Sambhar (Lentil Curry/Soup) and Chutneys were disappointing - Edit
Friday dinner time it was busy at Saravanaa Bhavan. Have visited this location after a long time. Been to different SBs in giver other countries as well. None of them have been disappointing. None of the items are clearly marked vegan but the server went into the kitchen multiple times to check - prefer to have clearly marked vegan options in a Vegetarian restaurant.
Read moreThe Vegan Gobi Manchurian was OK. Not greasy. Crispy cauliflower florets in a crispy red batter. But the it was a bit dry for us and the batter was very less spicy and under seasoned as well.
The Vegan Bajji Platter was also less than OK. All too greasy except for Medu Vada. The plantain bajji, the chilli bajji (not spicy at all). The onion and potatoe bajjis were OK.
The Ghee Pongal - Family enjoyed it. Thankfully the vegan Rava Masala Dosa was good. Good amount of Masala inside. The dosa crispy. The Mini Tiffin was saviour as well. Mostly vegan except for Rava Kesari. The Upma and Masala Dosas were great and Mini Idlis good.
In all the sambhar and chutneys provided were not the usual. We found the sambhar a bit watered down and less spicy and seasoned. Even the chutneys were too runny and less seasoned and spicy. After our meal the server came multiple times to see if we were done so that they can accommodate the next customer. Felt rushed.

Very Rude Arrogant behaviour of the Manager Dinesh - Edit
I give this Saravan Bhavan location in Missisauga a ZERO and will never recommend it to anyone. My name is sk (647-228-6828 and email skt328@yahoo.com), my family has been eating at the location since last few years and have never felt so humiliated. The Manager Dinesh is highly arrogant and has rude behavior, we questioned the taste of the dosa ordered by us, and Dinesh had the audacity to say " I ate it in the morning it is fine and if you did not like it. I don't care, this is what you get " and when I said I would like to complain to the owners , he says " I don't care , go and do what you want ". this attitude is totally unacceptable. I hope the owners of the Saravan Bhavan look into the complaint if they want satisfied customers and the location to run business and not close down. I Wish the owners should make the manager apologize to the customer for his rudeness and high arrogant behavior.

Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! - Edit
Absolutely LOVED the food! Authentic, delicious South-Indian cuisine, and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be going back! Only negative point was that it took a little while for the servers to realise we hadn't placed our order yet. As soon as we did, however, the food came out quickly. Tasty, fresh, and hot! Loved it! Thank you Saravana Bhavan!
Read morePros: Exceptional food
Cons: Wait for order to be taken, Lighting too bright

Excellent, exotic, and vegan-friendly - Edit
We went to this restaurant having never heard a thing about it. We were extremely impressed. I've been a fan of Indian food for close to twenty years, but I have never had Indian food like this before. So many of the dishes were new to me and they were all tasty. The server was knowledgeable and friendly. She happily explained the different dishes and was very willing to substitute vegan items for those which contain dairy.
Read moreThe food was delicious, plentiful, and almost shockingly inexpensive. I had the combo platter (the dinner special), which came with rice, two papadums, two poori, and about eight small containers of various curries. I loved them all and had plenty left over to take home.
Even though its well out of our way, we will definitely go back to this restaurant.
Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Large portions
Cons: Hard to tell what is vegan and what isn'

I agree with the first reviewer - Edit
I've eaten at other South Indian joints in Toronto and Mississauga, and this one is by far the tastiest and cleanest, too. They will happily substitute vegan items for vegetarian items wherever possible, which is a big plus. Most places just take them out and charge the same.

Excellent South Indian Food - Edit
Can't believe I'm the first one to write a review of this extraordinary South Indian place. The best South Indian I've had (and there's plenty of good stuff in and around Toronto). Everything is great: crispy dosa, idli, vada, and those fascinating condiments. All very fresh, and just spicy enough for my taste. Perfect for vegans: everything is cooked in oil, not ghee, and anything dairy is pretty obvious (raita, yogurt rice, curd, lassi, creamy desserts). The "tomato omelette" is made with chickpea flour, not eggs: try it and blow your mind. If you're not familiar with this type of food, this place will spoil you forever! Part of a chain that has branches around Toronto, Vancouver, NYC, Atlanta, and LA, and in UK, UAE, Oman, India, Malaysia, and Singapore.
