Reviews for SARAVANAA BHAVAN in Edison, NJ
Now, if you’re in Edison, you’re bound to visit this place. Either your overly ambassadoring friend pestered you, or you... read the most illustrious reviews on Google, you end up visiting the place. Well, impartial reviewer that I am, I still say thatthe place deserves the honor it’s been showered upon. The food is impeccably scrumptious, the serving size is unbelievablyperfect and the food standards are as high as they can be. With this monopoly, I don’t lie, they have stretched the prices abit higher than what I believe they can be, but alas, who else worries about the extra bucks you spend for an amazinglyauthentic South Indian cuisine at your Edison doorstep!

I feel the quality has been degraded so much when it comes to all the chutneys and sambar. None of the chutneys and sambar were... edible because all of them has SO MUCH SALT. Even the idli's were soaked in sambar and we're so bitter. Quick note: noteveryone who is getting food from here loves Salt... Bottom line:.. They should now change the name from SaravAnna bhavan toSALTY bhavan Read more
We have been coming to this location from last few years and the food and service was excellent, today after a long time we... decided to bring some friends for good food, and what a disaster, They have the most clueless staff, the food was absolutely adisaster, how can samber be cold? We all ordered food with Samber and it was room temperature, medhu vada was full of oil? Theydon’t take the orders from you anymore, you need to use the phone, after ordering they bring the food at intervals, and nobodyever came to check if everything is okay? and they automatically add gratuity?

Food was good and service was very fast. Every thing you have to order from your phone. Only thing that disappointed me was they... were charging for water. Only bottled water was available for 50 cents each. Nice ambiance and has good amount of parking infront of restaurant. Read more
Food was good. Loved the spice level on the chili chutney. The surprise was pineapple rasam, yummy. The online ordering and... payment was so good. I feel some clients who are technologically challenged may find it hard it without a menu to look at. Read more
We were on a road trip to East coast from MN. Authentic South Indian restaurants like these are rare in the Midwest. And they... all invariably serve a brown color watery liquid masquerading as Madras Filter Coffee and they swear by their life that it is afreshly brewed Kaapi. So, when we decided on an East Coast trip, the very first thing on our list was not Niagra, not TimesSquare, but to have a proper Kaapi at HSB (Hotel Saravanbhavan). For starters, HSB is one of the biggest chains of restaurantsin Chennai, India. The brand is more like an identify of the city. Although, HSB is losing its sheen at home, their restaurantsin the US still have the same charm. We were here on the day of Christmas for Lunch time and they had South Indian Thali aswell as the default South Indian breakfast items - Idli, Pongal, Dosai and Vadai. They were served in a traditional way on aBanana Leaf. Washed it all down with 2 Coffees (yes, they were so good that I ended up having 2) The Vibes this place wasgiving, the presentation of food and the amalgamation of aromas of Sambar and Kaapi immediately transported me back to myChennai days, where having a Sambar Vadai and sipping a Kaapi in HSB was all the fuel you needed to kickstart the day in Tidelpark (My office location).The restaurant was packed. But considering the crowd, the service was pretty fast. Pricing is high,but given the authenticity, taste and the quality, I do not mind this burning a hole in my pocket once a while. H We have beento the ones in Lexington Avenue and West Windsor. Although we didn't have any complaints over there, this is our favorite of thelot. Highly recommended if you are looking for some authentic South Indian Tamil style food. Read more
I simply loved this place. I loved it for so many reasons like ambience, quality of food, cleanliness, authentic South Indian... food, the quick service and digital way to place and pay for your order. I definitely recommend this place. #satisfiedSoul#satisfiedTummy Read more
One thing I do have to commend is their end to end customer experience which is entirely touchless. You order your food like you... would in an online order and checkout/complete payment before leaving. We ended up going on a weekend so the restaurant wasquite busy; having said that, waiting time was bare minimum. Food was good esp the sambar rice. Would certainly recommend theplace for vegetarian Indian cuisine. Read more
