Saravana Bhavan is a life savior for all Vegetarians in Cochin.

It's the best place to eat authentic food and also of good quality.

We tried a meal here along with paneer kulcha, tomato rice and podi dosa.

They serve North Indian, Chinese food too.

The Kulcha was super soft and really very flavorful. Was perfect for Aarav who doesn't eat spicy food.

The meal was fantastic. Loved the flavors, Sabji and sambar were really good.

The podi dosa was fantastic. Loved it.

The tomato rice was spicy, tangy and very flavorful.

Loved everything here.

Definitely the best place to eat

Don't order Chinese dishes. Chilli gobi we ordered was like a" very sweet dish" kind of dessert. Also naan was like a maida ch
appathi. Go for genuine veg dishes like dosa ,idli which they make with great taste.

Visiting Kochi? Make sure to try out this place!!😋
I ordered-
Pav Bhaji- It was really very good but a bit spicy. It had an awesome flavour!! (4.5/5)
Masala Dosa- A must have over here. Their most famous dish and the dosa was really good. (5/5)
Podi Dosa- It was completely different from the podi dosas I've had in Ahmedabad so personally, didn't like it much. (2.5/5)
The sambhar was simple yet delicious and the chutney
was OK.
Overall, The quantity is really good for the prices and it provides some delicious yet Tummy-filling dishes👌👍

Good veg food, good ambience and reasonable pricing. The food quality is not what it once was. The varieties of chutneys available are what keeps me coming back time and time again. But, it is still not in the league of the original Saravana Bhavan of Chennai.

For all the people who love south indian food and tamil style food this place is recommended and me being from andhra found the food really similar to andhra cuisine also. Located near edapally toll area , this place is always busy around the clock and the food here is always the best.
Paper masala dosa and horlicks is what I had and it was filling and tasty and must try over there.

Excellent place around Edapally Toll region to have vegetarian food. We sat in the AC fine dining area and had an excellent experience. Service was not so quick, but it's always okay to wait for good food.

As starters, we had mushroom lollipop which was smoking hot, good enough to burn your tongue. Later came the Kulchas, Paneer Kadai, Rajma masala and Baby corn curry.

I missed trying out their most common dish, Masala dosa. Certainly going back to try them later.

My verdict..

(The best filter coffee that is available in and around edapally area is Saravana Bhavan. Perfectly filtered coffee with enough amount of coffee beans powder and milk. A slight pinch of coffee flavours makes it more unique in filter Coffee. Do try it out if u love coffee)

I would rate it as the best vegetarian restaurant in Kochi. They are present at 2 locations in Kochi . Edapally and Kacherippady. I visit both frequently. Chat items at Edapally restaurant are must try. My favorites among chat items are "Bombay Pav Bhaji" and Mixed Chat. I would not recommend chats at their Kacherippady outlet. Other items are good at Kacherippady too. Mushroom masala dosa was awesome at Kacherippady outlet.

Fine Vegetarian Food with Excellent Service

Dropped in for dinner at the end of a very tiring day and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food on offer.

Food: 
I had their Ghee Dosa, a Naan and Panneer gravy combo followed by a vada and then a glass of fresh juice ( Boy was I Hungry!). The Ghee Dosa and Vada were both extremely good. The Naan combo too did not disappoint.

Ambiance and Service: 10 on 10
There is ample parking space, the place is quite large but well maintained. The service deserves special mention here, 
apart from the food being served quickly, The staff were extremely courteous and were kind enough to let me charge my phone and allow me to wait till it was time for my bus.
Such simple things elevate a dining experience because when you visit a restaurant, its not just to stuff yourself with food but to have an experience, and these people seem to understand that

Pricing:
Reasonably Priced

Verdict:
Strongly Recommended!

Had my southindian meal from Here, wanted to have some dosai and I ended up here. The ambience was very clean and calm. The staff was polite and nice while taking the order. I ordered one masala dosai and one paneer dosai both tasted very scrumptious and delectable in flavours. It was very fresh and hot while they served. A vada was complimentary with side dishes like chutney and Sambhar. It was a pleasurable meal I had.

I have lunch from Saravana Bhavan almost every day as it’s pretty close to my college. The meals only cost Rs.85 and it’s extremely good. The currys are prepared in a Tamilian way which I really love. So if you are looking for a Keralean meals, I wouldn’t suggest this place. But I don’t really care for the Payasam that comes with the meals. I guess that’s something they should improve on.

Their masala dosa is one of the best I’ve had recently. Light dosa and the filling is extremely tasty. Their chutneys are also really good. The only mistake I’ve made is the kesari I ordered. You guys need to change it entirely. It tastes of really bad ghee and leaves an aftertaste as well. The staff is really fast and efficient. Overall I am really happy with this place.

Visited this place on the way from thrissur to Cochin... the place is huge... they have a lot of service staff... order is taken quickly... food arrives promptly...
We orders for masala dosas... butter dosas and poori masala...
The food was great... chutneys that came with the dosas were also great... authentic... chefs were from Tamil Nadu...
Iv reduced points in my review only because the wash area is poorly maintained and stinks..
Need to work on their washroom hygiene... Can't step in without feeling sick....

Stopped for breakfast. Their puttu with chana curry is excellent. Curry is having mild coconut flavor but it is amazing. Dosa is crispy and tasty with thick coconut chutney and sambar. Warm Water is served in red color. It is extract of Pathimugam spice (Indian redwood) and I was told it is healthy to have it while having food. Overall an excellent experience for breakfast.

Was visiting during the Onam season (being a Chennaite), when the whole city had an amazing vibe. My Kochi based friend took me here to sample their Onam sadya. Must say it was amazing. The whole experience was great, the accompaniments very tasty, service fast and efficient and got a feel of Onam with that one sumptuous meal. 
Especially like their palada pradhaman ! Go for it if you want a slice of kerala on a leaf !

My go-to place these days for good, affordable veg food. Delicious dosas, fresh and tasty snacks (their parippuvada and pazhampori are just yummmm), and not a bad place for North Indian dishes either. I absolutely love their garlic chutney powder.
Is it just-another-veg-place? Probably. But would easily make it to the top 5 veg-only places. The others in my list being Brindavan, Ambiswamys, Nandanam, & the Saravana Bhavan near High Court.

Ever since my affinitiy for vegetarian food began to rise, I've been visiting vegetarian restaurants more than ever. One among them is Saravana Bhavan. The food here is quite good with my only gripe being the quantity. I've had chappathis, mushroom biriyani, mushroom masala and chilli paneer from here and apart from the biriyani which even though good, didn't compare much to the rest which were great. The service here is prompt but the place is crowded during peak hours and as the parking space is limited, parking becomes a headache. Ambience is as expected from a vegetarian restaurant and I feel that's adequate. Price on the other hand is quite cheap but for some people like me, the quantity of food may feel inadequate. Overall, highly recommended, for the vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

They widely acclaimed for its delectable vegetarian offerings, and it consistently lives up to its reputation. The menu showcases a diverse range of South Indian dishes, each prepared with authentic flavors and quality ingredients. From crispy dosas to flavorful curries, the culinary experience at Saravana Bhavan is a treat for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. The efficient service and inviting ambiance further enhance the overall dining experience, making it a reliably good choice for those seeking delicious vegetarian cuisine. #notapaidreview

I recently visited Hotel Saravana Bhavan and had a mixed experience. The ghee roast and podi roast were delicious, but the coffee cup was not cleaned properly. Tried their Vada as well, but it was disappointing, not worth the money. Despite the low crowd, the service was slow, and the security guard's lax approach to directing parking was noticeable. While there's a parking ground nearby, the security service needs improvement. Additionally, the washing area had an unpleasant smell. Overall, a decent meal, but improvements in service and cleanliness are essential

Wow, absolutely stunning food. Not only the best dosa I have ever had ( I chose Podi Dosa, I can eat straight chillies and found this just the perfect amount of spicy, for others with a delicate palette this option may be too much heat. ) it is quite possibly the single most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my 32 years of life. I have to say I was blown away. Clean restaurant, fantastic service, great prices, top notch food and coffee. I can't stress enough how excellent the experience was. Just go and eat here.. just do it, no way you will regret it.

We had ghee roast, masala dosa, vada, Horlicks and tea. Bathrooms were clean in the ac dining hall. The cost was slightly high for a veg restaurant.
