" As a South Indian native, I've been searching for a restaurant that could shake off the usual chains. Ananda surprised me with its authenticity in flavors! The Masala Dosa was crispy and well-spiced. I especially loved their variety of chutneys. The dining experience was enhanced by the friendly staff who are always eager to help. Even the ambiance, with its soft lighting, made for a perfect dining experience. Pricy, but worth every bite! " (*Curated Review*)
" I was really pleased with my experience at Ananda! Their sambhar had just the right amount of spice, and their chaat was equally delightful. The service staff were friendly and engaged. The restaurant’s vibe was relaxing. Portion sizes are fine - not overwhelmingly large, but enough for a satisfactory meal. This place surely embodies the spirit of Indian hospitality!

" Having tried various places, I found Ananda's food to be quite home-like. Especially enjoyed their Paneer Uttapam! Though the food impressed, I felt that the service was a tad slow. Still worth it if you're looking for quality Indian cuisine! The ambiance was lively, yet inviting enough for a laid-back lunch. Would love to see some improvements in the staff's attentiveness!

" The restaurant appeared busy, yet we were seated promptly. The menu offered a broad choice of dishes, but I found the food underwhelming. I ordered a vegetable thali that was supposed to showcase several items, but everything felt too bland. The chutneys were mediocre, and even the sambar lacked that essential kick. The staff, however, were warm and welcoming. A decent place for a quick bite but not an authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)
" It was a lovely evening filled with delights at Ananda. I had the thali meal, which featured several dishes including idlis and a variety of chutneys. Most were tasty but a few flavors were underwhelming, particularly the sambar. The staff were very welcoming and made me feel at home – a nice touch. In contrast, the portion sizes felt a bit small considering the price. Overall, a nice experience but room for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my visit. The appetizers were excellent – full of flavor and perfectly made. But then I found the main course, a curry, to be quite bland. It seemed like a different chef prepared it. The service was satisfactory, and the ambiance was appealing. I do need to mention that this place is quite popular, so expect some waiting. Overall, an okay experience with high hopes for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)
" Ananda has rapidly become my favorite spot to get Indian cuisine in the area. The generous portions of their thali are great value for the price, and everything was served piping hot. I loved their variety and the genuine flavors. The ambiance was relaxing. The servce staff could use a little more polish, but their friendly demeanor made it more than made up for it. I’ll definitely return for a meal soon! " (*Curated Review*)
