Pittsburgh temple lo ochchina kothallo pulihora, perugannam, sambar rice. Suggested donation 2$ per box not enforced. Mana valla kakurthiki and inflow ki they started charging for food. 

Manam unna population ki charge cheyali, lekapothey kastam maintainence. Esp Balaji temple ki manam , Tamil valam regular visitors ga . Food free  ante challan money needed for temples

Charging is okay man gudikey ani light tesukovachu. But emo business type lo run cheyadam putting so many items in menu makes me uncomfortable as people inka restaurant feeling lo vastaru than temple lo ah vibes.  Edaina gudi ki velthundi ani santrupthi padadame. Na masters lo snanam cheyakunda direct cafetaria lo tinevallu friends. Edo kasta oka spoon prasadam pettadam veru than making it business in my opinion. Its not about money but bhakthi missing there too ani na feeling.

Hmm sounds reasonable

Yeah agree , food after darshanam tarvatey ga . It depends on person whether he goes for darshan or for food . Devotion anedhi inherent quality anedhi naa opinion , but manam ( meeru kadhu in general ) we r used for having food in the temple ( tirupathi , annavaram , vijaywada , srisailam ) and same we expect here . But food kosame veladam not good .  Temple ala business cheyadam not right . Konni temples lo auspicious days lo ekkuva varieties chestaru . Denver lo ayitey konni festivals ( Sri Rama navami ) , e ery Saturday food free

Chala mandi food kosame temple ki veltharu. Aurora lo ayite i can say for sure. Temple is formality.

Malibu Hindu Temple is one of the best I have been to in USA...

Although all temples are best, drive up the hill and serene and unpolluted environment around makes Malibu my favorite..

Ranganatha swamy temple in Pomona NY never charges you for prasadam or Archana.

Yeah agree , temple hils madhya lo Chala bagundhi 

[Android_Halwa]

But the thing is that, funds collected by such activities like food and etc, are utilized for day to day operations of the temple and all temples run on donations only....its a different world and as long as temples serve good and quality food, it will keep attracting people and devotees and it itself is a revenue model for the temples...

Maintaining temples is an expensive activity and the trusts cant just depend solely on donations...
