Adyar Ananda Bhavan A2B in Harrow

food is off had to bin it, not fresh!

ordered a sweet lassi, received a salted one. and instead of potato masala, its a well packed box of onions.

First time here and thoroughly impressed with the service and quality of the food. We chose the Stuffed Paneer Tikka as it was recommended to us by Dharani. Soft Paneer with so much flavour - will definitely be ordering again! Great Dosas with flavourful chutneys and sambar. Thank you A2B!

The pav bajhi,paneer and naan was amazing

I really want to rate 10 out of 5. Food is fabulous, amazing customer service, amazing staff. Must visit if you want to try some outstanding South Indian food.

Delicious food and amazing service…..highly recommended

Staff was very helpful. Food was hot and tasty. Brilliant experience

Nice family restaurant. Food is nice too

Food taste & quality is best Good service

We had a great time at this lovely restaurant serving South Indian, North Indian, and Indo-Chinese cuisine. We tried the plain dosa, chilli idli, chilli paneer, sambar vada, and masala tea — all dishes were packed with flavor and served piping hot. The service was impressively quick, and the staff were professional and courteous throughout. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and offers plenty of comfortable sofa-style seating. We’ll definitely be back, especially for the South Indian offerings!

Lavanya and Dherni were lovely and amazing service! Food was also good

Very good, well spiced food. Prices very good and service was first class. Recommended

Service was appalling : slow, unfriendly, and varying servers who seemed to not communicate with each other or the kitchen staff and clock out while serving us. Some part of order was forgotten, cold drinks were room temperature, food was also room temp. We paid for and ordered 2 Set Dosa & Vada Curry however we received 2 uthappams which were no where near the same price as the thing we originally ordered. For the Kara dosa, the waiter didn't seem to know what it was until being told we didn't order what she said it was originally. Mysore Pak was hard and brittle. One piece of barfi costs £2! Chilli Parotta was orange and absolutely no veg. Nothing like A2B or Adyar Ananda Bhavan in India. There were so many North Indian options that I doubt this is a South Indian restaurant. Nothing wrong with that but be clear with your branding. We reordered the Kizhi parotta but the 2nd time the parotta was thicker and the curry seemed different. There was no consistency at all even in the same visit and the same item. Absolutely would not recommend. Will not be visiting again any time in the future. Save yourself the money and time and go somewhere else. Nothing was a highlight or even remotely good. The toilets were unsanitary and looked run down. If you want to taste what A2B should taste like get on a plane to Chennai.

Our Sunday morning began with a truly enjoyable buffet experience. Priced at a very reasonable £9.45 per person, the offering was generous, featuring unlimited tea and coffee alongside a delightful selection of South Indian breakfast staples. We indulged in the poori masala, the crispy masala dosa, the soft idly, the wonderfully savory medhu vada, the comforting rava khichdi, the creamy pongal, and the sweet kesari. The buffet also included other tempting options like more varieties of dosa and poori. The sambar and chutneys were a particular highlight, their authentic taste instantly evoking cherished memories of home-cooked meals. For me, the idly, medhu vada, and pongal were definite standouts. Plus, the staff was really friendly

Very nice food and good service

We ordered South Indian thali. The thali was tasty and satisfying. However this was not the authentic thali we get in A2B in Chennai. But will definitely visit again.

Excellent food and service. Special mention to Amruta who provided us great service.

Excellent food, not only the south Indian Classics such as Dosa, but also North Indian food as well. Cooked by separate chefs from their respective regions. Also the staff service was excellent, especially from Amrita who was very helpful.

Food is too good and staff is very friendly.

We had buffet breakfast, service was good (especially Danial) and food was delicious

Very good service. Daniel and all staff was very attentive and helpful throughout.

I just ordered a take away 2 portions of puri , one plain dosa and vadai. Very very disappointed with the puri’s they were breaking like biscuits in to pieces and the dosa was rock hard!! I tried to call the restaurant but there was no answer at all. Won’t be a returning customer !

The food was good at Rayners Lane branch Daniel excellent service

Excellent food… Great service by the staff, Daniel provided a great service … highly recommend this place..

Naan was very hard, seems 2days old cooked.

Went for Vishu thali with 22 traditional items. Loved the food.

Tasty food, various dishes with lot of options.

Nice food, Enjoyed chola bature, South Indian Thali and masala dosa. The staff despite being there only 2 were very attentive and helpful.

Very good buffet. We went in group and had a great one

The order wasn't ready at the time stated. Had to wait another 10 mins for the order

SOMEONE HAS TO BE REALLY DUMB NOT TO BE ABLE TO COUNT AND CHECK ORDER TWICE. IF YOU WANT TO REACH HOME AND THEN GO BACK FOR SINGLE NAAN OR SAMBHAR AND CHUTNEY ORDER WITH A2B. THEY GAVE US 11 PIECES OF NAAN WHEN 4 NAANS WERE ORDERED. THEY MISS THINGS AND THEN ASK US TO GO BACK AND COLLECT SMALL THINGS. They expect us to drive all the way through. They especially miss things that make dinner incomplete and leaves people half filled. I say this to their staff, take all food you charged us for and did not deliver and keep it, I am not visiting again at all!!!! WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER.. I ordered a take away. FIRST TIME they only sent chutney and sambhar for one whereas the order included dosa and idli with extra chutney order. One portion was completely wasted and it was for elder members of family. It was very embarrassing as we all ate as mom and dad eat a bit late usually. When they came down I had to cook for them as food itself was not enough. No one can eat dosa or idli without sambhar. They charged us full and mentioned that we can have extra idli if we come and collect. I asked for a drop off and they declined. SECOND TIME we ordered again as we thought it was a one off mistake. The second time we had to wait for almost one hour for collection of order. They said it will be ready in 15-20 min, when we reached the restaurant we had to wait for 40-50 minutes. I asked them to double check if everything was included and I was not surprised that chutney in their own checking was missing. When we came back home, we had 4 naans in order and we got 11 pieces of naan. When we called, they mentioned there should be 16 but they admitted their mistake and again same. Come and collect the naan. We declined the offer and mentioned when we come next time feel free to refund our money. Again they declined the refund.

I ordered two dosas, which took 15 minutes to arrive. When I ordered a third dosa, it didn't come after another 15 minutes, so I canceled it. The service was poor.

Really good food and wonderful service. Abhishek who was serving us was very friendly and helpful.

Best vegetarian place to visit.

Ordered North Indian Thali but 2-3 items were missed. Especially biriyani rice and papodoms were not included in the food received. Disappointed.

We had buffet breakfast. The Food was delicious. The space is spacious and clean with friendly staff, highly recommended.

Food was really good, the best was their dahi poori and buttermilk. It was absolutely amazing! Customer service was also satisfactory, the staff made sure we had a good meal. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We were served by Abhishek and the service was very good. The food was amazing. Authentic Indian taste. Reminds me of Bangalore. Must visit!!

Tooo good food and service too by Abhishek

We went on Sunday morning. They have a buffet offer of 9.45 per person including unlimited tea/coffee, poori masala, masala dosa, idly, vada, pongal, kesari. We loved the sambar and chutneys- reminded of home. Poori masala , Idly and vada were my personal favourites. Street parking available nearby.

Tried Breakfast buffet on a Saturday for 9.5£ was worth it. The buffet included unlimited idliy, vada, pongal, kichadi and masala dosa or poori with tea or coffee. Idliy could be more soft but it was good nevertheless. All the dishes were really tasty and had authentic South Indian taste. Definitely recommend this place for vegetarian South Indian cuisine.

Food was excellent and service was very good thanks.

Delighted to have discovered this all veg clean restaurant in the Rayners lane! The service was excellent and food was delicious. I visited on a Thursday afternoon and requested for Mysore Masala Dosa, Idli dipped in Sambhar, special biryani and schezwan fried rice. I used both dine-in and takeout.

Danny's service was outstanding..Very good ambience

Food was really good! Would definitely visit again

The food was great especially their thali promotion. Dhanraj was very helpful and friendly.

Excellent thali! Excellent service from Amruta and Abhishek! Will be back!

Attentive service by Dhanraaj and team

Excellent food and excellent service. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was good and the service was convenient by staff Abhishek😊

food quantity and quality wasn't good

Food quality is very good . N the service ami gives is tremendous

service was excellent by ami..good food taste and suitable for family gatherings

Ami is very nice and very good service she give . The food is very good

Won't suggest to visit this place on any special day. They were unable to cope up. They advertised ugadi thaali but when the food was delayed, not all the items on thaali didn't come together. We were told they didn't expect thisbusy. Service should have been planned well. Items missing from thaali & men's urinal was leaking & flooded with water.

Great food and brilliant service provided by Daniel

Amazing service and food. Would recommend to all. Thank you Lavanya and Ami for excellent service. Beautiful selection of songs as well to bringly liveliness to the atmosphere. Relishwd the moments!

Food was very nice and Daniel was very attentive.

Best place to try South Indian food

Food was very nice Service was very friendly and welcoming

Dhanraj was a really good host, Made us feel comfortable and he was well spoken, And the service time was really fast,

It’s one of my favourite in Chennai and i drove all the way from Coventry and couldn’t meet up my expectations. The person Working (Abhishek) is friendly.

Great place to have a food. Really loved it

Excellent food and Dhanraj served the food and good service with delicious food. We tried South Indian Thali it was excellent

Amrutha made sure that the food arrived on time. Service was good.

The ambience is as good as the food and with a soothing vibe. Best for family get togethers and reasonable prices. We tried variety of dishes, all amazing!

Absolutely disappointed with the service , went to the restaurant and didn’t give us the menu and was sitting for a while, we were given the menu after a long time.Ordered our meal and received the food however did not receive the parotta.After many conversations with the staff repeatedly asking for the parotta ,they failed to bring it.Asked for tissue and didn’t bring it so had to go and ask again. Then Never again.

Great service, very accommodating

Great service and food by Daniel and Abhishek

Breakfast buffet is well worth. Delicious fresh food

Amee was very good ,brilliant service and food

This was our second visit to this South Indian restaurant, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to expectations. Compared to other South Indian restaurants in the area, the flavors fell short and lacked the authenticity and depth we were hoping for. While the customer service was friendly, there were noticeable lapses. Initially, we were offered a dirty table, but to the waiter’s credit, they promptly moved us to a cleaner one. However, small details like this reflect the need for better attention to cleanliness and service standards. GULAB jamun was hard, not soft. Overall, there’s a lot of room for improvement in both flavors and service. Unless these aspects improve, it’s hard to recommend this spot over other South Indian restaurants nearby.

Best weekend breakfast buffet in Harrow compared to other places in and around Harrow. Best value for Money and high quality and tasty.

The waiter gave wrong information; multiple times he came back saying what we ordered is now not there and we had to change They overcharged saying their mistake, but did not reduce. Worst customer service. Food is ok.

We went for weekend brunch and it was amazing. Fresh food, great taste and good price. Best South Indian brunch in London..

Masala Tea: it was mostly milk, hardly could taste the tea. Paav Bhaji : the only way to make pav bhaji is to mush the ingredients properly with masala and lots of butter. This pav bhaji had bits of all the vegetables and almost no butter at all. The masala used was clearly not a pav bhaji masala but from a regular curry. Paav: were cold and old! they are supposed to be heated on Tava before serving with Bhaji. Sev puri- if you are expecting to eat the wheat flour/semolina puri, this is not a place for you. They serve the rice puris which are overly fried so that you will be able to feel the oil in each bite. The sev used is of low quality as well.

Excellent food and Dhanraj served the food and good service with delicious food. We tried South Indian Thali it was excellent

Abhishek served us well and food was amazing. They gave lovely Rasmalai… Thanks

Exceptional ambience and delicious breakfast with professional customer service at Anand Bavan.

We been served by Dhanaraj and extremely nice service! Love the filter coffee here😍

Was a nice experience, good food and friendly service by miss amritha

We went to A2B to celebrate our special day, the food was amazing, service was too good, Spcially Abhishek look after us very well, highly recommend

We had a fantastic time in here from the moment we went in till we exit the restaurant. Keep the good work Amee and the team

This was a really enjoyable place. It has been a pleasure as a family of four to spend hear at A2B. The service was at quality speed and the food was mouth wateringly delicious. This was a great experience.

Good food and caring people! Thanks to Dhanraj

Food was delicious and special thanks for the good service Amritha

Waiter Amruta made our dining experience very special. She was attentive, showed great care towards the diners, and kept a smile throughout. Her service was outstanding.

Food is good And service by lavanya was excellent

Taste, Location and above all Service. Just loved it. Would recommend all my friends to visit Adyar Ananda Bhavan. Best wishes.

We tried almost 10 dishes, food and service has excellent except faluda.

Food was amazing, aunthentic South Indian cuisine❤️ staff was great and helpful, Dhanraj helped us decide the best out of their menu! Worth multiple visits.

Service was good and food was delicious. Masala chai had to reorder as it was very good. Popular option on the menu I would definitely recommended.

We had breakfast buffet which was really nice. The staff were very friendly, the ambience was really good. They maintain this place very clean.

Daniel and Amruta was very welcoming. We had a buffet meal and it was so nice. I especially liked the idle, kaser and masala poori with sambar. Suggestion to improve, it would great if you have big space on the table to open the Lid and place it some while taking a food from hot container because found it difficult to take food each time.

Had a wonderful and delicious food. Daniel has taken care of us from start to end. Much recommended.

Miss amruta given very good services , very kind and polite, appreciated her services, thanks

we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere

The food was delicious and Daniel service was excellent. Highly recommended

Food was really good and Abhisheks service was immaculate.
