Saravana Bhavan - Chennai (Madras)

Surprised to see so many negative reviews for this place.Just before taking my flight stopped here for a quick lunch(on a saturday Ugadi).Ambience was decent, staff were polite and helpful, service was quick.Coming to food except for bit bland dal everything they had served from Watermelon juice to ice cream was perfect.I had a different experience than what was in reviews.

Decent place to have south Indian food anytime of the day .<br/ <br/ Do not miss their sambar .<br/ <br/ Everything is good . My all time breakfast is poori and pongal. They make the best .<br/ <br/ We are visiting their hotel chains for like so many years and had the best experience

We went at 11 pm after outstation travel.Food was OK..Idli was cold.My wife wanted a juice.The juice counter was closed but they opened it just to serve her.4 star for that and for the ample parking space.

My everyday Breakfast place<br/ I see there are lot of -ve reviews about this restaurant which is really strange <br/ <br/ I would say HSB is still one of very few South Indian restaurants serving authentic Tamilnadu food items <br/ No doubt about it<br/ My Fav<br/ Ghee mixed parotta<br/ Ghee pongal<br/ Cofee<br/ 14 Idly

Had onion rava dosa and rava onion utappa. Both tasted very nice. Sambar and 3 varieties of chatni to have with. Then special tea was same taste as we make at home. Staff is also good. Neat and clean place. Don't use the restroom it's very dirty. Get your self relieved before coming.
