Saravana Bhavan

After reaching Munnar town, we were really tired and hungry, so we looked for a place to have a quick meal before heading to the hotel. Google suggested Saravana Bhavan, and my sister supported the choice as she had visited it earlier and praised the food. The ambience was normal, but the staff were welcoming and helpful. As we were a bit confused with the menu, the waiter suggested a few items, and all the food we ordered turned out to be good. The service was also satisfactory. However, there is room for improvement in cleanliness, and parking can be a bit challenging in that area.

Recently, we had the pleasure of visiting Munnar, and while our hotel didn't have an in-house restaurant, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It led us to discover the culinary gem that is Saravana Bhavan, a South Indian eatery that redefines authenticity. Calling it "authentic" would be an understatement. In fact, the food here felt more authentic than anything I've ever tasted before. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant impressed us--not just with its flavors, but with its efficiency. Even with a packed house and a line of eager diners waiting for tables, the service was incredibly quick and seamless. I opted for the quintessential South Indian Meals, served on a traditional banana leaf. This delightful spread included three flavorful sabjis, tangy pickle, creamy curd, a delectable sweet, and generous servings of Kerala rice accompanied by aromatic sambar and rasam. Each dish was a masterpiece. Initially, I thought my hunger was amplifying the flavors, but no--every bite was genuinely extraordinary. The first morsel was a burst of flavors that left me craving more. Whether it's the crispy vada, the perfectly crafted dosa, or even the humble tea and coffee, everything here has a touch of magic. The chef clearly possesses a remarkable talent for elevating simple dishes into unforgettable experiences. If you're ever in Munnar, don't miss Saravana Bhavan. It's not just a meal; it's a memory in the making.

Best vegetarian hotel in munnar Idukki I ordered ghee masala dosa and unlimited vegetarian thali Price was 130rs and 100rs respectively Then I tried filter coffee All the items were awesome and highly recommended. Must try and hit like if it helped u decide your plans at munnar Happy travelling ,

An average maintained yet very busy vegetarian hotel in the heart of the city. Finding a parking slot is difficult but parking your vehicle if you find one is much difficult. The staff was very kind to give kid friendly food.

Avoid this restaurant! I had a bad experience. I tried the mushroom pulao and fried rice, but the quality of the basmati rice was very poor. The pulao wasn't even proper pulao--it was just reheated fried rice with turmeric powder and burnt mushrooms(the fried rice did not even taste like fried rice). Every dish had very little salt. The parotta was passable at best. Service was late but okay.

Very nice place, authentic establishment, friendly, efficient and helpful waiters, food is good and cheap. Pure veg things, full of locals, everything fresh and tasty. Fully recommended for a canteen vibe experience.

Went to this restaurant on the lonely planet recommendation for Munnar and thought it'd be alright. We ate a plain dosa as no aloo filling was vegan and all seemed ok, despite the rude waiter (we ignored it, it happens). I then realised early next morning that I left my cap in the restaurant so waited until they opened and went to enquire. All the staff instantly knew exactly what I was talking about and pointed to where they had left it. A few started to look a bit panicked as they couldn't seem to find where it had gone and all began asking one another. Important to note: I then sat there for 2 HOURS as a man said they would sort it and I was told to wait until the late staff started their shift. I patiently sat as I really wanted my item back (it was new and on the pricey side) but to my disappointment no one knew where it had gone. I was then told after 1.5hrs that the 'cleaning boy' on the late shift must have taken it. The rude waiter I mentioned early found this funny and I'm sure he knew this the whole time as he tried to get me to leave a few times. This made me feel a little more heated. After a few louder requests that I get some information on this, another man told me not to worry and that they would search and pay me the amount lost if not found. I left 3 different numbers to call once they had found my hat. I have had a friend here in India call the restaurant and manager now and they are denying that anything was found. I am aware it was my error, but I've never had an item stolen anywhere else when I've left something and returned within 24hrs. Absolutely appalled and would not recommend going. IF YOU READ THIS - you have my number and I expect my item couriered to my location.

If ur local ,food is ok. If ur non loca... Get ready to get ready to treated and third world person.. Hospitality.. for non traveller from other states was not good.. And worst part.u realize this when travelling with family.. All the best wishes...hope there is improvement and less racist behaviour
