Sri Vasantha Bhavan

DELICIOUS, healthy vegetarian food at great prices in the Tri-Valley!! I'm usually not a fan of South Indian dishes but what a delight we've tried Sri Vasantha Bhavan!!! The food here is just absolutely DELISH!! :) Between the 4 of us, we ordered the specials combo dishes and just - absolutely - everything is delicious!!! Their food is fresh, tastes clean with sophisticated layers of spices and flavors. Service is friendly and efficient, coupled with a roomy clean environment. We really enjoyed our dinner and what a great find thanks to Yelp!! We can't wait to be back soon!!!

I go for the dosa specials on weekdays. Great flavor, always hot and fresh tasting. Parking is difficult but they do orders for takeout that still taste well after bringing home. Very clean. Friendly staff.

Today we visited Sri Vasantha Bhavan in Dublin. It is a pure vegetarian restaurant located in a small strip mall. Parking is adequate. We ordered Mini Tiffin and Thali. It is a travesty to call call it Mini tiffin as it is more like a Mega tiffin consisting of small Masala Dosa, One idly, One Medu vada, One bowl of Upma, Pongal and sweet and having sambar, Coconut and Onion Chutney as accompaniment. The mini dosa is also a very decent size and can be called mini only in comparison with regular size order of dosa. I have posted photo and you can see for yourself. Idly, Upma and Pongal are very good and dosa is excellent. Medu Vada, I prefer it more crispier, but then it is an individual taste. Sambar and Coconut chutney are good, but it is worth mentioning that I have had better. Upma was very soft and well cooked and dripped with ghee, just the way I like it. The sweet dish was excellent. The quantity is more than enough for one person. We could not finish and had to take home few of the dishes. Thali is a grand accompaniment of 12 dishes that make it a grand feast. Sweet, sambar, rasam, avial, poriyal, kara kuzhambu, veg kurma, Puri, steamed white rice, yogurt, papad & pickle . Here everything is A grade and if you like traditional simple South Indian meal, you will love this. While the meal is limited, but they will ask you if you need anything else and will happily serve you extra with a smile on their face. Service is outstanding, They go out of their way to make you feel great. We would visit again here. Our best wishes for the entire team.

We had an awesome time and wonderful food at Sri Vasantha Bhavan today . Appreciate the friendly staff as well. We ordered Ravi onion masala dosas, Madurai malli dosa, podi uthappam and Vasantha bhavan thalis. Everything was tasty, authentic and we came away with a nice feeling. Recommend this restaurant for great food and service.

This South Indian restaurant was our Dad's go to during his stay in Dublin. The best aspect about this place is that they actually understand the concept of mild spice -- everything we tried was very tasty but not full of spice! We sampled the mini tiffin thali which came with a small masala dosa, chutney/sambar, medhu vadai, upma, pongal & kesari (sweet). Everything was flavorful; the dosa was especially tasty (which means it was good quality batter). Medhu vadai was also very authentic. They def have a South Indian chef. Ambience was serene, esp. on a Saturday morning. Staff were great. Our only qualm was that everything could have been heated even more thoroughly.... It was warm but South Indian food is best eaten super hot! All in all, this restaurant is a keeper on our list. The next time we will try the South Indian lunch thali :)

Very tasty food. Fast prep and clean place. Good to go with kids. Some food items are spicy so make sure you ask as per taste. People were very quite a a friendly.

food & service - I would like to give 5 stars. tried puri, chola, aloo and kurma. it was very tasty. above all very good service by the owner & servers in the restaurant.

The food here is fresh and delicious! And i loved the tribute to International Women's Day where you provide free breakfast every Friday for the month of March! Will definitely be back!

Food is delicious. Dosa is good . Coffee is very good. Pongal is worth praising, Service is also good.

Pongal is worth praising. Dosas are also good . Coffee is also nice . Service is great .

Good for vegetarians. Good options. Dosa are bit roasted tell them up front if you don't like hard roasted dosas like me. Ambience is okay, regular Indian fast food type. Food is good. I don't say wow but won't disappoint when you are real hungry. Parking is a bit challenging though!!

The dosa here is just so good. Especially the madras masala and the rava dosa. We also loved the paniyaram. Practically inhaled them. The ambiance is lovely and the owner and the servers are very attentive and kind. Highly recommend!

Their dosa's are legit. So far I've had the spring dosa and podi masala dosa, and both were tasty, crispy, and thin

Great authentic South Indian food! Personal favorite is the mysore masala dosa but all are good options. Weekly breakfast spot for me and my family. The people are great and food comes fast. Nice quiet spot.

I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the food that I had at this divine restaurant, because it was too good!! The rice was incredibly fluffy, the masala dosa was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and their idli was to die for! Everything was an explosion of rich and creamy flavors. I will absolutely be coming back here, the best south indian food I've ever had!

Delicious food and very prompt, courteous service. Very neat and clean place. Parking available at front and rear.

AMAZING catered food. Quality, ease of order placement and smooth/timely delivery were ALL top notch! Order extra rotis/puris for catered events, they are extremely generous with portion sizes for curries. Make sure you order to-go boxes for your guests to take the delicious leftovers home. You have to mention - NO ONION and GARLIC if you want saatvic food. Guests were left full and satisfied, we are very pleased with Vasanta Bhavan.

Great stuff especially dosas and south Indian fare. Loved filter coffee also. Nothing fancy but quality food.

Love the Upma here. I would have it everyday if I could. Food in general is good, not salty or oily. I also love the masala chai and filter coffee here. It's low key, but the value from the prices offset the bare bones ambiance of the place. Service is also very quick, not unlike South Indian restaurants you're used to back in India.

Great place for vegetarians. Loved their rava dosa and vegetable biriyani. Lots of varieties to choose from. Ambience was good as well. Service was quick too. 5 stars.

Catered a party recently from here - it was a smashing success! We did a live dosa station, which was delicious and a hit with our guests. We did some appetizers and dessert as well. The crowd favorite (and mine) was the podhi idli. Been there otherwise too, and the food is great, and good prices too. The manager, Mani, was very professional and helpful to deal with for the catering. Highly recommend!

Food is excellent and hospitality is wonderful The way they serve and greet is very well, Tiffen items are served hot and made fresh after order with minimal wait time . Huge fan of their karuveppillai podi Keema idly and puri masala Idlies are super soft and dosas are ultra crispy

Best dosa I've had in the Dublin/Pleasanton area so far. The Podi masala dosa is very good as is the ghee pongal.

We had Medu Vada from Vasantha Bhavan at one of our friend's party (live counter) and it was amazing (didn't had onion and garlic) so we went to have dinner at Vasantha Bhavan from Fremont, CA, Clean and good place for family lunch and dinner, very friendly staff (esp. 2 young guys at the counter and Mani). We ordered Combo (idly + vada), Idly Manchurian, Madurai Malli Dosa, Pizza Uthappam and Thali. Idly Manchurian was crispy, dosas were tasty and thali was best! It was first time we had south Indian curries (dosa idly uthappam is common). Thanks to the server (Mani) who actually explained all the curries in thali! We were full else would have tried filter coffee, probably something for next visit. Highly recommend this place for lunch dinner and catering!

Food so good you want to live at this eatery! Rava Masala Dosa the best ever had. Asked and receive condiment refills no problem. Vegan friendly, vegetarian!!.

Good was ok, we'll go again

Enjoyed the $5 dosa option for breakfast

Very good food

Pretty good food and modest quality and quantity Clean place overall

**Giveaway Alert** Sri Vasantha Bhavan is celebrating Women's History Month this March. Friday breakfast is FREE for all women and 20% off on all menu items during weekdays! Edit: They have a $5 Dosa and Idli offer going on until end of December 2024. Complimentary Chai is included. Grab this fantastic offer now! We visited for Sunday brunch and discovered this offer. Food was exceptionally good, with a wide variety of items on the after-breakfast menu starting from 11.30 am. -> In Dosas we tried Onion Rava Dosa, Ghee Roast Dosa and Gongura Spicy Dosa. All recommended. Loved the crispiness and size of the offerings. -> Gongura Dosa has a layer of green paste generously smeared inside, which is a bit salty. Check with them before you order. Otherwise, delicious if you want to try something different! -> Kaima Idly was another interesting find. These are fried idly pieces sautèd in a tomato gravy with onions and capsicum pieces. Served with dahi raita to balance the spicyness. Give it a try. -> Thali was one of the best we tried. Every item was cooked to perfection and left us licking our fingers. -> Don't miss the delicious filter coffee served in beautiful looking glasses. -> Chutneys and Sambhar have a very inviting taste. We got a chance to chat with the owner, and we absolutely loved his dedication to serve the customers. The food quality has improved a lot compared to the covid phase. I very much recommend visiting this restaurant. Check out the posted pictures and reels on my Instagram page @veggie_central

This is Dublin's best kept secret for Vegetarian and south Indian cuisine and good lovers Very less crowd. Deserves much higher rating Had Thali, was very fresh and homely taste. The service and wait staff was very customer friendly and gave special attention

Good food

Had thali here for the first time and it was just amazing. It’s hard to find every item in thali taste good and these guys nailed it. I really hope quality continues.

One of my fav places to have delicious Indian food..very close to our home made taste. Love especially their thali's. Its also a peaceful restaurant class place and ambience and not noisy or over crowded. Pasting todays special Veg Thali

Decent place with sumptuous portions

Must try Andhra Kara dosa if you love to eat very spicy. Tried many south indian eatary in bay area, this is only shop i found very spicy dosa

We, a family of 7, visited the place for the first time around 3 weeks ago for an early dinner by 6ish. We were the lone customers and service was excellent. Slowly more people started trickling in but the good service continued. Food ordered mini Thali and Mysore masala and masala doseys were yummy, including the chutneys which take a beating at other Indian restaurants. Coffee had just the right taste for me, a south Indian:). Rest rooms were very clean unlike other Indian restaurants. Would wish to visit again although we stay quite far from the place. The manager was a friendly service-centric person.

The best for food, service, speed and price. And very less crowdy

Great food and service!

Highly recommend this place for South Indian food. Their Madurai Malli Dosa, Podi Idly and Karuvepillai idly is delicious. Service was great and restaurant is clean and well maintained
