"It may not quite live up to the hype (featured in a Toronto Star 'best ethnic food suburb in the world' article, and one of the places that US economist & foodie Tyler Cowan dined at), but Saravanna Bhavan in Scarborough is good. \n\nIt was my first visit to a south Indian vegetarian restaurant, so bear with me!\n\nWe visited on Sunday for their lunch buffet, which offers a great range of spicy and mild tastes. VERY good paper dosa - luckily an endless supply from friendly servers - and poori for dipping, spicy potato poriyal (my favourite!), mint & coconut chutneys, channa masala...yum! The only thing I wasn't ecstatic for was the mango pickle dish. For refreshment, we had mango lassi and mango juice - filled to the brim, and perfectly fresh and sweet. :) \n\nIt was steady (not crazy busy) during the lunch hour (12-3pm), but we didn't feel rushed to finish our meal. In fact, we stayed and chatted by the ceiling-high windows for 2 hours! \n\nIf you love Indian food, definitely check this place out. I'll probably be back! :)"^^ . "1"^^ .
