NK Arya Bhavan - (Near Redbridge, South East)

4 /5 Naveed Ahmed: Very nice authentic South Indian cuisine veg restaurant. The masala dosa I had was pretty gud but can be better. Overall a nice restaurant with good food quality.

1 /5 Nie Sonaiya: I went to Arya bhavan this evening with my friend and family. Looking at the Ambience we thought this is a nice place but we were proven wrong. We ordered starters and main course and dosa. The dosa came first then came the starters. Then we were served with bread and when asked about the cury we were informed it is coming soon. The bread and the cury was not freshly made and was frozen food warmed up and served. We were then served another starter. The bread was half cooked as well. There are better options available in the same street.

5 /5 Rashmi: All locals were waiting for Arya Bhavan to open, well it opened for soft launch on 3rd May, and as soon as I know, I was there. Place is inviting as its new and well lit interiors, staff were enthusiastic, courteous & polite. Service too was prompt with no rush & hush etc. Their menu too is quite elaborate, with millet dosa, paneer parotta on menu, we definitely have more options to try out. Coming to food, I found food bland, it was lacking in flavours but good part was it was not spicy, as flavours don’t come by making food spicy & hot (lately I don’t go to Sarvana as it has become super spicy for me including chutney, and I just can’t handle it) Here on the other hand, I felt simple spices like ginger, chola masala etc were not enough to bring out flavour in chutney, chola etc. Secondly, it was a little put off that restaurant was not at all busy, its soft launch & on ordering chola bhatura, first bhatura that came was flat. Common its first impression, building & creating that space when one giant is there locally already. To sum up this place is local, so I will give it a second try, already planned second visit with friends but standing as of now they need to work little bit on flavours without making it spicy so that food becomes more flavourful & palatable. Update: Well I had gone on 27th June for second visit, and this place is complete turnaround when it comes to flavours, sambhar was so very tasty & chutney just perfect. I ordered Jain Vegetable Dosa & it was amazing. I tried paper roast ordered by my friend & that too was fab. I am changing stars given, Misbah took care of us very well, serving chutneys & sambhar, she was quite a gem. I am visiting this place now often as being Vegetarian, and just walking & now with amazing flavours & not outrageously spicy like sarvana, this place is just perfect.

1 /5 A A: Visited Arya Bhavan Barkingside for dinner today for the first time, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The restaurant wasn’t busy when we arrived, so we expected quick service. We were given menus and were ready to order within five minutes, but there was no staff around to take the order — we had to wait until I managed to catch someone’s attention. Despite only a handful of customers, the food took quite a long time to arrive. The samosas were absolutely terrible — bland, with barely any filling. When the rest of our food arrived, the masala dosa came much later, and even then, the taste was nowhere close to the standard of places like Saravanaa Bhavan. Overall, poor service and disappointing food. Sorry to say, but I won’t be returning.

5 /5 MULAYANKAYI RUWAIS: “Had a wonderful experience at Arya Bhavan today! The food was delicious with authentic flavors, and the service was excellent. A special thanks to Fathima Hidha for her warm and attentive service—she made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for great food and great hospitality!”
