Adyar Ananda Bhavan - A2B

A2B is located very close to the temple, making it super convenient for visitors. The food is delicious, extremely hygienic, and served in a clean environment. With quick service and consistently great taste, it's a go-to spot for tourists and always lives up to its reputation.

Had a decent experience here. Our food was delicious. We tried the paneer noodles, paneer 65 and naan and chappathi with paneer masala curry. Our server actually served the food onto our plates which was really nice. One person in our group had tea before the rest of us. The person at the tea counter reheated old tea which we were not happy about. Then we got 4 ginger teas which were made fresh. We enjoyed these teas. There was no water for a bit because the motor broke down so they brought out a bucket. Not sure if this happens often. Overall, an okay experience with small hiccups. I want to try another location.

Lunch was good. Waiters don't appear willing to combine tables together so we had to wait for a long time. Air conditioning wasn't effective.

The famous A2B at Chidambaram, As every other branch they trying to keep up the quality and service, but sometimes waiters behavior need to be corrected.. They need to be with a smile in rush time also,, Customers are the king of business and even one unsatisfied Customer is a failure. So try to keep the service upto the mark as the name suggests..

A2B (Adyar Ananda Bhavan) in Chidambaram is a reliable and convenient dining spot, especially for those visiting the iconic Thillai Nataraja Temple, which is just a few steps away. Its location is ideal -- right outside the temple complex -- making it a go-to place for breakfast or a quick meal after darshan. The restaurant maintains the signature A2B standards in terms of food quality, cleanliness, and pricing, which makes it a comforting and predictable choice for travelers and pilgrims alike. I visited for breakfast and ordered the mini tiffin, which was fresh, hot, and well-balanced. It included a neat assortment of South Indian staples like idli, vada, pongal, and a small portion of kesari -- all served with generous portions of chutney and sambar. Each item was tasty and well-prepared, consistent with what you'd expect from any A2B outlet across Tamil Nadu. The filter coffee deserves a special mention -- strong, aromatic, and perfectly brewed -- a great start to the day. The staff was efficient, and the place was clean despite the steady crowd. There's ample street parking available nearby, which is a big plus in a temple town like Chidambaram where parking can often be a hassle. Whether you're a tourist or a devotee, this A2B offers a convenient and satisfying dining experience right at the doorstep of one of South India's greatest spiritual landmarks.
