Adyar Ananda Bhavan - A2B - Featured Reviews (15058)
A fine dine which has stayed consistent in its service and quality from quite a few years. They have various range of sweets, chats and other eateries. While the atmosphere is decent, the taste of the food has always been average(Atleast according to me) for which I feel it to be a little overly priced. Nevertheless, it doesn't go below its quality ever which makes it a safe choice.
Went here for a function in the party hall and not for the dine in experience as a walk in customer. The hall is brilliant for 100-120 people, it is well lit and space is decorated well.
So they had organised a buffet for lunch and the spread was reasonable, the sweets were too good and even the poori with channa masala gravy was excellent, they also had pulav rice bath with raita and that was also very good, every thing was served hot and everything felt freshly cooked also. Rice with sambar was good with right amount of spice, some places tend to make the sambar overly spicy.
I just had to look around the main shop area in the ground floor and the collection of sweets and food they have on offer is really impressive, most of it seem reasonably priced also.
Parking for cars will be a bit of a problem since they have extremely limited parking space maybe about 7 cars max. But as it is located quite close to the metro you can just take metro here.
We had Paper Masala Dosa, Veg mughlai biryani and North Indian Thali. Dosa taste was above average. Mughlai biryani and north Indian thali were good.
The place is average, not only this outlet but across. They look promising but for me, don't live up to the hype in terms of taste of food and price. There is a lot of variability in taste across outlets even though they supposedly cook centrally and deliver.
Chutney and sambar is the best, but of course taste varies. I tried Kesari Bath and it was good. That's one item on the menu I would recommend.
There are better options, especially if you are in South Bangalore.
It's a decent place , we have a self service counter as well, if anyone wants to save with the overly priced sweets can make use of it
I live their coconut chutney and dose so crispy and yummm..
And filter coffee is 34/- so we skipped here and went to the opposite krishnam Udupi hotel there the price is 18/-
Gulab jamoon which is hot was rubbery and not good. Waste of money.
Kaju katli is also below average for 2 pieces we paid 33 rs and for 1 rubbery gulab jamoon it was priced 45/-
Went on a weekday evening for chaats, wasn't crowded. Few items like samosa were not available, but most of the menu was. Masala puri with chikpeas(chana) was something different and I liked it, bhel puri was way too sweet for my taste.
We were A2B fans, but their standard has been on a steady decline and this time am done. It don't think I will ever end up going. We ordered about 8-10 items and nothing was fresh. They were very stingy with tissue paper and told us they have stopped serving saunf. We then bought sweets from the ground floor.. Moong dal halwa was made with dalda and tasted HORRIBLE! Rasmalai was spoilt and had become stringy. We had to throw the entire thing. What a waste of money! With Anand, Kanti and Venkateshwara sweets, I don't think they will survive for long. Don't ever buy parcel from these guys!
A2B has a very unique taste as compared to other hotels especially the sambar as well as the chutney .the taste of masala dosa is ok kind of thing everything is good ..but I think the price of all the item is quite expensive. I don't know that only I have experience this..when we go and sit inside the hotel..the waiter will give the menu and they won't give us a time to see the menu..they keep staring at us ..this will make customers so uncomfortable..staff are good but I have experienced this..hygiene place
