We are a Sri Chinmoy divine enterprise located in downtown San Francisco that specializes in delightful vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
Ananda Fuara means the “Fountain of Delight,” a name given to us by spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy. Because of his inspiration, we strive to offer our customers delicious food that satisfies both inwardly and outwardly, combined with a peaceful atmosphere.
Please note that Ananda Fuara usually closes for the second and third weeks of April (to attend a celebration of Sri Chinmoy’s arrival in the West), and the third and fourth weeks of August (to attend a celebration of Sri Chinmoy’s birthday).
All of our dishes are vegetarian containing no eggs, alcohol or MSG. Most of our dishes are vegan, but the "meat" in some dishes contains whey protein.
