We had our brother’s ROM celebration at their hall upstairs. The space is comfortable yet abit small. The atmosphere is clean and tidy. The food catered by them was too god and delicious. I would say a 9/10 and those complimentary food are also superb delicious. Definitely would recommend them for catering. Price is reasonable and the service was top notch. The workers are friendly and super helpful throughout the event. All went smoothly. Thank you!

Every dish was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious, making it well worth the money. A special appreciation to the staff for their outstanding service. They were courteous, attentive, and highly professional throughout our visit, ensuring a pleasant and comfortable dining experience. Overall, Anandha Bhawan delivers both exceptional food and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic cuisine and a memorable dining experience. I look forward to visiting again.

Open on Thaipusam day. Food & service top notch. Room for improvement: Place looks a bit run down may need a refurbishment. Ventilation is pretty bad as it was quite stuffy.

One of the best thosai is served here. Crispy at edges and soft in the middle. Perfect with it's thick & tasty dhall. It's coconut chutney is thick unlike other places which was too diluted. Go for it's chicken perathal and fried cauliflower too! There are many other choices too such as it's fried spicy BeeHoon, Uppuma, etc.

Had an amazing experience at Ananda Bhavan! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The dosa was crispy, the curries were rich, and everything tasted authentic. Service was quick and friendly, and the place was clean and comfortable. Great spot for delicious Indian food. Definitely coming back again.

Bold statement but actually think I had the best rice and curry today. And I’ve eaten a lot of rice and curry on my travels. Had tofu too and the guy was helpful with the food

A visit after so long.. Yes, I came for the egg briyani. 😅 It's a flavorful plate of briyani. A bit pricey.. But, I do LOVE the ambiance over here. 🥰🥰 No harm in eating here once in a while.. P/s : Popular spot for both local & tourist.

Came here for tea time, enjoyed their tea time choices thoroughly. There were a few varieties of snacks to choose from, being a vadai lover, I first tried their vadai and it did not disappoint. Also tried their samosa and some sweets which was pretty good. Chai was delicious, will definitely come back when I come to butterworth again. 🙂😋

I had a wonderful dining experience at Sri Ananda Bahwan, Perai. The food was fresh, delicious, and full of authentic South Indian flavours. Every dish was prepared with care, and the service was friendly and efficient. A special highlight was the Kesari dessert—soft, fragrant, perfectly sweet, and a delightful way to end the meal. It was truly one of the best parts of the dining experience! If you’re looking for tasty Indian cuisine, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Sri Ananda Bahwan Perai. As I run my wellness and massage shop nearby, Sri Ananda Bahwan, Perai has become one of my favourite places to eat. I come here often because the food always feels like a comforting home-cooked meal. It’s delicious, satisfying, and always makes me feel right at home. A special thank you to all the staff—from the managers, cashiers, servers, and kitchen team. Everyone is always so friendly, caring, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit a pleasant experience.
