Adayar Ananda Bhavan - Mysore

Go for authentic South Indian cuisineSituated near the Railway station, there is ample seating space. Service is pretty fast. We stayed in Mysore for five days and every day we went there for dinner. Highly recommended is their Special Bonda soup, Mysore Masala dosa, Ragi roti, Akki roti and Idiappam.

I’ve been to a lot of Adyar Ananda Bhavan, as a sweet stall and A2B, as a restaurant, but I guess this is one the places which looks classier than the rest. There are definitely other bigger A2B’s but they look suffocating and messy in spite of the space. Here, the interiors are well done and feels like a proper sit down restaurant.<br/ <br/ I spotted this restaurant two years back when I was to catch a night train to Chennai. Had an excellent Mini Tiffin that time so as soon as I planned a trip to Mysore I knew that I’d be having dinner at A2B on the day of departure. And so did I.<br/ <br/ I was heavily inclined towards having Mini Tiffin but after seeing menu, ordered a Ghee Roast, which again was tempting. Ghee Roast came in its trademark cone shaped way. But it was not huge, as well as, not drenched with ghee. Generally, restaurant just pour tons and tons of ghee in Ghee Roast, in that way it was a disappointment. Mysore Masala Dosa on the other hand tasted very much like a signature dish of the restaurant. I don’t generally like the greenish aloo masala so this masala was different and nice, it even had cashew in it. Who wouldn’t like it. Sambar Vada was a perfect accompaniment to it, vada was huge but wasn’t as drenched in sambar as we expected. So we took it upon ourselves to complete the task. And at last ended the meal with a red hot filter coffee which again was terrific.

My Friend called from Mysore and asked me if I want to have anything from there so I asked him to get whatever is famous so he got me Paneer Jilebi's, Rajapalyam Pakoda, Peanuts and different varieties of rice pastes Rajapalyam kadamba kulambu, Vathal kozhambu, puli kachal, Brinjal, Tomato, pepper Kulambu, Rajapalyam Kara kuzhambu. The Paneer jilebi was dry not to blame them as I had it the next day the Pakoda and Peanuts were awesome and tried few rice pastes and they are decent tomato being the best in the ones I had till now

What a place it is!<br/ <br/ The food was so good..<br/ <br/ Ordered ghee roast dosa, it was very nice and tasty...<br/ <br/ They serve large variety of sweets too and is near the railway station..<br/ <br/ Good place to grab a bite before catching train..

The food is awesome at this place. It is a very crowded place but it has a very delicious south Indian menu. The thali meals is great and so are the huge variety of dosas.
