Saravana Bhavan — Restaurant in New Delhi

Have been to Sarvanaa Bhavan a couple of times earlier too. Every time I come here I decide that next time I will visit some other south Indian restaurant but somehow we come to this place, at last.

What do you order first when in a south Indian restaurant? Obviously, dosa. The dosa at Sarvanaa Bhavan is tempting at first glance but you get disappointed when you find the filling too meagre. You get three types of chutneys and sambar. Remember, no refills. So be careful and manage with all the stuff that has been served to you.

I am finding a strange trend coming up these days. Restaurants are becoming thrifty in servings while on price front they do not hesitate to increase it as when they find it good. Has profitability become more important in food catering which too is part of service sector. How much chutney can be served in that small groove of your plate and how much of sambar do you get in that tiny katori (steel bowl)! Indeed, food catering has now become a good profitable business these days.

I tried the south Indian Thali which came with several small katoris containing different vegetables. You get three pooris, a bowl of rice, papad and pickle.

The vegetables were good and gave me authentic south Indian taste. Now my take on pooris. First of all, not the right Idea to serve three pieces. In India the number of three is not treated with respect. S it makes no sense to sevre three; it could be two large pieces or should have been four in quantity. Secondly, the pooris were wafer-lite. When all three disappeared from my plate I myself could not understand.

The vegetables in Thali were very very hot and I kept sipping water with each bite. Too many small pieces of round dry red chillies. Very hot. Not recommended for small children.

We tried to have something different and ordered a plate of parotta with kurma. One plate consists of three small parottas with little kurma, or south Indian vegetable. The quantity of kurma was again small and I missed raita and pickle as well.

The butter milk is good, chilled and filling.

The ambience is decent with no background music. I found air-conditioning a little weak.

Overall, good place for one or two visits. I think nobody would prefer to make repeated visits to Sarvanaa Bhavan.
