Sri Ananda Bhavan - Sunnyvale

Great Authentic South Indian food! Atmosphere was good. Service was good.
We had a cilantro dosa , that was really good. But paper masala dosa was not upto the mark. Dahi papdi chat was hit! Filter coffee was awesome! Must try. Mango lassi was ok.
They celebrate Indian festivals thatw as really nice. Loved the ganpati decoration.

We tried the stall of ananda Bhavan first time and believe me you won’t regret. All the snacks were too good in taste including Modak. Masala poori and golgappas were total hit but the best part was the environment there with the fresh music and the good seating place even when you are outside and make it happening specially during the weekend.

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.

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 .
