Sri Ananda Bhavan
ஸ்ரீ ஆனந்த பவன்
A budget vegetarian eatery on East Raja Street, loved by locals and travelers for its all-you-can-eat South Indian thali and dosas.
Located on the main stretch of East Raja Street, this is one of the town's most reviewed vegetarian restaurants, with a Google rating of about 4.4 and nearly 9,000 reviews. Breakfast focuses on fluffy steamed idli rice cakes and dosas. Lunch is a South Indian thali with unlimited refills, and North Indian dishes are added in the evening. Everything is vegetarian, some seating is air-conditioned, and prices are very reasonable. It has no connection to the A2B chain. It gets crowded in peak season, and reviews on hygiene and portion size are mixed. The thali sometimes runs out after 2 pm. Open daily 7:00 to 22:30, and it is just a few minutes' walk from the Five Rathas and Arjuna's Penance.
