I had dinner at this restaurant. Mini sambar Idli & Dosai I take away in Extra parotta three piece. Opposite this RAWAT INDIAN restaurant Chicken Tikka Masala buy it and try it, it will be excellent.
I would say if you are craving south Indian food, it is a nice place for some reasonable food and beverages. Else nothing will be missed. Food is good n ok, but service was slightly off I will say.
Saravanaa Bhavan on Hobson Street is one of the best places in Auckland for authentic South Indian vegetarian food. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The dosas, idlis, and vadas are perfectly prepared — crispy, soft, and full of authentic flavour. The sambar and chutneys taste just like in India, rich and delicious. The thali meals are also great value and give a real taste of traditional Indian cuisine. Service is quick, and the restaurant is always clean and well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone who loves genuine Indian vegetarian food!
I had North Indian Thali in the lunch here today(i.e. 26 Aug 2025). All the items were very delicious. The spices and flavour of the Sabjis were excellent.The thali had Dal,3 vegetables including one paneer sabji, raita,salad, papad, pickle, veg pulao,tandoori roti and Gulab Jamun. The quality of yellow dal was too good.The price was very reasonable (less than 25 NZD). The staff was caring and courteous. The ambience of the restaurant is very good.
Hands down the best vegetarian South Indian dish in Auckland! Authentic flavors, perfectly spiced, and truly satisfying. A must-visit for anyone craving real South Indian cuisine.
South Indian flavours in Auckland! Quality has improved with food since my last visit which was 2 years ago. Madras Filter Coffee is good but there is room for improvement.
I was really happy with the food and thankful for the staff for taking on board my preferences of the palak curry to be vegan and mild. Really appreciated how we could place an online order but specify we want to dine-in so that the food was ready when we arrived. It’s really helpful to save us ordering time! The staff who served us were really polite and friendly too, I note their nicknames being the moon and the star. Aiming to come back regularly!
My soul just satisfied with this authentic south Indian breakfast buffet. I loved everything they served and good service as well. Try to skip the very corner table at the restaurant, they usually cant see you over there and it would hard to get the live dishes like puri and dosa.
Pathetic, literally disgusting and test less food. I have been to atleast 5 different Sarvana Bhavans in different cities (Sydney and Melbourne) and I was overwhelmed with the quality of food. So I was expecting somewhat same quality but here OMG waste of money and waste of travelling from airport to CBD. In the pics you can see the Manchurian literally without any sauce (basically it was fried ball of veggies) and disgusting Pav-bhaji (I am not a good cook but i can 101% make better pav-bhaji than this). And big NO to Rava-kesari pleaseee. Please chooose your restaurant wisely. Not issues with any staff, they were slow but good as it was busy time.
