Reviews Savya Rasa

Dropped in for their onam sadya. Every single dish was cooked to perfection. The payasam was heavenly. A little pricey though. It was very clean as well so hopefully I don't catch anything :)

Went here for their Millet food festival and really enjoyed a sumptuous healthy meal for dinner. They served us with a basket of fryums and for refreshments gave us nannari sharbath and tender coconut with honey. The sharbath was a bit sweet for us but the tender coconut was quite good.For soup, we ordered mutton NENJUELAMBU soup. This was outstanding. So good. Spicy and soothing.For starters, we got, KURUMILAGU KARUVEPPILAI MEEN. This was seer fish. Favor was good but the fish smell was overwhelming. YERAL varuval, must try. Tasted really really good.For.mains, we had chicken millet biryani. Was different but a bit bland for our taste.Naatu KOZHI kolambu, another must try. Spicy and so yum. Anything we had along with this curry was a hit.KAMBU Dosa, with onions and pepper tasted good. Came along with three chutneys.Rafi roti, another one I was really impressed with. Not a fan of ragi but this tasted yum. And filling. Finished it off with PARUTHI PAAL halwa. Was floating with ghee and less sweet cause they don't any processed food in this. Another must try.Service was impeccable. Pricing is a bit high.Bon appetite :)

Nice ambience, quick service, big surprise every time food came to the table - it just looked so awesome and tasted even better! Highly recommended.

The ambiance is good and service is very efficient. Don't expect anything fancy with the ambiance - it's got just what it needs. If you are looking for proper south Indian food, this is the place to go! Starting from the desserts every dish was authentic and super delicious.  The service is amazing and  very well behaved staff, flawless service and quick serving of the food, what else do you need?

Authentic delicious food from different regions of southern India. The ambience is amazing and the service staff is courteous. They are prompt and accommodate your requests. We had bun parotta, mutton sukka, fish fry, mutton ishtew, appam and elneer payasam. Everything was delicious and totally worth it. Visited again the next week and tried few vegetarian dishes. Those were equally yummy. Will be a frequent patron at this place. Love it!

If you are a foodie and can spend decent amount at a place which has a pretty decent ambience then this is the place to visit. It was my first time in Chennai and I wanted to have the local stuff. We ordered vanjaram tawa fish fry which was too good , cheetinadu kozhi was worth the visit .

A South Indian restaurant located near Soy Soi in Kotturpuram totally worth visiting.
Came here for Christmas lunch with family.
What we had - Set menu.
It comprised of
1) Welcome drink - Nanari Sarbath (a must try)
2) Soup
3) Starters - erachi ularthiyathu, pallipalayam mutton and nadan kozhi peralan (a must try)
4) Main course - Bun Parotta (a must try), Idiyappam (a must try), Appam, Biryani (a must try), Chicken curry and Fish curry
5) Dessert - Karupetti halwa and thenga paal payasam (a must try)

The drink - Nanari Sarbath is my favourite South Indian drink. An amazing way to start a meal. This drink never fails to disappoint me.

The soup - for those who enjoy prawns and coconut flavouring will definitely enjoy this soup. A soup with a really good taste and the perfect amount of spice along with the mild taste of coconut flavouring to it.

The starters - All the three starters were really good but the pallipalayam mutton was my personal favourite. For those who enjoy spicy food, these starters are a definite must try here. I enjoyed eating them as they were packed with flavour, making me crave for a second helping.

The main course - the Bun Parotta and Idiyappam were my favourites. The Idiyappam had the perfect consistency to it making it amazing to eat. The bun Parotta was really soft with a slightly crunchy outside, making it the perfect Parotta to eat. The fish and chicken curries were really good accompaniments with the main food. But for those who enjoy having a sweet taste to their curries will enjoy them. The chicken biriyani is a must try here. Made with the traditional biryani rice it had a really good flavour to it and had the perfect amount of succulent chicken pieces to it (Neither too much nor too less).

The desserts - desserts are the best way to end a meal. These desserts were surely the best way to end a scrumptious meal. The elaneer payasam and karupetti halwa were amazing. They are the best desserts and a definite must try indeed.

The ambience is beautiful. It brings in a nice South Indian feel to it. The service was really good. The staff made us wait for 10 minutes and then took down our order. Nevertheless they were courteous, friendly and brought the food on time.

In order to enjoy an amazing South Indian meal with family and friends, this place is a must visit!!!!!!!

Lovely place.

Went here just today. The staff were very courteous and helped us choose the right dishes. We loved every single item starting from the soups till the final Sulaiman chai. Will absolutely recommend this place and will also try to visit this place again. Need to try a few more dishes on their menu and had no space in my stomach today!!

Amazzzzing food and awesome service by the staff. Loved the hospitality and would recommend all my friends to visit here in future

Very good service by Mr Suresh and all the staff. Loved the Poondu Saadyam and vada

We chose this place for a special South Indian family lunch and were delighted. We had siru Sola varuval and murugai rasam as part of our starters followed by a sadhya, neer Dosa with vazhaipoo murangai kozhambu (suggested by staff), bun parotta with kuttanadan beef varattiyatthu, tomato pappu with steamed rice as main course, coconut pudding, nannari sarbath, arisi payasam for desserts.
What we didn't like at all: coconut pudding. This has been our forever favorite at any South Indian restaurant but we were utterly disappointed with the one served here.
What we loved: tomato pappu had amazing flavours of garlic and tomato masala; our vazhaipoo murungai kozhambu was amazing with flavours bursting in each bite; payasam was lipsmackinlgy tasty and so was each item of the sadya.
Must visit for sadya.
I personally loved their decor and overall ambience.

Such a good place to come out and eat in a traditional wayyy. Thank you so much for the valuable food. Mr. Suresh was excellent in service. But one drawback is that this place is too expensive 😁

Went for lunch with my team and had the weekday thali.. ordered some items from ala carte menu.

Ambience: very nice and traditional setup. Ample seating for small and groups.

Service: staff were friendly and recommendations were good too. Valet parking available so now worries parking on a busy street.

Food: the Thali was too good. I specially liked the parota which was very soft. The meal is very filling with one soup, 2 starters (can offer better items instead of medhu Vadai), variety rice, steam rice and curd rice with rasam, sambar, pappu, Kara kozhumbu, beetroot pachidi (normally I don't eat but loved it) and 2 desserts.

If you go for the thali then don't order anything else because this is unlimited and tasty. It's not easy to do justice to the entire meal.

Value for money - it's expensive but worth the money you pay. Authentic south india food so worth trying out.

Having come across this name, i always felt something unique and yes that uniqueness is definitely present here. Terrific ambience, courteous staff and above all the food is the cream of the crop. Authentic south indian taste and those welcome with vadaams 😍 make you feel homely.

Vasantha neer, elaneer payasam and chettinadu nandu rasam are must try.

Overall it was a very happy and fulfilled experience at Savya Rasa. Continue the great work with highest quality 👍

Savya Rasa is serves the best and authentic South Indian food. I was in love with the taste of the food. I tried a variety of dal and rice which was very unique. Moreover I had mushrooms and potatoes cooked in South Indian spices. Names were very tough, sorry for that.

This places serves only authentic South Indian food from the 4 states and is a must visit for all South Indian cuisine fans! Ambience looks prettyyy
The ambience is very classy and grand and it is best you make a booking especially on weekends
On weekdays don’t forget to try their amazing unlimited thali!
.
Do try out this place and let us know too

Every item we ordered had good taste.Bit costly but we had new experience and loved the food.We had 4 types of drinking water and we had traditional betel leaves

A classy south indian lunch. 4 state flavours that are deliciously made. A must try place. For the ambience and the price it was worth it. Kindly book your table before you go sometimes Sunday lunch without table makes u wait long to taste their finger tingling food.

Savya Rasa is one of those places that as been on my list of places to try ever since they launched and somehow despite so much planning, it just didn’t happen. But when I finally did, it was such a great experience.

LOCATION

Located right on Gandhi Mandapam Road (Kotturpuram) next to Soy Soi, its hard to miss. Parking is sorted because they have a valet.

AMBIANCE

Once you step into the restaurant, it feels like walking into a museum of some sorts. Every wall is adorned by some rare antiques. The interiors are very tastefully done.

THE EXPERIENCE

Their menu is a curation of different dishes from various South Indian regions. It’s fair enough to say that they have indeed picked the best of every region. You can request the staff to give you a mini tour of the space and they will be more than happy to explain in detail about the various artefacts inside the restaurant. I really like the attention to detail here; the staff have a very good knowledge about the food and are very courteous. I liked how they serve water infused in herbs like vetiver, zeera and mint; all separately. We were served chilled Nannaari Sarbath as soon as we were seated and it felt very refreshing.

SOUP

The meal started off with a hot Mutton Nenjuelumbu Rasam laced with pepper. The broth was very tasty infused with the flavours from the mutton.

STARTERS (VEG)

We wanted to try something different and ordered Chutney Paniyram. Being very fond of paniyaram, I really enjoyed these little dumplings filled with kaara chutney inside. Loved it. Kondakadalai Kozhukattai ordered by the vegetarians was another interesting choice. It was more like ‘sundal’ with chick peas and tiny pieces of kozhukattai seasoned with vegetables and spices. Although Urulai Podi Varuval looked so tempting, could have been tossed long enough for the masalas to nicely soak into the vegetable. Also, in my opinion, this would be a great accompaniment with rice rather than being a starter.

STARTERS (NON-VEG)

Pacha Masala Meen Varuval (fish) with their secret green paste masala was my favourite. The fish was griddled to the right temperature which ensured the meat had the perfect texture. The Yeral varuval (prawns) and Pallipalayam Mutton were equally tasty especially the latter a speciality of Kongunaadu cuisine.

DRINKS

Mid way through our meal we ordered a couple of drinks and all of them were brilliant. I never talk about drinks in my reviews but I think the ones that we tried at Savya Rasa deserve to be mentioned. I am off aerated drinks for quite some time now and that’s why their drinks menu really impressed me. Vasantha Neer, a simple drink made with tender coconut water, honey and lemon was my favourite. Panagam, a mixture of jaggery and could be ultra-sweet in some eateries but this one was just balanced. The Kulukki (shaken) Sarbath (juice), a drink popular in Kerala is a sweet and spice mixture of lemonade and pineapple topped with Sabja seeds (from the basil family). Sabja seeds contain great nutritive value and are very cooling, which makes it an ideal drink for the summer. Neer Moor was seasoned perfectly and the Rosemilk was a delightful.

MAIN COURSE

We ordered just a couple of Erachi Ishtew (mutton) to go with fluffy appams. Although the stew was very tasty, it was very rich and dense and that can be overwhelming when you have already filled yourself with starters. The Bun parottas were fluffy yet crisp at the edges. We all enjoyed it so much with a delicious Milagu Kozhi Chettinad. Rightly spiced, the pepper chicken was just too good. Although their Mutton biryani was nice, I really enjoyed the Vetrilai Poondu Saadam from the Kongunaadu region, was a burst of flavours. Clearly the best in the vegetarian segment.

DESSERTS

We kept the desserts quite simple after such a hearty meal and ordered just some Elaneer Payasam (tender coconut) and Kavuni Arisi Halwa (Burmese rice). Both were simply too good. The latter is from the chettinadu region and is something that we make at home very often. Loved it.

IN A NUTSHELL

Definitelyu one of those places where you want to have a good relaxed meal with great ambience. Slightly expensive, but truly worth the experience.

For a city that celebrates global cuisine it's pretty shady that very few Indian restaurants make it big. South Indian cuisine to be more precise have been lacking the accolade they rightfully deserve.
Savya rasa that shares a common wall with soy soi opposite to AMM school in kotturpuram.
They celebrate southern cuisine well in their outlet in Pune and I'm more than glad the celebration was extended to Chennai.
Ambiance wise, amazing effort to project the culture and it's reflection on food. From decor to wall arts this place has done things to recreate the goodness of southern culture.

Food
We were about 12 pax and were welcomed with an amazing nannari sarbat. In the scorching heat I could only come back to my senses after gobbling those up. The vadam basket has been catching up in the recent trends and this place is no different to try the new. We started with a mutton based soup for the meat eaters and a simple tomato soup for the peasants. What I expected to be a garlic rich creamy one turned out to be a simple elegant tomato rasam ofcourse with loads of flavours that rejuvenate your appetite. Somehow they decided to o play this one veg dish low key with the name.
For starters when the non vegetarian options were flooded with ones that walk to quack, vegetarian options were pretty decent and turned close with the same authentic touch. Chutney paniyaram which was a normal paniyaram stuffed with hot tomato chutney in the core. This was a real good innovation that stands apart from the previous best innovation that one did with the paniyaram - the podi paniyarams. What tops the list next is the gunpowder baby potato, the podi is tempered onto the skin of potatoes and tossed in a generous amount of coconut oil was quite a twist. Though a little too hot for a potato this is the heat that's worthy a try. Pallipalayam Kalan is yet another twist that I welcome. Loaded with spices that was evidently too hot for button mushrooms they did their best to mimic a pallipalayam dish. I would prefer to he saunf broken or crushed for I had to awkwardly eliminate them as I ate. Another staple at home that was transformed with a good twist is the kondakadala kozhukatai. Pidi kozhukattai and chickpeas went together so well. Spices were amazingly on point and this is a recipe worth stealing from here. Ofcourse a vegetarian starter pack is never over without vazhapoo vada and for all the God's goodness there was no paneer in a south indian menu for once!
Main course was hard to fit into given the damage the starters did. Yet we fought out way through just to take a bite of how could a main course better such starters. In this order, bun parottas! Damn good soft crisp on the outside parottas that could make you cry. I love parottas and this is the kind that makes you cry, sided with pretty good things like the stew, vazhapoo drumstick kozhambu, kootu, and what not. Yet I'd strongly prefer a Salna like hot and spicy water gravy to side the bun parottas. Nei choru was a bit over done with carrots yet they were the perfect melt in the mouth types. They go amazingly well with all the above veg and so bragged about meat gravy. Poondu vetrilai rice was exceptional. Again hot and true to the nature, seemed a bit dry for my liking. Topping off with ghee or warm groundnut oil would do wonders to this bowl. Any extensive South Indian meal doesn't end without curd rice.
For drinks there were pretty authentic options like the panagam, neer more, kulukki sarbat, looking sarbat and many more. To taste such an elaborate menu requires an elaborate appetite. The kavuni arisi halwa and elaneer payasam are the best way to end any meal, with damn less sugar and the right amount of condiments.
This place has earned its place in my wishlist to visit them a couple more times to try out their complete menu.
Cost is a bit on the expensive side. Yet I would still be visiting to have a bite of the rest of the menu because this is not the normal overrated food that we make at homes these days.

Ambiance - 4/5
Service - 4/5
Food - 4.5/5

Savya rasa was in my checklist for long time. And at last been here for lunch. Savya Rasa is place where one could find almost authentic recipes from 8 regions of South India serving on the table with a fine dining. experience.

Welcoming in a happy VANAKKAM note each and every person there were so warm in doing that, which really impressed me first. Then they were so excellent in helping us know about each of the food they serve.

Ambiance: calm and well maintained space with pretty and lovely old fashioned chairs and tables. Decors were all about a travel collection from each part of South Indian. You must be definitely hear the stories about their interiors and wall hangings. Two private rooms available even.

Food:
Water here on the table had three varieties sat Vetrivel, zeera and tulsi, which have their own benefits. Welcomed with a shot of nannari sarbath which I used to love in my native, and it was the same as I love it, We were served with yummy less oily fryyums or sago vathal with three varieties of pickle.

Mutton nenjelumbu soup - I would definitely say it’s the best I had in any restaurant as of now, if made me think of how well my grandma. Served hot with a good portion.

Veg starters:
1. Vazhappoo vadai - I had a happy feeling after having it “vada vadathaan ya”. My feeling on this one was the vazhappoo used could have been more.
2. Chettinad paniyaram - the paniyaram was so good with a chutney stuffed in the middle. Loved them.
3. Kondakadalai kozhukkattai- equal portions of both tossed well with finely chopped onions, tomatoes, ginger etc and served hot. This was my another favourite in veg starters.
4. Urulai Podi varuval - baby potatoes roasted and tossed well with Podi. The potatoes were cooked well and tossed well with the Podi which made them good enough.

Non veg starters:
1. Kuttanadan beef varattiyathu - name says it all. I love this one and one of the best beef I had in a fine dining place. The beef pieces were so juicy and yummy with proper portion on spices. I will definitely pay for the price.
2. Pacha masala meen fry - the fish was so fresh and the pacha masala added to it made it still better around.
3. Eraal varuval - my granny used to make this kind of eraal fry when I was refusing to have prawns. This was so morukku morukku in taste and lovely prawns. Another favourite from non veg list.
4. Pallipalayam mutton - the mutton was so good with small chopped pieces tossed well with masala and a taste of coconut added to it. The coconut pieces with the mutton masala will remain my favourite in all pallipalayam varieties.

Bun parotta - Madurai special bun parotta is here in their own authentic way. So fluffy the parotas with their own flaky and s mild crispy touch.

Appam - we tried their plain version and also the egg version. The egg one was my go 💛

Vetrilai poondu Sadham - seeraga samba rice with a proper mixture of poondu and vetrilai. This rice portion made me feel good, the taste was equally the best when had with coconut raitha.

Kongu mutton biriyani- aromatic small pieces of mutton filled kongu styled biriyani. And authentic to be precise.

Nei sooru- ghee Rich rice with cardamom flavoured and cumin seeds with choppers carrots into it. Loved them and the combo of vazhappoo murungakka kozhambu was yummilicious. And really I can’t get over this combo.

Vazhappoo murungakkai kozhambu - puree was so yummy and went well with the ghee rice which Iam telling you again, cause I loved it more.

Milagu kozhi Chettinad- the gravy was so rich in pepper and the tender chicken pieces over the pepper was so juicy and spicy. Good combo with parota. But I’ll definitely say it will be lovely with idly or kal dosa.

Irachi stew: tender pieces of meat with a rich purée of coconut milk gravy. Definitely the yummy one had in my life. And I’ll go here again just to have this. Favourite of all. To add a little spice to it they add a small portion black pepper to it.

Drinks: ordered 5 varieties of drinks say kulukki sarbath which was okay in my view, panagam which was overpowering with the taste, Vasantha neer was new to me, rose milk and asusual am a lover of it and last the kokkum mojito was good either.

For dessert had the kavuni arisi halwa which was so yummy with less sweet in it and elaneer payasam was either the same best one.

Ambiance - 5/5
Service- 5/5
Food- 4.5/5
Taste- 4.5/5
Price- 3.6/5

To be precise This place is a happy spot to fill in your whole South Indian food loving family and having a great time with them. Definitely you’ll never be disappointed, with their authentic dishes served with love.

Taste : 4.5/5 ; Ambiance : 4/5 ; Service : 5/5 ; VFM : 3.5/5 ;

There are a few places that grab attention once they open doors for business and as a food blogger keep tempting you for visiting them for various reasons..Like Good reviews, wide variety in the menu and even serving dishes that you aren't familiar with or not easily available elsewhere..Savya Rasa is one such place which was in my wishlist since they opened up in chennai..And only recently i was able to try them thanks to plan that worked out with my fellow foodie friends..

This Restaurant is located on the Gandhi Mandabam road in kotturpuram exactly opposite to AMM Matriculation School and few yards from the Anna Centenary Library...Due to a unique and traditional frontage this place is pretty hard to miss too..The Restaurant has some good parking space available and also has option for valet..

Once you enter you feel like you are transported to a place native to cuisines..Filled with traditional items all around be it the the portraits, carpets that adorn the wall or be in the kitchen items like graters and beetle crushers that are neatly arranged in on the walls...with rich wooden tables and chairs there is no compromise of comfort..In addition to the normal seating of 40 odd ppl there are 3 PDAs that can seat another 20 ppl..Quite spacious in the seating and well maintained...

Note : All the items in the Restaurant that form the part of the ambiance are special for some reason or the other..Plz do ask the servers for their importance if you are interested..

The Service IMO is the best part of this restaurant with a good batch of ppl..The servers were kind and polite and were happy to accommodate all of our requests in addition to a very good idea of the food they serve..The whole group that served us were quite efficient and the waiting time was quite average..And they were happy to show us around when we asked about a few items that adorn their walls..A private tour if you ask me..

These place boasts off serving as much as 8 different south indian cuisines and have a extensive and great menu for each of these..

Given Below is the list of items we tried and my take on them..

Mutton Nenjelumbu Rasam(rs249) : In recent times i have tried the mutton nenjelumbu rasam quite often and believe me when i say that this was the best i have had in my life time..Man the taste is still lingering on my tongue and just cant get enough of it..Perfectly spiced and bone extract was just perfect too..This would be such a bliss to ppl with sour throat or cold..

Fryyums : You get a basket of rice papads and sagoo vathals to while your time before you get your food..pretty decent ones IMO that is served with 3 kinds of Chutney and Pickle..

Vazhai poo Vadai (rs219) : Hailed from the Kongunadu Cuisine this is one of the best vadai i have had thanks to the perfect texture with a crispy exterior and yummy banana flower and dhal mixture that is served with coconut chutney which is a worthy accompaniment to this yummy vadais..

Kondakadalai Kozhukattai (rs229): Also from the Kongunadu cuisine Rice flour dumplings in the size of chickpeas that are tossed with chickpeas themselves in a mixture of onions, pepper and other spices..The different textures of kozhukattai and chickpeas went well with each other and when combined with other spices and pepper it was just too good

Pallipalayam Mutton (rs499) : Such soft and succulent pieces of mutton mixed in with coconut in a traditional pallipalayam masalas..Was just perfect in my opinion..yummy and it just left me wanting for more..We also tried the mushroom variety of the same called the Pallipallayam Kalaan priced at rs249..Also really good in taste..These 2 were also from the Kongunadu cuisine..

Urulai Podi Varuval (rs229) : This belongs to the chettinad cuisine..Small Baby potatoes boiled well and tossed along with a mixture of ground lentils, chili powder and other items...This was the least impressive of the lot IMO..

Chutney Paniyaram (rs249) : Also from the Chettinad cuisine these Paniyarams are infused with chutney..this was the first time i tried such a thing and i quite liked what i had..The cooking was just perfect on the paniyaram and so was the taste..

Yeral Varuval (rs669) : Prawns fried in with chilli powder with a hint of turmeric along with curry leaves and sesame seeds..The Prawns were soft and succulent and seemed so fresh overall..This too belonged to the Chettinad cuisine..

Kuttanadan Beef Varattiyathu (rs349) : Part of the Nasrani cuisine that is claimed to be from the kerala christians covering the areas of kottayam and alapuzha this beef dish was one of the best i have had..The meat was so soft and succulent and mixed in with spices and coconut..Perfect good with such a yummy lipsmacking taste..

Pacha Masala Meen Fry (rs549) : Seer fish that was grilled on a tawa in a green masala which had hints of curry leaves and also of lemon and other spices..the taste was something that stays on the tongue for a long while and the fish too was perfectly cooked..

Bun Parotta (rs99) : Now i have been wanting to try bun parottas for quite some while..but the limitation of getting it in chennai almost made to forget it when i was in surprise when i saw it on the menu and ordered it first up..So fluffy and crispy and flaky i can just imagine to say that it was just perfect..

Aapams (rs99) : One of the best aapams i have had in a while and with the yummy gravies served along with it this was just too good..Also happened to try the Muttai aapam which was a tad bit better...This is priced at 129rs..

Vetrilai Poondu Sadham (rs299) : Seeraga Samba rice cooked in with beetle leaves and fried garlic..This was just too good and pair it with some yummy coconut raita that they served and it was just out of this world..Must try..

Kongu Mutton Biryani (rs549) : As the name suggests this was a typical kongu style mutton biryani with some tender pieces of mutton..The biryani was flavorful and quite aromatic and a must try when you visit the restaurant..

Eraichi Ishtew (rs559) : Man This was one of the richest gravies i have had in a while and all this richness is from the rich coconut milk that was cooked in with the tender pieces of meat...The gravy is lightly spiced due to the addition of black pepper..and i recommend this with the aapams..They also have a veg variant called the Veg Ishtew..

Milagu Kozhi Chettinad (rs449) : A Typical Chettinad dish spicy and yummy with crushed black pepper and lichen along with succulent chicken pieces..went well with the bunparotta..

Vaazhaipoo Murungaka Kozhambu (rs349) : Again a coconut based gravy in a mix of drumstiks and plantain flowers..This was served with Neichor..

Neichor (rs279) : Rich rice with flavor of cardamom along with bay leaves...The Aroma of the butter was just top notch and as said the gravy served as the accompaniment did its job pretty well..

Drinks : We did try a variety of drinks of which the nannari sharbath was a welcome drink and it was quite perfectly made and good in taste..The neer more was quite decent..Vasantha Neer based of tender coconut was quite average IMO..Panagam was the best of the lot but was not consistent as the 2 drinks we ordered were a lot different in taste..Kokum Mojito and Kulaki Sharbath were also Good..

Suleimani Chai : The mix of arab and kerala this sulemani chai was one of the best i have had in recent times and that too in chennai..

Desserts : Kavuni Arisi Halwa and elaneer payasam were the ones we tried..The Elaneer payasam was just too good perfectly sweetened and yummy..The Halwa based up with kavuni arisi was really good and topped with cashews..Too good..

Savya Rasa did live upto my expectation with some good and yummy tasting food items...Though a couple of items did not meet expectations the majority of the items actually exceeded expectations and a few of them are something i would recommend in chennai for sure..Yes the pricing is on the higher and can be said its at par with star properties but the taste of food items and exceptional service in addition to the top class quality makes it completely worth to try on some special occasions..A place i would definitely recommend in chennai...

Truly a gem. The owner personally attended to us and I could tell he cares about every little detail in the restaurant. The food was delicious, meticulously prepared and served and unlike anything else I had tasted before. Recommended!

We hadn't gone here for a long time because we thought it's just a South Indian restaurant, we're south indian. How different can it be? We were pleasently surprised. Right from the outset, it had a very authentic look. All the chairs and the tables reminded me of an ancestral homes that I've been to. The Smell was also very traditional, like your grandparents setting off an incense early morning. The waiters are dressed in Sarees and Dhotis and white shirts which just adds to the look. The Service was also prompt. We wanted to change tables and they did it fast. We never had to wait more than a few seconds when we wanted something. The Food was amazing. Their Coin Parotta with Chicken curry is a must try for starters. It's bite sized and disappears super fast. We also tried one of their coconut based chicken curries and bun parotta. Their bun parottas are soft and fluffy. Definitely recommend. While I initially thought their prices were a little on the higher side, the portion sizes for mains convinced me otherwise. The curry could serve like 4 people easily. We also got their prawn biriyani and we could hardly make a dent ( 2 people). Their Elaneer Payasam was the only thing I was not a fan of. It tasted a little too much like only Elaneer. Their Ambalapuzha Pal Payasam, on the other hand, was amazing. This is a great place to take a family with old people who are not too experimental with theirs foods. We went here a second time for my birthday with family. They have two rooms, one for 6 and another for 8 people. Our waiter for the day, Rueben, took really good care of us. He was attentive the whole time and shared portions correctly, filled our glasses up when we needed them and so on. We would recommend almost everything there. It's very homestlye, you don't feel like it's from a restaurant. The two standouts were prawn ghee roast and sainu thaatha's chicken kebab. Both of which are a must try. One of the waiters there also gave us their umbrella for us to move to our cabs. Amazing experience. We will come back again.

A place with great and fast service, good ambience and food. One must try kondu vegetable biryani, poraichi paratha paneer ghee roast tasted extremely delicious but some other items like kappa cutlet with idichammanti, neer dosa, idiyapam idli, needs some improvement. The coriander based brinjal curry that is vankaya kothmir koora and godhi roti needs a lot of improvement. It was the biryani and their quick service that just saved our dining experience and is therefore given 4 stars.

Right from the grand entrance with the hand made athangudi tiles and the carefully curated artefacts, Savya Rasa is a brand that is deeply entrenched in South Indian cuisine and culture. With recipes and dishes collected and nurtured through many renditions, this brand brings the best versions to the table. The recent Chettiar Table : Chettinad Food Festival was a continuation of their commitment and love for the cuisine! Try everything that appeals to you, read the descriptions and allow the ingredients and combinations to tempt you.

Great food, nice ambience and service is good. Portions are bit small.

If you want authentic South Indian cuisine in Chennai, this is definitely the place. It is expensive but the flavours and the taste of the freshly pounded masala in every dish makes it worthwhile. The decor, presentation and service along with the lovely food are the pros of the place. The quantity per serving should be a little more

Located in kotturpuram, on the main road only valet parking option this south indian restaurant serves both veg and non veg options. Nice decor, attentive service, good food options and decent quantity, pricey though..Seating is quite limited and tends to become noisy if fully occupied. They have a private enclosed area with 6 seats upon advance reservation. Contemporary decor with silk sarees etc make it pleasing to the eyes.

One of the best places to have South Indian food for non South Indians. It is one of the few places that offer variety and taste and not the same old menu. The only thing is they should maintain consistent quality every time and every day. I have been to this place multiple times and while it is great sometimes, at times food is only mediocre. Curries / stews are too watery or food just doesn’t taste that good. Service has also become only average in the past few months.

Savya Rasa authentic south Indian style hotel in kotturpuram, Next to Anna centuratory library.Ala carte type of hotel and best ambience. For order we need to scan the QR code,It will give menu ( First time I seen this type of system in Chennai) We ordered the kori chicken, Ghee prawn, vanchiram fish, pallipalaiyam chicken, mutton briyani, chicken briyani, Non-Veg (Unlimited) meal, chicken soup, ilaneer payasam, moorneer, lichy juice and icecream. Starters are very good taste and crisp. Especially Ghee prawn and ilaneer payasam are tasty. Briyani's are not upto the level. Please try other items other then briyani. Better go with Non-Veg meals. Staff are very good and polite manner. I can prefer and refer this hotel to Non-Veg lovers. Forgot to mention "I loved the ambience and food here" also their "menu card system"
