Sneha Dalvi - The Talking Bee
+4
Those who have been to Chennai at least once will know this franchise for sure. Known for their authentic Tamil Food, A2B is handsdown winner.
We had a plate of Steam Idli, Ghee Dosa, and Pongal Vada combo.
Pros - Food was very tasty. Especially the chutneys served along were amazing.
Cons – Very elaborate menu. Very few items available. Eg. They didn’t have curd rice. They didn’t serve tamarind rice etc.
Service was okayish. They were humble but just confused and all over the place.
TTB rating – 4*
Always a delightful place to eat. We were going on trip from Chennai to pune and this was our savior at 8 AM in morning. This place lives upto brand name. Great puri, vada. Idli was average. The place is easy on pocket too. The staff needs to be more courteous though. They were attending a lot of people but still they need to be nice to customer.
They r serving veg food and that's a big thing for vegetarian ppl.. Timing for lunch is set so go there in time for proper service.. And food is good in taste..
After having an amazing experience at A2B in Kadalur and Pondicherry, I wanted to stick to the same brand in Mahabalipuram as well.
After an extremely tiring day, came here for an early dinner and tried out Podi Masala Dosa, ghee Masala Dosa, Idiyappam, 14 idly, gobi Manchurian, veg schezwan noodles and finally some butter milk.
Everything was yummy!!! All the chutneys and Sambar served with Dosa also have greatly complemented it. But, we were served Gobi Manchurian with Chutney and Sambar.🙄
It was quite bizarre. They quickly responded and served sauces, when requested.
Apart from that particular thing, service was really quick. As always, value for money is outstanding. Overall, it was a fulfilling experience.
My Suggestion: Ask them serve sauces, whenever you order Chinese food.
That one go to for every individual who's hunting for a vegetarian food that is economical on your pocket, delicious in your tummy, menu that satisfies your eyes, variety that never let's you stop! This is one place that will give you the taste of South India in South Indian food and North India in the North Indian food. It's your go to if you're a vegetarian.

Decent food for those seeking vegetarian, South Indian style. We had mini thali and it comes with sambar rice, curd rice and lemon rice. We also had their veg noodles which was good.
Very old tables and chairs and stuffy ambience. They do have an air-conditioned room but that was full. Ground staff are caring.
This is a food chain throughout south of India.. we visited this place in Ooty and Bangalore.. loved their food.. simple soul food with a great variety available..at reasonable prices.. quick service helpful staff.. it's a go to place for me whenever I visit next! 😍 Unfortunately of all the good food we ate I have pictures of only tomato soup from this place..
Recommended : mini lunch, rava dosa, dahi papdi chat, sandwiches, parathas
Nice and really affordable place to eat authentic food and awesome filter coffee if you are somewhere near Mahabalipuram. Though the menu doesn't have too many options to select from , we decided to go with the thali ,which is a best bet in such places ,and it didn't let us down. Really filling and yummy thali really made our afternoon.
They have quite a few spread of sweets to select from , so you can definitely give it a visit .
Enjoy :)
Everything that is good need not be expensive. We had lunch at Adyar - thali served with a bunch of vegetables, chutney, papad, dahi and rice along with ghee and gunpowder. Cleanliness is suspect but with all you can eat at 150 bucks a head - the place is the destination to enjoy local cuisine. They serve idli and dosa in the morning and evenings. You will come out smiling post the meal amazed what money can buy and the cleanliness will be appreciated. The service rivals the best of five stars that you might be used to.
The food here is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place especially if you're heading to Pondicherry. Also, the service is great and the restrooms are absolutely clean (this is heaven if you're travelling)
It is an eating joint on the highway from Mahabalipuram to Chennai. Variety of Indian cuisine which suit all budgets and taste and reasonably priced. South Indian thal costs 150/- rupees and is quite filling. Car parking, washroom facility is adequate.

Such a beautiful experience of having not only tasty food but also satisfying food . Normally I am a fan of A2B but this one was a difference as they have lot many points to their advantage apart from their routine ones .
1)They have a huge Parking space
2)The garden area is just lovely for the kids to play with each other
3)The service wasTop end with Parthiban the restaurent supervisor was superb in terms of meeting the client requirements
4) Quality & Taste was very good as I was ordering for more . I had ordered for South Indian Meals
5) it is just 200 mtrs from the shore temple
Normally the rush in A2b is huge & this one is no different , But in case you plan to Put a Google review , It should not be a bad rating or review just because you were not attended immediately or even after 5 mins of your arriival . Have patience because food & beverage business is where the staff works higher working hrs more than others. Let us give due respect & time for them to serve . If they don't come , you approach any of the staff .
My Special thanks to All the staff & Parthiban for the wonderful Hospitality
Title: **A2B Mahabalipuram: A Family Oasis**
I recently visited A2B in Mahabalipuram and was thoroughly impressed with the overall experience. The spacious and well-managed environment makes it a perfect spot for families. The presence of a garden and lush greenery adds a serene touch, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
The highlight for me was not only the inviting ambiance but also the delicious food served. The culinary offerings were delightful, and the diverse menu catered to various tastes. The staff's attentive service further enhanced the dining experience.
Whether you're seeking a tranquil retreat or a family-friendly dining spot, A2B Mahabalipuram checks all the boxes. I highly recommend it for those looking to enjoy good food in a pleasant environment surrounded by nature.
Food quality is good not very great. Second, there is self service system and delivery counter is very small hardly 2 persons can stand and take delivery. But at morning time, it is crowded and it is deficult to follow our order and take delivery. Third, as they have to do everything fast they just deliver in haphazardly so presentation is very poor. Parking is available. Small garden also there.
This is the best place to have your meal when you are travelling to Pondicherry or Mahabalipuram from chennai or otherwise. You have to deviate from ecr to find the restaurant. There is ample parking space and lot of seats available to accommodate a lot of people

Adyar Anand Bhavan is one of the oldest chain in Chennai
We stopped here at Mahabalipuram - on the way to Pondicherry 🩷
My picks:
1) first the fulfilling special veg thali. A super order and extremely filling - rasam, sambar, coconut based gravies, daal fry, coconut, rice and more!!
2) The classic sambar rice- this one can be your go-to and a great meal for one
3) Kothu paratha and gravy- a lot of North Indian touch!
Ofcourse, must to end with filter coffee in the end 😍

A2B : Restaurant Review
Awsome ambience in an pass through highway the restaurant was cool and sufficient
As a vegetarian, finding a restaurant that caters exclusively to my dietary preferences can be a challenge. However, my recent dining experience at a vegetarian restaurant exceeded my expectations and left me thoroughly impressed.
Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately struck by its warm and inviting ambiance. The decor was tastefully done, incorporating natural elements and earthy tones, creating a serene and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant's commitment to sustainability was evident, with eco-friendly practices and a focus on locally sourced ingredients.
The menu offered a diverse selection of vegetarian dishes, showcasing the creativity and versatility of plant-based cuisine. From traditional favorites to innovative creations, there was something for every palate. I appreciated the emphasis on fresh and organic produce, ensuring that each dish was bursting with flavor and nutritional goodness.
The appetizers were a perfect start to the meal, with a variety of options to please all taste preferences. The vegan spring rolls were a delightful combination of crunchy vegetables and savory sauces, while the avocado bruschetta offered a creamy and tangy twist on a classic dish.
For the main course, I opted for a vegetable curry served with aromatic basmati rice. The curry was rich and aromatic, with a perfect blend of spices that tantalized my taste buds. The generous portion size ensured a satisfying meal without feeling overly indulgent.
The dessert selection was a pleasant surprise. From vegan chocolate mousse to dairy-free cheesecake, the desserts were decadent and guilt-free. I indulged in a vegan coconut panna cotta, and it was a creamy, coconutty delight that left me wanting more.
Service at the restaurant was friendly and attentive, with the staff displaying a genuine passion for vegetarian cuisine. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided helpful suggestions for those new to plant-based dining.
The only slight drawback was the restaurant's limited beverage selection, with relatively few options for non-alcoholic drinks. However, the quality of the food more than made up for this minor inconvenience.
In conclusion, the vegetarian restaurant provided a delightful dining experience for vegans and non-vegans alike. The ambiance, flavorful dishes, and dedication to sustainability make it a standout choice for anyone seeking a healthy and satisfying meal. I left the restaurant feeling nourished, inspired, and eager to return to explore more of their creative vegetarian offerings.
We can reach A2B pure veg restaurant near to mahabalipuram entrance from ECR.
Amble parking is available, due to limited dine in space they are providing out side dining also.
For outside dining self service is only option.
We can enjoy good quality food in good ambience.
Nice environment More dinning space, ample car parking, easy to axis in and out, My suggestion to A2B management why don't you start drive-in service sir, if so it will be a landmark
