Saravanaa Bhavan is explicitly described on its own website as a 100% vegetarian restaurant chain — 'the largest South Indian vegeterian restaurant chain in the world' — with no meat dishes on the menu. The entire menu consists of vegetarian South Indian, North Indian, and Indo-Chinese dishes.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The venue's website claims to offer 'world class vegetarian and vegan South Indian cuisine,' suggesting some vegan options are available. However, many South Indian dishes contain dairy (ghee, buttermilk, curd, yoghurt) and the thali/meals set explicitly lists curd, buttermilk, and raitha. No allergen marking on individual dishes and no dedicated prep area for vegan dishes is mentioned. Shared prep with dairy is the structural reality.
