I honestly don’t understand the negative reviews—this place has been a little sanctuary for me. The staff, even though many are from other countries, make it feel like a second home. They are so kind, caring, and always go out of their way to help. You can feel the warmth in the way they serve you—like you’re part of their family. The food is always fresh and made with love, and the cozy vibe just wraps around you. Whether I come for a quick bite or a long, relaxed meal, it never feels rushed or impersonal. I love supporting this restaurant because they bring such genuine care to every customer. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home, this is it. I can’t recommend it enough!

I had a wonderful dining experience at Sri Ananda Bahwan, Perai. The food was fresh, delicious, and full of authentic South Indian flavours. Every dish was prepared with care, and the service was friendly and efficient. A special highlight was the Kesari dessert—soft, fragrant, perfectly sweet, and a delightful way to end the meal. It was truly one of the best parts of the dining experience! If you’re looking for tasty Indian cuisine, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Sri Ananda Bahwan Perai. As I run my wellness and massage shop nearby, Sri Ananda Bahwan, Perai has become one of my favourite places to eat. I come here often because the food always feels like a comforting home-cooked meal. It’s delicious, satisfying, and always makes me feel right at home. A special thank you to all the staff—from the managers, cashiers, servers, and kitchen team. Everyone is always so friendly, caring, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit a pleasant experience.

Came here for tea time, enjoyed their tea time choices thoroughly. There were a few varieties of snacks to choose from, being a vadai lover, I first tried their vadai and it did not disappoint. Also tried their samosa and some sweets which was pretty good. Chai was delicious, will definitely come back when I come to butterworth again. 🙂😋

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.

Awesome environment. An absolute delicious meal we have today! We love the way the food is served, always heat up, fresh and presentable. The staff is very friendly and attentive to request. That is why I always brought my family here every weekend.... Look at empty plates, that is good enough to explain how delicious it is for us.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff… overall food was good and tasty. One must visit this place for all south and north Indian cuisines.

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.

Simple and nice place for indian food. Plenty of seatings available and friendly staffs. Slightly overpriced.

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.

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.
