Great service by Kamal Hassan! The food was so yum and tasted authentic! My taste buds took a trip back to India!
Fantastic food and great customer service. Kamala Hasan was serving us and he was great.
Excellent Customer Service. Especially by Kamalhassan. They Treat Customers as their own Family.
Great place to get authentic South Indian food. Awesome service by Mr.Kamal Hassan. Will definitely come back for more! š
Food was amazing. Chettinad dosa, pongal, filter coffee and specifically sambar was really good. Service was good too. Kamal hassan was friendly and treated us well.
Great food! Fresh ingredients, tidy and well laid out dining area with a tasteful decor. Prices are reasonable too! Their range of dosas is endless and I havent yet found a bad one. Kathi rolls are also great so are the other South Indian dishes on offer! Must visit!
The overall experience was good. Staff is polite and helpful.
Food is tasty, mild spicy food was served for my 4 yrs kid, he was very happy š
We ordered dosa, idali sambhar, and kids platter in lunch. We liked the food so we went again and had our dinner as well and ordered veg thali and chapatis. Chapatis were really awesome as we eat at home š
I was really happy with the food and thankful for the staff for taking on board my preferences of the palak curry to be vegan and mild. Really appreciated how we could place an online order but specify we want to dine-in so that the food was ready when we arrived. Itās really helpful to save us ordering time! The staff who served us were really polite and friendly too, I note their nicknames being the moon and the star.
Aiming to come back regularly!
My soul just satisfied with this authentic south Indian breakfast buffet.
I loved everything they served and good service as well.
Try to skip the very corner table at the restaurant, they usually cant see you over there and it would hard to get the live dishes like puri and dosa.
I highly recommend trying this restaurant for an authentic South Indian culinary experience. During my visit, I had the pleasure of ordering the mushroom kathi roll, which proved to be a delightful and flavorful dish. The combination of spices used in the preparation provided a satisfying level of spiciness, while showcasing the rich and diverse flavors of South Indian cuisine. Although the dish had a slightly oily texture, it is worth noting that a judicious amount of oil can enhance the overall taste by complementing the spices. The chef's dedication to their craft, coupled with their evident passion, is truly commendable. I encourage everyone to visit this establishment and indulge in the delicious and remarkable offerings it has to offer.
The staff at the restaurant were exceptionally pleasant and amiable. Their warm and friendly demeanor added to the overall positive dining experience.!!š
South Indian flavours in Auckland! Quality has improved with food since my last visit which was 2 years ago. Madras Filter Coffee is good but there is room for improvement.
My husband and I walked past this restaurant and thought why not have early dinner there. It's the best decision we made during our 2-night stay in Auckland about a month ago! As we entered, we felt transported to India as the aroma of South Indian food filled the air. We simply enjoyed every bite of our meal. The service was good too. The next morning before leaving Auckland, we had no other restaurant in mind but this, and we had their breakfast buffet. Again, the food didn't disappoint us! Simply authentic South Indian food, and very friendly and helpful staff. We kept talking about the restaurant to friends when we got back to Wellington. We're not sure when our next trip to Auckland is but we're already looking forward to having another meal there! Keep it up, guys!
Visit to enjoy an authentic South Indian delicacy. Had awesome time.
The overall dining experience was satisfactory, with the food being of good quality. However, I found the pricing to be on the higher side in relation to the value for money. The Masala Dosa size did not align with the authentic Sharavana Bhavan style.
I've assigned a rating of 2 stars for the atmosphere. In terms of personal preference, I appreciate the traditional way of ordering through a server, as it feels more personal and allows for suggestions on the day's special dish. This aspect of interaction, akin to my experiences at Saravana Bhavan and other Indian restaurants, seems to be missing. The current ordering system feels more like a fast-food setup, where orders are placed through a kiosk and delivered to the table.
Recently, my husband and I spent 4 weeks in Auckland and surrounding areas. Food has been a disappointment for the most part. Thankfully, Saravanaa Bhavan truly saved us from the misery of Aucklandās overcooked meat and seafood. Their dishes are always consistent in taste and quality. The second we came across it, we knew we would get some good, authentic South Indian food and that we got what we expected!
South Indian Filter Coffee! Need I say more? I couldnāt stop at one. Had to have two at the least. Rasam, Idly, Vada, Sambar, Rava Dosa, Utthappum and Pongal were all good. Surprisingly, their North Indian dishes were not too bad. We ordered Aloo Gobi and Dahl Makhani and both were decent.
We had a nice lunch here. The service was a little bit slow but delicious food.
You have to wait to be seated and then thereās a QR code at the table to scan, order and pay for your food.
