Adyar Ananda Bhavan - New York

The restaurant is conveniently located and easy to find. Great food. All vegetarian. If you’re looking for good South Indian food, it’s definitely a great pick! However, the service is beyond ridiculous. As poor as it gets. Poor hospitality, terribly slow, they forget orders over and over again, no coordination between the staff members, and can be really rude. This is NOT a quick-bite place. Unless you have a good two hours, I wouldn’t recommend going there. My experience at the restaurant was echoed by customers from at least two other tables.

Beware : this is not traditional Adyar Amana Bhavan chain , he’s just using same name to mislead people by modifying the Logo. People just tend to search famous chains , specially if you are tourist or new to town . Overall experience was just terrible , food was okayish but restaurant is not very well mamintained and service is just terrible worst service ever . Specially manager is sooo rude and weird , he just makes up his own rules and charges extra whenever he wants . Like for extra chutney , he forced me to pay it was not mentioned anywhere in the menu nor did he specify any of things while placing order . I had to get up 2-3 times while eating for more water or tissue , none hardly pays attention , you could be waiting for ages before they come to you . I dare you to order filter coffe , it’s just instant coffee , not even close to your regular filter coffee . There are several hotels and chain within New York , even for Indian food , there are much better options , please never go here unless you want to get disappointed .

One of the best vegetarian/ vegan place to try. Food tastes really good, ordered paneer ravva dosa, pongal, tamarind rice and filter coffee. Happy place with soulful food.

A quality South Indian food joint serving the best of South Indian food. The menu is quite exhaustive, food is served hot and the taste is good. A bit pricey, but worth it due to quality and hygiene of the place.

Service was friendly and the food was good with very large portions. Staff was kind and the manager/owner was very kind to our kids during our experience. Space is well decorated and clean. Prices generally in line with typical South Indian in NYC.
