Saravana Bhavan is like the Shiv Sagar of Chennai. It’s all over the place, and even beyond, with branches in Singapore, UAE, USA and various other places.

    I’ve eaten at quite a few HSBs outside Madras – Delhi (two), Wembley (UK), California (USA), Missisauga (Canada), etc. and I must say that they all uniformly suck. They’re all way overpriced (in comparison to the only “moderately overpriced” HSBs in Madras) and are way way overcrowded, and usually serve small/non-filling/fake stuff. Kinda sad, really.

      Don’t know about the rest of the places, but there are two Saravana Bhavans in London (one in Wembley and the other in Eastham). The one in Eastham serves pretty decent food, though it is extremely overcrowded.
