This place has been top most choice whenever I feel like having indian food in KL. Fantastic Taste, Quick Service and Right Portion to make you feel at home. Equally good for north and south indian food. A must go whenever I'm in KL

Dont miss South Indian food while in KL. Just look for this joint in Little India in Kuala Lumpur. The moment you step in you are not in KL any longer, right from the Tamil waiters to the food and the music.... dont forget to try "Vegetarian Chicken" its awesome

I think the food here has been cooked.The veggie is over cooked and it's too soft till you can't get the real taste of it.Food are not so fresh and over priced too.There are many Indian restaurant around Bangsar maybe about twenty of them so you can always choose the right one

Saravana Bhavan belongs to the chain of restaurants with the same name in South India. The quality of the food is excellent. Service is quick and efficient. We mostly had dosas, uthappam and parotta / kurma. Excellent! Staff are very nice here! Highly appropriate for vegetarians, and families. Prices are very reasonable. This place is just around the corner from... More

Food here can be very inconsistent but mostly its so over spiced that you dont taste the vegetables but the spices instead. Try sangeetha's in masjid india or 'WTF cafe' in Bangsar instead.

Staff here tried to sell us more food than we wanted and actually got angry when we didn't order drinks. Were complaining among each other loudly deliberately so we could hear. The place was almost empty so it's not like we were taking up a table that would otherwise be taken by someone who would order more. We looked around... More

The location brick field is much convenient and comfortable than the other one. Food was very tasty even though it is at a higher price... More

I used to be a big fan of SVB sweets. The standard has gone down now. However, few of their food items are still tasty. Service is good. Must Try: Breakfast & Dinner: Kichadi Kara Thosai Parotha (with potato masala & vege khorma) Gravies: Vege Kofta Punjabi Dum Aloo (slightly sweet) Rice Varieties: Paneer Pulao Snacks: Vadai Mushroom Rogan Josh...

We were visiting Kuala Lumpur as a family for 4 days, in the sight seeing hop on hop off bus that we took, I noticed the Saravana Bhavan from the bus and we thought we should go have dinner that night. It turned... More
