Loved the dosa here, served in a large triangle with some excellent sambar and chutneys. The potatoes inside were excellent. The deconstructed samosa was pretty good too, as was the rose lassi, but I wished they hadn't put in a straw in there when I didn't ask for one.

Ananda is a great place with delicious vegetarian Indian food. I don't think you can go wrong ordering anything on the menu. The restaurant is in a nice location and the inside has a nice ambiance to it. The service felt a little slow at times but it got the job done.

This was my second visit here. The restaurant had a very large party to handle while I was with there with my hubby. The server did a good job getting our order out correctly and pretty timely. considering the large party. We started with complimentary papad which would have been outstanding if they weren't very stale. Next came the kachumver salad which had well diced tomato, cucumber, onion, carrots and chickpeas. The salad was fresh but very under seasoned. A side of chat masala took care of that so be sure to request some. The real stars of the meal were the dosas. These were some of the best i've had, and i've had a lot. I got the gunpowder masala dosa and hubby got the masala dosa with spinach and mushrooms. The gunpowder dosa had the perfect amount of spice and crispness. The masala potatoes were like the best masked potatoes ever!! The spinach and mushrooms did not make the dosa too soggy. It was just perfect. Excellent place if you love dosas!!

N and I had a very leisurely dinner here recently. Restaurant is conveniently located in the heart of the Village. I had been craving dosa for some reason, and this place popped up in Yelp. For some reason, Dosa is not easy to find, and locating a good dosa, is an even more challenging task. This one served up a very decent dosa. We picked the masala with mushroom and spinach. The dosa was nice and crispy and the filling and accompaniments were tasty. We also ordered a thali (I think the Southern one) and it was plenty of food to share. For a completely vegetarian meal, it is deceptively filling. Recommend wholeheartedly for a casual and reasonably priced meal.

Did you know Ananda means delight in Hindi? Guess what? I'm delighted that I finally found a really good Indian restaurant in the heart of Soho. Thompson Street, have to say, is becoming the food Mecca Street with Carbone, Cuba, Red Lion, Arturo.. even a pop up bagel shop where I've heard the bagels are to die for! So you see, you can find most cuisines on Thompson. Thus it's perfectly fitting that Ananda is on Thompson and has wonderful neighbors. I was craving Indian food and Yelped* where I could find a really good place and Ananda popped up. This was the second? third? crisp fall day? We keep going backwards and forwards with weather. Well, IMO, forty degrees means SOUP!!!!! Thus, I stared at Gandhi and he whispered " order the Mulligatawny soup" . I always listen to wise people and I did just that plus onion pakora. The Gobi Manchurian also winked at me but I'll save that dish for a future visit. The pakora was downright delicious and I couldn't stop munching and dipping in the wonderful condiments: mint and cilantro chutney (green) and tamarind chutney ( brown). Munching and dipping... Then my soup came and it was piping hot: lentils, ginger, corn, carrots and coriander. A perfect tonic on a slightly chill day. I ordered garlic naan to go for one of my employees. The service was courteous, the music was soothing ( think massage music) and I love the water decanters that had trees painted on them. All in all a great lunch and nicely priced. I see the Gobi Manchurian in my future... *There was a 10% off order upon Yelp check in and the owner stated it was only during COVID.

Mmmmm the dosa that we got was soo yummy! I believe it was a masala dosa that was filled with paneer. The dosa was crispy and light and already flavorful on its own and the paneer inside was quite yummy too. To be honest I didn't care much for the dipping sauces we had except for one of them because I liked the dosa by itself. We also got a masala gobi cauliflower and it was ok! It was cauliflower and the cauliflower was doing its cauliflower thing. To me the dosa is what I would come back for and honestly the star of the show. This place is also vegan and kosher for those with dietary restrictions! Service was quick and staff was very nice. I quite enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant as well. Very chill and low key.

I have tried a lot of South Indian restaurants in the city and I have to say this one is a must try! Everything from the ambiance to the customer service and the food is DELICIOUS. The options on the menu are diverse and All very fresh! The uthapum felt a little undercooked, but the dosa was delicious! give this spot a try especially if you're in the area

Dosa time!!! This is so good, I'm going back second time in a week Service is awesome too and the place is perfectly located. Can't wait.

Delicious vegetarian Indian food, nice service, cute location! I've been coming to this restaurant for years and have ordered a few different dishes on the menu. My favorite strategy is to get the the North Indian Thali plus the Masala dosa to share with a friend. I love the variety of the thali and overall, the food is very tasty, well made and flavorful. What's also nice is they can make items vegan friendly if you have more restrictive requirements. Service is pretty good and the ambiance is pleasant. The restaurant has generally nice background music and simple, yet inviting decor. When the weather is nice, they open up the windows so you feel like you're on a patio even though you're inside. I will definitely continue to be a regular at this spot!
