" On the whole, Sri Ananda Bhavan has been hit and miss with my experiences. Some days the dosas are perfect, while other times they are overcooked. I have to say their street food options are delightful, especially if you're looking for quick bites. The atmosphere is homely, and the team is generally friendly and eager to help. I would suggest trying out their chaat, but the main meals could be hit or miss depending on when you visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect dining experience! The atmosphere at Sri Ananda Bhavan reminds me of the bustling street food markets back in Bangalore. I tried their paper masala dosa and it was a true revelation. Crispy, savory, and seasoned to perfection! Staff was attentive without being overwhelming. I wholeheartedly recommend placing an order at the live pani puri counter for a mesmerizing twist to traditional flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" This time around, Sri Ananda Bhavan did not disappoint! I enjoyed a wholesome thali for lunch that showcased a variety of authentic South Indian flavors. The dishes were perfectly cooked, and the generous portions left me satisfied. The outdoor seating was lovely, and it felt comfortable and relaxed. The only downside was a brief wait for a table, but it was worth it once we were seated. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Today, I decided to try out Sri Ananda Bhavan for lunch. The restaurant had a bustling vibe that reminded me of markets back home in Tamil Nadu. I ordered a piping hot idli and sambhar, and the taste was reminiscent of my grandmother’s cooking. The only downside was the wait time for the food, but once it arrived, I was delighted with the authenticity and flavor. I do wish they'd be quicker during peak hours, but I'll certainly be visiting again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Surprisingly, this was my first visit to Sri Ananda Bhavan, and it was a great introduction to South Indian cuisine! I loved the various choices on the menu, especially the street foods served in the evening. The chai was also fantastic, reminding me of my childhood. The vibrant atmosphere with Indian music made me feel at home. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic South Indian flavors! " (*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*)
