    Onion rava masala dosa
    Travis S.

    If you love crepes you will love this place. This was my first time having Dosa. More specifically I tried the onion rava masala dosa. It was amazing! I would love to come back here the next time I'm in Dallas.

    I've been to several Saravanaa Bhavan locations, and the food has never disappointed. I went on a weekday during brunch and got seated instantly since it wasn't crowded, but it was really hot inside. They need to improve the AC, especially with Texas heat and active kitchen space. Weekends get super busy with long wait times. We ordered filter coffee, medu vada, and different dosas and all of them were delicious. They also offer a weekend special menu with healthy millet options and a unique pistachio millet dessert. When it comes to service, I usually don't expect much from busy South Indian restaurants, but the server here was genuinely kind and attentive. I hope that continues on both weekdays and weekends.

    I have passed this place a bunch but finally came in to try it for lunch. There were a bunch of indian folks there which is always a good sign. The menu is massive and a bit overwhelming but i ended up getting the saravan special meal. It was fun to try a bunch of different things. I had no clue what anything was but i enjoyed it! I love getting to try a bunch of different things so it was perfect. Would be fun to know more of what i was eating. Some sauces and dips were mixed in and i didnt really know what was what. I will definitely have to come back and try more things but a simpler menu would be nice.

    We have been coming to this Saravana Bhavan since we moved nearby, and this restaurant is very much better than the Irving branch in both service and food. The service is really good and the food tastes amazing. The ambiance is quite ok. Sometimes they introduce new dishes to their menu too.

    I've visited twice and sampled palak paneer, mushroom biryani, gobi manchurian and an idly dish. All were good and spicy. I will say the to go portion seems small but fills me up. Friendly service. I'm going back to try Dosa's next.

    We've been watching the restaurant have a steady stream of people coming/going since it opened near us a few months ago and we finally had a chance to check it out. We're not well versed in Indian food (especially the vegetarian dishes) so we were hoping we'd have some help to guide us. We found the menu to be rather large so it was a bit overwhelming given our lack of experience. In fairness, we didn't ask our server for assistance, however, she didn't offer up help when we were struggling with her questions on the options we wanted with the dishes we selected and it was hard to understand her. We needed to ask for more water as she didn't come by and check on us with a regular frequency as the restaurant filled up. As for the food, we enjoyed what we tried. I went with the Palak Paneer which was described as a cottage cheese in a spinach paste. The cottage cheese was more along of the consistency of feta and it was delicious. It came with a side of naan bread to enjoy it with and really made for a great dish. My husband went with the Saravana Special Meal (we weren't clear which version we ordered - the poori or chappathi). It was fun to take the bread and dip it in to each of the small bowls of sauces/items as we didn't have familiarity in what they could be. There were some we liked more than others. The ambiance of the restaurant is open and cheery. We figure we'll return after doing some research on the traditional dishes and/or find a friend who has greater experience to join us!

    Amazing food! The service was excellent- the waitress was kind and patient enough to explain the different menu items to us. They continued to check up on us as we were eating to ensure everything was ok. Will definitely be back to try other items!

    Onion masala dosa
    Anisya N.

    I haven't been to a Saravanaa Bhavan in years but stopped by for lunch with my team at work. I ordered an onion masala dosa and all of our food came within ten minutes. The dosa came with four chutneys and some sambar. There was made out of I believe ginger that I didn't enjoy at all- it was too overpowering for my taste. I loved the remaining three chutneys, especially the coconut one. The dosa was flaky and crispy and they didn't skimp out on the tasty masala which was flavorful and not too spicy. The ambiance was pretty decent, nothing special but clean. You are getting a good value for money, this place is cheaper compared to other restaurants in the area and a good option for vegans/vegetarians. I will say, it took a long time for us to get our check. They collected our plates, got us to go boxes, and even a survey to fill out- but we waited fifteen minutes for the check and eventfully had to call someone else over for it since our server was nowhere to be found. Overall decent experience though!

    I was impressed with how crispy they made the mushrooms. So good! I had fun trying all the different flavors on the tray. I love room temperature water, so I liked that part, too. Giant, open space with quick, delicious food--more could you ask for?

    Plain dosa
    Amy H.

    Delicious idli, dosa, adai with avial, and poori with potato masala and korma. Huge menu. Food came out quickly. Good service. Korma was a bit mushy -- more like a sauce than a curry. That's my only complaint. Dosa came with 4 chutneys (!) and sambhar. Loved having avial as it's not super common.

    Mysore Masala Dosa
    Anil Y.

    Ordered a mysore masala dosa and chana bhatura! The chana bhatura was really good, and the masala dosa was great as well. Some of the chutneys could have been better. They also have a pretty big seating area. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for some healthy South Indian cuisine.

    Our first time. They have wonderful dosa and lots of dishes on the menu. Their chutneys are a bit too salty for my taste. Hubby loves this place so much that he went back again the next day with his friend.

    Palak Paneer with Butter Naan

    Amazing food, it was fun to eat the Chana Batura with a friend and share and dip together. Delicious food and the waitress was patient to explain to us what the options are. Everything was delicious and it was a good time trying it for the first time and I didn't miss meat at all that meal! They even gave us free reign over the water and refilled when necessary, which I value not having to flag them down each time.

    We got the kids meal butter chicken which came with a decent amount. It was Sooo good. The chicken…read moretikka was good too, just not nearly as amazing as the butter chicken. The goat biryani was decent but felt like it was missing something we couldn't quite put our finger on. We also tried the crispy chicken sandwich and didn't care for it, and the samosa chaat was just okay. Overall, we would definitely come back for the butter chicken alone, it was that good!

    There's a Bawarchi in our home city in Jersey, so we chose to come here instead of trying out the…read moreother Indian restaurant close by. We're so glad we did! The service and the food here are both amazing! My husband and I stopped in late last night just before closing and the staff was SO friendly. Talking to them was definitely a highlight. We tried the samosas, onion pakoda, chili garlic paneer appetizer (recommended by John), butter paneer entree, and lamb tikka masala. It all smelled so delicious on the drive home we honestly had to open up our appetizer in the car- it was SO good! Tasted like a chinese or korean dish to me and the flavor made me feel like I was devouring boneless wings except it was paneer! The portions were reasonable and everything was priced as expected, but the flavors perfectly satisfied our craving for good Indian food. We didn't get to try the chai, which apparently so many people come here for. While waiting for our food, at least 5 people came in just for the chai which was unfortunately sold out. Looking forward to trying it next time!
