Sri Thulasi Garden

During our stay at Peshagar guest house, we discovered this quaint little restaurant in Anegundi. Run by a family, it offers delicious and clean vegetarian dishes. Simply provide them with half an hour's notice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The puri and aloo sabji are some of the best I have ever tasted, and I highly recommend trying it. This spot is perfect for a quick breakfast before heading out to explore Anegundi or Hampi.

I don't even know where to begin in describing the incredible experience of dining at Thulasi Garden. This South Indian restaurant offers a traditional meal for only 60 Rs per Thali, but the food is prepared with such care and dedication that you can taste it in every bite. The owner, Kok, is a friendly Brahmin man who took the time to speak to us in a mix of Kannada and Hindi to ensure everyone at our table understood. He proudly pointed out the various herbs he uses in his dishes, emphasizing their health benefits. Kok shared his belief in the healing powers of Ashwagandha and how a Swami encouraged him to open the restaurant to share his knowledge of herbs and the restorative properties of food. We visited Thulasi Garden twice and each time, my banana leaf was spotless. I highly recommend striking up a conversation with the warm and knowledgeable owner. If you're lucky, you may even witness his wife chasing off some mischievous monkeys. This restaurant radiates joy, love, and laughter - all through its delicious food.

During our trip to Nava Brindhavanam, we informed the restaurant that a group of five people would like to dine there on our way back. When we returned with twelve people, we were pleasantly surprised to be served delicious and hot food at very reasonable prices. We were pleased with the quality and generous portions of the meal provided by the restaurant staff.

How do I even begin to describe the beauty of a meal at Thulasi Garden. It is a classic South Indian meal at 60 Rs per thalli - but the food is made with so much love and passion that you can taste it. The cook is a jolly round brahmin man. He came over and talked to us in a mix of Kannada and Hindi to make sure everyone at the table understood. He explained all the different herbs he had put in each dish so that he could help those who ate at his restaurant be healthy. He talked to us about the magical powers of ashwagandha. He told us that a swami told him to open this restaurant as seva, so that he could share his amazing knowledge about herbs and how food can be restorative. We went twice - and I'm not much of an eater - but my banana leaf was squeaky clean each time. If you go, definitely try to talk to the wonderful owner. And hopefully there will be some monkeys visiting, so you can see his wife go into monkey crackdown mode. This place is full of joy, love, laughter - and all through food!

We found this small restaurant in Anegundi while staying at Peshagar guest house. It is run by a family and serves clean, tasty vegetarian fair. Just give them a call half an hour in advance for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Their puri and aloo sabji is among the best i have ever had and i suggest you give it a try. This place is ideal for a fast breakfast before heading out to explore anegundi or Hampi
