Okay, so I love Adyar Ananda Bhavan. I was hooked the first time I went in. I was hooked the first time I went in. The ambience is perfect Clean and cute atmosphere!!! Very cool scene. The food is delicious! The food is absolutely incredible, very reasonably priced. All filling and affordable. Helpful, down-to-earth, and authentic. Friendly service, great food, and fun area! Friendly and attentive service. I'd say it's well worth it! Everything we ate was so delicious!!...

I have been ordering from here for years through the delivery apps. The food is always tasty, and the portions are good. I am from Chennai in India, and this food always satisfies my craving for South Indian food
September 2024
I gave this place 3 tries. One person for lunch (me). Each time I walked out of there spending around $50 on just myself and never felt satisfied. A few items got me to come back to see if I just ordered the wrong thing but NO disappointed every time with both food items and quantity/price ratio. It never worked out to be worth it.
Last week was the last straw. Again another $50 lunch I could have gotten for under $20 someplace else. I. basically had white rice with chickpeas...
