Saravana Bhavan Sydney

Celeb chefs add star shine to Moon Festival

Shekar from Saravana Bhavan and Mark Arnold from Winetrust Estates are trying to create a wine list for south Indian veg cuisine

It seems that wine has come full circle. While traditionally wine is used with European or English food and to a limited extent with North Indian food (especially non-vegetarian food), wine with South Indian vegetarian food is something that has never been tried before. A plate of idli or a masala dosa with a glass of wine is unheard of!! But it is not impossible to match these humble ‘tiffin’ items with the right wine, giving them a more grandeur status – wine has that effect on all things animate and inanimate!

So with this very novel idea, Shekar from Saravana Bhavan approached Mark Arnold from Winetrust Estates and two of them decided to embark on this new journey together. Saravana Bhavan is well known among all Sydney siders as a restaurant that serves up authentic and tasty South Indian food from the idlis, to dosas galore, uttampams, bondas, vadas, varieties of rice preparations and lip snacking sweet dishes. Situated on Philip Street in Parramatta, Saravana Bhavan is always bustling with diners from different parts of Sydney.

Shekar and Mark together are hoping to take South Indian dining to completely new level. The introduction of wine to the menu is going to not only add that touch of sophistication but open up the menu by widening its reach. While traditional South Indians may be happy with their filter coffee, a glass of wine would be a pleasant available option for the diners who are not just from other parts of India but to non-Indians too. A lazy Sunday afternoon brunch of idli and masala dosa with a nice glass of wine is a heavenly prospect indeed. Read Full Story For Saravana Bhavan Sydney
