Healthy food, staffs are good and the service is better. Restaurant clean and neat and prices reasonable. During lunchtime need one more staff to manage the table. Overall good. Perfect south Indian taste. Especially Sweet Pongal highlight.

Ananda Bhavan delivered good quality food - well packed and fresh. 
I was happy with food quality and delivery time - no spills. Kaapi tasted perfect. 
It was my Thursday treat and I enjoyed it.

Ananda Bhavan is a place you go to when youre missing the Filter KAAPI and vadai. If youre missing the thair chadam or the rasam, this is the place to head to!! You will definitely not be disappointed. Small place and barely has about 10-15 seats. But the food quality, authenticity and taste pushes all the cons of this place to the back burner. Dont miss out on their value for money meals in the afternoon!

One of the most frequented vegetarian in JLT for a quick soul fulfilling meal. Ghee roast, masala dosa, onion masala dosa are my usual. Best to eat in since the dosa gets mushy when delivered. Sambar could be thicker but overall a quick fix when you just want a simple fulfilling meal. While the interior is simple, this place is clean, comfortable and real.

I have only ordered food from ananda bhavan and have always felt the homeliness of the food refreshing. Not too much salt, or thickening agents in sambar. I do want to note the delivery is usually late. Some days the sambar exceeds my expectation and some days I’m underwhelmed. But I still like the simplicity of the food.

Finally I have found a place where you get the perfect Madrasi food (I hope I’m not offending anyone) the place is just amazing anything you order gives an option to choose mild and spicy that’s really a good thing if you love your food. I really love the attitude of the stuff they are very helpful. We have tried almost all the items in the menu there is nothing that was not good.

Good South Indian joint. Value for money. Managed by good service minded young boys. Though the taste is not extraordinary but it doesn’t affect your stomach.

If you are expecting simple, decent, homelike  & yes, value for money south indian fare then you won't be disappointed.  There are no "amazing / out of this world" dishes, but simple fare that will keep you going back to them when you are actually tired of eating at those "Best in Dubai" places. I have tried almost all their dishes including their breakfast dishes (sambhar dipped idli/wada , podi dosa are nice), lunch/mini lunch thali's and I have always been satisfied.  Their Filter coffee in the mornings is really good though, maybe among one of the top ones I have had in Dubai. Nice, fragrant, warm and just the way it should be. 
Just one suggestion - If you plan on dining there, be aware that its a very small place with 2-3 tables and hence can get crowded & they do seem a bit understaffed. You would be better off ordering and their delivery has been on time everytime.  
Overall a 4 star rating for their simplicity, value for money and that filter coffee!

Reliably good quality and reasonably priced. In JLT that is not very easy to find. So Ananda Bhavan has been a God-send for those of us who live or work in this area and feel the need for some comfort food.

If you are looking for Indian food, this is the best place. I frequently order their idilly which have the best south indian taste. The prices as compared are little high but worth the money.

The chutneys were different and good. The chilly idli was to my liking. Dosas were nice but lacked the flavour of ghee. They were oily enough but the flavour was missing.

A decent joint offering good authentic south-Indian food. Their service is good both for dining in or home delivery. Food is finger- licking good and is relished by all irrespective of an age group.

The food was edible. The dosas got a bit soggy once received at home, so may be better to eat at the restaurant. But I didn’t know what the kidchi was- it looked like small and thin noodle strands but tasted like the dosa mix. I was expecting kidchi like the rice and Lentil mix (I didn’t know the difference between the two).

Tried the Friday special (Madurai Curry Dosa+Veg Lappa+Sevai) and Mix Veg Parotta for a delivery order for a delivery order. 

The order came in time and hot. The Mix Veg Parotta sounded like a stuffed variety but turned out to be Kothu Porotta format which is a South Indian and Sri Lankan delight. It's like putting a Indian Flat Bread and Vegetables through a grinder into smaller manageable pieces. Most varieties are an extension of Scrambled Eggs but this variety at Ananda Bhavan was without an egg and it was pretty awesome with the mashup of Veges and Flat Bread. 

The friday special was pretty interesting. The madurai dosa is stuffed dosa with mashed up vegetables, you get Spicy Coconut Chutney, Plain Coconut Chutney , Raita, lightly Sour Brinjal Curry and Sambar as accompaniments. All of them work very well with the Dosa especially the Coconut Chutneys. The Veg Lappa was like a Murtabak in the appearance and was a layered filled flat bread. Again done perfectly and we really enjoyed it. Sevai was basically spiced up vermicelli which could be used as a carb side to the Sambar. 

All in all we loved the food, and will be definitely trying them again.

Been here frequently, this time I ordered ghee paper roast.
I know never order that, but screw it I did it anyway.
Yes it was more like an oily croissant.
It had crispy flaky layers and that very thick ghee that coats your tongue and a decent milk tea to wash it all down.
I may be embellishing, but I need 140 characters to pitch a review, kidding, mean every word, do give it a try.

Pics below.

Chole batura was delivered hot, deliver only one batura that too it was too cheewy, chole a bit spicy for me, but its something they make in bulk for combo for 50 odd people so it's not make to order, has good taste chole quantity was sufficient compared to batura, papad quantity is nice and it's fresh fried, chole and batura also accompanied veg raita made of yogurt and cucumber, delivered well on time

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) تجربة لذيذة حقًا مع خدمة بامتياز! رُحب بابتسامة بقيت طوال الوقت وخدمت بعناية واهتمام🤗 ، كان الطعام من مطبخ جنوب الهند الأصيل الذي حقق العدالة المطلقة مع النكهات المتوازنة والخفيفة ولكن الممتلئة في نفس الوقت. 😋 تمنيت حقًا أن تكون الأجواء أكثر إمتاعًا ، ولكن كما ذكرنا ، فإن الطعام الشهي والخدمة الودية أكثر من تعويضها!؟ لقد طلبنا طبق ماسالا دوسا وبوري ماسالا وطبق إيدلي وادا بيننا. الصلصة و Saambhar اللذان تم تقديمهما معًا تكمل وجبات الطعام بشكل جميل. كان الانتهاء مع الليمون الحلو والقهوة الغنية بالفلتر نهاية مثالية للوجبة. موصى به للغاية !!! 🌟 (التعليق الأصلي) A truly delicious experience with service par excellence!👌 Welcomed with a smile that stayed throughout and served with care and attention🤗, the food was authentic south Indian cuisine that did absolute justice to it with balanced flavours, light but filling at the same time. 😋 Really wished the ambiance was more pleasant, but as mentioned, the scrumptious food & friendly service more than made up for it!👍 We ordered Masala Dosa, Poori Masala & the Idli Wada platter between the 2 of us. The chutney & Saambhar served together complimented the meals beautifully. Ending with sweet lemon lassi & rich filter coffee were an ideal end to the meal. Highly recommended!!!🌟

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) يقدم هذا المطعم أفضل الأطعمة وبأسعار معقولة. لقد أحببت جوبي وبانير منشوريا ولا تنس تجربة حساء الفطر هنا. هذا المكان يستحق المال ، أنا من محبي الطعام الهندي مثل فادا / سامبار وماسالا دوسا وما إلى ذلك ، هذا المكان إضافة جديدة إلى قائمة طعامي الهندية (التعليق الأصلي) This restaurant serves the best and affordable food. I just loved gobi and paneer manchurian and don’t forget to try mashroom soup here. This place is worth the money, I am fan of Indian food like vada /sambar , masala dosa etc etc this place is new addition to my Indian food list

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) التوصيات: سمن مشوي ، إيدلي ، قهوة مفلترة ، شوربة طماطم أثبت تقديم مزيج من المأكولات الهندية الشمالية والجنوبية والصينية أنه لا يمثل عقبة أمام Ananda Bhavan ، التي حافظت على معاييرها في تقديم أطباق ذات جودة عالية. كل دوسا في القائمة لها نكهة لذيذة خاصة بها ، إلى جانب الصبار والصلصة ، وجبات لا تقاوم (التعليق الأصلي) Recommendation : Ghee Roast, Idli, Filter Coffee, tomato soup Serving a mix of North Indian, South Indian, and Chinese cuisine has proven to be no obstacle for Ananda Bhavan, which has maintained its standard of serving high quality dosas. Each dosa in the menu has its own delectable flavour, and coupled with sambar and chutney, the meals are irresistible

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) طعام الشارع الهندي الجنوبي (التاميل) الطازج اللطيف ، مع تبخير القهوة المفلترة في نهاية وجبتك يمنحك الرضا التام. يجب على المرء أن يجرب مرة واحدة على الأقل لأرز الدوسة / الخمول / الخثارة وأرز التمر الهندي. (التعليق الأصلي) Nice fresh South Indian ( Tamil ) Street food, with steaming filter coffee at end of your meal gives ultimate satisfaction. One must try atleast one time for dosa / idly / curd rice and tamarind rice .

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) كنت في العديد من المطاعم التي يمكن أن تقدم لي أفضل بونجال في دبي. أنا أقول كل الأسماء الكبيرة وكل الصغيرة. لم يترك خيارًا واحدًا في البحث عن Pongal الخاص بي. لقد وجدتها هنا. لقد نقلت نفس الشيء اليوم إلى المالك والموظفين اليوم وهم يأكلون آخر بونجال في اليوم ، وهناك يأتي أحد العملاء يسأل عن بونجال وتتجه كل الأنظار إلي. قلت اجعل خدمتك Pongal 24 ساعة في اليوم. اسمحوا لي أن آتي إلى أطباق أخرى .. أحببته قبل بونجال وأعجبني كما تصنع الأم. Chutney .. أنا لست من محبي صلصة pudina لأنني مع صلصة جوز الهند وأنا أقول لك جرب صلصة pudina أيضًا. حق البهارات والملح والاشياء .. واو. ثم تأتي القهوة بعد فطور سريع رائع وهي قهوةنا القديمة من جنوب الهند المفلترة بأفضل لمسة من السكر المناسب والمستوى المناسب من نكهة القهوة فيها. لأولئك الذين يبحثون عن خيار الغداء جرب وجباتهم الخاصة .. أحب الرسام عندما يقطر على شفتي. Payasam في أفضل حالاتها. بوريال ، أنا أحمل كمية كبيرة إلى المنزل حتى أعتز بالطهي المنزلي ليوم كامل دون أي عائق أمام بطني ... الموز في النهاية .. أولئك منكم حاولوا تناول وجبة في Kumbakonam venkatramana جربوا هذا وأنتم ستشعر بالتربة الهندية بكل لمساتها. اعتاد جدي أن يقدر كثيرًا الطاهي في مقهى راتنا الثلاثي ويعطيه مكافأة على الطعام الذي يصنعه وما يستحقه. أريد أن أفعل ذلك هنا بعد الحدث الذي أردت القيام به في فينكاترامانا. بشكل عام ، إذا لم تقتنعوا يا رفاق بعد هذه المراجعة واعتمدوا على بعض الشكاوى من الأشياء الصغيرة ، فابدأ واجلس هناك وشاهد خدمتهم وستشعر أن والدتك تطعمك .. لم أر وجهًا يسعدني تقديمه يمكنك تناول وجبة الإفطار مثل السامبار والصلصة والكاري في غداء مثل هذا. مراجعة Thinnu vazhntha kudumbam .. من الأفضل تناولها .. وجميع هؤلاء الهنود الشماليين ، الذين يريدون تجربة هذا لأطباق جنوب الهند ، لديهم بعض الصبر والنعمة مثل شعب جنوب الهند. ستكون سعيدًا ... هل يمكن أن أكتب مقالًا لأن يوم الأحد كان سعيدًا كما كان دائمًا مع أناندا ... لكن اسمحوا لي أن أترك الباقي لكم أيها الناس لمحاولة ... حائل أناندا بونغال ... (التعليق الأصلي) Been to many restaurants that can serve me the best Pongal in Dubai. I'm saying all big names and all small ones. Didn't leave one option left in search of my Pongal. I found it here. Just conveyed the same today to the owner and staff today eating the last Pongal of the day and there comes a customer in asking for Pongal and all eyes turn to me. I said make your Pongal service 24 hrs a day. Let me come to other dishes.. idli love it before a Pongal and wow idli as mom's make. Chutney.. I'm not a fan of pudina chutney as I'm for coconut chutney and I'm telling you try the pudina chutney as well. Right spices right salt and stuff.. wow. Then comes the coffee after a wonderful break fast and it's our old south Indian filter coffee at its best touch of right sugar and right level of coffee flavor in it. For those looking at lunch option try their special meals.. I love the rasam when it drips down my lips. Payasam at its best. Poriyal I make it a point I carry a quantity home so i can cherish home cooking for a day full without any hindrance to my tummy... Banana at end.. Those of you have tried having a meal in Kumbakonam venkatramana try this and you will feel the Indian soil in all their touches. My granddad used to appreciate immensely the cook in triplicane ratna cafe and give him a reward for the food he makes and what he deserves. Wanna do it here after the one I wanted to do in venkatramana. Overall if you guys are not convinced after this review and bank on some complaints of stuff which is miniscule go ahead sit there and see their service and you will feel your mom is feeding you.. I haven't seen a face being happy to give you sides for breakfast like sambhar, chutney and curries in lunch like this one. Thinnu vazhntha kudumbam review.. so better take it.. And all those north Indians, who wanna try this for south Indian dishes have some patience and grace as well like south Indian people. You will be delighted... Could write an essay as my Sunday was blissful as ever with Ananda's ... But let me leave the rest to you people to try... HAIL ANANDA'S PONGAL ...

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) كان الطعام الذي طلبناه جيدًا حسب الذوق. بالنسبة لعائلة الهنود الجنوبيين ، يكون مذاقها جيدًا إذا كنت تحب المطبخ الهندي الجنوبي. أوصي بزيارة الفندق للحصول على أفضل تجربة طعام (التعليق الأصلي) Food which we ordered was good to taste. For South Indians family it tastes good if you love the South Indian cuisine. I would recommend to visit the hotel for the best food experience
