Great thosais! And lots of vegan options - Edit
I love the posters on the wall and that they have options for you to go vegan, or without garlic and onions or to go Jain - extremely helpful and easy, especially in an Indian restaurant where you typically have to say "no ghee, no butter, no dairy, no eggs" etc. Love that you can just say, go vegan, and they know what to do. We ordered the paper Thosai, which was crispy and had a delicious flavour, and the rawa onion Thosai, which was incredible. So many onions and so much flavour. Loved it!! And the chutneys were delicious, and all prices were cheap and the portions large. Definitely will be back to try more things.

Cheap and convenient - Edit
I had a vegan set with rice, two south indian stews and several other things and it was pretty tasty. Price was very cheap for the big amount of food one gets. Fast and good service, plenty of options in their specific vegan menu.

The samosas are sooooo good - Edit
The samosas were perfect. We also ordered the lunch/dinner set which can feed 4 people! The eggplant chutney was also delicious.

Just another Indian restaurant - Edit
The food is nice here and not expensive, but it can be very crowded. I had to wait half an hour to get my food the second time I went there, and all the waitors seemed to be in a rush. If you are looking for a nice place to chill out don't go there, but if what you want is just a regular Indian restaurant with good food, this is perfect.

Inexpensive and easy to find - Edit
Get off the MRT at Little India and a short walk to the end of Buffalo Road will take you to the Ananda Bhavan. It is very much a cafeteria style restaurant; place your order at the window and you are given an order number plate to place on your table. I was lucky enough to be helped by one of the employees to make sure what I ordered was vegan. The meal was fine and not expensive.

It is good - Edit
I was not going to write a review, others have, but I noticed a reviewer in 2009 had written a bad review. Maybe this person hit a bad patch then, but not now. The restaurant is good: tasty food, wide variety, daily specials (I always ask for the special, never know what I will get, but always good), and friendly staff (they always give me something extra!). I cannot see how anyone could complain. The one mild annoyance is that the restaurant is always busy. It is not a place to linger over your food and contemplate life. I invariably swing by here at least once in Sing. Recommended.

always great - Edit
I travel to Singapore several times a year for business and head to Little India for evening meals every second day on the NW SMRT line. This is a very special restaurant - a wide range of great food at modest prices, and I love the way they promote the vegetarianism.

Ananda Bhavan - Edit
Not the worst Indian food I've ever eaten, but not too far from it either. This was barely passable I'm afraid, and it actually made me sick afterward. Overpriced food and unfriendly staff make this a dining nightmare. If you want quality Indian food served by people who enjoy what they do, look elsewhere.
