Ambience is Good. Food is tasty but costly
One of the best place to have Ghee Rava dosa.
It's too crispy and easy-to-eat.
Filter Coffee is strong and I recommend y'all to have.
PS. For people who prefer jain food, please avoid eating chutneys, as they have onion and garlic ground in their recipe.
Prices are reasonable.
The food served here is really tasty. You can get lots of variety of veg food. Especially the ambience when you sit inside the a/c dinning hall is awesome. The waitress who serves the food will always have smile on their face, even the person who cleans the table looks very friendly and hospitable.
Very nice place and worth your money for each penny.
Came down for lunch with family. The food is decent and reasonably priced. What really sets it apart is the service. The servers went over the way to please us which is really unique.
After so many years i had a chance to taste the food. I did try the Full Meal seat. OMG, i must say their service was so good and it reminded me of Good old Anandha Bhavan in CUD post office.
I did go for 3 rounds of rice to all the varities which you can see in my picture below.

Finishing touch with a 🍌 and Beeda. Not to forget that you get podi + Ghee
I was literally full with no gap to breath. Highly recommended for anyone to have a full meals. Remember do not drive after full meals. 😂
I think this special full meals are exclusively for people who dine in AC Halls. I may be wrong but the cost per plate was 175.
Tried this place a few times so this is the cumulative review.
This is very well renowned pure veg restaurant in this locality and is frequented by college goers and highway crowd alike. So it goes without saying that you'll have to wait for a table in peak hours. Parking is plenty though.
Food
South Indian fare is a staple here. Sambar is nice. We tried that ghee roast dosa and it was very well done with different chutneys.
We also tried the wheat parotta - A little too doughy for my taste but the kurmas were absolutely lip smacking. That's two kurmas - mix veg, and Chole. Both brilliant.
Chat items - great pav bhaji and cutlet. Yet to try the rest but I'm pretty sure they're great too.
North Indian - we tried the butter naan and paneer butter masala. Both as good as any dhaba. Tangy masala and well cooked naans.
Rice - Sambhar rice was very good. You also get a veg fry with it, and so was the mushroom Biryani. Nice hyderabadi style Dum Biryani. We tried the veg fried rice and noodles which were also perfect. The pepper was subtle too and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Quantity of all these was on the lighter side.
Starters were decent portioned and tasty too.
A tip for the management - no doubt this is crowded at peak hours, but it's very badly managed. Waiting area and a dedicated person for crowd management will help. Your waiters are busy at is and it comes off like they're not helpful. Not their fault.
Anand Bhavan conveniently situated near the Club Mahindra Puducherry is a true delight. It boasts an impressive array of breakfast options that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Delectable food served on traditional banana leaves, including fluffy idlis, flavorful podi idlis, crispy pooris, savory dosas, tempting vadas, aromatic coffee, and a heavenly sambar. But what truly sets this place apart are the various chutneys that accompany adding a burst of flavor to every bite. And let's not forget the creamy and comforting pongal that is a must-try.
Our mornings were eagerly anticipated as we knew we'd be visiting Anand Bhavan without fail. Their signature dish, iddiyapam, is a culinary masterpiece that you absolutely should not miss when you dine here. This charming eatery has truly mastered the art of serving delicious South Indian breakfast with a warm and inviting ambiance.
Super Ella sappaddu. Absolutely divine taste. Residents of pdy, just travel down and have a nice meal. If you visiting pondy and never have a five course Ella sappaddu veg meals. Pls visit ....atmosphere is crowded ...
Chef is very good,
waiters and cashiers are stupid.
They make you order unnecessary items saying that it is compulsory, which I have never seen in any restaurant.
Waiters and staff have a very stiff target of selling food also.
One of the best hotels in the outskirts of pondicherry......best place to eat veg food and all the breakfast items were too good....ambience was too gud in the AC hall....we have tried dosa varieties, chola Puri and mini idli....everything were gud
The place was crowded but we soon got a table and ordered for meal for two which had rice,sambar, beetroot sabji, sabudana kheer,papad and pickle....food was average but good quantity
Very delicious veg food.
Very near to club Mahindra Pondicherry. Auto just takes 100ra to come here And u can enjoy nice authentic South Indian food
Very tasty food. During this Corona pandemic time, they following the exact procedure which government said. Hygienic food. Toilet is very clean. Dosa, idly, momo, Paratha, fried rice all are good. Raj kachori also good. Don't order stuffed parata, not good.
A good place for vegetarian food lovers
This hotel is very much close to my heart, because i gave treat to my family with my 1st salary, ordered two starters followed by soup, naan, parotta,dosa, rice and noodles. There is no negative marks on the food side, everything was just good and perfect. Spent good time with family. Few 🅿️ only available other customers wants to drop their car oitside only, even i had to park at the road outside. So go earlier for hassle-free 🅿️
One of the best places in Puducherry for vegetarian foods.they serve 5 varieties of sides for idli dosa which is really good.the taste is also very nice garlic dosa was a different dish which was good.they also have chat items.the service is also good.this property also has huge parking facility.it is also situated in the main road opposite to thalapakatti.
Good food. Meals Rs 114 without ac and Rs175 AC. And in AC rooms extra care were taken and extra items were given. Ac room has the good ambience but everything will be charged in the bill
Excellent Customer service!. Hygienic Food! Enough space for car parking 10 cars! A/c - non A/c dining rooms, rest room. Very near to the Pondicherry to Cuddalore main road. Opp to Mahatma Gandhi Medical College.
Good and delicious south indian food
Hotel Anandha Bhavan is a very busy place located on main road at Tirumala. It's famous for South Indian meal but also serves various North Indian dishes too. Rates are at little higher side compared to similar restaurants around. Food quality and service is Ok.
