Athithi Devo Bhava
At Sri Ananda Bhavan we believe in the ancient Hindu script “Athithi Devo Bhava” which means that “The guest is equivalent to God”, and we make sure to satisfy every guest that walks through our doors. Our menu is traditional yet diverse. We serve mouth-watering South Indian breakfast throughout the day, traditional Thali (Meals) for lunch and dinner including our special Kalyanasappadu, and Indo Chinese for the adventurous guest. Our exclusive Coffee counter serves authentic South Indian “filter” coffee.
Most of our dishes are suited to the Vegan lifestyle. Please talk to our friendly staff if you want more information.
We don’t just stop with awesome food
Our trained staff will be available to offer you the best service throughout the day. Even though we do not serve food in our garden area yet,we do encourage our guests to step out to take in a breath of fresh air and soak up the sun.
Our fine dining restaurant is located on the Princess Highway, opposite Fountain Gate shopping centre.
