Annapurna Indian Cuisine - San Diego

Came to lunch here after she was opened and was told that she is not ready yet, apparently is lunch only buffet. they said I should come back. I asked if they have vegan options, they said yes, but if I asked what they said it is only a few and that I should go somewhere else.

Started with samosas served with methe sauce and tamarind sauce. Truly a most delicious opener and comparable to what has been enjoyed through traveling. Second was beezwad special chicken biryani and paneer tikka masala plus roti. In plain language, dang good tasting Indian food, and makes me miss traveling to SE Asian that much more

It must be good if your Indian friend recommended it. It did not disappoint. We ordered idly, Masala vada, Gobi Manchurian, malai kofta, cheese masala dosa, mysore masala dosa, and of course thali. I’ve been craving for thali and Dosa since I got back from India. My taste bud was satisfied. The portion was huge so we had so much leftover to take home. Give it a try if you want non-typical Indian dishes.

Can't speak for authenticity but the food was delicious and the server was very polite and accommodating! We were a party of 3 (including toddler) and ordered the vegetable samosas. They were a bit spicier than I expected so toddler only had some of the crispy dough but they were tasty, including the dips that come with them. We also ordered the Rava Masala Dosa (included pic) which we'd never had before and was surprised by the size and flavor. It was nice and mild which was great for our toddler. He mostly had the dosa itself, but progress. All 3 dips were very delicious. For an entree, I ordered the goat korma, mild, and an order of garlic naan and was able to share that with our 2yr old. He liked it which was great! The korma was super tasty and creamy. My husband ordered the chicken vindaloo which he liked but said he'd try lamb next time. Needless to say we took most of the korma home because we had filled up on the other dishes so I'm excited about leftovers tomorrow!

Great Indian Food experience and service was fast and good. Love their Tikka masala
