Went on a Groupon offer and this was a very clean spot and no surprise given it was a vegetarian place. Ample seating area and the lady there is extremely nice!

Had the Indian thali with the mango lassie. This had a chapathi, papadam covering a rice underneath with curries around it. The curries were alright, and the chutney and the fried butter gourd with peanuts were really good.
Mango lassie was a tasty treat though I'd not recommend it to anyone even nearing a diabetes risk :D

A must try for a sweethtooth is the dahi papti chaat which is an absolute flavor bomb with some nacho like stuff in it! Absolute treat there!

Highly recommended for a filling vegetarian option.

Our second visit in 2 weeks as a family of 6. For someone who has reduced spice by large means, some of the dishes were spicy. Watch out for Kara Masala Dosa and Gongura masala dosa. They are definitely spicy and it even opened pores in my head :-)

Liked the food. Reasonable service and friendly staff. May come again the next time.

I am so glad we met. I have been craving a South Indian Thali since I came back from India last year and I havent quite found one that was close to the one I had in India until today! Such a lovely resturant so Inviting and food delivered with such a punch of flavour. I can say I'm definitely 100% settled on my cravings. If your a south Indian fan head down here...

Been to this place many times the staff and the management are a AMAZING and the food is excellent would recommend it if someone is after the really taste of the South Indian cuisine and my favourite is the SOUTH INDIAN THALLI and the MADRAS FILTER COFFEE.

Had the Chettinaad Dosa and my fried had the Mysore Masala Dosa. Both were Yummy. On another occasion we had the The Special Thali which was authentic and very tasty indeed. Was also impressed with the customer service of this recently started restraunt. Even though they were busy they made our experience special. Ambience is great and location is convenient for us. Overall very happy with the experience here.

The Kalyana Sapaddu Thali is very authentic and tasty ...one of the few restaurants that don't charge extra if you ask for extra serve. Dosas are very tasty

Was fresh and good food. Bit pricey though compared to nearby Indian restaurants. Customer service was great and cleanliness was top-notch! 1 star less because we didn't like Chole batura as it was not fluffy and was fried little bit more making it hard instead of soft! Since we were hungry..we just ate it!! It's true that we should never order north indian food in south indian restaurants and vice versa!! Provided feedback about the idily that it was half cooked and they took in positive way and was also compensated by not charging for the take away sweets we purchased. That is rare because other Indian restaurants just ignore with your feedback and be rude! Recommended for those who want to tey vegetarian and fresh food.

After a long lockdown, my mum and I decided to have lunch at Ananda Bhavan. We ordered two Thali meals and they were amazing! For a moment we felt like we were back home. The authenticity of the food was amazing. To top it off, the staff were extremely friendly and even Vinoth came in to check on very one- making sure all their needs were catered to. Mum and I will definitely be back and hopefully bring along some of our friends and family. If you would like quantity for your food, please give this restaurant a try! You won't regret it 😊

It was a celebratory occasion for us and choose to celebrate with Indian food and this place was recommended by one of our friend. We were 7 of us including kids. Everything was spot on and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. Yes, you can start saying this could have been better, that could have been better, but all items were better comparatively with other restaurants and mind you this is South Indain tamilnadu style and can vary with what you have been used to. Some wow items - kalyana sapad, gobi manchurian, pineapple kesari bath, all dosa item, dhai papdi chat, tomato chutney, and of course filter coffee... Thank you Sri Ananda Bhavan for making our day... Definitely returning back for the Kalyana Sapad :-)

Just had a delicious vegetarian meal. Ordered the Ananda Bhavan Kalyana Sappadu. It was a variety of small dishes that where all packed with flavour. I was quiet surprised how filling and delicious a vegetarian meal could be. There was also a couple of deserts in the mix which really topped off the meal. For under $20 it's also great value. The staff where very friendly and the food was quiet quick once ordered. Definitely a hidden gem of the area!!

Visited this restaurant pretty much 4 years ago when it was newly opened before moving interstate & did left my feedback for providing us a good quality food with great service. Back to Melbourne again , thought should check it out this place again. I would say Gary & his team amazed me with the food options they got now & with same good quality food. Especially, Victorian hospitality industry had a tough time during Pandemic but seems like this restaurant doing good job in the community throughout the covid & I believe that’s the reason they are still there with the same passion which they had 4 years ago for their food & for their communities around them.. 👍👍
