What to Eat at Shree Anandhaas Veg Restaurant How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Shree Anandhaas Veg Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Shree Anandhaas Veg Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try Dosa. For a first order, consider masala dosa or ghee roast masala dosa, which received some of the clearest praise.
Confirm Sides. When ordering lemon sevai or podi idli, ask for sambar and chutney explicitly rather than assuming they are included.
Avoid Weekends. Delivery may be risky at weekends: one customer reported waiting three hours and receiving cold, stale food.
Check Availability. If you want Andhra pesarattu, check first because one review says it is available only on weekends.
Watch Portions. For delivery, confirm portion expectations before ordering chilli porotta; one customer found two portions too small for one person.

The Bottom Line
Shree Anandhaas is a South Indian vegetarian restaurant in Al Karama, with a menu that customers use for dosa, thali meals, poori and filter coffee. The strongest dish-specific praise goes to the masala dosa: one diner described an oversized dosa with five chutneys and well-made aloo bhaji, while another called the ghee roast dosa the best they had had in Dubai. Chennai and South Indian thalis also get occasional praise for feeling homely and complete.
The experience is not consistent. Some reviews describe excellent taste, friendly service and economical food, but others report watery chutney, excessive salt or oil, undercooked rice and very small delivery portions. Service complaints are a recurring practical concern, ranging from unattended tables to a 30-minute dosa wait and repeated orders.
Delivery reviews are especially cautious, with reports of late or cold food, including a three-hour weekend wait. There are also multiple recent reports of a rat seen coming from or around the kitchen, followed by claims that staff did not respond appropriately. That is a serious concern to weigh before visiting.
If you do order, confirm that sambar and chutney are included, consider visiting outside busy weekend periods, and check availability for weekend-only Andhra pesarattu.
