HOTEL ANANDHA BHAVAN — Restaurant in Puducherry

Hotel Anandha Bhavan is a fantastic spot in Karaikal for tasty vegetarian food with plenty of variety. The place is clean, welcoming, and family-friendly, with quick, polite service that keeps things moving even during the rush.

The South Indian dishes are consistently excellent - soft idlis, crispy dosas, flavorful pongal, and well-balanced sambar and chutneys. Their meals/thali at lunch are wholesome and satisfying, with fresh sides that feel homely. Come evening, the tiffin options like uthappam and parotta are equally good.

They also do a surprisingly good Chinese menu - fried rice, noodles, and Manchurian - prepared with care and great flavor, which is rare to find alongside such solid South Indian fare.

A special mention to their roti and curries: the rotis are soft and served hot, and the gravies are rich, well-spiced, and not oily - perfect comfort food. Whether you go for paneer-based gravies, mixed veg, or dal, the taste is consistently delicious.

Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and hygiene standards are clearly maintained. If you’re in Karaikal and want a reliable vegetarian restaurant that serves authentic South Indian, tasty Chinese, and excellent roti-curry combos, Anandha Bhavan is a top choice. Highly recommended - I’d happily return every time...

One of the best Vegetarian hotels I have visited !!! Usually I dont praise a Vegetarian hotel... But trust me this place is the best destination if you prefer Veg !! We were in search of a good Nonveg hotel at around 3 pm.... but every nv hotels were closed or not serviceable at that time... we were disappointed to finally go to this hotel !! Without any expectation we ordered paneer koftha, naan, mushroom biriyani and meals !!! Trust me... we enjoyed everything !! Even the orange juice that we ordered tasted fantastic!! Will be visiting this place everytime when we...

The best medhu vada ever. Mr. Arunachalam, the vada master has the best of smiles as well! (in photo)

And the waiter anna, I wish I'd asked him his name, recited the longest list of breakfast items, faster than anyone I've heard. He was v helpful as well even though they were very busy doing chores.

We went to this hotel at 8am or so. Here are what we ordered and their rating, Ghee Roast (4/5) Sambar Idly (3.5/5) Plain Dosa (3.8/5) Idly (3/5) (too dense) Vada (6/5) (too good) tea (4.5/5) (good)

Thanks...
