What people say, in short
Saravana Bhavan's Delhi recommendations are pooled here on its Connaught Place location. Ghee roast dosa attracts repeated praise; one diner recommends the sambar sadam and another the mini tiffin. Janpath is also repeatedly named, including a diner's preference for that outlet. The praise is not unanimous: diners describe declining quality, disappointing meals and long waits, and two criticise the service. Those experiences do not all concern the location shown.
