A2B in Herndon VA does not have a constant rating! Sometimes it serves the best South Indian food with super perfect sambar to die for. And sometimes, their food is the most pathetic representation of South Indian food. These swings are probably attributable to changes in management or changes in cook. Hope they can serve a consistently good quality South Indian food.

I’ve never been disappointed by this place when it comes to food.
But the service can be a little iffy at times, the food is anything but. Consistently delicious and definitely worth coming back for.
