Delicious traditional South Indian food, good ambience and service. Their puri masala and masala dosas are the must try items. Would definitely recommend someone want to try good south indian dishes.

If you're craving authentic South Indian cuisine, Saravanaa Bhavan in Brampton is a solid choice — but be warned: reservations are highly recommended. On our first attempt to dine here, we were met with a staggering 50-minute wait time, forcing us to reroute to their Scarborough location instead. This isn’t a reflection on poor service — quite the opposite. The crowd is a testament to the restaurant’s popularity and consistent quality. Learning our lesson, we made a reservation for our second visit and arrived at 11:30 AM for lunch. Even at that early hour, the place was already full. Thankfully, our booking ensured a smooth and timely dining experience. Having visited various Saravanaa Bhavan locations across continents, we can confidently say that this Brampton outlet lives up to the brand’s global reputation. The food, service, and overall experience remain impressively consistent — they’ve never let us down. Whether you're a regular or new to Saravanaa Bhavan, this location delivers — just make sure to book ahead.

It’s a great spot to try South or North Indian vegetarian dishes. I had the paneer uttapam, where the paneer was grated and minced inside, while my friend opted for the cheese version—both were enjoyable. The chutney wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it was still good. We also tried the ragada chaat, which was flavorful. They even serve paan. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and helpful. It’s a nice place to visit with family and kids.

The chilli mushroom dosa was super delicious. We had chettinad Kara dosa as well and it was pretty average. The service is one of the best and they take good care of customers. They give you unlimited sambar and chutneys. Very well maintained and hygienic

Dosas are with good stuffing and taste super yummy. Staff is always welcoming and polite. SERVICE IS REALLY QUICK. I never had to wait for more than 5-7 minutes for food. Chai and Idli is highly recommended. Will try other varieties of Dosa next time.

Possibly the best South Indian food I’ve ever had! The dosas were perfectly crisp, and every dish was packed with authentic flavors that transported me straight to Chennai. Priya and the other server provided exceptional service—their recommendations were spot on and much appreciated. Don’t miss the freshly made mango milkshake; it was absolutely delicious and the perfect complement to the spicy food. The restaurant was also impressively clean and hygienic, which added to the great experience. If you’re craving authentic South Indian cuisine, this place is a must-visit!

Short of words to describe my experience here. I would rate this location higher than all the locations I have visited thus far. Although, this location is smaller in terms of size than others in Ontario and US however this one is the best. Food quality Food temperature Service Staff friendliness Cleanliness vegetarian Portion Go-to place South-Indian food Dessert (it really sucks to be honest, “gajar ka halwa” is dry and you might not like it, same for other desserts they offer) Pan (usually out of stock) Chutney Dosa Pongal Podi Idly Recommend this location? Worth your time and penny! Amazing food and great customer service. We were served by “Priya Nemani” and we couldn’t have asked more for a better service. Highly recommend this location than Mississauga and Scarborough.

The food was awesome! The taste, quality and portion was right up there! The best part was the filter coffee! Must try the filter coffee if you like indian style coffee. Overall really good place for South Indian food and you can have it anytime in your day.
