The Bottom Line

Saarangaa Bhojan Shala is a vegetarian South Indian restaurant in Discovery Gardens, and breakfast is one of its strongest draws. You can order masala dosa, onion rava dosa, idli, vada, mini tiffin and filter coffee; reviewers particularly praise the crisp dosas, chutneys and savoury sambar. Sunday brings a buffet breakfast with dishes such as dosa, idli, medu vada, dahi vada, pongal, puttu, puri, sweets, tea and coffee.

It is described as generous and reasonably priced, making it useful for families or groups who want plenty of choice. The restaurant also gets positive comments for fresh preparation, polite service and clean surroundings. Television for children is a practical touch when dining with small kids.

There are a few things to plan around. Weekend crowds can mean waiting for a table, and parking is not always clear; one visitor ended up using paid parking. Takeaway portion concerns and an undercooked, heavily seasoned Special Biryani were also reported, so quality may not be uniform across every order.

For a first visit, the dosa-focused breakfast menu and filter coffee are safer starting points than relying on one less consistently reviewed dish.
