About
While the food remains enjoyable, the flavor isn't quite as vibrant as it used to be. You'll find ample seating and a clean environment. Though the menu is now smaller than pre-pandemic, this restaurant still stands out as one of the best around. The service, however, remains exceptional, with everyone being polite, friendly, and truly wonderful.
We visited Saravana Bhavan in Edison, NJ on Mother’s Day, as a stop on our way to Vraj Hindu Temple. It was the perfect spot for a comforting and flavorful South Indian vegetarian meal.
We ordered Mango Lassi, Sweet Lassi, Diet Coke, Rava Masala Dosas, Mysore Bonda, Kaima Idli, Chole Bhature, and ended with a refreshing Shingoda Paan. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The dosa was crisp, the Mysore Bonda was perfectly spiced, and the Kaima Idli was a unique and delicious twist. The Chole Bhature was flavorful and filling. The paan at the end was the perfect touch.
Having been to Saravana Bhavan in different cities across the USA — and even in Chennai during my US visa interview trip — it’s always a pleasure to see the consistent quality and taste across locations.
The Edison branch is clean, welcoming, and well-organized, even on a busy holiday like Mother’s Day. Service was quick and courteous, and it made for a lovely family meal experience.
Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic South Indian vegetarian food in New Jersey.
Had our dinner here last night, although we been here so many times before specially on weekends, on a week day there was no such rush or waiting but the place was pretty occupied and food was bought to the table quick, South Indian Thali curries we not as good as every-time it was very average for the money we pay, maybe on weekends they might have more other options but we still pay the same amount. Madras filter coffee and Poori is our favorite here. The server who was helping was kind and had good customer service.
Visited this restaurant for the first time this week. Had been to the one in NYC earlier, but would prefer the one in Edison over it, due to the service and space. There is a good amount of space between the tables and the seats are comfortable and one can enjoy the meal and talk in peace. The waiter who served us was so kind, and made good suggestions. We had dosa and medu vada and both were extremely tasty. But the best part was the sambhar, it's rare to find good sambhar in the US. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I would give it a 6 stars if possible!! We ordered ghee pongal, medu vada and onion rava dosa for breakfast. We came at 10am. Everything was fresh, tasted so authentic, food was served hot, and it was a very quick service. Staff kept checking for chutney sambar refills. Only feedback is prices are on the higher end, would be great if they can reduce a few dollars.
