I got the moong sada dosa. I think it was a decent dosa. The sambar was pretty good too. Overall I’d say a decent experience!

Excellent dosa. Large and crispy. The wait staff is kind, knowledgeable and helpful. I especially enjoyed the spinach masala dosa and the pondicherri dosa. The channa masala seemed a little sweet as opposed to spicy but mix in the thick dahl and basmati rice with a touch of spicy chutney it's wonderful.

The food was okay; however not great. What was truly a disappointment was the fact that they included an 18% tip in the bill then when brought back for signing, they also had a tipping option. We didn’t realize the first tip, so added another 18% tip on the total, which already included the original 18% tip mount, so we ended up leaving a 32% tip. This system sure seems like a scam. $60 tip on a $187 service is outrageous.

Really great indian food, and they have seperate Jain menu. We ordered chili paneer, Gobi manchurian, bombay bhel, kadai paneer, masala tea and madras coffee. Everything was amazing and upto the mark, and reminded me of food we get in India. Even kids liked all of the food. Service cab be improved a little but all in all highly recommended place for indian food. And if you prefer Jain food. Keep up the great food serving.

The naan and paratha are premade. They tasted frozen. I’m quite sure it may be store bought. The paneer and chole were also not flavorful. The only food we liked was the Manchurian. We are disappointed in the quality of food.
As for service, when asked how we felt about the food, we mentioned the paratha felt stale and hard. Our waiter immediately looked away, walked away, and dismissed the comment.
Definitely not a pleasant experience, I do not recommend dining here for Indian food.

Great atmosphere, great authentic food, generally available, and solid service - always reliable. Have been here dozens of time. No idea why the ratings are so low. They don’t do a lot of marketing which they probably could. Guess that makes it a bit of a hidden gem.

Good authentic Indian food. Vegetarian and Jain options available. Good service and nice ambience.
Had Masala Dosa and Bisibele Bath which was piping hot. Authentic in taste. Could have been slightly less pricier but still good food nevertheless.

For HOW much quality Indian food is in NYC Ananda is a disappointment. The food was very bland and there seemed to be a miscommunication as to whether or not a dish came with chillies (we were told yes but when it came it out was a floppy bland pancake). We were offered to order something else (which was nice) but returned the dish. I don't expect a fully comped meal at all but a discount would have been nice. My friend was very hungry and still found the food not tasty.
TLDR: bland food in NYC that has top Indian food, service wasn't great.
