HSV Cafe Annapoorani - Food VIC

4 /5 Vishnu Vardhan: HCF Café Annapoorni at the Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple in Carrum Downs serves tasty, affordable South Indian vegetarian dishes like dosas, vadas and sweets in a relaxed, welcoming setting. It’s great for a casual meal after visiting the temple, with friendly service and a peaceful atmosphere. Please bear in mind on the wait time when you visit during peak hours

4 /5 pavanichowdary mundra: We had dosa, vada , samosa , rolls and poori at this place, it had that peaceful vibe, as a telugu girl I always love having food at temple premises, reasonable pricing. Chutneys that came with dosa is amazing :) Suggestion : pls use less oil in samosas, and vada taste is really bad. Taste : 4/5 Peace : unlimited :)

2 /5 Kunju Tiwari: Usually a really good place, especially since we visit the temple often, but today we found a stray hair in the food... Put us off. Please take care for next time, epsecially for others, because I dont think me and my family will visit again. very disappointing (2 stars was a little too high for my family... but Ive had good experiences in the past so I thought to be lenient)

5 /5 jp singh: Our experience at this café began with its offering of Satvik food, which I deeply respect. Community food service fosters a sense of togetherness, making you feel like an integral part of something larger. Sitting among like-minded individuals, with the shared purpose of visiting the divine abode of God, enhances the spiritual experience. It all begins with purity—both in thought and in the food we consume. The café does an incredible job of serving quality, wholesome food that aligns with this ethos. However, it’s important to remember that this is not a restaurant in the traditional sense; rather, it’s a place that nourishes both body and soul. Some visitors might expect restaurant-style service, but embracing the true essence of this space enhances the experience. Our visit to the temple, followed by a meal at the café, was truly fulfilling. It served as a beautiful introduction to our culture for our children. The authentic flavors, cultural ambiance, and spiritual energy made the experience deeply enriching. Food-wise, being Punjabi, I would personally skip dishes like Poori and Dahi Vada, as the taste might differ from traditional Punjabi preparations. However, we absolutely loved the rest of the South Indian dishes and Dosa, which were flavourful and well-prepared. For anyone living in Melbourne—regardless of religion—this place is a must-visit to experience and share cultural heritage with family. It is truly a gem that deserves to be revisited again and again.

1 /5 Maitri Shah: The kitchen staff and serving staff are by far the most rude people. In very specific two girls who work in the front. There is a line of more than 15 behind us yet they were busy talking than taking someone’s order. Additionally we have been waiting in line from 20 mins and someone else’s order gets taken first without asking for consent ? Like basic ethics? And the food was below average
