5 /5 Nicola: Vasanta Bhavan in Wembley is one of the best for South Indian cuisine lovers. From the moment you walk in, the inviting aroma of freshly prepared food sets the tone for a satisfying dining experience. I started my meal with idly, which was soft, fluffy, and clearly made fresh. What truly elevated the dish were the chutneys served alongside—coconut, tomato, and mint—all vibrant in flavor and clearly homemade. Each one brought out different notes in the idly, creating a perfect start to the meal.
Next came the dosa, which was crisp on the outside and perfectly complemented by the savory vegetable curry filling. The dosa itself was light and expertly cooked, while the vegetable mix inside was spiced just right—not too hot, but full of flavor. The sambar served alongside was rich and comforting, rounding out the dish beautifully.
To finish, I had a cup of filter coffee, which was nothing short of excellent. It was strong, smooth, and just sweet enough—a perfect end to the meal.
Overall, Vasanta Bhavan is an authentic South Indian with a few twists. Some very healthy options and all of it seemed very fresh.
