Ananda means joy, and that's what we want every plate to feel like. We serve the South Indian classics: masala dosa, Mysore masala dosa, ghee podi dosa and uttapam, idli and medhu vada with sambar and coconut chutney, plus North Indian favorites like chole bhature and Punjabi thali, and Mumbai street food like vada pav, pani puri and chaat.
We're inside BITES Food Court + Bar in Langley Park, a few minutes from College Park and UMD, Takoma Park, Silver Spring, Adelphi and Hyattsville. You don't need to drive into D.C. for a good dosa. And since BITES also has Charleys, SmoothieFRESH bubble tea and a full bar, everyone in your group gets what they want.
