We had a South Indian thali and a Ghee Rava onion Masala dosa. Both were really good and filling . Made me nostalgic as I could sense the authentic Indian taste .
The place looks busy but the service is quick and we only had a wait period of 2-3 mins .
Highly recommended if you want a good authentic Indian tase at a decent price .
I spent appx 20£ in total for the above order.
The restaurant was very busy however the staff was very friendly and helpful. Geeta, the manager is a lovely lady and very attentive and hands on.
We paid under £10 for each dosa. Highly recommend for the dosas.
A special highlight for our family was my daughter’s excitement over their Cheese Dosa. Being a big fan of cheese, she absolutely loved it, which made the experience even more special for us.
Overall, we were all very pleased with the meal and the service. A big thanks to the team for making our breakfast outing so enjoyable!
Arya Bhavan in Tooting is the place to be for such an experience.
A plate of idly and meduvadai came with 3 chutneys that were a delight in itself . But the show stopper was the flavourful Sambar.
Masala dosa with its perfectly seasoned potato filling could suffice as a meal in itself.
Veg utthapam was a slight let down because the veg bit had chunky carrots and beans that lacked any flavour.
I'd visit this place again, if for nothing then only to have it's Sambar.
The whole meal for 2 cost £20 only.
I'd give this place a 4/5 rating.
I ordered their Chole Bhaturas and man was I not disappointed with that at all. The Bature was the size of my whole plate. 😎
The bonus was the millet selection of dosas. High protein, nutritious and tasty.
Would love the addition of millet idly then it will be my go to place for breakfast.
Loved the fact you could have more chutneys and sambhar just like in India.
Tomatoe chutney was very tasty.
Very busy with a good turn around. Wish they opened downstairs as very tight seating.
Just what Tooting needed good tasty food economically priced.
Older reviews refer to sharvana bhavan which was different with limited choice and bland taste.
Enjoy our menu and experience the taste of South India
