Sri Ananda Bahwan

George Town


This busy and buzzy Indian nasi kandar (rice and curry) restaurant whips up penny-priced masala dosas (rice-and-lentil crêpe stuffed with spiced potatoes), idli (steamed rice cakes) and roti canai (flaky flatbread with dips) for breakfast, plus more substantial dishes such as biryani, tandoori chicken, banana-leaf thalis (set meals) and a vast selection of rice and curries served canteen-style.

Its vegetarian-only outlet is a few doors along the street at No 25.
