Anand Bhavan - Manama

The staff at this restaurant is incredibly friendly and the food is delicious. A must-try dish is the Misal Pav. Their South Indian dishes are also very good.

We recently discovered Anand Bhavan and found that they offer a wide variety of delicious dosas. A dosa is a thin rice flour crepe filled with a warm potato mixture and spices. We highly recommend trying the Podi Masala Dosa for a spicy kick with ground lentils. The chai at Anand Bhavan is also top-notch, with the owner taking care to ensure the perfect blend of cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger. Their delicate rice flour steamed pancakes served with coconut chutney and spicy stew (sambar) are a refined taste of Indian cuisine and make for a great breakfast option. The average cost for a meal here is around $3-4 US. Anand Bhavan is located about 30 meters down a small alley from the Hindu Temple, just beyond the intersection of a larger street. To find it, head to the Intercontinental Hotel and ask for directions to the modern souk building, which is a short 5-minute walk away. From there, inquire with local Indian residents on how to get to the Hindu Temple, which is another 5-minute walk up the main street. Look for signs above eye level on the second floor of the building to easily locate Anand Bhavan.

We discovered Anand Bhavan a few months ago and they have the best cans in many varieties. A dosa is a thin rice flour cake, often filled with a warm potato mixture and spices. Try Podi Masala Dhosa for many spices and floor lenses inside. Anand Bhavan also has the best chai in Bahrain and the owner carefully ensures that the mix of cardamom, cinnamon and ginger is perfect. Also the delicate rice flour steamed pancakes served with a tiny pot of coconut cahutney and a tiny pot of spicy stew (single) are best sublime and refined Indian cuisine and makes for a great breakfast! The average cost of a meal here is $3-4 US. Anand Bhavanis about 30 meters down the small alley from Hindu Temple type into the shadows just over the intersection of a larger road that is over the small alley road that are the Hindu temple and Anand Bhavan. The best way to get here is to go to the Intercontinental Hotel and ask from there directions to the modern Souk building (about 5 minutes walk). From there you ask the Indian people how to get to the Hindu temple, which is only 5 minutes walk up the main road from the great modern Arab Souk building with its wooden roof. Also the Hindu people in the neighborhood can guide you and you will find it. Anand Bhavan also has signs above the eye level on the second floor level above the road.
