Three of us did the pasta masterclass. What an experience! None of us had ever tried making pasta before, so we had a lot to learn but the guys were great teachers. The fact that you all immediately get stuck in to practicing the techniques really helped too. We made some delicious dishes that I feel really confident in trying at home. And the teachers were funny and entertaining as well. It was a wonderful way to spend a sunday - I can't recommend it enough!
Sarvanaa bhawan is the best restaurant for South Indian food in london I tried cocktail fried idli and rava dosa the coconut chatni is the best chatni ever and its delicious and with filter coffee its made my day thanks sarvanaa Bhavan.
Finding the great Indian taste in London is not that difficult as outlets such as this are all over.The taste of the food is absolutely same and the staff are very kind and polite.The Masala Dosa and Lassi are delicious.And the beer to suit the environment have done really well.
Located close to the Wembley Central Station, not far from the famous ol’ stadium itself is this branch of one of the finest South Indian chains.
This place is spacious enough with a nice ambience and with very helpful and quick on their feet staff so it literally feels like you’re in and out in no time at all. They survival of the fittest and you’ve to adapt to your surroundings so they’ve added beer to the drinks as well.
The food was good and tasty and especially warm since it was served so quick.It didn’t seem different at all from the outlets back in India.
Must haves are the Masala Dosa and Rawa Dosa while staples like Rice Idly and Uthhapam are also great. The Lassi is nice to go with all this.
Just off the Wembley Central Station one mile away from the famous Wembley Stadium this modern and bright Saravanna outlet serves great Indian fare including the pictured Paneer Kadai with Basmati Rice
best South Indian restaurant in town.it was very close to my house.I have enjoyed their plain Dosa with samba and Idli.very clean and beautiful place.very courteous staff.weldone guys

Been here with friends for an early dinner. We were looking for a restaurant with South Indian cuisine.
The place was almost full with customers.
South Indian meal is what I ordered for myself.
Food 4 out of 5
Ambience 3.5 out of 5
Service 3 out of 5
It is difficult to find southindian food in london but this place offers really tasty southindian food.! The authentic south indian taste was found here.! The way they serve and present was also like the sarawana in india.! I had idly dosa and wada which were all good.! The chutneys and sambar was also good.!
Value for money-3.5/5
Food-4/5
Ambience-3/5
The place is always busy so you would think from the outside that the food is on point and you can never go wrong the rate of 3 for the food and 0.5for the service is slow at times and could be slot better and the fact when you place and order and your out of stock with items.
Great food n serve drinks too.. best part was the buffet they had started for £7/8... great choices for vegetarians.. just think twice before ordering chinese..we had ordered once n it was so damn spicy that we had to complaint n the manager got the dish changed.. their kulfi ice creams r also yummy n u get to carry a cute little pot home in which d ice cream/kulfi is served
Away from India this place served the best South Indian food.Always crowded for breakfast/lunch/dinner.Service is quick and Quantity of serving is good.I would recommend ghee mini idlis ,medu vada, uttapam and mango lassi.All the other items on menu are worth trying. Also the food served at their buffet is delicious must try. A request please open Saravanaa Bhavan outlet in Pune too !!!
Staff - Very friendly. Can converse in English, Hindi and yes of course Tamil :)
Ambience and cleanliness - Very good.
Food - Not sure about other parts of London yet, but this one undoubtedly serves the best South Indian food in Wembley!
Have tried, Idli Vada, Masala dosa, onion rava dosa, cashew pulav, mushroom pulav and south Indian thali! All were great. I'm already a regular customer :)
Filter kaapi was good too!
And then when those hit Tamil songs hit your ears at London that's altogether a different experience.
This one is a must try if you are at Wembly!
One of my favourite places to go every time I crave Indian food. The food here is amazing, tastes just like home. The service is really nice, it's fast and people are polite. My personal favourite is the North Indian Thali. It's a really good place to go with a group of friends or family. For a student however I think it is slightly overpriced. Otherwise, Saravanaa Bhavna is amazing.
Also try Gulab Jamun.
Decent food to try. Don't expect too much from the restaurant. Go for South Indian food as that is their speciality. Other cuisines are ok ok only
Saravanaa never disappoints. This Tamil Nadu-based world chain will please your appetite and your wallet. Swiftest service and food that is consistently delicious. Authentic South Indian food in London.
All time favourites - Kara Dosa, mini Idli in Sambhar, Filter Kaapi
Keep gobbling xx
Always such a delight to visit Sarvana Bhawan. I have been a regular goer of Sarvana Bhawan in New Delhi for the last 6 years!
The food is absolutely delicious. We tried the Idli vada platter, papadams, ghee roast masala dosai and coconut ice cream and boy was I delighted!
The same, brilliant authentic South Indian taste with every thing cooked to perfection. The coconut ice cream was definitely the star of our meal!
I never thought I would be so happy to see Sarvana Bhavan and for a second I thought - is this the same one where I used to go in Delhi - one bite into the delicious idli in ghee and you know - OH HELL YEAH!!
I was confused what all to order as my Indian taste buds started taking over me - idli vada sambar, 14 mini idli in ghee, masala dosa, onion rava dosa, paneer masala dosa with the patented filter coffee - even the waiter was smiling!! What a bliss.
I ended up the dinner with rasmalai (which was okay). All in all a very good meal.
I usually crave for Indian food here but this time I went in just for a good filter coffee . I think entire Wembley makes up for the ambience of the place . The service is really good and quick . I love d the traditional South Indian coffee 😋👍

Taking a Break from Places across Pune, and Time to say something about London
SARAVANA BHAVAN – Wembley
FYI – This 90 percent of Indian who are visiting abroad know very well, best south Indian Chain across Globe with Presence in Major Cities provides north Indian Food as well .. Not writing about this – “Sab log jaante hi hai “
3-4 Branches I visited, But Frequently repeated one is Wembley
It’s Like India Only –
Ambience – Decent , It you get main Road sitting then its better
Bus STOP Just Outside, Next to wembley Central Station
One of the Guy understand and speaks Hindi very Well, he became kind of friend of Mine due to regular visit and same orders
Mango Lassi – One of the best item you can say and a Permanent Order , Quality of the same is better or can say best as compare to other places in London
Weekend Morning Breakfast – Lunch – Buffet option, Full of IT Crowd Infosys /Cognizant and more you can find here .. J
Buffet is having good option, little higher on rates as compare to Chennai Express.. But Quality is better, also then KAILASH PARBAT /Jashn ( Opp to this )
Tandoori ROTI- I would mark this one as 5 STAR I its segment because very rare to find with less or no maida with Best Quality and Taste
Mutter Paneer –Palak Panner are kind of south Indian touch but decent one.. DOSA and Starter are nice
If I am not missing , JUG option is there if you are in a Group
Summary: One of the Best Indian Food Vegetarian place in London with Best MANGO LASSI /ROTI and other items ..Also provide JAIN Food …Must Visit ..
Other reasons to Visit : Indian Area , Shiv and SAI Temple Opposite – Can try Langar, Prasadam .:) J
Yes Yes .. London is very Costly..so you must .. some times ..
Kailash PARBAT , Chennai EXP& JASHN – Opposite .. to this place ..for Choices .. will write their reviews as well soon ..
Looking 4 South Indian veg cuisine.. look no further than this tried and tested restra.
I have visited it's wembley and East Ham branches and both are equally good.
Tried meal during lunch time and also various north indian stuffs like chana bhatoora.
All pretty much taste the way it shud have.
Apart from all I just love their sambar.
Certainly the place to be when are hungry and want to savor some good Indian cuisinr
Just an amazing place for South Indian food here in London. It's very low on pocket as well. Idli Sambar is must have! and no need to mention about the desserts.
I was there with my friends on a Saturday morning for the breakfast. Was a treat to enjoy the south Indian delicacy after a long time . Masala Dose, onion uthapam, pongal, idli and masala vade were some of the ones we tried. The Taste and urge to experience the south Indian food pushed us to come back for lunch.
Not sure of the service which people have always complained of, for total foodies like us it really didn't distract.
South Indian and North Indian meals along with masale majjige (butter milk) was a sumptuous meal. Ended the lunch with a beeda from the store round the corner .
Finally found a good Indian restaurant in Wembley. Food is really good. We had ordered dosa , chola bhatura , Puri bhaji , all were superb. Next day we ordered north Indian thali and its really really good. But service is really slow.
For South Indian food, everyone who travelling to london or living in london must have to visit.
Advisable to try only South Indian food.
Enjoy.., South Indian food far away from South india.
The place to go to if you are vegetarian and love South Indian food. Good food and good service. Could improve ambiance. One of the finest tasting South Indian food i have had in the UK.
Okay my cousin was here from Finland and of course had a dosa craving.
Went to the Wembley so he could also buy some Indian ingredients and go to a temple close by.
First of all, excellent sambar. 5 stars. Lots of pepper, really good. Better than Southall.
Had my usual rava masala dosa. He ordered chilli paneer. Super flavour!
Also had the podi dosa, which was good.
Dessert options were limited. :( so settled for the gulab jamun. And of course filter coffee. Phew, I feel stuffed again just writing about it.
Got back kottu roti and chilli paneer for my husband :)
Super value for money too but worth the trek from Waterloo.
One of the best vegetarian South Indian restaurants I've been to! Prices are so reasonable as well!! And portion sizes are huge! Restaurant ambiance is quite basic but the food is authentic and absolutely fantastic! This place is always busy!

Went here tonight to relish some south indian dishes. Found lots of people there even on a weekday so one can imagine how busy they can be on weekends .
On the entrance we can see that there was a buffet system too so we thought first we'll find out whats the buffet menu first before ordering. We saw so many waiters roaming all over the restaurant but no one was there to welcome you on the entrance to provide us with a table. Finally we had to stop one of them to ask for a table of two. Well that lady showed us the table and went off. Very noisy place with lot of chaos among the staff could be seen! Again no one bothers to give u the menu card , there is only a dessert menu placed on the table. After asking for it, one menu card arrived but to a disappointment with missing pages! On asking for a beer which was there on menu card they said they dont serve it as they dont have the license. On asking whats the menu for buffet one of the waiter replied "we dont serve buffet after 10 p.m.". I repeated my question again for the buffet menu thinking he misunderstood what i asked (and it was only 8.30 p.m. by the way) ; he gave us a puzzled look and then started looking here and there.
Management needs to train the staff here as it give back a lot of negative impression!!
We ordered one paper masala dosa, one idli vada plate and one onion chilli utttpam. Sambhar was served cold and the portion of chutneys served is too less and also not very inspiring though the idli, vada and dosa were all good. Dosa in particular is very authentic . Uttpam had real hot chillies in it.
They were so quick in service that the moment we asked for bill, it was there next second. In a hurry to make you leave the restaurant!!!!!!!!!
For cost i would say - pocket friendly. all this cost us £12.
All over above giving it 3.5 because of the food and cleanliness! Hopeless service!!!!!!!!!

The food is authentic and well done BUT the service is hopelessly sub-par! The chain should thank its stars for its massive popularity, because the incompetent waiters seem bent on running it to the ground. All they seem to do is dart from one corner to the other to chat with colleagues, while an endless line of diners wait for a table, while those already at the tables try desperately to flag down a waiter to ask for a menu, their order or even the bill. Take my advice and just grab any free menu you see and when done, just get up and go pay at the cash counter - you'll be doing those waiting outside a huge service.
As far as the food goes - anything and everything works. If you're new to the food, try out a thali (but on an empty stomach - they're humongous). A special note here - the Chinese section is Indianized Chinese and is nowhere close to what you'd expect at any other Oriental place. Indians like me have a taste for it, so if you're craving for some Delhi style chilli potatos, look no further.
Superb food. Excellent service. Lively ambience. Big fan of the Ghee Roast and Rava Onion Dosa.
You go here when you miss home and want authentic south Indian food.
The chain is also in India , so the same quality food is served here as well.
I usually eat loads and take away for next day as well because the price is so darn cheap compared to other places in London. Also, because the location is far off from where I live I cant frequently visit it.
All in all, cheap, awesome, tasty, authentic food and then ending on the filter kaapi - BLISS.
If you like Indian food and are a vegetarian this is the place for you! Great service, clean and most importantly really lovely staff attending to your every need.
The food 👌🏻 oh my…. In heaven the flavours pack a wonderful mix of spices that dance on the tongue. Everything was just delicious.
It’s a hit with locals too I can certainly see why.
Visit and enjoy.
Food was ok, you can visit if you are nearby. It is at walkable distance from the Wembley Central train station. The restaurant staff was good and the place was neat and clean.
So I went to this place called Sarvana Restaurant in Wembley and I had an amazing experience. Our waiter Niyati who took our order was really cool. I asked her about some of the best dishes in paneer she gave the recommendations (Paneer makhni)and was accurate with my taste.
Truly a gem for sarvana restaurant (waiter niyati)
Every time I've been to London I've always eaten in this place and I loved it, especially their indo Chinese food such as their veg noodles but when I went here recently I had their veg noodles and veg Manchurian and the noodles were amazing but the Manchurian was way too tangy other than that 9/10
Lovely restaurant and most of the food was yummy. The south Indian thali was quite spicy but that's a matter of preference. Very busy service but food came quickly and staff were attentive. Only critism was the atmosphere inside was quite loud - a mixture of loud conversations around the tables, noise coming from the kitchen itself and the loud hand dryer near the sinks in the restaurant. Diminished the enjoyment of what was a pleasant family meal.
Amazing food and good price. Bit crowded during weekends but you cannot make a reservation. Staff is very friendly.
They are very few authentic South Indian cuisine places in London.
Saravana bhawan is one of them. An Indian Brand taking the real india internationally.
Podi masala dosa a must have and finish your meal with Indian masala tea 😊.
The meal was super delicious and one one of the finest South Indian meal I have had so far living in the UK from last 12 years. Suganthan who served us was very courteous and polite. Loved the food and experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone coming Wembley.
We came just 30 mins prior to closing time, yet we were served and greeted well. Our food was piping hot and delicious!
I have almost visited this place every week for the past one year. This is the best South Indian food you will get in london/outside India. I would recommend the unlimited South Indian thali which cost approx £9. It is worth every penny. Then, finish it with a cup of South Indian filter coffee which cost around £2.5.
Busy restaurant on a Saturday lunchtime, good veg choices on menu. I had the tailor made dosa with choice of 3 fillings, was delicious and great value. Prompt service. Just around the corner from Wembley Central. Great for vegetarians.
Excellent Thali was served for lunch at price of 10 £ ... Authentic food of south India was served..Hats of the Chefs & service team
A very nice place for Indian food specially south Indian food. The seating arrangement, look and feel all gives you vibes of Indian restaurant. You will not at all feel like you are in UK inside this restaurant. Food just tasted awesome. Staff is all Indian. You can also get some really great sweets like maisoor Pak and others. A must visit if missing Indian tasting Indian food.
The food was delicious and pocket friendly. Brought my parents here who are visiting me and was missing Indian authentic food and Saravanna Bhavan didn’t disappoint.
Open kitchen ensures the hygiene.
Staff is very helpful and friendly especially Meet and Harshil kudos to the service provided.
Will definitely visit again soon.
We ordered- ghee masala dosa, idly Wanda sambhar, podi masala dosa, filter coffee.
