Annalakshmi

Among Singapore’s more unique dining experiences, Annalakshmi is an all-you-can-eat vegetarian joint, for whatever you wish to pay. Since 1986, it's been serving the local community with home-style Indian vegetarian food, with the concept "eat as you want, give as you wish". Its Downtown Gallery outlet is also completely volunteer-run. Here, you can stuff yourself with endless servings of biryani, poori, appam, vegetable stew, potato palya (dry, spiced potatoes) and cauliflower curry among a slew of other North and South Indian home-cooked dishes. The buttermilk drink is popular with its regulars, and like everything else, comes with free refills. Only walk-ins are accepted at the moment, and do note that it can get rather crowded during weekday lunch hours.
