Always a pleasure to come here to eat! This is my friends and I third time coming here and the portions are pretty hefty with the food being enjoyable as well! The service is pretty slow but am assuming it is because it's connected to a grocery store so the same employees are going back and forth from restaurant to store. The vibe of the place is pretty old but it doesn't really matter to me when the food is clean and yummy. You're able to pick the spice level for the food and everything on the menu is vegetarian which is a cool change! read more

This place is amazing and I'm already trying to figure out when I can go back and try some different dishes. I was craving dosas, which is what brought me here in the first place. When we arrived at 8:15 (they close at 9) on a Saturday night, there were only two other tables of people dining, but in the next half hour, three more tables came in. The space is quite plain (little decor), with wood tables, a tv playing an Indian movie, and yellow walls. They are also connected to (same owners I presume) an Indian grocery store. Our order consisted of chai, veggie spring rolls, pani puri, masala paneer dosa, and special dosa. The food came out timely, hot, and the service was quick and efficient. The spring rolls were mediocre but everything else was sooooo yummy. I could eat that dosa every day and be totally happy. The food was quite spicy and very flavorful. I'll need to order a Lassi to help out my low-spice tolerance but it was the type of spicy that was not overpowering and tasted great. I'm looking forward to going again soon! read more

Located in a small shopping plaza off ridge is this hidden gem. I stopped in for lunch and they did not disappoint. Only one server was working and was as on top of the tables as one could be. Was a complete full house. I was able to order immediately upon sitting and waited a bit on water. She was handling a table with children so nice making them drinks out of sugar cane. I absolutely must try it next time def settled the kiddos down. I got the hot and sour soup omg delectable. Literally cooked to perfection. Highly recommend. Then got a vegan aloo gobi. Spice level was great. I love spicy and they didn't hold back. I will be back to try many more items. read more

At Annapurna, you will definitely have an authentic dining experience! The thalis are aesthetically appealing and are sure to make you salivate! They are a great sampler of multiple curries, biryani, breads (naan, roti, pappadum)! The Punjabi thali has more of the well known Indian dishes like paneer makhani, dal, veggie biryani, and raita with a giant piece of buttered naan. The Gujarati thali is served with 3 different rotis, gulab jamun, raita, curries, and khaman. If you're making your way to Annapurna, I also recommend their chaat!! Their street food menu is quite extensive. Some I recommend are the pani puri (crisp puffs with chutney and veggies), sev puri (flat crackers with chutney and veggies topped with sev, like crunchy noodles), or masala dosa (crispy savory crepe with potatoes and onion)! This is a family run restaurant and they are soooo friendly! Very casual ambiance! read more

The food at Annapurna is absolutely delicious. The service was just OK (as in we didn't get menus) and the ambiance was... unusual. Basically, you're sitting in the eating area of a rice warehouse. It wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting. I would absolutely 100% go back for the food - but I would get carry out. read more

The Greater Cleveland area certainly has its fair share of Indian food and Annapurna is a standout! While it's exterior and interior are unassuming, Annapurna's eclectic and rich variety of food is truly astounding. For a group of five, we ordered the Punjabi Thali x2, the Paneer Dosa, and the Vegetable Biryani, which we found to be the perfect amount of food. The Paneer Dosa was a wonderful way to start off the meal. Despite its light, airy texture, it still packs a strong amount of flavor. The Vegetable Biryani was especially appetizing and a personal favorite! Finally, the Punjabi Thali is the perfect platter to bring together your group of friends and family. Acting almost like an array of samples, the Punjabi Thali will give everyone the flavor(s) they're looking for. Throw in some naan, rice, and a samosa, and you have an excellent meal to share with your loved ones! read more

For your first time here, I'd recommend going for a thali! Big sampler plate with several different curries comprising a diverse mix of flavor profiles, plenty of naan for dipping and a small dessert - an ideal option for someone like me looking to explore more of Indian cuisine but easily overwhelmed by big menus just to try a little of everything One of the staff members explained that each of their two thalis represents a different region in India - both the Punjabi and Gujarati were delicious but Punjabi is definitely a safer choice since the latter has some *seriously spicy* options that can be out of comfort range for those with a lower tolerance or not accustomed to authentic Indian levels of heat. Spiciness aside, both are certainly worth trying since the Gujarati includes some unique options, particularly a tangy cauliflower curry that I really enjoyed. Though we got both to try, portions are large enough that one thali is definitely enough to share between two. Only wish the menu came w a more detailed listing of each thali dish included for future reference on ones to order individually bc I wouldn't even be able to tell you what my fave ones were called. All I can say is Annapurna is a must-try, absolutely worth venturing down to Parma for fans of authentic vegetarian Indian food! read more

Don't be turned off by it's strip mall location or minimal decor. This place is a true gem where you'll find authentic Indian cuisine spanning multiple regions. We wanted to check this place out after reading Douglas Trattner's "The Best Things We Ate in Cleveland 2021" in CLE Scene. Their menu is huge, I couldn't believe how long I scrolled for! It was hard to choose what we should order for the first time. They have a wide street food selection, including chaat. We got the samosa chaat which was a large serving, and every bite was flavorful. Panipuri is a favorite of mine, and not many places have it. It's fried, stuffed dough balls into which you pour in spicy, tangy water. It's fun, a mix of textures, and a burst of flavor! The Thalis are great if you want to sample the menu. My partner and I were ambitious and ordered both - we ended up with leftovers. There are no descriptions for the thalis on the menu, but I can suspect the exact dishes in each change regularly. We didn't ask what was in our thalis - it was fun to taste each one blindly and appreciate the flavors to reach a guess. I've listed what I was able to identify from their menu. Our Punjabi Thali contained: - samosa - paneer tikka masala - malai kofta - yellow daal tadka - vegetable biryani - naan - papadam - basundi Our Gujarati Thali contained: - sev puri - bhindi masala - Tindora Shaak - Kala Chana - roti - papadam - jalebi It is also has a small attached Indian food market in the back. We are going to have to make multiple trips to try all of the delicious dishes. read more

This was a good eat; I ordered for takeout but I went in to order, went up to the counter; and my food got made very quickly. The menu was online, no paper menus. I don't remember seeing any meat options, I think the whole menu was vegetarian. I tried the pav bhaji and paneer tikka masala, samosa and pakora. My favorite by far was the vegetable pakora, they were delicious. They gave the chutneys with the mint chutney on top but both in the same container which I didn't realize until I was halfway done, but I thought that was smart! The food was relatively spicy but some of my family who can't tolerate spice well, thought it was fine. I asked for medium/mild. The paneer tikka was good, creamy sauce, and about what you'd expect. I really like the pav bhaji, it was perfectly spicy and different from the super creamy dishes. I would definitely recommend if you are wanting some Indian food to hit the spot! read more

Poor quality of service. Ambience was mid. Trash on the floor. Jug of water looked contaminated. Misleading advertisement and marketing on website. Initially said the dosa deal is not on Friday but their website says otherwise. So when showed their website, they agreed to give this deal. The waiter said Buy One Get One Dosa but still charged almost for 2 dosas. 1 masala dosa is for $7.99 so we ordered 4 dosas. They charged pre-tax 25.99 for 4 which means $ 6.49/dosa. Totally dissatisfied. Taste wasn't worth it. Paradise/Honest in my neighborhood is better read more

As a transplant from the Portland, OR who has enjoyed the cuisine of India for decades I can say with confidence that Annapurna serves some of the most authentic Punjab and South Indian dishes I have enjoyed in North America. The restaurant staff is welcoming and the service is distinctly Indian which is to say that with a diverse menu offering of elaborate plates so you'll have to be patient as preparation takes more time than typical American restaurants. Expect to wait 20-30mins, enjoy a beer or stroll through the attached Annapurna grocery. For anyone new to Annapurna or Indian cuisine I strongly recommend ordering a Special Thali, they are a formal dinner that provide a variety of dishes in smaller portions so you can sample the range of menu options. You won't be disappointed. read more

I went here because I had a coupon. Overall the food is very good but I didn't get one of the items I ordered. My favorite dish i didn't get to try, but I sampled the other food we bought and it was a very tasty. The one dish was a little spicy I was told, but I didn't think it was. read more

In the midst of doing errands I found this place on accident. I was excited because it's a nice change of pace from typical Indian restaurants because the menu has sections like "street food," etc. The interior is fairly sparse with a number of places to sit. I ordered the samosa (I think I got two or three), a mango lassi and gulab jamon - all for $7.98 during lunch. The samosas were filled with spicy potatoes and peas and was greasy, lukewarm and just average. The mango lassi was good though small. The gulab jamon was normal. Overall, I wish it was better. Maybe other things off their menu are worth trying. read more

Excellent and authentic vegetarian Indian street food. Came in for a quick bite and got an order of samosas which we served with tamarind and coriander sauces. The pastry was very flakey and flavorful while the filling was tender and perfectly spiced. I also had the potato, chili and onion dosa which was crisp and loaded with onion and jalapeno. These were both soaked ahead of time so they didn't overpower the delicate dosa. Friendly service and very good prices for home-prepared style food. read more

Atmosphere is minimal. OK seating. A few things decorating the walls. A television on the wall playing moderately loud Indian music. Restaurant equipment on the floor as they are using parts of the room as a storage area. It would seem that the attached grocery store is the main attraction and that the restaurant space is secondary. Service was a bit strange. It was very matter-of-fact, as if your tired mother had been interrupted from house-cleaning, but was dutifully offering to get you something to eat after your unexpected drop-by. Friendly enough, but minimally so. You pay at the front, and we spent too long just standing there waiting for any of the few people working there to come back to the dining room and notice us. They were out of mango lassis. This was strange, given that this is part of an Indian grocery store and the ingredients would seem to be staples. That said, the food was very good! Probably the best naan I've had. The meals (all vegetarian) were all very good at a refreshingly reasonable price. You want a no-frills good Indian meal? This would be a good choice! read more

I am a huge fan of every element of Indian cuisine and spend a lot of my free time watching videos on how to, delicious Street eats, and legendary cooks! I have never had the opportunity to try a dosa. After watching a video on the NYC dosa man, I had to find a dosa locally! After reading the reviews for Annapurna, I was ready for a trip to pick up my very first masala dosa. I appreciated the fact that they separately packaged the aloo, dosa and masala. After a 40 minute drive home, the dosa was ready to devour! It was spicy and delicious. The masala was less exciting, but the overall experience will bring me back again! We also ordered Chana masala, aloo gobi, and vegetable biryani. Maybe I'll write a part 2 to review those items. For now, I'm happy and full! read more

I keep coming back here for the sev puri. Transports me back to the streets of Mumbai (India). I've traveled the country searching and this is as good as it gets for sev puri. I've also tried the pav bhaji (choose your spice level 1 to 10) and a masala dosa. Both good as well. Service is quick. No no-veg options and no alcohol. They have a good a selection of Indian sweets and ice cream. read more

Ok this place takes the spot of my #1 favorite Indian restaurant in Cleveland and maybe even #1 restaurant overall. Ultra authentic, the cooks and staff will tell you this. I believe the owner is North Indian, but their expertise is not limited by region - the South Indian food is as incredible as the North Indian food. We came with a group of about twelve people and they were happy to accommodate such a large group. I got the Punjabi Thali and oh man... what a knockout dish. This dish is MASSIVE. You get large pieces of naan and an overwhelming amount of things to dip it in. This dish is easily two meals worth of food. Each cup is an experience of floral aromas and traditional Indian flavor profiles. If you eat here, your standard of Indian food will be raised so high, this might be the only Indian food place you will eat at in the Cleveland area. It is that good. I also tried some of the ice cream they had at the front of the store and was thoroughly pleased. They give Americans like myself a chance to taste real, authentic Indian food and desserts. They were so hospitable as well, they gave free ice cream to all the women in our group when we left! So incredibly nice! They instantly won us all over and we all can't wait to go back. If I lived in Parma, I would be here every week. The food is so good though that the 25 minutes it takes me to drive there is 100% worth it. Please please please go here. Your perception of Indian food will be completely changed. Unparalleled cooking is what you will experience. Very excited to return :) read more

I love Indian food. Most of my reviews are Indian spots. This place is a vegetarian spot I Just started coming to. My mistake is I order blindly and forget what I ordered when I get home so I don't know how to order it again. That's how stupid I am. I lost 8 lbs in one month eating the vegetarian life. Honestly I feel better . The samosas here are off the hook (really good). The okra dish is good. The vegetarian life agrees with me. My only complaint, and not to stereotype Indian people, but Indian people hate taking American Express. They'll accept it but give you weird looks and want to charge you a small fee to cover the credit card costs. Not just at restaurants but they'll try that shit at gas stations and convenience stores. Don't hate me Indian people I love your food, I just hate when y'all try to do that to me. read more

OMGOSH!!! The food was amazing! My husband found this establishment through a Google search. Not a fancy restaurant but the food makes up for the cosmetics. The staff was VERY friendly and polite. The cooks even thanked us as we rang out. The food was fresh and hot. I appreciated the fact that they served iceless water - it seemed to help the palate with some of the spicy dishes. The portions were so large that we took some home. I will DEFINITELY return and highly recommend for vegetarians. read more

Really amazing garlic naan and food but the service was nonexistent. We waited over an hour for food while the other diners got theirs plate after plate. It was clear we were not welcome. The food came out extremely spicy and I asked for cream. The waiter looked at me like I had 9 heads and reluctantly brought it out. We went up to the cashier to pay and were thankful to be out of the restaurant after 2 hours. We were the last diners left though 5 families had come in and finished their food while we waited. Great food spoiled the terrible service here. read more

Mediocre at best. I don't understand these high ratings. Thali not that exciting & you just cannot eat their sambhar & chutney given with dosa. Also u wait way too long for food.

I've ordered from this establishment in the past but lately they've had some logistical issues. Once they could not accept orders, even over the phone, although they were open. This last time I ordered over their web site, only to arrive and the food was not prepared. They said they were not accepting orders. My CC was charged. Whatever the reason for the technology problems is unacceptable. I was unable to eat twice for different reasons. I'm unlikely to go back. read more
