Campaign to save riverside Indian

TRADE at the humble pay-what-you-feel restaurant Annalakshmi has taken a huge battering courtesy of  the dusty, noisy Elizabeth Quay construction site surrounding it.

Fans of the vegetarian Indian restaurant are starting a campaign to save the place.

Annalakshmi has been open 25 years, letting people ‘pay what they feel’ their meal is worth and has served many folk down on their luck.

But since construction started on Elizabeth Quay in 2012, trade has declined dramatically, from 600 a day to 250.

Fan Ellen Kang has started a Facebook campaign “Fortnight to support Annalakshmi to stay on the Swan”.

While many campaigns leave it at feel-good “likes” and “shares” she’s imploring people to head down and put actual bums on seats over the fortnight April 13 to 27.
