" Last night, I organized a small dinner at Sri Ananda Bhavan, and it was a smashing hit! The service team was very accommodating, working with me to customize a menu that met my guests' dietary needs. The dishes served were authentic and delectable, reflecting true South Indian flavors. Everyone left satisfied, calling it one of the best Indian dishes they've had in recent memory. Would highly recommend if you're looking to celebrate with authentic cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Sri Ananda Bhavan but was slightly disappointed. While the pani puri was good, I expected more from the dosas, which were a bit lackluster. The service seemed prompt initially but slowed down considerably later on. That said, I still enjoyed the influx of staple South Indian dishes available. I believe they have the potential to be much better! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried the pani puri from Sri Ananda Bhavan and it was a delightful experience! The flavors were more on the chickpea side rather than traditional potato, but I appreciated the twist. Their outdoor setup created a nice casual vibe. The service was quick and friendly as well. Looking forward to trying their main menu soon as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I chose to try Sri Ananda Bhavan for their reputed thali, and I left quite pleased. The vast selection provided a rich assortment of flavors and the service was quite prompt. However, I was slightly disappointed with the beverage choices, as the chai lacked the depth of flavor I was used to. Still, the ambiance made me feel welcomed, making it easy to forgive the few shortcomings. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who enjoys South Indian cuisine, I had high hopes for Sri Ananda Bhavan, but unfortunately, it fell a bit short during my visit. The ambiance was nice and the staff friendly, but the food didn’t have that authentic flair. The dosa was decent but not crispy enough and the chutneys could have been more flavorful. Maybe my expectations were too high based on some of the reviews but I would be open to trying it again in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent experience at Sri Ananda Bhavan is one that I'd love to share! I ordered their famous Kalyana Sapadu thali, and I have to say, it was divine. The different curries were flavorful, the rice was fluffy, and I couldn't get enough of the papadam. However, I was slightly underwhelmed by the chai; it didn't have the richness I had hoped for. Nevertheless, I loved the bustling atmosphere and street food vibes they offer. A definite place to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my recent visit to Sri Ananda Bhavan, I was genuinely impressed by the authentic taste of their dosas. The masala dosa was crispy and perfectly spiced, and I could taste the care that went into each dish. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I appreciated the availability of authentic South Indian snacks, which brought back memories of India. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)
