👍👍 I can't believe I've never stopped in before. Thoroughly enjoyed the service and the incredible curries. Definitely try the Dosa!! But everything we ordered was incredible. The restaurant is run by the same team who manage the temple and it's spotless! Thoroughly recommended.

    Seriously good restaurant- this indian restaurant is located next to the temple (you don’t need to stick to the dress code required in the temple) and it has a large safe carpark. The food is very cheap and delicious, all vegetarian, spicy but not too hot. The atmosphere is very nice, friendly and colourful and most of all clean! If you have been in numerous restaurants in Nadi you may understand that there are quite big differences in that respect. They also serve desserts. We went to eat with a family of four and went for the menu options - each menu cost between $8-12 and contained a variety of yummy items such as dhal, several curries, roti bread, chutneys, pappadam etc. also lots of nice $1 items as add on. I can highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

    Excellent authentic South Indian cuisine. Only vegetarian stuff served here. They have idlis,dosas, chappatis, samosas, all sorts of vegetables. Big clean restaurant beside the Murugan Temple, Nadi. Washroom very clean. Therefore if you are in Nadi and want to taste the real South Indian food please go there.

    Had a good dinning experience. The restaurant is fairly vast with good amounts of seating. The food was fairly well presented and certainly authentic to taste. It was a touch on the bland side for my personal tastes however.

    Very laudable effort by the Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple Trust. I found the restaurant well maintained and the quality of food was commendable. I ate here for the first time and found the quality of food and taste at par or better than most competitors operating commercially in Fiji Islands. We had ordered Mysore Masala Dosa, Medu Vada's and Dahi Vada's along with tea. Found the food well prepared, tasty and wholesome (though the serve size of Sambhar could have better). The Dosa itself was good but with more practice - the cooks will be able to dish out crispier Dosa's. No complaints for the Medu Vada's - they were made perfectly. The Dahi Vada was a let down (as the were hard). The chutney's served to us that day were a touch salty... something to consider!

    Large dining area. Tasty and well spiced curries. The mint and lemon juice was too sweet but the food was well priced. Definitely visiting again. Highly recommending all those Indian food lovers out there. So far the best vegetarian restaurant. The best customer service I have received whilst in Nadi. Edit: the restrooms are bang on clean, well sanitized and up to date with toilet rolls, napkins and hand soap.

    Excellent and very well priced vegitarian restaurant. Purchase at the counter as you enter and take a seat with your drink. Food is brought to your table.

    Not the real Saravanaa Bhavan. A temple canteen with limited menu items. Get there early to avoid disappointment. Tasty food.

    - something is better than nothing - not a place with sufficient food and crowd happening - service is quick though - hole in the wall place - not typical saravana food taste nor quality. - part of the temple premises

    Rip off . Sold me gulab Jamuns at 70c each that were stale and dry . Then overcharged me 5.00 that I didn’t discover till we drove away . It seemed deliberate as. Very shocked at the audacity to call themselves devout but then steal . Not ok guys .

    (Translated by Google) Without any expectation, the food is surprisingly good! We ordered Masala Dosa Meal, Roti + Poori with curry. Just next to the landmark-Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple, easy to found. Very friendly staff. The temple was closed, and Google found a good restaurant next to it. There were a few people in it and their appearance was not good, so I did n’t expect much, but I really felt good after the food came. Ordered Masala Dosa Meal, Roti + Poori with curry, I feel very authentic (not experts can only give an objective evaluation), freshly squeezed watermelon juice with too much sugar, and the service is also very good, and I suddenly took a small portion and fried it with bitter gourd The snacks tasted for us, and they tasted very good. There are several Chinese restaurants in the town, but there seems to be more penetration of India here, and she was pleasantly surprised. (Original) Without any expectation, the food is surprisingly good! We ordered Masala Dosa Meal, Roti + Poori with curry. Just next to the landmark - Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple, easy to found. Very friendly staff. 寺廟關了,就Google找到旁邊的這家餐廳有不錯的評價,裏面寥寥數人加上其貌不揚,所以沒有太多期待,但食物來了後真心覺得很不錯。點了個Masala Dosa Meal, Roti + Poori with curry,感覺很正宗(不是專家只能給客觀評價)就鮮搾西瓜汁加太多糖,服務也很好,後面還突然拿來一小份用苦瓜來炸的小吃給我們嘗嘗,味道很特別很不錯。鎮裏是有好幾家中餐的,但這裏印度的滲透好似更多,果然遇上驚喜。

    Excellent vegetarian Indian restaurant. Foods are ready and will run out the later it gets. Fresh, flavorful, and spicy!! Diverse menu, I recommend the coconut chutney. It’s mild flavors are subtle and out of this world!! Samosa is simple with just potato, no carrots, onions, or peas, but it’s spiced well and the wrapper is crisp and wonderful!

    The food was lovely and staff really friendly however not everything on the menu is available everyday. Drink the mint lemon juice it's yumm.

    Masala dosa was perfect, and the chutneys had a great mild spice to them. Very affordable, clean, friendly and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Russ G. 11 months ago on Google
    Great place for South Indian cuisine. Had several of the dosas, but my favorite was the Mysore cheese masala dosa. Interesting, unusual, and spicy.

  • 4/5 David J. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a microcosm of Fiji. The service is slow and chaotic, the food is absolutely delicious, and the decor has all the ambience of a visit to the dentist. The prices were reasonable and the portions large. Everything was deliciously spicy and rich with local ingredients like cassava and coconut milk. Highly recommended, just sit back and watch the chaos unfold.

  • 5/5 Pradeep S. 5 months ago on Google
    Great south Indian vegetarian food. Excellent breakfast as well as lunch options. Wonderful Medu Wada, Masala Dosa and other delicacies. Unfortunately, it closes early at about 3 pm. Should be kept open for evening snacks and dinner.

    Highly recommend. Southern Indian vegetarian, beautiful flavours, great variety, generous amounts and amazing value. On both trips to Nadi, we have eaten here.
