This used to be my favorite Saturday haunt mostly because it was really reasonably priced and had some great chat and evening eats. Evening eats is a meal if you don’t know what that is - it’s what you hog on at 5pm so much that you’ll strain to eat even a bite of your mom’s home cooked dinner despite her threatening you at knifepoint. They have kept up on the taste for so long now! Oh, their sweets are to die for! That ghee drained Mysore pak is my absolute undoing!
A2B as always maintains its quality and taste. The place is good to have south indian varieties. The North Indian thali is also good. The only thing is this outlet has only self service counters. But good for families.
One the best ghee roast dosa had chutneys are very authentic in taste & restaurant has very good vibe to dine around located at the highway! Very good for travellers

Top most Pure Veg Chinese Restaurant. Every time I had only Special South Indian Veg meal but yesterday I had Chinese recipe & Dry fruits sweet in this shop. Taste is really good. After taste that Chinese recipe is my favorite food in this restaurant.
On way back to Bangalore, we stopped at this place for breakfast and were not disappointed, ordered Ragi masala dosa, strong coffee, dahi vada, onion dosa prices were bit on high definition side but taste was quite good. Ambience was decent to good.
A2B is the best. Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. I love going to this place on Sunday for breakfast. I order, a mini tiffin and a filter coffee. Mini tiffin consists of small amount of almost everything on their breakfast menu like,
1. Idly and Wada
2. Pongal
3. Masala Dosa
4. Sheera
It is enough to get you full.
Amazing place. Also the sweet and farsan stall inside is so tempting that you will get something from there to your home.
Talking about the ambience, this place is better off now compared to some time ago. It has a neat ambience, cool atmosphere. The food is great, so the prices seem legit, the service is also good! It has everything starting from breakfast to lunch to Chinese to chats!
Went there during my short trip to Bangalore last month. Visited this place on route to Airport. I have had a great experience with A2B in Chennai, and hence, had great expectations. I wasn't disappointed! Started with vada sambhar, which was awesome. Nice, spicy hot sambhar and two thick medu vadas dunked in them! Then, had the South Indian mini thali, which was great. The rasam was just superb. Only disappointment was the sweet - kesari. The plantain poriyal was great. Also, got a box of mysore pauk, which was just perfectly done. Highly recommended!!!!
You want veg just A2B. Get breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. The atmosphere of the restaurant is bright and neat. And a very good place...
A quick lunch but got quick mini tiffin
Well maintained restaurant and clean place
Tasty and fresh food served
Cashier present at the counter has a swift hands I have never seen any man finishing transaction that fast. A big thumbs up......
And a value meal too.
Why not rated 5
Small place couldn't take more customers in and no music.
Food at any of the A2B outlets tastes pretty much same and good too. If you wish to take away also, they pack the food very nicely.
But the only thing that I hate and have observed across most of the outlets is their service and hospitality. It's just bad.
Just because of that we try to avoid it as much as possible.
I just wish the management takes these issues seriously.😑
The best Pav Bhaji in Bangalore so far!! Special Bhel,cold badam,Hot coffee is Just too good,Coconut obbattu is very nice..Ganganagar Outlet is good for the dishes mentioned above..not sure about other outlets..
It's been ages since we've been having breakfast here. Lovely breakfast though it takes a lot of time to order and even more time for the order to arrive but the taste makes up for the rest.
Breakfast thali is must try

Been eating here since a long time.
Their chaats are tasty but they are mostly made for the South Indian taste buds.
They have a vast variety of sweets to choose from for all occasions. The food is a little expensive compared to regular fast food joints.
At first you mistake it to be just another sweet shop, but hey it is a proper Vegetarian restaurant. Wonderful food, great ambience after its recent renovation. I just love Chinese dishes they prepare, from the Gobi Manchurian to Fried rice and Baby Corn. Bit pricey, but totally worth it.
we are regular customers to A2B and always parcel combo breakfast the pongal and chutney is too good also try the sweet pongal its my favorite..hot filter coffee and gulab jamuns are best here...
The alacrity with which the A2B chain has expanded in Bangalore has been quite astonishing. There seems to be an A2B literally in every locality. This RT Nagar branch has been around for quite some time now and is the one that I've frequented the most. Although it's been a while since I've dined at this place and all current purchases are restricted to sweets and condiments only.
Located on the busy Bellary Road, just after the 2 CBI junction flyovers and in the former Ganganahalli market area.
If my memory serves me right, they started off as a South Indian joint offering light tiffin items and a huge collection of sweets and savouries. But it looks like they've fallen prey to the "market trends" and have metamorphosed into a full-fledged restaurant offering the "famed" troika of - South Indian, North Indian, Indian Chinese and now Pizzas & Sandwiches too !!! Boy, talk about portfolio diversification !!!
While I choose to remain tight-lipped on their North Indian and Indian Chinese offerings, their South Indian offerings, IMO, are pretty decent. I remember their dosas and chutney to have that distinct "Tamil" touch, courtesy the restaurant's origins. However, I do not know what the current state of affairs is. Suffice to say that these dishes were quite tasty.
Their other "division" - sweets & condiments - is rather popular. The Paneer Jalebi, quite an innovation, is a hit with my family. The "Mixtures" available here are quite fantastic too. The other items available are your regular sweets, including some Bengali sweets and can be said to be of the decent variety.
Verdict :- A veritable "super-market" of dishes, snacks, sweets !!!
I would recommend A2B to anyone any day. It is one of the easiest way of food in Bangalore. Nothing grand, its just everything that we would make at our homes but just don't feel like making on one of those days. Head out to A2B to get fast food really "fast". The service is great (most of which is self-service), its always crowded, but do not worry - anything you order will be served under 15 mins and the price is very very reasonable. (I am not sure about the service and pricing in the AC restaurant)
Tamil nadu style food in bangalore. They have a specialty, their restaurants serve almost same kind of food with exactly same taste, quality etc all over their branches. I will start with sensible option at this place, it is definitely the mini tiffin combo for breakfast. That is total value for money, and we get the best things at this place. Mini Tiffin combo has got the best things, rava kesari, ghee pongal, masala dosa, medu vada, idli and those variety of chutneys with awesome sambhar. But individual items though high in quality are definitely not worth the price.
And I have to warn or advice people about dosas, the Dosas here are typical Tamil nadu style masala dosa. Personally, Tamil nadu style dosas are not the best masala dosa one can have in south India. And also, not everyone will be fan of that Tamil nadu style Sambhar which we use with rice. It simply doesnt go well with idlies and vada, because we (karnataka) have our own style of Sambhar for vada and idlies. Ofcourse vadas are crispier also. Personally I love Tamil nadu cuisine and my love towards that has only grown.
A nice shop for buying sweets also serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Don't have much space for dining only fee tables. Too congested to have dining.. You can buy all type of sweets and dry snacks like namkeen etc. Food is fine
A good option for anyone looking to try Tamil Nadu sambar and a variety of chutneys like mint, tomato and coconut. Rava Masala dosa is better than usual Masala Dosa.
A few tables to sit out and they also have a lot of local sweets like a sweet shop.
Idli across all A2B is relatively hard and sticky, so this may not the best place for Idli if you prefer the soft and textured idli.

The food was good. The place is too small. Also they don't have ample parking.
Satisfied with both north and South Indian meal. Happy to visit again. Not sure if A/C is working or not but I felt more heat inside. Parking might be little problem in the peak hours
Good place for buying sweets and dry khara items. They have multiple options in these items. Food here is good, of right taste. Food Pricing is on higher side, given the quality and ambience inside the premises - pricing shouldn't be a problem. Parking is free street parking for both two wheelers and four wheelers. Good place to visit with family for a quick bite or so.
At a busy junction, this A2B is a good place for a quick snack break. We were here around 4PM and it was moderately crowded. The staff are helpful. The food is good.
There is enough seating.
Cards and UPI payments accepted here.
Given that this place is at a busy location parking of cars can be a bit difficult. Though a few cars can be parked in front of the hotel, if it’s a busy day one has to find parking elsewhere and walk.
People coming from Chennai will definitely love the taste of food over here like we do. We got to pay the bill first and then take the coupon at one counter for food and other counter for tea, milk or coffee. Self service!
Pure vegetarian restaurant. Food taste is good and ghee is used more so you cant eat much. Only self service the place I visited. good Atmosphere and good staff support
It is nuisense at Ganganagar branchif estate brokers are occupying 15 seat out of 35 seats simply chitchatting and disturbing other customers
I had breakfast with my family in this restaurant. Quick service, good variety, reasonable price and nice taste. I found everything perfect. Very good for south indian food.
We tried idli dosa upma sheera and coffee . All items are good. Coffee smell is very soothing . We also tried rasberry jamun . It's yummy .one must try.
I have been a regular customer for almost a year. There is a lady by name Mary who does the billing very fast. Indeed super fast. If she is there in counter there would be no queue at all. I even appreciated this personally. If there is a queue in billing it is meant that she is not there.
