We had ordered puttu,paneer butter masala and palak dal. All were great in taste. Paneer was sweet. Palak dal was different in taste. The dal had palak puree in it. Even the wheat chapati was soft. We were in Kochi for 2 days and for both days had from here.

I like the food here esp South Indian. Ordered online today. Enjoyed whatever I took. Loved the Dahi vada, Pongal, Idiappam n kadala & ghee roast. The chutneys that came along with dosa were too good.

I'm having food from this outlet for past one and half years. Almost all the things in their menu is good. The kothu porottas they serve in the evenings is my favourite.
Overall a good clean vegetarian outlet serving quality food.

It's huge, spacious tiffin centre! Completely loved their crisp, tasty dosa. It was the best dosa I tasted till date. We had mysore pak for dessert, which was lovely. We were served pink ayurvedic hot water which, they claimed, to be a good digestive potion.

Excellent place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Yes, there have been times when I have had all 3 of my meals from this one place - for a period of 2 months! I recommend South Indian for breakfast, the typical South-indian sadhya for lunch, and a North-Indian dinner (at their A/c restaurant on the backside).

I would rate it as the best vegetarian restaurant in Kochi. Mushroom masala dosa was awesome at Kacherippady outlet.  Dosas, Ghee roast etc also very good and crispy. Must try.

The food is really good. I love the dosas here quite a lot. I made the mistake of ordering noodles which looked a lot like a fruit plate (hands full of grapes, pomegranate, pineapples and apples had found their way on to the dish). The staff is a little cold but they make up for that by serving good south Indian food.

We have been here twice and have had sambhar vada, masala dosa, spring rolls, kadahi paneer, stuffed kulcha, cheese veg kulcha, chhola batura and filter coffee. Everything was yummy. Service is good. The place is an absolute value for money.

Authentic south Indian delicacies served fresh sums this place up.
Tried quite a lot of things
7 uttapams in a platter is a must have if you like it.
Seven different kind of preparations with different stuffings will do definitely leave you asking for more.
Ghee roast and rava masala are great as well.
Don't miss out the special meals they serve at this place.
Also give chola Puri a try as it has a different appeal to it all together with the channa's cooked in coconut paste and pepper will send your taste buds for a toss.
Mysore pak and coffee will culminate it well.

Great place , prompt service , amazing food and priced right earns it a recommendation!

Went there for two times. Food was good. Ate Podi(spicy) masala dosai and onion uttapam. Both were tasteful. Only thing is that none of the waiter can understand Hindi properly, so it was hard to ask some basic questions about dishes. Good place for pure vegetarian food. And yeah, it's neat and clean place at cheap price. Good to go.

It's a classic favorite for those of us who live nearby.

The food is really good, no doubt. Especially the dosa-vada, in fact even their simple vegetarian meals.
I enjoy the tea/coffee here.

Pricing is cheap.

Service is fast and good.

I cannot swear by their hygiene practice but I've never had a problem following any item I've had here.

Parking is provided around and opposite the restaurant.

Place is almost always crowded, especially in the morning and evening.

Cheers! 🍴

A famous franchise of Sarvana Bhavan in Kochi on main road to Marine drive.
Authentic South Indian items with very good quality and sizable portion.

Ambiance is ok and simple one.
Quick service here by staff.

Ample parking space opposite hotel for your cars.

Again my favorite Rava Roast. It was prepared with generous amount of GHEE, even dosa looked not bigger in size however a bit heavy for me.
Vadas and other type of dosas are must try.

Someone ordered Paper Roast, man that Dosa was Huge and Longggg...just loved it.

However I made payment by card, tried 2x, amount got deducted and reversed only once. I talked to hotel management, they said they will do the needful...seems their swipe machine is quite old what I noticed.

I've had Saravana Bhavan food from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Paris before and liked it. But the one in Kerala absolutely blew my mind off.
I had the masala dosa and urunu vada and it was just melt in the mouth perfection.
The chutneys and sambhar which accompanied the dosa were so flavorful and delightful. The masala dosa itself was outstanding. Such crisp dosa and spicy masala.
The urunu vada was crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. 
Absolutely loved it!
Definitely head to this place if you're looking for the best South Indian delicacies.

Whenever travelling down south,at least one thali meal at Sarvana Bhavan should be compulsory. It's feels so good to eat on the banana leaf, a welcome change from our regular dinner plates. The steaming hot red or white rice, piping hot sambar and rasam, the humble thoran and lightly cooked seasonal vegetables sum up as soul food. It is a riot of flvaours in your mouth. The accompanying chutneys and papad add a lot of taste in between big bites. The bowl of payasam served at the end ( the food for the gods) is the sweetest part of the meal. The staff serving the thali are warm and keep coming back to refill portions urging you to have some more. This style of serving comfort food makes you feel like you are at a home away from home.

Saravana Bhavan is a vegetarian restaurant which is well frequented by Kochiites. Located close to High Court Junction, it is quite a busy place, which serves tasty South Indian breakfast dishes and a few North Indian dishes as well. Service is okay, but can get a little clumsy if they're having a busy day. Ambience isn't too bad either. It is my regular breakfast spot these days and I don't find a reason to complain about the place as such. Got to mention, their sambar isn't sweet, thankfully.

I had not eaten from here for a long time. I recently had their masala dosa for breakfast and it was very, very good!

August 2017 review:
Dal fry and chapati is my favorite order from them.

Previous review:

Their chole battura is really nice. The aloo gobi is also ok. Sometimes their dosas can be nice. I now usually just have their chole battura.

Being a non-vegetarian, my vegetarian friends find it extremely difficult to convince me to try their not so interesting veg meal while we go eat together, fortunately during Navaratri since I was fasting and could have only veg food my friends and I landed here to grab something to eat. I checked the menu and I found the dosa varieties to be vey interesting and hence ordered their mushroom masala dosas...they were so amazing, I was shocked veg food could make me so happy. Ever since I've been to the place so many times it's got amazing variety to offer at such reasonable prices and the quality is outstanding. I have cravings for those paneer and mushroom dosas most of the times! Best place for dosas and a lot of other South Indian food as well !

One of the really good vegetarian restaurants in the city which serves the yummiest masala dosa in town. Their afternoon meals are really good and the sweets are also delicious. the service is prompt no matter how crowded the place is and I think this is the only restaurant in the city that knows how to actually manage crowds. Haven't tried any of their north indian dishes except chana bhatura (which was really good), but their south indian items are very good. They even have a chaat counter!

This is another one of the good vegi spots in kochi. All their Tamil style dishes taste awsom. Their north Indian and Chinese items are not the best but yet they are good. The quality and quantity is good and the food is well priced .

The restaurant has a good ambience inside . there is ample seating. They have a car parking on the opposit side of the road which many people don't notice .

They also have a spsl sweets counter. They sell all kinds of sweets and all of them are really tasty. Some are a lill with too much ghee. But trying them out once in a while is good I guess .

This place is worth a try. I would recommend it to all .

As all know, Saravana Bhavan is pretty famous in South India. So far I had good experience from the hotel chain. The place is neat and the food served is hot and tasty. To those who haven't visited, a must visit hotel for vegetarian food. I really love their Dosa!

Saravana Bhavan on Banerji road is hard to miss. Located right next to Sarita theater complex, this place is known for their vegetarian food.

I have had food from here multiple times and also got food made from here for family get-together courtesy my cousin who knows the owner. Dosa ranks high in my list of favorites here. The chutney they serve is particularly nice. I like the chapathi kuruma & porota kuruma combo as well. Infact a typical meal here for me would include 1 plate dosa & one of the mentioned combos. Coffee is a must have with any meal here. We have got Sevaka (similar to idiyyappam) made from here. It was absolutely tasty and one of the best I have had.

Cleanliness wise also this place is pretty good. A must go place for veggies and all those who love vegetarian food!!

A nice vegitarian place with good food and quick service. Tried variety of snacks from dosa to bonda to vada to spring rolls etc. Spring roll were average and not hot. Dosa was good. Sambar was cold. Bonda was also cold and so was pakora. Tea was very good. Dahi vada was excellent. Ample sitting space, both A/c and non A/c. Easy parking space available. Service is very quick and impressive. Family place. Reasonable prices.

Update - went here for lunch and it was great ** one more thing about car parking, when you park your car, you need to pay 50 Rs to the security and get receipt. At the time of paying bill at counter you need to give that receipt and get 50 Rs back/subtracted from food bill Soft and tender idli ❤️ Tasty and cryspy Dosa Quick service Additional serving of chutneys given time to time without being asked Really nice experience Would go here again for lunch to taste the most famous Saddya Kerala's lunch
