What's this? →Nagerkovil Arya Bhavan, formerly Saravana Bhavan, is the place for authentic South Indian food that hits the spot every time. Reviewers rave about the Ghee Podi Dosa and Kothu Parotta, with Basiq serving up a side of attentive service that'll make you feel right at home. It's perfect for a casual meal, whether you're dining solo or with family. If you're looking for a hearty Thali, the generous portions here will have you rolling out the door, satisfied and maybe a little too full.
The vibe is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to satisfy those curry cravings. Just watch out for the spicy dishes if you're not a heat fan; they pack a punch! Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone wanting to indulge in some genuine Indian flavors without any fuss. Just don't expect a Michelin star experience, but hey, who really needs that when the food is this good?
