Sri Ananda Bahwan Restaurant – Northern and Southern India Cuisine
| Share |
[tag]Little India[/tag] in [tag]Penang[/tag] is the place to look for good [tag]Indian food[/tag]. Once you step into Little India you will first be greeted by the smell of burning incense sticks, the sights of colorful clothes and the hearing of loud Indian music.
Sri Ananda Bahwan was the place I went for the taste of Little India. Located at the intersection of King Street (Lebuh King) and Penang Street (Lebuh Penang) [tag]Sri Ananda Bahwan[/tag] offers northern and southern India cuisine, one of their many specialties is banana leaf rice.
Actually I got to know this restaurant from Deva, who’s currently doing his industrial training in my company. It was his recommendation which prompted me to come to Little India and try the Indian food here.
A set of [tag]banana leaf rice[/tag] with chicken costs RM6. The restaurant is very generous with the curry, they left a 2 big bowls of curry chicken and dhaal for us. At first, I thought it would be charged into our bill But it’s actually free. It might be known to you guys but this is my first banana leaf meal, so pardon my ignorance lol.
[tag]Chicken masala tosai[/tag] is excellent and it’s only RM3.50. The chicken masala is placed at the center of the tosai and then folded into shape. Eating the tosai with masala chicken and curry gravy.. fuyoh, damn nice. You must really try this!
There are also many types of cakes which all look very nice. Too bad I was already full from the banana leaf set and couldn’t stomach more..
Delicious looking curries that I will definitely try the next time I return. Besides Penang Street, Ananda Bahwan also has branches in Bukit Mertajam, Tanjung Bungah, sungai Petani and Kuala Lumpur! Do you have any recommendation for good Indian food? Please do tell me, for I am a curry lover lol.

i have been to malaysia in the month of may i was staying in the paradaise beach resort i went to the opposite sri anandha bhavan restaurant hotel in tanjag bungah penang . the envorinment is good i went to have my food there ,and i saw several things happenings there . 90percent of the staffs are indians one of the staff spoke to me and i asked him about the food and is work he became sad and said that he was a bangladeshi and they toruture the staffs a lot and 14 hours of work is given for them and they have to stand for 14 hours they dont have a hygiene place to live and the owner gets off all the passport from the staff. only one off is given in a month no medical expense is given to them they bring them by saying that all facilities will be given but nothing is given proper for them . the owner threatens the staff by saying if u go away from this place i will kill you and throw u in the sea. the government also doesnot cares for the workers . i lost my mood of having my food there . u can see there 2 different kinds of menu there and the boy said the rates will be put as their wish if the customer didnot have look on the menu properly they will be cheated and get money by raising the bill amount . these kinds of works are done . the boy was so said that he has been given all the work to be done and threatend too. he said that many of them have ran away from the restaurant due to the over load of the work and vulgar words by the owners . the government and public should say these word to the government i am going to pass this words to the inidna embassy and also to the immigration department of malysia. over work and no care for the staffs and no medication care . when i came ot the bill counter to pay my money i saw a boy tall fair boy in the counter when i asked for the bill he asked me where i had the food and i said he shouted from ht counter and asked a boy who took order for me just saying a amount he collects the money from me i dont know whether it was charged more for me bcs i didnot receive the bill . when i asked the boy again the next day who spoke with me he said here this is casual that boy in the counter is a indian malayale he always does like this for yeasrs . so i dont want their personal things but earning the tourist by cheating is not a good . i will definetely tell all my friends not to go such worst reaturant . . i want the sri anandha bhavan to avoid al this way of sucking the money from the tourist by cheating . no use how good food u give but cheating them is not a good way to earn for u r savings it will never lat for u. people please avoid sri anandha bhavan be cautious
