Wonderful Indian food with tons of vegan/vegetarian options

We had the pleasure of being transported to India on a recent hosted experience at the amazing restaurant Annapurna in San Diego, California ☀️

We were invited to try their weekend lunch buffet. Each bite left us satisfied, yet craving more. Here’s what we loved:

👉 tamarind chutney: bold flavor with a citrus twist
👉 the naan and poori were warm and soft
👉 the okra pakoda was super flavorful
👉 the spinach dal was the perfect texture and taste
👉 the eggplant potato curry was a delightful combination of eggplant and flavor-packed spices that left all of us wanting more
👉 the channa masala was delightfully delicious and satisfying
👉 the sambar was savory perfection

If you are either an Indian food lover or curious to give it a try, we highly recommend this buffet. It will give you the opportunity to taste everything and go back for what you want more of. Which is exactly what our two kids did!! The menu is extensive and sure to satisfy any flavor palette and desire. 😋

It’s in a fantastic location in a shopping plaza with ample parking. All tables were full at lunch hour with a constant stream of customers eating there as well as getting takeout. The space is clean and comfortable, and makes for a lovely family meal 🍽️

According to the restaurant: “Annapurna, a Sanskrit word means full or complete or perfect food. We believe that the purpose of food is not only to increase longevity and bodily strength, but also to purify the mind and consciousness.” A set of values we truly support and can get behind 🌱🫶🏻

This kitchen has done a lovely job adding plenty of plant-based items to the menu that are packed with freshness and flavor. We highly recommend and can’t wait to go back 👏🏻

Great food, okay service

This is my favorite Indian food place ever. Being from Socal, we have a lot of options for Indian, and this is definitely tastiest I can find. I love the chickpea masala and eggplant with peanut sauce. The service is friendly enough to keep going. Last time I was there I got there when they'd just opened, and the guy at the front asked if we could come later, or wait a while because the chef hadn't arrived. Not sure what that was about, but the food still didn't take long to come out. They are very vegan friendly.

Annapurna

Came here for lunch after they opened and was told they still hadn’t gotten the buffet ready, apparently lunch is buffet only. They told me to come back. I asked if they had vegan options they said yes, but when I asked what they said it’s few and that I should go somewhere else.
