Google direction api not working correctly

I am working on a java program where I use text search and directions api, but somehow api's are not working correctly in some cases.

For example: I have to search "restaurants" near Hyundai Car Center,Sector 63, Noida.

For this I have used the text search api to get the formatted address of the required restaurant. Now when I used direction api to calculate the shortest time and distance between the locations, I did not find any result.

String addressFrom = "Mother Dairy, Bhim Nagri, Hauz Khas, New Delhi, India";
String addressTo = "Hyundai Car Center,Sector 63,Noida";
String urlString = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?sensor=true&origin="
                + addressFrom + "&destination=" + addressTo;
System.out.println(urlString);

I am getting the following output:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?sensor=true&origin=Mother+Dairy%2C+Bhim+Nagri%2C+Hauz+Khas%2C+New+Delhi%2C+India&destination=Hyundai+Car+Center%2CSector+63%2CNoida
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DirectionsResponse>
 <status>NOT_FOUND</status>
</DirectionsResponse>

The problem is that "Mother Dairy, Bhim Nagri, Hauz Khas, New Delhi, India" cannot be found. You can test whether the endpoints can be found by entering them (one at a time) in the Google Geocoder Sample page.

However, "Bhim Nagri, Hauz Khas, New Delhi, India" can be found, and is fairly close to where "Mother Dairy" is marked on the map.
