Odd venue, but delicious dosa

The ordering system is kind of weird here, we got directed to a table, then told to scan a QR code and order. The code directed us to order by ‘pick up’, until someone realised our table wasn’t officially open. I tried the masala dosa - it was amazing. Just a shake about the weird ordering system - let me order with a real person please.

Pros: Food was delicious

Cons: Menu didn’t say what was dairy free, Impersonal ordering system

Great place for south Indian food

Dosas are great! I enjoyed the south Indian thali too. Recently been revamped and the decor is good.

Delicious

I ordered the makani Dahl, asked for a spicy one. One of the best Indian Dahl dishes I’ve had in ages. Really great menu, order from the qr on the table so plenty of time to decide. Definitely recommend

Pros: Clean, Quick service , Good choice of dishes

Delicious!

We ordered iddly, cheese dosa and a vegetable dish I forgot the name of. Tasty, generous portions and such quick, polite service.

The masala coffee was great, too!

The ambience is cafeteria-style, not so homey, but the food....!

Delicious Dosa

We were delighted to find this vegetarian oasis in Auckland. In fact, it was easy if you asked any local. They all knew about this fabulous place and pointed us in the right direction. And Saravanaa Bhavan was open New Year's Day too! We ordered masala dosa and drooled over the other plates that went by as we waited for our food. Authentic batter, perfectly cooked and spiced filling, sambar (we asked for a second bowl), and three kinds of chutney. I really wish I took a photo - the plate was beautiful.

Pros: excellent authentic food, walking distance from anywhere downtown, friendly service and happy customers too

Cons: there were no cons in our experience

Yummy South Indian

The food is authentic and delicious. Especially the coconut chutneys, the Idlis are super soft. Excellent vegan options and reasonable priced.

Authentic South Indian food

Fourth time and this place never fails to satisfy. Go for the South Indian options - idli, vada, dosa and uttapams - as they do it well and it's a nice change over the westernised curries in your average Indian restaurant.

Pros: Vegetarian with large selection of vegan options, Decent price

Cons: Can get crowded, especially on weekend nights

Love, love, love this place!

This was a great little find and I go here often. Lots of vegan options and really good, authentic dosas that are not expensive. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.
