Horrid service unless you are Indian – I hate to write this, but I drove out of my way some distance to eat here as it was highly rated in Zagat's and elsewhere. Frankly, I have no idea if the food is any good or not as I left in disgust after being completely ignored for some time. It was obvious to me that the restaurant staff is concerned about serving Indian families only, as I observed as several Indian families being seated and their orders taken while I was still waiting and waiting. If you are Indian, I would expect ... read more

The very best South Indian place around... – Me and my husband just love this place and make it a point to visit it every weekend. I am very surprised that people talk about poor service. We couldnt ask for anything more - you are greeted with a smiling face at the counter, seated almost instantly because it has a huge seating capacity (once we saw a group of ~50 people being accommodated with no hassles), the waiter takes the order on his hand-held device and within minutes you get your food piping hot! We have tried mostly... read more

be careful all indian restaurants are rated 4 or more on 5 – There is no Indian restaurant that does not have a 4 / 4.5 star review. Pl be careful. We are an unethical breed of people and inflate our ratings. Least realising that all indian restaurants end up being 4.5 on 5. Pl use word of mouth and personal discretion to visit all of these restaurants. I wish health and happiness in yr experimentation with food.

Authentic food. Amicable service. Affordable prices. – Great variety of North Indian and South Indian food all under one roof. The wait staff is polite and un-hurried. The prices are great too! Very wallet friendly ;-) Their "Kaima idlys" are to die for. If you're on an empty stomach, go for their special thali. This restaurant is a "must visit" on the list of Things-to-do-in-ATL.

Absolutely Lousy Customer Service – I just cannot understand how this restaurant continues to operate. For the last 3 times we have been there, the service has been lousy, food has been mediocre and the customer service absolutely pitiful. At our last visit, we were seated late, despite the visible fact that there were empty tables. We didn't get our food in a reasonable time - which I would expect to be around 10-15 minutes. My daughter's order was delayed by over 30 minutes - well after all the other orders were served and... read more

no longer what it was – I only come to Atlanta a few times a year and up until this trip, I ALWAYS ate here at least once during my visit. I thought it was the best Indian food I'd ever had. Unfortunately when I came on my last visit a few months ago the management had changed and so had the menu and the food. It was certainly not a change for the better, in my opinion. The rice tasted like boil in the bag and the tea was weak. I am so disappointed to have lost my favorite Indian place to eat. I am now on a quest to find a n... read more

BEST VEGETARIAN – Okay people- Look no more for the best indian vegetarian food. First off- the old "madras saravana bhavan" has closed and has opened under new management. This is the original saravana bhavan that is in 54 countries. Check out their website. We are lucky to even access to this restaurant in Atlanta. The food taste just like the Sarvana Bhavan in Chennai-India. Very authentic and a solid dining experience. I highly recommend the Rava Dosa, Palak Paneer and the Parota. Enjoy!

Food below par! – I have to agree with the previous two reviewers. We ate here last week and the food was well below par. The 'masala' in the masala dosas was very bland. Nothing tasted like authentic South Indian food. This restaurant may have been good in the past but it certainly isn't now. We don't plan on going there again.

Run Away!!! – This used to be my absolute favorite Indian restaurant in the city, and I went almost weekly. They recently closed for months for a renovation and rebranding - I went once since it reopened and will never, never be back. It is not AT ALL the same restaurant it was. The menu is completely different, and the quality of both food and service is worlds away from what it once was. The food was just TERRIBLE. The samosas were soggy and served with ketchup. Seriously, ketchup. The spinach in the palak paneer was compl... read more
