flavor. I'm the thali, I enjoyed the desert a lot. The remaining items were simple and good dishes. Overall the food and service were just ok. I don't think I'd come back for a second visit.

    Masala Dosa

    Saravanaa Bhavan is a vegetarian lovers paradise! They have a premium selection and extensive variety of dishes. The ample portions will leave you feeling full and satisfied. Everything our group had was delicious! If you only try 1 or 2 things get the Paneer Butter Cheese Masala Dosa & Channa Batura. Trust me you won't regret it. Whether you're a carnivore or vegetarian, I would definitely recommend you try this spot if you're in the area.

    Masala Dosa
    Holly Z.

    AMAZING. Heard so many good things about this place and it definitely exceeded my expectations. This was my first time trying dosa and I loved it! So light and airy, and the masala was so good! The serving size was also sufficiently large, and for less than $10! Very authentic as well. Would definitely return for more!

    Came with high anticipation of good food but I didn't really like the kothu parotta although the idli/vada and masala dosa were decent. The service was quick and place was clean.

    We came here two Saturdays ago for dinner and had a really great experience! When we first arrived,…read morethe restaurant was fairly empty, but it definitely picked up throughout the evening and had a great energy by the time we left. I'm a huge chaat girl, so we ordered the Pani Puri and the Spinach Chaat to start. The Pani Puri was amazing! My only preference would have been for all six pieces to come with the traditional water. Three of them came with a different variation, which was still good -- just not my personal favorite. The Spinach Chaat was also really good, although I was expecting it to be a little lighter and found it to be somewhat heavier than anticipated. My favorite appetizer was the Goat Kabob - it was prepared very well. For dinner, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was excellent. We decided to skip dessert and grab something elsewhere, but overall, we had a wonderful experience. It's so nice to have an elevated Indian restaurant like this in the Flower Mound area. We're already looking forward to coming back, and I can't wait to bring the rest of my family next time!

When we visited the restaurant had an engagement party and multiple guests on their banquet area. The service is good and prompt. The restaurant does get busy and seen party of 10 or more as well as family friendly. So call ahead and book if you prefer not to wait. We did not order drinks but the menu suggested this is more apt for people who enjoy drinks as they have a well equipped items as well as a full bar i think. However we got water and the water was bad and almost unhealthy. We even asked to switch and get new glass but after few minutes the water tasted bad. They do sell Fiji water and other drinks on one menu though. Food was the main reason we had decided to be there and the Holden Pomfret Fish appetizer was excellent. We loved it! However the rest of dishes did not impress at all and fell flat Chicken tikka masala and Awadhi Biryani we ordered sound ed delicious and i liked it but my Son did not. Naan were great and we ordered Dal makhani and we had much much better ones. All in all a good vibe place for more drinks friendly atmosphere than for foodies.

I haven't had vada pav sliders before but the filling is kind of like fried samosa filling without the dough. It's good. The serving size of the biryani was very impressive. You can see from the photo that they fill the container and then add another mound of rice on top of that - basically 2 servings (we took one home). And they didn't skimp on the chicken either! The chicken is cooked perfectly, the sauces are a great complement and this is an excellent dish. The Lunch Thali gives you a lot of bang for your buck and mine included ~5 pieces of fish fry, about the same amount of veg pakora, yogurt dip, chicken curry with rice, 2 different soups, a naan/tortilla thing, and a carrot dessert (like a halwa). All had good flavor and the soups have a nice spicy kick to them. However, since all the dishes for the thali come off the lunch line (ie all premade), the tortilla, fish and pakoras had been sitting out for awhile and not too hot. Had they come out fresh from the fryer, I might have given this experience 5 stars. As it stands, I'll probably be back for lunch anyways - and the thali is available 7 days a week!

When I brought to the waiter, she said she would take the feedback to the kitchen and that they added the water to make the spicy goat curry that I ordered "not spicy". It seems to me like a tactic for cutting down portions, because if I asked for spicy, and I always get it one way, why suddenly add water ? Without me even complaining first that it is too spicy? I initially loved this place because of the quality. The Goat Curry was superb, the meat was incredibly tender and the curry itself was so rich and flavorful. It paired perfectly with the fresh Naan and Roti. I also really enjoyed the Mixed Pakora to start, and finishing the meal with their Chai and Gulab Jamun was the perfect ending. Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. It was a huge space and i loved the booth seating for my friend and I.
