    Good ambience and very clean. Best vegan options but for dairy products please ask them before itself. Good for south indian meals and wide range of food options.

  • 2/5 Chokkappa S (. 2 years ago on Google
    Once this hotel was serving tasty food, but now hygiene is highly questionable with more incidences of non- compliance of Covid 19 precautions by visitors and even staff also don't maintain safe social distancing.

    Tasty sweets. Everything is good.except they are serving masala puri and other chat items inside the place. They have a tiffin centre in backside. If they move this too to the backside all will be ok. Otherwise its glumpse. Dont have space to stand and order things. Don't why the management allowed dine in inside. Tables and chairs occupied mre space....

    A2B engaging workers from North doesn't understand local language and doesn't know what is there in the sales counter. Sorry state of affairs. Sweets especially the mini Jangiri lost its taste and totally dry and less sweet.

    I have been there to this Restaurant with my family. I have been to this franchise restaurant in other parts of the city so decided to try this one, The waiter came and took the order and went. the ghee Dosa which got delivered was totally burnt. I dont know how can they send these Dosas to the table in knowing that its burnt. The Dosa master should have thought twice weather he will have that food before sending it to customer. Service was also not upto the expectation. worst experience in this A2B Restaurant and would never visit this place again.

    Tried to get Diwali gift box it was bit costly and normal box was not available. Jamun at adayar priced 185 but the same is available at reliance shop at 120 why there is so much difference I don't know.

  • 1/5 Fei 4 months ago on Google • 46 reviews
    People don't know to speak local language I had asked him for sample tasting which the sales person denied and told me that it will be good just buy but I told your taste and my taste doesn't be the same so kindly give me sample post that I'll order but he denied, so I just left the shop and bought the sweet from the kakada ramprasad which top notch and best than A2B.

  • 1/5 sai kiran b. 4 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    They will serve meals and other items as well without having the proper dining. Service is worst. Food was okay okay. I feel it's overhyped by the name of a2b and franchises are not up to the mark. They are taking down the value of the brand.

  • 4/5 Tribhuvan M U. 7 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Very neat and hygienic pure vegetarian restaurant. This restaurant is famous for its south Indian dishes and especially sweets. There are many varieties of sweets and the also sell chat at the evenings[5-6pm].

  • 1/5 Sridevi 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    one of the worst experiences we had ever faced in recent Times.. worst branch .. I am a regular customer of A2B hotel.. but I hate this branch .. service is one of the utmost worst.. employees never consider customer's dine in order

  • 1/5 Sherin S. 2 years ago on Google
    No responsibility. We are waiting here. They did ask anything like (what do you want)...they are standing and talking unnecessary

  • 3/5 Nithish L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very Few varieties of sweet compared to other A2B stores. No Expiry date displayed in any of the sweets. Chats items are not worth it.

  • 2/5 Vinod K. 1 year ago on Google
    Poor service, Costly, not affordable. Gave 2 stars as the open food area is available which looks good but the odour from there is not pleasent. Not recommended for all!

  • 4/5 Deepak S. 1 year ago on Google
    Always liked the taste of A2B but the price is always on the higher side. Today I ordered Channa masala for dine in. It costs 100rs. Quantity is okish. But the best item here is Badam milk. 100rs. It's a new release usually they ll not give u for takeaway. If u r buying it for home, consume as soon as possible or keep it in good chill temperature. Good for a 4hrs usage.

  • 1/5 Pushparaj A. 1 year ago on Google
    Should increase dining space in Shop. Have outside dining but it was not maintained upto other A2B standards. Also we could smell bad through air due to poor rest room facility. Management should check and rectify it. Above rating is given for restaurant atmosphere and food taste is good as usual 😋

  • 3/5 MOHAMED E. 2 years ago on Google
    Products are good. Management should be more organized. Billing is a blunder.

  • 1/5 John A. 2 years ago on Google
    A very worst customer service which was never expected from such an franchise. Purchased a snacks on 21-05-2021 which was literally an old stock and for that asking the same, the supervisor lady who was there don't even know how to talk to a customer. From the beginning she is talking so rudely to everyone, quite shocked to see that Adyar anada bhavan recruiting such kind of people who doesn't even know the basic knowledge of how to handle a customer. Very disappointed with this. Surely this is going to be the last time im visiting this brach and neither i would even suggest this shop to my friends or family. Such a pathetic customer service!! Im not even ready to give this 1 star too but since i need to write my concern so that im just giving this rating too.

  • 2/5 Pradeep D. 2 years ago on Google
    This was a newly opened branch , so we decided to give it a try but was a total disappointment. I really do not know how they are crowded. Perhaps it’s the brand name or the dearth of vegetarian hotels in OMR area. It’s very irritating when you order rava dosa only to get a soggy one.

  • 4/5 Sakthi Kumar C. 2 years ago on Google
    Just stopped here to pick up snacks and have some coffee. Typical A2B taste. Unexpected part was they have a proper car parking even though the store is so small.

  • 4/5 Austin A. 2 years ago on Google
    A small A2B shop. Chat items and snack items taste good. Only has snack and chat items. No breakfast or dinner served

  • 5/5 Aravindan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good stuff. Have been a regular customer since the time they had their shop in adyar. I have made the shop open to buy snacks and savoury when they have almost closed. Such was my relationship with them then. Regular patron... jokingly i would say, part of the money i spent before my travel duty, helped AB what is it today.

  • 4/5 Adhithya M. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to have veg

  • 4/5 Samson M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of best vegetarian hotel . Variety of dishes are available and very tasty too . Very clean and hygienic environment . Rates are not too costly . Tea / coffee always available but fresh juices are not available but it will available after 10am or 11am . Being a Sunday morning very crowded but they are managing very well . Not a very big parking area but parking assistants helping each and every driver and helping for safe parking . Best place to take a breakfast / lunch / evening snacks / dinner break in ECR towards pondicherry before toll gate .

  • 1/5 anish a. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the worst A2B joints. Really bad food and poor service overall. The place was surrounded by bees and also the provided was super cold. Not recommended at all. Not even worthy for 1 star.

  • 1/5 Raja B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very worst experience....even they will calculate 10grams sweet also.. making argument with customer...not properly handling the customer.... suggest to not buy any thing here. Before weighing the product always adjust the weighing machine...less qty more money....

  • 3/5 Adhimoorthy k s. 1 year ago on Google
    Shoppers foot fall walking area is converted in to dining area. It was more like an established tea shop or a sweet shop. I wonder whether it was an A2B outlet.

  • 3/5 Estelle D. 1 year ago on Google
    Hygiene needs to b improved. Parking available.

  • 4/5 venkata p. 1 year ago on Google
    Food taste is always good and some items like veg biryani have to increase their quality and taste. The Tamil culture food section is awesome and everyone must try bhavan in Chennai

  • 4/5 Jai G. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent dining area with good tasty veg foods. Always we can trust them as their food quality is high in all the outlet. But little expensive.

  • 4/5 kannan N. 11 months ago on Google
    Very good experience overall. Food taste and atmosphere is excellent. Parking space is limited and may have issues if you are coming in the peak hours

  • 3/5 Adarsh 1 year ago on Google
    Not such a great place.... They have a very limited dining space for chaats and other snacks.... Also the sweets and other snack varieties were really limited and low in overall quantity in the shop compared to other A2Bs

  • 1/5 Praveen k. 1 year ago on Google
    All A2B's are not good, this ecr branch is one best example for the worst food and experience, Today we went for a dinner, initially I found red chuttney is spoil and had bad smell so I complaint and replaced it, but the next one coconut milk also a spoiled one got bad smell. They accepted and removed the idiyapam from the bill but still they should cross check twice and serve the food to customer, if it's one mistake we can accept but this is second time, as an adult we know it's decayed food but children's will eat food without knowing it and it ll affect child's health.

  • 1/5 Disha J. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible. Had the poli and a plate of idli. The glass shelves with sweets had flies in them. The poli was microwaved and served as it was. For the price they charge, a spoon of ghee on top would not have hurt. I had ordered a cup of coffee but it never arrived.

  • 1/5 Padmaasini T. 1 year ago on Google
    The worst experience we ever had in all A2B is this branch. We bought sweets and the staff was so distracted she delivered the wrong sweet to me and when I called them to report this issue the person on the phone was yelling at somebody else on the other side and did not even bother to answer me properly.

  • 5/5 richa g. 1 year ago on Google
    I normally stop by for tea n chat.Thetes decent open air restaurant with car parking. Food is awesome, a2b is always one of the best choice. Always fresh food and excellent service.

  • 1/5 Ridhi s. 1 year ago on Google
    We deeply regret choosing Ananda bhavan for our breakfast,such a bad services with not so tasty food plus the food was not even served hot , when asked to change, the staff were reluctant and later on started ignoring us . Everything came to the table late except for the bill.

  • 1/5 Momo 1 year ago on Google
    I just selected one star bcoz I had to otherwise I can’t write reviews. Very horrible food especially chole bature . Chole is not cooked and too much oil floating in chole and bhature is very hard like my teeth will come out . Best A2B is shastri nagar branch . if anyone wants to try food in A2Bi would suggest try in shastri nagar branch .

  • 3/5 Karthick K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is not the same A2B experience we used to have in other outlets. This is placed on ECR road at the most traffic area during peak hours. This is most suited if you prefer to buy sweets and snacks but not comfortable for having food here. Also not like other outlet, choice is less and having too much time due to insufficient staffs there. Even the supervisor is not great to have the traditional A2B experience

    Not good. Not a proper restuarant. Open space with not even a proper bathroom

  • 2/5 Daniel J. 4 years ago on Google
    It's not like any A2B restaurant. You sit next to the kitchen, closer to dish washing place and car parking. Very bad experience. But the food is still the same A2B standard.

  • 4/5 Sri 5 years ago on Google
    The quality continue to be good. But due to many branches, the customer service is scaling down. Sometimes there is no proper answers. I understand that there is crowd and patronage but you cannot afford to leave old customers

    Very very costly and quantity is very very less. Not sufficient. I ordered Kichadi but received in small sambar cup size. I shouted the cashier why very less quantity which is not even sufficient for my kid. They replied "we always give this much quantity only". Plz go for some other restaurants to have a good quantity of food.

    I have not only pride about having sweet stall like this in this location. There are many more to be pride! They maintain their quality always. Even for middle class people they buy for their pride occasion here. High class people prefer to go here. This branch mostly acts as sweet stall than a restaurant. Thanks A2B for having branch in this locality.

    Stupid rules they have in the morning that half side of the hotel will only be provided with service even though if the tables are vacant they are not letting us to sit. Never suggest to go for breakfast. If Zero star option is there I would have given that.

  • 1/5 Kumar T. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Ordered a plain cheese sandwich in their newly opened shop nearby. But was charged 100Rs. It's a daylight robbery. Better avoid overhyped and over costed restaurants. The taste of food also average. I would recommend some other restaurant for the food and money spent actually.
