EAT HERE! - Edit
This place is awesome. It’s tucked in an anonymous strip mall but it has some of the best vegan food around. Global vibe and menus with lots of vegan options, many teas, vegan baked goods, and even a vegan mango lassi. Also allergens are clearly marked on many of the baked goods.

Outstanding Ayurvedic Food - Edit
I ordered the South Indian Sampler and a mango lassi. Delicious and to top it off the decor is flooded with beautiful, spiritual pictures of deities. I’m looking forward to trying their locations in Albuquerque when I come back to NM.

Vegan Oasis in Santa Fe - Edit
Annapurna has an extensive menu and serves generous portions. Everything on the menu is vegetarian and can easily be made vegan with elimination of or substitution of regular cheese for vegan cheese. Their daily specials are delicious, although the same specials were listed every day for the week we were there. The veggie burger is very flavorful with curry spices, but unfortunately the chipotle spread on the bun completely overpowered the curry flavors. The burger patty was soft and required knife/fork eating, not sandwich style. The soup and salad combo was good: the sambhar was very delicious and the accompanying salad was generous and colorful. The lemongrass dressing just tasted like oil, but the ranch dressing was very good. The mediterranean platter was delicious as was the greens and beets salad. Excellent selection of teas.
Read moreThe desserts were nicely labeled with allergenic ingredients, but we didn't enjoy the ones we chose. We tried a cupcake that was like a sawdust cake with a smear of thin icing. The date laddu was good but the apricot laddu was so stiff and tough it was impossible to eat.
Pros: Extensive vegan menu, Delicious flavors and fresh ingredients, Great teas
Cons: Sweets were not good

Chill cafe, large menu, great food! - Edit
The cafe is very relaxing and their large menu has many great hits. They also have a great almost all vegan bakery counter, and a huge selection of loose teas. We had some thali and dosas along with dal and roti. Our only wish is that things that should come with the meal, like sliced onions, are not extra $.

I loved this place. We went for dinner the two nights we were in Santa Fe.
Read moreThe menu has a great variety and they serve breakfast all day long.
Ayurvedic food, vegan and vegetarian options.
I had the vegan Shepard's pie the first time and the vegetarian scramble (with tofu).
The Oat milk chai tea is awesome too and you get a refill.
There were many desserts (fully vegan) but some of them were not really tasty.
My favorite was the carrot muffin and the apple-cranberries pie.
Scones not recommended.
Pros: Excellent food, Good price, Variety in menu and fast service

Have been coming here for many years on trips to NM. Recently brought a non veg friend and she marveled at how the thali was like soul food. I also loved my vegan mango lassi. The chocolate chip cookies were not great but we let it slide. All in all— delish!!

Bland - Edit
Nice selection. Grateful they have vegan gluten free options. When I eat Indian food, I expect flavor explosion, BUT our dishes were just meh. Dosas and daal bland. Sambar was just bad. It should have been a warning that there were no Indian folks working or eating in the Indian restaurant.

What am I missing?? - Edit
With so many good reviews, I feel like maybe we just ordered all together wrong. My husband had in his words, "the greasiest fries ever." - and that's saying a lot because he's always eating fries. He also had the portobello mushroom burger and said it was just okay, but it fell apart really easily.
Read moreI had the beet soup which was tasteless and just not good (and I'll eat just about anything that I know is good for me - had to throw out!) The cauliflower tacos were also, just okay. Totally disappointed because I rarely go out and have always had really good experiences when I choose a vegan type restaurant.
On the plus side, the pecan pie was good.
Sorry, I know they're trying, and I always feel good about supporting such restaurants, but not this time. Not sure what everyone else ordered, or if it was just an off day :(
Pros: Pecan pie was good
Cons: Greasiest fries ever, Bland food, beet soup that was just awful....

Variety and a great patio - Edit
I love the Malaysian Stir Fry and you can get it with a coconut curry sauce and either noodles or brown or white rice. They always have a couple specials and have loads of menu items for all tastes from veggie burgers and masala fries to breakfast burritos and green chile. There's have good salads including a warm Quinoa salad. They also have the best outdoor patio space for Covid era. Their Indian food can be a little bland, since it's Ayurvedic and could just use more salt, but the more Cosmopolitan part of their menu is good. I also like that you can get a dosa instead of some boring whilte bread with your meal. Everything seems to be handmade; their fries are by far the best in Santa Fe hands down and come with homemade catsup or some other sauce of your choice. I with they would fix the ambiance a tad. Get rid of the t.v. monitor that displays the menu and replace it with a simple chalk board for example. Also they could cook the veggie sides a little less. They definitely deserve 5 stars though. Grateful to have Annapurna in Santa Fe.

Shane, thank you for dining with us and the five-star review. So glad you enjoyed our menu selections. We use a digital interface to reflect specials, veggies, and soups of the day so we are able to provide this information to everyone via the website. This way we can easily offer those items for online ordering via doordash and selflane. While a chalkboard might be more visually appealing it does lack this level of functionality.

So Yummy - Edit
Had the cauliflower tacos on dosa without any kind of cheese and they were delicious! The cilantro lime sauce is one of my favorite things here. The side of black beans was not my favorite but the portion was great. They were too spicy for me but I'm sure other folks can enjoy them. The lemon ginger drink is always fresh and always delicious and complemented the tacos so well. :)

It’s decent - Edit
I ordered via DoorDash because they are now allowing dining inside - order was incorrect and missing some side items. The food we did get was okay... but missing random things like the lettuce on the burger, or the cheese on the cheese fries. Probably won’t go back.
Read moreAnnapurnasWVC
Michelle, I'm sorry your DoorDash order had missing items. Based on your review it appears that you ordered our Veggie Burger and Chile Cheese Fries and you are correct the veggie burger should have had lettuce on it and the certainly the Chile Cheese Fries should have had whatever cheese you chose whenever ordering the Chile Cheese Fries. My apologies, if you ever have an issue please call the location you ordered from or email us at info@chaishoppe.com.
