Sri Ananda Bahwan @Tanjung Bunga, Penang

We decided to pay a visit again to Sri Ananda Bahwan which served Indian cuisine but this time to their new outlet in Tanjung Bunga. It is located directly opposite Paradise Sandy Beach Hotel. This garden style restaurant is very spacious, quiet and more airy compared to the outlet in Penang Street that we visited last year.

We were surprised to be greeted by a traditionally dressed doorman when we entered the restaurant from the back entrance.

Their staff were quick in guiding us to our table. As soon as we were seated, a plate of mixed fruit cocktail is served. For drinks, we were recommended the Mango Lassi. This yogurt like drink was creamy and smooth.

We ordered the basket of mixed naan as we wanted to try out their different varieties. The basket consist of cheese, garlic, chives and the plain naan. All the naan were prepared fresh. It comes with a plate of mint and also a sweet sauce.

There were so many mouth watering dishes to choose from and after much deliberating among ourselves, we end up having the Chicken Hyberabad, Gobi Manchurian, Masala Chicken and a vegetable. The curry of all the dishes were very flavorsome.

A basket full of papadam was served together with the meal.

After the meal, we treat ourselves to three different type of desserts. The Banaras Son Palpua - has a crisp and flaky texture, Palkoa garnished with pistachio nuts and lastly a cup of ice cream. All of them are tantalizingly sweet.

There are more dishes that we love to try on our next visit and their Tandoori is one of them.

We were happy with their services as their staff were very attentive and helpful. The place is so clean and well maintained. Definitely no hesitation in entertaining friends in this lovely place.
