Sri Ananda Bhavan - Sunnyvale

I had a very disappointing experience here. Although their listed closing time is 10 p.m., at 9:35 p.m. they told us that pani puri service was closed. However, just a couple of minutes later, they served pani puri to other customers. When we asked, the staff said those people were their friends and that service was closed for outside customers. I found this behavior very unfair and disrespectful. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this place. They do not even deserve this 1 star also which I gave just to post this review.

If you are looking for Authentic South Indian food, must visit here... Must try Brngaluru Benne Dose, Tamarind rice and South Ibdian Thali... 😋

Absolutely loved the South Indian meals here! 🍛 Their Thali has a great mix of protein, veggies, and flavor — perfectly balanced without compromising on taste. You can tell they’ve put thought into making it nutritious and wholesome. It’s a complete, well-balanced meal ideal for anyone looking for healthy, home-style South Indian food. Great value, great quality, and consistently satisfying!

I went to this place yesterday and had a Thali. Saw this hotel online (came to Sunnyvale from London on a short trip, so I am not aware of the area) and thought of trying out.
Food is not good at all. It was spicy and upset my stomach, i didn't finish one item fully in the thali.
I do not recommend

Overall in this shop, great prices for many things. The curries and dishes are flavorful and healthy. They also offer a small restaurant outside. We generally go here for dinner either lunch.

Door dash order long time waiting

We just came out of the restaurant, and I have to say this was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. The food was absolutely terrible — not a single dish out of the six we ordered was even remotely acceptable. The textures were off, and everything tasted poorly prepared.
The idly, in particular, was shockingly bad — half-cooked and completely inedible. We paid $128, and it felt like we got absolutely nothing in return. A complete waste of money.
What’s even more disappointing is that no one from the staff bothered to ask how the food was. If they had, we were ready to give honest feedback right then and there.
We came in with decent expectations, especially after seeing good reviews, but now we feel completely misled. Honestly, even saying we’re disappointed would be an understatement.
Do not come here.

We just came out of the restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. We ordered 6 different items, expecting at least a couple of them to be decent — but not a single one was good.
The worst part was the idly — it was half-cooked and had an off taste that made it almost inedible. Completely unacceptable for such a basic item. The rest of the food didn’t fare any better.
It honestly felt like a total waste of money. Even if this food was offered for free, we wouldn't want it. We left feeling let down and frustrated.
Also, the positive reviews do not reflect the reality here at all — they’re completely misleading based on our experience.
Terrible experience. Not recommended at all.

I recently tried this place and ordered dosa and pesarattu. The taste was good at first, but unfortunately, the food didn’t sit well with me. Within a few hours, I ended up with diarrhea and an upset stomach. It may have been an issue with freshness or hygiene that day. I really wanted to enjoy the experience, but the aftermath was unpleasant. Hoping the restaurant looks into quality and food safety so this doesn’t happen to others
