I've been to Saravanaas several times and have found the food to be authentic and delish. Definitely worth a shot and appeals to both desis and non-desis alike. The service is business-like and not the most hospitable; but you get what you pay for. You can eat an enormous amount for $20. It can get super-crowded and noisy. Best to go early (say 6 or 6.30pm for dinner and 11/11.30 for brunch or lunch).
Pros: Price, location, authenticity
Cons: Lackadaisical service, noisy
