A2B – New Jersey vs. Virginia
We recently dined at A2B in New Jersey, and the experience was exceptional. The thali there was served hot and fresh, with every item tasting delicious and well-prepared. It was generously served with ghee, podi, pickles, and a wide variety of items on the plate. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and accommodating, which made the overall dining experience even better. It truly set a high standard and left us impressed.
Based on that wonderful experience, we expected the same level of quality and service at the A2B location in Virginia. Unfortunately, our visit there on New Year’s Day turned out to be a complete disappointment and a very unpleasant way to start the year. The staff appeared untrained and struggled to handle orders properly. The thali was brought out with several missing items, and when we pointed it out, the server responded by loudly screaming at another staff member instead of addressing the issue professionally.
To make matters worse, the food itself was subpar—the thali items lacked freshness and were poor in taste, nothing like what we enjoyed in New Jersey. Overall, it was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had. Given the quality of food and service at the Virginia location, we would not return or recommend it.
The stark contrast between the NJ and VA locations is disappointing, especially for a restaurant operating under the same name.

The ambience was very warm and welcoming. The manager was not very nice though, when I received my tomato soup it looked more orange/yellow than red. When I tried to return it, the manager made eye contact but did not come to address it and sent a server. All the servers had better attitude than the manager. We also got tri-color paneer tikka, masala dosa, and dahi bhalla. Paneer tikka was not very well cooked. We all tried it but left half of it as it was not very appetizing. All the other things we ordered were flavorful and delicious. You just need to know what to do here and it will be good. Facilities were also clean and well kept. I would have given more stars if it wasn’t for the manager’s attitude.

We love A2B in Herndon, VA! We order from there regularly, and we recently had their Pongal thali which was extremely delicious, and well presented. All items were well flavored and made. We will be back for more!

The staff were extremely rude. If they are unable to manage the crowd, they should not allow customers to place orders. I had already waited 45 minutes, and when I checked on the status, they casually told me to wait another 20–30 minutes. For pre-cooked meals, an additional wait of nearly an hour is unacceptable. The staff’s behavior was very discourteous throughout. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I also strongly suspect that this is not an original or authentic A2B outlet, as this restaurant does not appear on the official A2B chain website.

Bhavan. This was our first time here as we were visiting DC.
We were seated fairly quickly and our food arrived sooner than expected which is nice.
I liked the dosas but I was underwhelmed by mysore masala dosa (didn’t taste like Mysore I have had before several times and masala also was absolutely bland).
Noodles were good and so was the filter coffee.
Even though service was quick but it seemed like servers were all over the place, rushing through kitchen and tables without any orderly fashion. One server even nudged our table while rushing which dropped the salt dispensers, he looked back but didn’t apologize and kept going. Strange.
The lady taking our order was very sweet and friendly (cheers

I visited this restaurant two years ago and remembered the food being amazing and affordable. Never have I ever paid $17 for a dosa—and for it to be that bad. I was shocked when my bill came over $60 for two dosas and one vada. The portions were very small, and I’m still in shock. Look at the picture of that dosa, does it even looked like it’s Cooked?
I wouldn’t have been as disappointed if the food at least tasted good. The dosas weren’t even crispy, and the filling was bland and under-seasoned. I had dinner at another restaurant afterward, paid less than $50 for twice the amount of food and better service.
Overhyped, overpriced, and probably my last visit.

I’m one of those customers who got carried away by the special Pongal Thali offer at A2B today (Pongal Day – 01/14/2026). Unfortunately, for $28, what we received was nothing but disappointment.
For context: we are from Chennai, so we are very familiar with A2B’s quality, authenticity, and consistency—both in India and abroad. That’s exactly why this experience was so shocking.
Here’s what was served:
Sakkarai (Sweet) Pongal – barely sweet, missing the very essence of what it’s supposed to be.
Ven Pongal – jeera was almost impossible to find, and there wasn’t a single black pepper in either my cup or my spouse’s.
Poriyal / curry – carrots, beans, and something labeled “Podimas.” Honestly, they should try Podimas elsewhere – or even in their own Tamil Nadu branches—to understand what it’s meant to taste like.
“Limited” Thali – requests for extra servings were flatly declined, even for sambhar and rasam, which were already served in tiny cups. Seriously? For $28?
Vada and Pongal with no chutney – hard to imagine a South Indian meal without it.
The only consolation in the entire meal was the vadai and avial.
A2B – We’ve been loyal followers of your restaurant, both here and back home. Experiences like this are deeply disappointing and not what your brand stands for. Please take this feedback seriously. Otherwise, I’m sure you’ll lose many ardent fans like me.

We went in for lunch on a weekday. Food we ordered was delicious as compared to another Indian restaurant. So glad we chose to have lunch here. We didn’t have to wait too long. Waiters are polite, atmosphere is lovely. Clean restaurant with nice decor and seating

First time experience in a South Indian restaurant where the sambar is not served piping hot & the size of vada are small. Very pricey menu and the quantity of food served does not make it worth the cost. Filter coffee was dull and cold $5.25 Uttapa had only onions like a small pancake no cilantro no tomatoes or green chillies. The entrees are not professionally served not fresh and are like warm instead of hot & freshly cooked. Very disappointing experience spent $50.00 and I’m regretting. No manager on site to complain simply 2 servers handling the business.

Authentic Udupi restaurant ambience – from decor to music!
Food was strictly ok. The Uttapam was thick and crunchy instead of usually fluffy. Accompanied chutneys were delicious!
The service was VERY slow. Restaurant wasn’t super crowded but still took them over 30-40min for the curry. Rest of the table was done before the curry was served.
