    These three chutneys or (dips) are amazing green one is chilli hot and the others are joghurt and jaggery based.

    I liked the service and the ambience ! two things i look for as much as the food. And food was amazing too! So I ordered the starters or appetizers and you have good options (fried stuff though). You get Papad for free the first serve and then the next each will. Ost you 50 cent which is ok. Main course, I ordered Paneer jalfrezi (extra spicy) and Malai Kofta ( sweet as expected but rich and awesome) with Garlic Nan ! Garlic Nan is to DIE FOR ! Amazing ! Food comes fast but i guess it depends on the time you go and the season.( I went at 10 evening in JAN).... Also Chicken Tandoori and Lamm Biryani were awesome and should be tried once. Spices are adjustable upon request so dont cancel your Indian Food Adventure just because you think you will destroy the Thunder Bucket next day morning.. Choices of beer are less but are there.. Mango Lassi is good too and also could be taken as take aways (200 ml..small ) At the end you get a Mango Liquor as complimentary. Which tasted ok.. If you like vegetarian or Non Vegetarian expect a good meal for 15 Euros (average). Must Try Restaurant !

    Probably the best Indian restaurant I have been so far in Berlin. Very popular place. Staff was very courtesy. The chutney was DELICIOUS and the naan, too. Authentic dishes and really good taste of spices. My girlfriend and I are going here every two weeks.

    Visited on 17/01/2016 It's a good restaurant, I've tried it a couple of times because it's quite close to my location Inside is very dark, probably too much, the only light is coming from the candles. The area is pretty large, there is an underground floor too, very very romantic The service is ok and gentle in this place; you can pay with the card The food is in line with other indians in my opinion. I still need to find one indian able to surprise me. My favourite indian dish ever is the Lamm curry. They serve an acceptable one here, but the lamm meat sometimes is tender sometimes not Their Puri is too fried but tastes nice. Also some chicken dishes are appetizing and delicate Please, don't put cardamom pods hidden inside the rice cup; it's ok for the people who like it, it's a nightmare for the ones who don't Price is completely ok and a mango drink is offered in the end Recommended

    Delicious, but not outstanding. Usual choice of Indian dishes, a little short on the Southern variety. Friendly staff. Service is somewhat slow.

    Portions were good and food was delicious. Sitting outside for dinner was a highlight for a native San Franciscan!

    Saravanaa Bhavan is one of the great Indian restaurant chains of the world…read more The West is finally starting to appreciate what Saravanaa Bhavan has been trying to do all along. Most great cities now have rivals to Saravanaa Bhavan that command respect. The fact that there are other centers of excellence out there does nothing to diminish Saravanaa Bhavan's historical accomplishment. * * * Saravanaa Bhavan is a chain of South Indian vegetarian restaurants in Chennai that expanded first across India itself, and then followed the Indian diaspora to set up satellite restaurants all over the world. The number of Saravanaa Bhavan's in a city reflects less the overall stature of a city in the global urban hierarchy and more reflects the size of the South Indian population that has migrated to that city. Berlin has one Saravanaa Bhavann. The Dallas Metro area has three. Berlin outranks Dallas in the Global Cities Hierarchy But Dallas has the large population of Tamil immigrants. That said, the successful implantation of Saravanaa Bhavan's all over the world is impressive. They operate nearly 100 restaurants in twenty eight different countries not counting their substantial operations in India itself. * * * Saravanaa Bhavan's culinary accomplishment was twofold. a) They introduced much of the world to South Indian vegetarian food. In much of the world, they would have been the first restaurant to serve dosas, idli, and the distinctive South Indian rather than north Indian curries. b) They introduced much of the world to Indian Chinese food - the reinterpretation of Chinese food that was developed in India. Gobi Manchurian - one of the most intoxicating dishes on the planet - would have had its first serving in many cities in a Saravanaa Bhavan. Their menu was huge. They included North Indian as well as South Indian specialties. You could eat at a Saravanaa Bhavan for weeks and never repeat a dish. And the execution was absolutely positively excellent. Nearly everything that came out of their kitchen was to die for. * * * Saravanaa Bhavan is just as good today as it ever was. However, as the flow of South Indian immigrant professionals grew and grew, the number of South Indian immigrant restauranteurs grew as well. There was money to be made serving the great dishes from home ... And more and more people went to the exotic cities of the world to re-create those fine South Indian dishes in foreign locations. So now all of those cities have many places you can go where you can get absolutely wonderful South Indian and Indian-Chinese vegetarian dishes. I live in Austin, Texas which does not have a Saravanaa Bhavan - but has a vast number of South Indian software engineers, professors and doctors. They eat at Sangam Chettinad which is an absolutely superlative establishment. * * * That said, I will always grab a chance to eat at a Saravanaa Bhavan if there is one in the city I am in. One tip that may be helpful. Don't put your food on the white rice that accompanies most of their dishes. The flavors of Saravanaa Bhavan's dishes are so wonderful that you do not want to dilute them. Putting their food on plain rice is like serving their food on Wonder Bread. Eating their stuff straight up though is like dying and going to heaven. Except that the next day you get reincarnated and can do the same thing again.

    It was a fairly busy day and the service could have been better. But the food was amazing. The…read morekurma with the parotta is a must try. My friend who had a dosa for the first time was completely satisfied with the dosa. The chutneys were fantastic as well and the idlis were oh so fluffy. Overall the food is an accurate representation of south Indian fare and I would recommend anyone to try it
