Saravanaa Bhavan is a chain restaurant - but one that will make you forget all of your prejudices…read moreagainst chain restaurants. It is a Gujarti Vegetarian Indian restaurant but with other Indian vegetarian cuisines represented as well including Sri Lankan and Indian-Chinese. (If you have never had it - Indian Chinese totally rocks. It is not Indian, It is not Chinese, It is a bunch of fiercely original fusion dishes that put traditional Indian vegetarian ingredients into Szechuan or Cantonese style sauces.) The place is crowded - often with a line waiting out the door. The menu is huge. Everything our party had was outstanding. (Special thumbs up for the Paneer -Indian Cheese- with Chilis in the Indo-Chinese menu - and their Chapatis and Pooris (breads) which show up accompanying many dishes. In fact breads are generally a strong point here and they make many kinds.) The place is unbelievably cheap - which is good to know in London - where cheap and food too often means poisonous. One note for non-Londoners. This particular Saravanaa Bhavan is on Ealing Road near the tube station Wembley Central. That neighborhood is one of three neighborhoods - all on Ealing Road - that have vast numbers of excellent cheap Indian and Pakistani restaurants (including many many subtypes of both). The cluster at the North near the Wembley Central station is the largest with at least a dozen fine vegetarian restaurants to pick from. This part of town is not on the standard "visitor's" trip to London - but it ought to be.

Food was outstanding, service attentive. Enjoyed it very much. We tried dishes native to SriLankaread more

Great Sri Lankan food at Papaya, a lovely restaurant space in Northfields in West London…read more We had mutton rolls and vegetable samosas to start , followed this with a mutton curry, some vegetable fried rice and a beef biryani which included a hard boiled. I had a Lion Stout beer from Ceylon to drink. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, a five minute walk from Northfields tube, which is about 15 minutes ride from Heathrow.

I simply love South Indian / Sri Lankan food. I am Danish but it still reminds me of my childhood…read moreas one of my best childhood friends was from south India. Spicy, addictive and simply good soul food. We knew, looking in through the window, right away that this was going to be a good place. The place was full and it was full of people from India. This had to be a place where they would serve original flavors and spicy food. Based on the shops around and this restaurant this was by far the most full, so we went in based on the fact that if it would be popular for the local people around we would not make a bad choice and we were right. The flavors were better than we expected and I went back in time with the Parottas that they served. I remember my friend and I would sit up all night playing video games and eating the freshly made Parottas that my friends mom had made for me. And the ones I tasted in the restaurant brought me right back to those nights and it was the exact same flavors. I went here with my bf and he can not get Indian food spicy enough so he went for the spiciest thing on the menu / Vindaloo Lamb and he was sweating and smiling at the same time. I had the Madras, spicy but not as spicy and the flavors just burst in my mouth. Vindaloo was too spicy for me so i did not get much flavor but my bf said it was true to the original flavor. With his spicy choice my bf also got a Lassi to sooth his hurting mouth. I must admit I can not remember what he said about the drink but I am sure he liked it. When I go back to London I am definitely swinging by this place again.

This is not a great place for a family meal out. The tables are small and cramped and is more frequented by students than families. The food is very good though and suitable for a takeaway at home.
