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.
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.
The flavors of the dosai, vadill (i hope i got the name correct), was fantastic. Once you enter, sit yourself and a waiter will come get your order. They serve food within 10 mins which is super fast! While there isnt air conditioning, it can get quite stuffy inside. Also, hopefully they can improve the toilet situation just a little bit. Other than that, food is good and pricing is reasonable!
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.
You can find one of the best keseri here, with service that truly stands out compared to other branches. I really enjoy coming here. please continue maintaining this excellent standard. Special credit goes to the manager/supervisor for leading such great work!

I had an excellent dining experience at Anandha Bhawan, Butterworth. The food was exceptionally authentic, rich in flavor, and truly reflected the quality of traditional cuisine. 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.
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.
Sri Ananda Bahwan Restaurant left a very positive impression on me from the moment we were seated. The servers were quick and attentive, taking the time to explain the menu clearly, which made ordering easy and pleasant. Service was impressively fast, and our food arrived without much waiting, even though the restaurant was fairly busy. The fried rice stood out for its quality, made using premium basmati rice. Each grain was light, fragrant, and well-cooked, resulting in a dish that was simple yet very satisfying. The naan bread was another highlight, served warm, light, and tasty, perfect for pairing with the curries. The roti telur was equally excellent, with a nice balance of crispness and softness. We also ordered the potato and broccoli vegetable dish, which turned out to be an eye opener. It was creamy, comforting, and surprisingly flavourful. The mutton curry was another winner, with tender meat in a rich, creamy gravy that wasn’t overpowering. To end the meal, the apam manis was light and refreshing, while the lassi had a pleasant sweetness without being too sour. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dining experience, and I definitely look forward to trying their banana leaf rice and exploring more dishes on the menu in the future.
