What HK doesn't like about Adyar Ananda Bhavan:
You'd expect A2B at NYC to have some class, but no! I do not understand why they would hire college kids to work here, who have basically no understanding of how to talk to the customer. The kid who worked here was rude and unprofessional and was rushing me from ordering the food to paying the bill. Extremely unprofessional. View all feedback. What Nandan likes about Adyar Ananda Bhavan:
The A2B was excellent! The service is incredibly quick, but be aware that it fills up fast on weekends, as it's a small place. We tried the masala chai, mango lassi, and filter coffee, all of which were authentic. For food, we ordered the Mysore masala dosa and samosa chaat. The portions are generous! The sambar was outstanding, and the overall serving sizes were impressive. It's definitely a fantastic restaurant! View all feedback.
