October 16, 2024 My friends and I visited A2B Indian vegetarian restaurant in Pleasanton, CA today for lunch. Clearly, this is one of the most authentic south Indian vegetarian restaurants in this region, although it caters North Indian vegetarian cuisine as well. They have a wide range of mouthwatering dishes. A few of us settled on a combo of idly, vada, Pongal and Kesari, with delicious coconut and tomato chutney and gently spiced sambar. They have a variety of dosas, with several healthy, creative, and unconventional alternatives. Rava dosa is a clear winner indeed. I hope the restaurant widens the combo offerings to include mini dosa specialties. One must visit this place several times to exhaust experiencing the culinary delights of South Indian cuisine this restaurant offers, at reasonable prices. In addition, this place has great ambiance, and we were well served by the very attentive Mr. Chekri and other staff attuned to exceptional customer service. I hope A2B opens more branches, notably in Walnut Creek, California. Even as it expands, I fervently hope it strives to maintain strict quality control.

I was warmly welcomed by the humble and friendly Master Chef, Mr. Ramdas V. He recommended their special weekend breakfast buffet, which comes with 9–10 authentic items, including unlimited poori and masala dosa, all for just $18. The taste instantly transported me back to Bengaluru!
What stood out even more was Mr. Ramdas himself. He’s an excellent host, fluent in multiple languages - Tamil, Kannada, Tulu, Telugu, and Hindi, and makes you feel right at home. He also suggested I return for their South Indian lunch meals after shopping. I did, and it was absolutely worth it , an authentic spread priced around $25.
If you’re in the Bay Area and craving the flavors of India, I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s a true...

A2B took Father’s Day to an extraordinary level with their Special Thali - truly a royal spread that was nothing short of divine! From the unique Kollu Biryani to the rich Paneer Kurma, melt-in-the-mouth Mysore Pak, nostalgic Railway Sandwich, and traditional delights like Pal Kozhukattai and Thattai, every dish was crafted with love and perfection.
The flavors of Pineapple Rasam, Arathi Vitta Sambar, Murungai Sambar, and Dhal Roti added layers of comfort and celebration to the meal. And the refreshing Elite Nannari Sarbath was the perfect finishing touch!
Heavenly lunch. Thoughtfully curated. Pure joy on a plate.
And a special shoutout to the A2B Pleasanton team as their customer service is always truly unbeatable. Warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. If you haven’t tried A2B’s special thalis, you’re missing a soul-satisfying experience. Highly...
