We visited A2B and had a very disappointing experience. After waiting nearly 20 minutes for someone to take our order, we asked for a chili paratha and two coffees. Being a group of four, we were then told that such an order could not be served for dine-in and would only be available to-go—information shared only after the long wait. The place also appeared severely understaffed.
We proceeded to order coffee to-go, which took another 10 minutes to arrive. The coffee was watery, poorly prepared, and tasted as if it was made without any real experience and charged around $5.00 for each incl all (Taxes and Card processing fee). When we inquired about the delay, instead of addressing the issue, the staff chose to explain how coffee is made. Overall, this was frustrating and unacceptable service.

This place is complete knockoff version of the authentic A2B. It’s far from the original. We ordered the idli and madhu vada plate, and the Sambar and chutney clearly indicate that it’s not authentic. The masala dosa was quite flat, and the potato masala was bland. I never thought the typical South Indian dish could be so poorly prepared in a supposed to be authentic place.

Nothing like having fresh, crispy dosa! I also order regularly from here – love the lemon rice, yogurt rice and idli.

It was surprising to find an AUTHENTIC SOUTH INDIAN RESTAURANT in NYC. I literally had “BACK TO HOME” feel after a long period. I would recommend to try their South Indian Thali and Dosa’s. The food preparation and presentation was awesome. Friendly and warm welcoming gesture from Staff. Finished off with their excellent Masala Chai that had perfect texture and flavor.

This place has been our mainstay for south Indian food in NYC over the years. After a hiatus of several years due to the pandemic, we revisited A2B for indoor dining and greatly enjoyed ourselves.
The idli vada combo, the Rasam, and the butter masala Dosa were excellent as always. The Rava Masala dosa felt a tad chewy (not as crisp as I remembered) but overall, we were very pleased with the experience. The Gulab Jamun was a nice way to round out the meal.
This place is worth a visit if you’re craving South Indian food in NYC!
Update: Went back for more great food! The experience was great, even though they had issues with sending the food to the wrong tables, which led to longer than expected wait times. Hope they resolve this quickly! We had the Rocket Dosa, the Bullet Dosa (dosa with Pav Bhaji Masala inside it), and the South Indian Thali. All were excellent!

I live like 2 blocks from this place, and have been going there for a while, but this place has completely degraded the food quality, and the service has always been the worse anyway as they don’t care.
First of all 4 chutney/sambhar slots, they gave us only 2, rest 2 were empty and I ordered mysore masala dosa, it dosa has no seasoning and it hey just gave us boiled potatoes inside. I asked them to change and add more seasoning, they were so rude, and told us to add the salt, seriously! I had been going there for a while but now they have reached to a limit.
Won’t recommend anymore

DO NOT RECOMMEND!
(ALSO DO NOT MISS OUT THE REPLY FROM THE RESTAURANT… THEY LAUNCHED A PERSONAL ATTACK ON MY CHARACTER AND INTENTIONS JUST COZ I GAVE HONEST FEEDBACK ALONG WITH PICTURES.
I TRY OUT MANY RESTAURANTS REGULARLY AND POST REVIEWS ON GOOGLE AND ON YELP WHERE I HAVE POSTED 350 PLUS REVIEWS, SO LAST THING I WOULD WANT IS $10 REFUND/ FREE MEAL.
I AM ALWAYS HONEST WITH MY FEEDBACK AND IT’S THE FIRST TIME A RESTAURANT HAS BEEN SO RUDE, DEFENSIVE, DISRESPECTFUL AND A COMPLETE GASLIGHTER )
This place used to be good, one of the better South Indian spots around, but honestly, they’ve completely lost their standard.
I’ve ordered from them several times, hoping it was just a one-off mistake, but every time something goes wrong. One time, they sent just one idli instead of two. This time, the idli was straight-up uncooked.
The worst part is When I’ve called to explain, they don’t really take ownership. Instead of apologizing or offering to make it right, they get defensive and try to justify the mistake.
They’ll say, ‘Next time we’ll do better’ but that next time never improves. Honestly it’s a very juvenile response from someone in restaurant business. No refund, no replacement, no accountability.
It’s frustrating and disappointing, especially from a place I used to like. I’m attaching photos of what I received. This isn’t how food should be sent out. Definitely not ordering again.

Second time at Adyar Ananda Bhavan and had an excellent meal. For appetizers we shared idli and vada combo and it was delicious. For mains we got ghee masala dosa and rava onion chilli dosa. Both were excellent. We asked for some dosa podi on the side (gun powder masala mixed with ghee). Way better than Saravana Bhavan. Enjoyed our meal. Ended up trying utthapam and was amazing as well.

Highly recommend for people craving nice South Indian food. Nice idlies and pondicherry masala dosa is a must try and you can finish your meal with a strong filter coffee.

When I used to live in NYC, I came here regularly. So, on a recent trip back, I sought this place out. Just as good as I remember with large portions of delicious food.
I recommend the Pondicherry Masala Dosa.
