The food here is tasty. Cant beat the #authenticity of the #Tamilian dishes. Ghee masala dosa was good and the 3 chutneys were very tasty, Idly were very soft and the sambhar had over casted the idly taste as well. And ending the food with a coffee makes you pleased. Theres a huge collection of sweets as well. Have tried the wheat halwa. A new taste for halwa has been brought. #A2BAdyarAnandaBhavan is a good place for tiffins.
One of the best places for having hot coffee and idlis. Clean and hygienic place. The service was also good. But very small parking space though.
Pocket friendly veg restaurant which can be easily find anywhere in the city. Well they are known for sweets and snacks they are also good at South Indian foods. Had sev poori yesterday it was outstanding
Nothing special. Same as usual. Good place to buy sweets and savoury items. I like the Tiffin items, South Indian Meals, it is wholesome. North Indian Meals tends to go little over board! Not a big fan of Chinese here.

Best South Indian Veg Restaurant in Chennai located in Vadapalani area
Yesterday i came to vadapalani to meet my friend in Forum Mall. She struck in the traffic and she told me, i will be reached there within one hour..
So i searched nearer South Indian vegetarian restaurant by my mobile. It Shown Adyar Ananda Bhavan is the best South Indian pure vegetarian restaurant located nearby you.
I went there and ordered A2B special meal and Chinese food veg soup. They served quickly. I really enjoyed my lunch in this vegetarian restaurant. A2B special meal is so delicious and soup is yummy taste. Finally i ordered milk with ghee sweets gulkand burfi - 1/2 kg. I brought this sweet to my home. Kutties are enjoyed to taste this sweets.
Nice dining.
Ambience also too good.
This is the nice vegetarian restaurants located in Chennai especially in vadapalani area.
Ghee roast dosai, adai aviyal, filter coffee, chats, all are very tasty. Staff at A2B Vadapalani is also warm and hospitable. Highlight is their kesari which is often unavailable. Treat to vegetarians when in Chennai.
This place has never failed to fill my hungry tummy whenever I get there...I know ryt every restaurant or hotel does that...But this joint never says NO to wadever I ask for to gorge on...!
Only drawback is that, I wish they served appalams for sambar rice instead of fryums😣
And taste...Should I write it separately inspite of the name A2B?
Service : pucca!

The service was decent.
The AC was not very effective.
The food was average.
Sambar idly : Average.
Sambar vada: Good.
I would not recommended to a friend,
My go to place anytime I gotta have a quick casual dinner or lunch. I eat here very often and I can tell you that they really care about their food quality and standards.
Their service is poor and I hope they fix it, other than that no complaints.
Some of my favorite items are:
Dhahi Puri (almost always have it. Their best)
Chola Puri
Chapati
Mix veg grill sandwich
Filter coffee

This a2b have medium covers available to sit have food ...the chats and mushroom fried rice taste good dhai porie is just moth watering cheese pav bhaji 4/5; dhai pori 4.5/5; behl puri 4/5; mushroom fried rice 4/5....
A decent outlet at the heart of vadapalani! They are famous for their sweets, savories and chaat. The chaat here is one the best I have had. Their pav bhaji, samosa channa, bhel poori and Aloo tokri chaat top my list. Also love their Mixed chaat & Sev poori.
This place has a restaurant which serves South Indian, North Indian & Chinese. The chilly parotta and chilly Idly are a surprise. The veg. manchurian here is out of the world. I also love their channa bhatura. The channa tastes yummy.
The ambience is decent, ideal for friendly get- togethers.
Nice place.
Went here for breakfast at 10.30. I ordered rava masala dosa but it was not available. Reason - no masala. what kind of stupid management!!
So i had to eat dosa without masala and had a vada. The food was good.
Overall review: A nice restaurant with good food 😊
Good for chats and snacks. Pav bhaji is good so are chola bhatura. Chats are a bit expensive but worth the price. Milkshakes are awesome but overpriced. Service is average so is the ambience.
A place u can see every time filled with crowd...!!!
Ambience :gud
Sweets and street food are very good.
Can have diff types of sweets and food.
Service : good in spite of having heavy crowd they will respond very well.
A place to visit at evenings..!!!
Value for money and good choice for a quick bite or breakfast . Decent place to have south indian. Would be good if the place is a little more cleaner. No complIns otherwise
A2B. It is not just a name. It's a brand. One of the quality restaurants in Chennai. Provides quality and tasty food. One can get all types of veg. food here. Southern, Northern, Chinese, Sweets, Savories, Chat items. It should be A2Z instead.
PROS:
* Quality, hygiene and tasty food.
* Specialists in traditional South Indian food.
* Good Ambience.
* Good at serving.
* Bengali sweets are good.
CONS:
* Even this is a two-storied restaurant we had to wait to get a table. So people who needs to hurry, avoid this restaurant.
The crowd here itself tells you the how much they like the food here.

A2B aka Adyar Ananda Bhavan doesn't need intro at Chennai, let it be their sweets or snacks, or else a quick bite of chats, tiffins or lunch meals at affordable rates would be one of the reasons I prefer this place. Also, the food their as well tastes good and good deal for the money I pay them. I have dropped by at the Vadapalani A2B twice during by visit there for work. It is easy to locate the place, it's located at the Arcot Road near to the Vadapalani Bus depot and Vijaya Hospitals. They have a little parking space at the entrance of the resto else you can park on the streets.Â
The ambience is similar to most of the A2B's but this one is really spacious with two floors of dining space; though the resto is crowded you can grab the seats with few minutes of wait. The staffs are prompt when it comes to taking order or serving us with the food but the place seems busy that they rush us; also when it comes to providing water or cleaning the tables we kept requesting them to do it.Â
Coming to the Food, there isn't anything unique or extraordinary but they do serve good food. The chats are tasty and prepared fresh that enhances the taste. Bhel Puri - Yum to taste with the crispness of the rice puffs, Omhapodi, chaat spices and diced veggies. Veg Cheese Sandwich - Â the taste of the sandwich was fresh and good with the sumptuous amount of cheese. Chenna Masala - The masala was flavorsome when tasted with the diced onions.Â
Also, when I dropped by for the lunch time; my most common preference would be Mini Meals - as I could taste a spoon of everything, the chappati with kurma, sambar rice, curd rice, veg biriyani and sweet. It tastes good as well as feels complete after having them. Their chinese dishes also tastes decent as well as the price and quantity are a good deal.
A2B is a place that is economically friendly and a great deal when it comes to the VFM & quantity. This particular branch is almost similar when it comes to food and the pricing, but the spaciousness of the resto and the service are better. Here's my rating breakdown, ambience, VFM, quantity - 4/5, quality, service, taste - 3.5/5. Overall, I shall rate them a 4/5 considering the upper hand in the service and ambience.
A2B is an ideal place for quick bites - Snack and Sweets.
Ambience: Pretty good. Mostly crowded.
Food and Taste: Toooo good. Never disappointed with any of their items.Â
Filter Coffee which they serve is also good!Â
Chaat items are tasty and one of the best out there. Dahi papdi chaat and Bhel poori are too good.
Overall - Chaats are highly recommended...
Happy Eating!
Prompt service and delicious food.
Very clean ambience.
They accept cash, all cards and UPI payments.
The food is of top quality, there is a separate section for everything, for chaat items, food items, sweets, etc... And it's we'll organised. A2B is an already we'll known brand and this branch lives upto the reputation. The sweets are tasty, especially the paneer jamun. Must try, though may be hard on the pocket
Very good place to have food. The rate was very much affordable. The food was very tasty and waiters was well cooperating. The waiting time was very less. They are providing their fud in plaintain leaf so the food become mire tasty when served in leaf. They have variey of sweet collection and it was also delicious. Their service is also available in ubereats.
Amazing filter coffee! Their snacks are also amazing…lovely place
We had dinner around 10pm.
Food quality & taste: very good
Service: poor. Looks like serving people are either tired or in shutdown mode
Ambience: good
Will I visit again : yes
Nice restaurant.......
I like it very much....
It's very tasty 😋😋😋........

Breakfast parcel was 40, I was there in Vijaya hospital for couple of days, I took breakfast and lunch parcels from here. Staff are friendly, prices are low very good packaging food is good.
I didn’t know Tamil but I think it is Anand Bhavan (see photo)
ordered meals 15 in number for the office. Though pricy, its worth the taste.
Best in City Restaurant for Vegetarian foods...Price bit costly ... Fine Quality, Rich in Taste and Customer Table service is so good..NFC,UPI transactions and Credit and Debit Card payments are accepted.Special Delivery service opted for Online Orders ... Feel much Satisfied on earlier visit..
It's just another A2B. Not much crowded when I was there. They served the food quickly and good service by boys there.
Tasty vegetarian food and high quality sweets. They do excellent packing for take aways.
Try here sambar idly and sambar vadai..it's really good
I was eat last time in this hotel. All the dishes are excellent. Veg meals are very nice. Providing tasty payasam for veg meals. Price are average. Maintained neatness inside and out side of the hotel. They have too many branches. Pammal is awesome. They gave me starters.
A2B of late had lost its charm and fame. Some of its branches are getting closed. They employed many of North Indians who are not well versed in Tamil and local culture unlike in Sangeetha Desi Mane and Shree Mahas. It matters a lot while choosing labourers. Cheap labour reflect their quality resulting in deteriorating service and spoils the name ultimately.
