Anjanaas Restaurant is a South Indian restaurant at 57–59 Willesden Lane in Kilburn. Its kitchen explores the distinctive flavours of Kerala alongside familiar dishes from across southern India, with coconut, curry leaves, mustard, tamarind and aromatic spices bringing depth to the menu.
Meals can begin with pappadoms, pickles and chutneys, followed by lentil and raw mango soup or a seafood soup enriched with coconut milk. Onion bhaji, crisp uzhunnu vada with sambar, cauliflower fritters and dosas provide a broad introduction to the restaurant’s vegetarian cooking.
Seafood is an important part of the selection, appearing in king prawn preparations, grilled fish and a signature coastal fish curry. Kerala style chicken and lamb dishes, tandoori cooking, vegetable curries, rice and freshly prepared breads allow diners to assemble a substantial meal with varied levels of richness and spice.
Thoran and other vegetable sides bring freshness and texture, while appam, Kerala paratha and poori offer different ways to enjoy the sauces. Lunch selections, vegan and gluten free choices make the menu flexible, and traditional sweets and hot drinks provide a gentle finish to the South Indian experience.
