Review The Little Sheep - Johannesburg

For superb vegetarian food, this is the place to go. And for vegans too. We enjoyed their dosas and the “special meal”. The food is authentic Indian fare. The place is clean and unpretentious. The service is good, efficient. Also, do try their masala chai and the falooda.

Had an authentic Veg Thaali suitable for vegans as well. There is fresh juice made on the spot. Service is great and the staff are very pleasant and the meals are well priced.

Feel at home at Saravanaa Bhavan We were welcomed by the owner, Zara, who invited us in and helped us to their freshly squeezed juices, which are fantastic. Definitely order yourself a juice when you get here, pssst, go for the Orange and Ginger or the Watermelon, both are awesome. So much food.We had starters, mains and desserts. All of which were quite new to us, seeing as these are very authentic North Indian dishes. Our favourites have to be the Masala Dosa, the Aloo Jeera and the Dhaal Makhnie. Every dish was packed with flavour and quite spicy, but these 3 were just spot on. And don't forget to end off the meal with a good old Masala Tea. The service was good. All the patrons and the owner was very friendly and helped us understand the menu a bit better when we had any questions. It was a tad difficult to order something to drink, and sometimes they did take a bit long with it too. Now we were a group of 20, so that can influence times too. Atmosphere was quite warm and welcoming as soon as we arrived, but we do feel that it lacked a bit on the decoration side of things. All in all, we had a great experience with Zomato and will definitely try them again. TTT's ratings out of 5: Food - 4 | Service - 3.5 | Atmosphere - 3.5 | Value - 4 Saravanaa Bhavan gets Two Tasty Tummies' stamp of approval

Very hospitable and friendly staff. Lovely vegetarian and vegan food. I highly recommend the paneer dosa, ghee pongal and channa bhatura.

Fantastic vegetarian food, in an upmarket type setting, that brings the taste of India to us here in Sout Africa. No need to worry about spicy food,as there are dishes you could choose from that would be more suitable to your pallete

Great variety of delicious South Indian food including Dosas, idlis, uthapam, curries, chutneys, sambar etc. Do not try the madras coffee - quite pathetic and overpriced. The venue itself is neat and the staff are friendly. The establishment is quite busy so be prepared to wait a little. It's quite a loud environment so it's difficult to have a decent conversation. The food is worth the trip!

Now this could be a biased review... and I am calling it out upfront. The reason being, this outlet has its origin from my birth city in India and I used to frequent it... so there you go... hence from the perspective of the cuisine being served, this is my first love. If I have to be unbiased, then I have to use some parameters --- Food Quality (5 star) --- south indian tastes the same as in India Service (3 star) --- if you are used to western concept of F&B service then it's a notch down Price (3 star) --- I feel it's a bit on the expensive side considering the cuisine and when I compare it to the price in India... but for those who are not exposed to these elements will find it moderate. Note that i have reviewed this place for the South Indian food, for North Indian curries and cuisine this is not the place to visit.... lastly, try the South Indian filter coffee it's an experience!!!

Unbelievably good Indian food. Traditional food with amazing staff delivering an unforgettable experience!!! Dosa is truely amazing and an eating experience!

Vegetarian and vegan Indian delights at excellent prices. Great service.

If you are in Johannesburg and craving for South Indian Cuisine then you try this outlet for many South indian Delicacies and ofcourse a Filter coffee.

Delicious and well priced. All vegetarian, but you are not missing meat at all!

Delicious taste, good Hospitality, quick service.

Great vegetarian food I could even get jain food which is divine. I really enjoy myself when I get really tasty south Indian food

Never had southern Indian food before and it was really great to taste something quite different to the more common northern Indian food we're used to in South Africa. We are not vegetarian but the vegetarian dishes (all dishes here are vegetarian) were really tasty, filled us up and felt a lot lighter than meaty dishes although we still ate ourselves into a coma trying many different meals! Fried mushrooms (Chinese starters - incredible), Kaima Idly and Kichadi were my favorites, mini idly (rice patties in gravy), mesa vedu (lentil donuts) and dosa (really generous portion one big crispy crepe, good for sharing, we had the potato and onion filled version) also really good. Mango lassi good

Lovely place for vegetarians this place is a must go ... over 150 dishes for vegetarians fresh juice is squeezed at the juice bar for u... food quality is top notch... a must is the dosas and paneer curries..... Pricing is not too expensive so well worth it....

Good, authenti, South Indian food at very affordable prices. Service is very slow though.

One of the best Indian vegetarian resturants in the whole city, enjoyed every bite

All good except the Sambhar which is key for South Indian dishes..
