Food quality and pricing
| Address: Kodambakam |
Food taste very bad.. but price is too high for that quality.. they aren't giving pulka/roti separately without gravy.. buying with or without gravy is customer choice.. they have mentioned price separately but not giving it separately.. compelling us to buy both roti and gravy..

service very slow and billing counter being very rude
| Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560011 |
My recent experience with bangalore main road, kurubarapalli, krisghnagiri, sikkari medu, tamil nadu 635115 branch hotel being very bad as the service was very very slow and the assigned member to the table was not in uniform. When questioned why so late service they answered shortage of plate. Hence we decided to take parcel as we waited and no response. We asked for parcel at cash counter. The lady being very rude and answered we cannot give parcel. This video s not the first time i have seen lady being rude as i frequently travel and a regular visitor to the hotel. Request admin to consider as the behaviour of the staff has an impact on the reputation of the hotel.

insulting
| Address: 75 A Mcn Nagar 3rd Street, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600097 |
This is mouli from chennai.2 days before i visited tirupathi for dharshan with my wife and 4 years old kid. After a long walk and dharshan we came to tirupathi bus stand and wanted tohave food at your saravana bhavan tirupathi., but since it was almost 3.30 pm we had doubts if we would get meals and luckly we got meals. But before the meals came we were sitting in a row and they said to shift to another row, after that the meals came and they started to clean the floor near to us. So i just told the billing person to stop for 5 mins so that we would finish our lunch. Instantly he shouted at me and asked me to leave. I did not even start to eat the lunch. As they started to broom the dust started to come so i requested them to wait. But instead they asked me to leave. I think this is the worst behaviour of your employee to tell someone to leave when they have not even started to eat. This is a disgrace to me and my family, if you do not take action on this., i think saravana bhavan will never ever prosper. Let them fear for god atleast. Do not employ such rogues hereafter atleast.

poor service
| Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 603103 |
Today visited saravana bhavan, navalur for ordering breakfast and ordered idli vada combo (2 idli 1 vada). First they took a long time to deliver, more than 30 minutes and then i took the food and noticed no sambar was given and also a vague looking chutney which was terrible. Overall no value for money and very arrogant attitude
This has happened several times in the past too, they hive off a vague looking kuruma (Possibly leftover) instead of sambar and they have become a bad name for the brand

challenge in quality of food served and fraud happening to take away order
| Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu |
Today by 8.30pm in person at valasarawalkam branch ordered for butter nan and curries. It was a take away. They just applied ghee on old nan which was chill, also inspite of large curry ordered they forged me with regular one. When i asked them they took 1 hour to change it and give me after regular followups.
Preference was given only to online providers, whom were supported by 10min of service.
Even security allows vehicles of online providers to park and ask others to park outside parking area.
To complaint no one answered and even said that there are no managers in the hotel.
It is also not so to be boosted by hotel on taste or quality of food. The customers who step in only on some conditional basis, like tea meet / floating customers / for social status mentality people.
Worst attitude of supplier, manager and security.
Will never step in or recommend anyone who comes from other state/inner state.
For you people, if one come with glitters you all bend and show the maximum smile just for the sake of tips.
Respect for a person coming in car and bikes are also classified.
All this could be confirmed via cctv over there.
On whole the entire food which i bought was distributed to road pets as we were not able to eat.
I don't know without customer satisfaction how this business runs. I believe this chain of hotel will shut in a span of 1 year.
As me a media person, would also try to show cause shortly.

high parcel charges
| Address: 600089 |
Hi - i would like to bring to your notice about illegal billing happening in hotel saravana bhavan, thirumanglam brach, chennai. Today i purchase breakfast from this hotel for rs.324 (Total bill amount), since i was in a hurry i did not verify the bill properly. After reaching home i found that they have charged rs. 41.80/- as parcel charges which is around 15% of the entire bill. On top of this they are also adding another 5% towards gst. This is absolutely a day robbery and none of the hotels have such high charges. I would request you to take strict action since they are cheating thousands of people everyday by levying this high charges.

discrimination
| Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600100 |
Dear sb,
I am writing this on regard to the humiliating experience, i had while going to saravana bhavan navalur - omr.
I usually go in car, and i am respected very well during those visits.
Today morning, i reached there in my motorbike and then came to know the real face of discrimination at your outlet.
I was treated like someone who was looking for alms at the hotel. Since i came in a bike, will i pay any less for the food i am going to have?
This worst attitude towards customers will only throw you down the abyss more and more.
Wake up to this discriminating behavior before its too late.
Thanks,
Naveen

coffee
| Address: 600005 |
We had tiffin and coffee on 11.10.17 at mount road (Near anna statue) saravana bhavan. The coffee served was of very inferior quality worst than railway canteen coffee. When i asked the coffee maker he was not polite but said "you are only complaining, but all others are drinking without hesitation". We go to hotel saravana bhavan to have quality food and good filter coffee (Even though they charge high) only. The coffee he should have changed but the answer he said was hurting. Hope they will maintain their old standard of coffee in future and make staff to be customer friendly.

Insult hurled at me!
| Address: Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, 631501 |
I am a regular diner at Saravana Bhavan hotels be at Chennai or Kanchipuram alone, with family, with friends, with official visitors regularly for treats also. I usually dine in the AC room only. The bill amount would normally between Rs.500 to even Rs.3000/-. I went to Saravana Bhavan Gandhi Road Branch this[protected] morning around 9 am. I was clad in high quality T Shirt, Track Pant and sports shoes. I had over 5000 in my wallet as usual this morning at the time of visiting that hotel. I got seated in the table near the wash basin just between wash area and cash counter. Seated in the left corner seat near passages. I did not feel like going into AC room as it was morning. After few minutes the server approached me for orders. The conversations were in Tamil. I ordered special rava. He said no available but suggested Dry Fruit Rava. I agreed. Asked him to bring it. I never asked for menu as I knew what would be the rate of such a dosa. After some time one Mr.R****n(may be order taker) came by my side. He leaned by my side, I thought he came to confirm orders. I told him I already ordered Dry Fruit Rawa. He did not listen and showed me the menu, said in a husky voice. "The rate is Rs135/- . Do you have it?". I have never never never had such a bad experience in my life - in my visit to hotels. I felt thoroughly harassed, insulted before the hall full of diners. I shouted at that, showed him the purse. I felt very very very very angry. Another supervisor approached to find out what was happening ? He just asked R****n"why did you mention amount?" I checked in the office room. There was nobody to lodge complaint. R****nstarted apologizing but I felt insulted beyond that I scolded that person and left the scene. I went to take my scooter - R****ncame running outside - pleaded guilty - I was not convinced. He would have seen me many times in that branch and should have behaved politely. Hell with arrogant Saravana Bhavan - Horrified Professor Venugopal

Arrogant approach of staff
Leave the price, atleast they can give good service. Today I visited Vadaplani branch which is also their corporate office and gone their by two wheeler. I parked the vehicle in the parking space and after taking parcel, I found my vehicle thrown out to road. When I approached the manager, I didn't get responsible reply and he along with the security turned against me stating that I parked in the four wheeler space. When I asked why it was not told while parking. he told that it is our responsiblty and asked to listen the words of security. Along with my vehicle six more vehicles also thrown out to road, which shown their responsibility and our irresponsibilities.

The utensils which are provided are unhygienic and there is a delay in providing the food. Spoons are too small to consume rice items. Completely its not worth for money.I have also attached the pictures of the utensils they serve.

HOTEL Saravana Bhavan has become a joint for the rich who throw away money for moderate quality and poor quantity.
The other vegetarian hotels bench mark their prices to saravana Bhavan for poor quality.
No one seem to bother. The Government should take action and fix the prices of common dishes like Idli, Vada, Sada Dosa, Upma, Poori and
Plate meals, just as NTR did during his tenure in Hyderabad and AP.
Otherwise a day will come that the salary of a common man will not be sufficient to a have a square meal in a restaurant
