Saravana Palace - Fairfax

I stopped the Auberginen-Curry. it was delicious, we will certainly be back!

Great South Indian restaurant. they will be happy. always eat delicious and consistent. primary waiter is very friendly and attentive. I look forward to the buffet again. it was always excellent in the past.

Any chance I was down that way, I would make a point to lunch, even if it was probably out of the way. now while covid, buffets are not going

There is so much on this menu, it's incredible! If you're vegetarian, you can have it all! No worries there! If you're vegan, there are some things you cannot have, like dishes with paneer. However, any dish with ghee, they are happy to have made for you without ghee! Just ask. This is the most vegan friendly vegetarian Indian restaurant I've been to, and I will be back. They have dosas and idly, which are Indian crepe thin pancakes with savory fillings and steamed bread you eat with soup or chutneys. They also have some soups, which I love the sambar and mulligatawny are so good! The menu is filled with so many dosas, it's crazy, but then you get to the entrees and are also delighted to find so many potato and paneer options. If you're vegan, obviously skip paneer. There are still many choices, like chick peas, as well as dishes like eggplant. Try some rice dishes, beyond just biryani. They have some Indochine stuff, too their take on Chinese flavors. The food here is so good, and the veggies are not disappointing. The flavors are complex, though there is definitely spice. If you don't like spice, don't come here. If you like heat/ hot spice, you'll also be happy here! Oh, and check out the buffet!

All vegetarian and huge selection of clearly marked vegan dishes. Very authentic in terms of spice and heat from what I can tell
