**Thiruvananthapuram, April 10, 2025** – Anandam Home Caterers, a beloved Thiruvananthapuram institution, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Founded by the late L Anandavalli (Anandam G Nair), the catering business, now run by her daughter Raji Gopalakrishnan and grandchildren Lakshmy and Vishnu Suresh, has built a reputation on trust and high-quality food.
What began as catering for a Lions Club meeting blossomed into a thriving business, fueled by word-of-mouth and Anandavalli’s exceptional cooking. Initially focusing on traditional Kerala *sadya* feasts and small functions, Anandam has expanded its offerings to include customized menus, catering for corporate events and weddings, and a takeaway counter featuring Anandavalli’s famous *paal payasam*.
Raji, a trained classical dancer and music graduate, took over the business after her mother’s passing in 2001. Her children joined three years ago, bringing their professional skills in industrial psychology and engineering to the family business. The family maintains a commitment to using only the finest ingredients, with Raji adding innovative dishes to the traditional *sadya* menu.
This Vishu, Anandam is offering a special *sadya* pack for five, including three varieties of *payasam*, for ₹2,500. The family is also planning to launch a full-fledged event management company to further expand their services. Anandam’s legacy, built on a foundation of goodwill and exceptional cuisine, continues to thrive into a new generation. For bookings, contact 9846011907 or 9846051907. Home delivery is not available.
