Saravana Bhavan started with a stand-alone store in 1981 in Chennai. Ever since then, there has been no looking back. It is now one of the largest vegetarian restaurant chains in the world. When people think South Indian, they think Saravana. Their ghee roast dosas and meals are to die for! Many other South Indian chains might have come up in Chennai later but this is truly the restaurant chain that has put South Indian cuisine on the world map.
Price for two: INR 400
