A friend recommended this and posted pics so we were craving. We ordered poori, medhu vada, plain dosa, combo#1, south Indian thali, and tea. It was pretty tasty and not too spicy(hot) for our palette. The spicier tastes were quickly doused by the raita or sweet dessert on the table. We were happy with the vada, dosa and poori, we liked the crispiness and flavors of the sauces. Service is nice. This evening we tried street food in their outdoor court. It was a fun experience especially the puri bar where they make your "bite" while you are standing nearby. They give a choice of hot, medium or mild so that was nice. Try the dessert, punugulu, it looks like a dumpling but filled with coconut and sugar. The Chaai Biscuit is simple but it goes well with the tasty tea.

If you are looking for South Indian food outlet which only serves vegetarian delicacies ..this is the place to be ! Not to be missed it has big free parking space as well ! seating is very much Indian style and staff is helpful ! We had dosas, it was really delicious and crispy. It was a long wait to be seated but after that it was real quick once we ordered the food. Staff was super helpful. I enjoyed my food and the whole experience in this restaurant. The Tea is very classy, and the food is well presented. I ate there for lunch and I liked the south Indian dishes they served. All in all I will give it five stars, but it is worth it.

Exceptional service and authentic south Indian food. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Mouth watering live/street food options. Chai perfectly pairs with maska bun.

We are regulars at Ananda Bhavan. Going there for almost 10 years. Amazing food and amazing service. They never let you down. Consistency is the name of the game

Excellent place for authentic South Indian vegetarian food, especially if you’re craving flavors that truly feel like home. The Benne Dosa is a standout—perfectly buttery and crispy on the edges with a soft, fluffy inside, tasting exactly like the ones from back home in Karnataka. The benne melts right in and is super aromatic, while the coconut chutney and sambar are fresh, well-balanced, and complement the dosa perfectly.

You must try live pani puri here. And ragda is Jain, so you can eat if you follow Jain diet. Just tell them no onion. Also we tried their podi dosa and Benne podi dosa and it was really good. They can make Jain sambhar(without onion and garlic).

Really enjoyed Anand Bhavan. The food was great, the staff was super friendly, and everything felt fresh. I liked knowing they don’t reuse oil, you can taste the difference. The pani puri especially stood out, very close to real Indian street food. Definitely worth a visit.

Ananda Bhavan is my go-to South Indian restaurant. I’m a regular and love their idly, dosa and parotta. Food is always fresh, tasty and satisfying. The food is consistently good, which keeps me coming back every time. Highly recommended!

Love the sambhar here. Onion Rava Masala dosa is my favorite dosa here, do give it a try. Kids love the Mini Idlis and Chocolate dosa. Staff is friendly and polite. They also have a live pani poori counter, and other yummy snacks too.

Love this place so much. It's like our another place to find home cooked meals. Whenever I'm so lazy to cook, we come to this restaurant. The service , environment and the food all are 5 stars 🌟 . Also reasonable price. Recommended for family and friends or couples. We loved the boy Navin . He always serves us generously and happily. 🙌💕

Excellent Thali , one of the best vegetarian thalis in the Bay Area . My husband had his favorite Rava masala dosa , also one of the best preparation. We have been to many South Indian places but Ananda Bhavan proved you can make food flavorful without making it chili hot/ spicy . Fresh and yummy, must try

Absolutely loved the South Indian meals here! 🍛 Their Thali has a great mix of protein, veggies, and flavor — perfectly balanced without compromising on taste. You can tell they’ve put thought into making it nutritious and wholesome. It’s a complete, well-balanced meal ideal for anyone looking for healthy, home-style South Indian food. Great value, great quality, and consistently satisfying!

Non descript interiors, but good quality south Indian food. The menu has all the typical south Indian items. They also have a special thali that changes from time to time.

Thoughtful Kolam Decor adds to the vibe of this place. We visited Sri Ananda Bhavan followed by a Hindu temple visit. The food did not disappoint here! We were here on the weekday evening so the place wasn't crowded and we got the table without any wait. They have an outside patio where they serve Panipuri, Masalapuri and other snacks like Bun Maska Chai etc. We tried Panipuri and it was really good. We had Masala Puri too. Us being from Pune-Mumbai we expected a different dish but this Blore style Masala Puri was really tasty. Indoor we had coconut Masala Dosa, which was least favorite of all the things we tried here. Freshly grated coconut might taste better in this dish. Onion Uttapa and chatanis were good. We also liked the filter coffee here. I definitely recommend this place and we will come back when in the area.

We visited to checkout the new stall. We got masala puri, vindalo, irani chai and osmania biscuit. Masala Puri - 1/5 (the concept of Bangalore masala puri did not come through) the pani puri was altered and made as masala puri Vindalo - 5/5 it’s was super delicious crunchy on the outside and doughy and soft on the inside. Irani chai and biscuits- 4/5, the chai was really yummy. We also got paper roast masala dosa, and it was crunchy and delicious. Texture I would say 10/5 really well done. The stuffing and all the other dishes sambar, chutney were pretty good too.

One of the best Thalis I’ve had in recent times for sure. We went on a weekday, no wait, plenty of parking available. Every item on the thali plate was soo tasty!! Especially the pappu, kovakkai fry, and vathakuzhambu were our favorite items. Totally worth the price paid! Ended our meals with a delicious filter coffee - only thing is I wish they hadn’t pre added sugar in the coffee, it was a bit too much - but nonetheless good end to our lunch. Totally recommend for a South Indian, homely meals here. Will be back again!

We went to have Irani chai and biscuits. They have amazing irani chai and biscuits. The Bangalore masala puri is really tasty. Panipuri was also good. The pineapple rava was amazing. Overall experience was good.

Visited Sri Ananda Bhavan in Sunnyvale a few days back. First we went to the newly opened chat counters. Mirchi Baji, masaala puri were great. Paani puri water was a little harsh on the throat. Chai was good but biscuit is avoidable. Then we went inside the restaurant and ordered masala dosa, rawa dosa and coriander dosa and shira. All Dosas were excellent, sambar was good but all 3 chutneys didn’t clear the notch. They need to improve the taste and quality of at least coconut chutney. Need not serve 3 chutneys. Shira was good. Ambiance both inside and outside is nice. Good seating. Very Good service. There’s enough parking also just next to the restaurant. Overall 4 on 5, a nice experience .

Went their for Ganesh Chaturthi special Thali. Overall great price for so many items. Taste was decent. Service could be better. They were missing couple of items on 2 thalis out of 4 we ordered. Overall cleaniness was good. All Vegetarian place.

We visited this restaurant twice. Masala puri and pani puri were tasty and they have 50% off promotion which makes it economical. For dine in we ordered Mirchi Bhajji,Ghee Pudi Dosa,Idli Fry. The Idli Fry was deep fried small idlis coated with chutney powder. Idli was hard and chutney powder was a little bland which made the dish not so tasty. Also for 8.49$ the quantityof the dish was very little(as shown in pic),11 small idlis for 8.49$ is definitely pricey. We had ordered Mirchi Bhajji,the Bhajji were okish and was cold,we would not order it again. We also ordered Ghee Pudi Masala Dosa. Dosa was not cooked thoroughly,not crispy and potato sabzi was under seasoned. Out of chutneys served with dosa,the consistency was good but tastewise it was not good. Only the coconut chutney was decent. We will go back to eat chaats at live counter but won't go back for their fine dine(dosa/Idli etc).

We just came out of the restaurant, and I have to say this was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. The food was absolutely terrible — not a single dish out of the six we ordered was even remotely acceptable. The textures were off, and everything tasted poorly prepared. The idly, in particular, was shockingly bad — half-cooked and completely inedible. We paid $128, and it felt like we got absolutely nothing in return. A complete waste of money. What’s even more disappointing is that no one from the staff bothered to ask how the food was. If they had, we were ready to give honest feedback right then and there. We came in with decent expectations, especially after seeing good reviews, but now we feel completely misled. Honestly, even saying we’re disappointed would be an understatement. Do not come here.

We just came out of the restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. We ordered 6 different items, expecting at least a couple of them to be decent — but not a single one was good. The worst part was the idly — it was half-cooked and had an off taste that made it almost inedible. Completely unacceptable for such a basic item. The rest of the food didn’t fare any better. It honestly felt like a total waste of money. Even if this food was offered for free, we wouldn't want it. We left feeling let down and frustrated. Also, the positive reviews do not reflect the reality here at all — they’re completely misleading based on our experience. Terrible experience. Not recommended at all.
