Delicious vegan food - Edit
I thought the quality of the food at Annalakshmi was quite good, so perhaps some changes have been made in the kitchen since some of the older reviews. Not a huge variety of dishes, but enough for a relatively diverse meal including bread, soup, rice, dahl, and 2-3 other curry type wet dishes. An attendant told me nothing had dairy, so perhaps this should be classified as a vegan place now. Or perhaps we got lucky that night. A lot of people did pass through but they never ran out of anything. It's a huge seating area that never completely filled while we were there on a Wednesday. I'd expect crowds on popular nights and when the weather is good. Definitely reserve. Considering the giant hall type seating, the atmosphere is decent. All in all a good experience but certainly nothing super fancy. We paid $15-20 per person for our meals.

Good veg option in Perth CBD - Edit
The food is good, but the place can get pretty packed. As it's served from a buffet, that can mean long lines that snake through the place. Not sure how vegan it is, but it's 100% vegetarian. They frown upon wasted food, so it's best to take a smaller amount and go back for seconds if still hungry.

Good Basic Food - Edit
A nice place in a beautiful setting with basic but nourishing food. As they have a donation policy I think the range of food is adequate. Very popular.

left me hungering for something else - Edit
The views over the Swan River would be nice except it was so crowded that all the good tables were taken. The vegan food was bland and watery (and there wasn't much of it because the crowd had beaten me to the buffet). I hardly had anything of substance to eat (and was left hungry) so I gave them $3, but was promptly told that $5 was the minimum (so much for paying the amount you thought the food was worth)!!

Food with a view - Edit
We went for dinner at Annalakshmi on our first night on holidays in Perth and we liked it a lot, so we went there again on our last night in Perth.
Read moreThe location of this volunteer run restaurant is fantastic. Upstairs in the Barrack Square Jetty with unobstructed views over the swan river, lucky us! The decor of the place is also very nice.
The friendly volunteers explained to us which dishes are vegan (only the sweets weren't vegan) and we really enjoyed the food.
Enjoy a little walk along the Swan River before or after your meal.

Uninspiring food made by volunteers - Edit
Large modern permises on the foreshore promise much but deliver little. Food is bland thali style with very little variation. Watery vegetables, thin dhal, sauerkrout-style salad choice of plain or safron rice. No bread at the lunch (Sept 08).Watery cordial. Watery coconut desert passable

Cons: Bland food, little to choose
