This place was absolutely amazing. Coming from someone who has dined at other Nepali restaurants, this has to be the best overall for food quality and price! My Nepali friends agree as well. I wish they were closer to me since I do live about an hour away. Our bill was only $111 for 5 people!! I would definitely recommend this place to others, especially if they’re coming from the annual APAHE conference which takes place 5 minutes from the restaurant!
This restaurant is absolutely amazing. The service was amazing, very friendly workers and they are very kind. The food was also so bomb, it was nice and hot when it came out, and I can’t wait to eat from here again.
Sometimes pure luck guides to a restaurant off the beaten path in an area of town we wouldn’t normally visit. That’s how we arrived at Annapurna’s, and we are glad. We were surprised at how few tables were actually occupied. One other table when we came in and two more tables as we ate. Yet there were more than 20 vacant tables. This restaurant deserves better patronage - as an aside they seemed to have a thriving delivery clientele which maybe keeps the kitchen busy. We had two vegans in our party so we enjoyed a selection of vegan and non vegan foods including Momo and Pakora to start. I had Lamb Tikka Masala as a main course, it was delicious. They lost a star overall and on atmosphere because they were out of two of the beers on the menu. Small point but important.
A very regal space that seems to have always been, Annapurna is a delightful little spot for Nepalese and Indian food. The ambiance is hauntingly spacious and it was empty when we went there. The waiter assured us that they were slammed and soon we saw a line of Uber drivers picking up orders. We didn't get papads gratis and the ones we ordered weren't garnished with onions and tomatoes and chills. The dal soup, however, was mildly spiced and very flavorful. The pakodas were ajwain seeds forward as were lacking in flavor, but did well in terms of crunch and size. The malai koftas were delectable and probably the biggest and most spherical I have ever seen! The sauce was not spicy and very flavorful. Went well with the rotis. The vegetable biriyani was spicy on the tongue and quite good, but this is no Hyderabadi style dum biriyani and more of a functional all spices and vegetables type. Overall it's a nice place for comfort food, but it could definitely use some sprucing up with regards to the drinks selection.
Tried this place for the first time. I love momos so anytime I see that on a menu I have to try it. Ordered the mixed momo, samosas, and mixed tandoori. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the quality and quantity of food given the price. There were only 7pcs of momo for $12.99 which is a lot less than any other nepali restaurant for a higher cost. Also the momos were very heavy on cumin. Out of veggie, chicken, and lamb momos, the chicken ones were better. The samosas were okish. The tandoori looked a lot better than it tasted and it was definitely not worth the $22.99 price tag. I understand inflation and wouldn't have minded the cost if the food was better. Maybe the other items are better 🤷♀️
