Annalakshmi
The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (December 2014) |
Annalakshmi is an international chain of vegetarian restaurants operating on the uncommon principle of trust in humanity, as it encourages patrons to pay what they believe is fair.[1][2] The name derives from the Hindu goddess of abundance, as a compound word obtained from Anna (food) and Lakshmi (the eponymous deity).[3] It is the culinary division of the non-profit organization Temple of Fine Arts (TFA).[4][5]
History
First started in Malaysia in 1984,[3] Annalakshmi has branches in Australia, Singapore and India. The Coimbatore branch (started 1989), is known to participate in local charities and support the fine arts.[6] In 2013, the Chennai branch won the Times Food and Nightlife Award, in the category Best South Indian Restaurant (Stand-alone).[7]
