Sri Ananda Bhavan

About Sri Ananda Bhavan

Sri Ananda Bhavan is a spacious, all-vegetarian South Indian dining room on Vesper Drive in Narre Warren — vaulted ceilings, banquettes for about 55 seats, and a menu rooted in Udupi-style tiffin and thali cooking rather than meat curries. The official card runs from idli, medhu vada and mini sambar idly through a long dosa list (masala, ghee, Chettinad and regional specials), South Indian thali and Ananda Bhavan Kalyana Sappadu, chaat, Indo-Chinese plates such as chilli-tossed idli, and desserts ending in pineapple kesari. Owners emphasise Chennai-style Madras filter coffee; The Age Good Food Guide (14/20, Critics' Pick, October 2025) praises sambar depth and dosa texture. Walk-ins welcome; table bookings via the contact-page form or phone; takeaway listed on the menu. DoorDash and Uber Eats carry delivery menus with slightly different hours than Google Maps and the venue site.
