What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Hotel New Sri Sabareesh is celebrated for its authentic and delicious South Indian vegetarian cuisine, with standout dishes like ghee pongal and masala dosa drawing high praise. While many enjoy the quick service and good ambiance, some reviewers have experienced disappointment with food quality and slow service during peak times. The restaurant's popularity means it's often crowded, and occasional issues with parcel pricing and staff attitude have been noted.
"I recently visited Madurai and stumbled upon this hidden gem for breakfast, thanks to a friend's recommendation. The place exceeded my expectations and lived up to its hype. We indulged in their signature ghee pongal, ghee masala dosa, and saffron kesari - each dish was outstanding! The dosa was exceptionally crispy, infused with a rich ghee flavor, and served with an assortment of chutneys and a side of kesari. The pongal was equally delicious, and their tea was a perfect accompaniment. If you're craving authentic South Indian cuisine in Madurai, this place is a must-visit. Plus, it's conveniently located within walking distance from the railway station."

"Today through swiggy I ordered wheat dosas and idiappam. Horrible quality and taste. The wheat Dosa found be stale and very old rice batter mixed with wheat powder. Totally disappointed with the poor quality. Very pathetic quality. Earlier days, Sabareesh used to be a very famous for its quality . But now brand sabareesh name has become a disappointment."

"Located on the Netaji Road near the famous Meenakshi temple, Sri Sabareesh Mess offers a good spread of authentic vegetarian South Indian cuisine. There is paid parking available less than a hundred metres away. The place is so popular that the restaurant is often full. The menu offers a decent spread of traditional South Indian breakfast. The service was very quick. The food was very good - we tried different dosas, vada and pongal."

If you want to try out something other than idlis and dosas, then this is where you can come to, especially when you want great food at a budget price. One of the most interesting things about this place is that this small eatery is decked with a number of old photographs of the city and by- gone era and you will have a lovely time gazing at them. Sri Sabareesh, is however, purely vegetarian but that does not deter food lovers here who most come to try the South Indian thalis.
