    Fresh fruit offerings
    Shelby S.

    It was counter service only, but for the prices, fantastic. Note: their paper menus are out of date so the items cost more than on the menu. I always attempt to write for vegans/vegetarians/omnivores. However this restaurant is strictly vegetarian but their food is delicious. My husband eats meat and loved the food. Meat-eaters do not need meat at EVERY SINGLE meal, at least I hope. My husband tried to order the masala paper dosai off of the outdated paper menu and they only offered a regular masala dosai. It sure looked like and tasted like a paper dosai to us! I ate about a quarter of his lunch, so he was left a bit hungry. It was just so good! I ordered rice, and rasam off the paper menu. Well, they no longer offer rasam. So I ordered rice, sambar and papadam. Also delicious! The counter order-takets were so very nice. The restaurant was nothing fancy, no booths even, but it was fine. Especially when you take the food and prices into consideration. We will 100% be back!

    Great service! Authentic vegetarian Indian food! Will be back for more veggie food! Not spicy!

    Nice all vegeterian restaurant with Indian icecreams, sugarcane juices and many North Imdiam and Soitb Indian tiffins. They are selling savories and sweets as well.

    We unknowingly tried Annapurna a couple times and I should say the taste, portion per price and variety is perfect!! We tried the Paneer dosa and Cholay Puri both of which had such good taste, massive quantities a really good chutney! Highly recommend - flexible timings and good parkin

    Masala Dosa

    My dad had heard about all you can eat dosa at this restaurant, so we decided to try it out. It is indeed all you can eat; however, the dosa they bring out is lightly filled as in there is a ton of dosa and very little potato. In fact, my dad was so frustrated with it that he asked for more filling in a bowl for us to stuff our dosas. If you don't mind that then this is a pretty good deal. The place is very casual almost giving a cafeteria vibe which I don't prefer but for a quick cheap vegetarian meal with my dad sure I'd do it again.

    I was here by myself to grab some easy Indian staple food. I ordered a masala dosa and was surprised by the size of it. It was GiGANTIC. I took the challenge to finish it all and it had been a while since I ate dosa from a restaurant. So, savored the meal and enjoyed every bite. The sides were decent. We got hot sambar, and tomato chutney, coconut chutney. Both of the chutneys had a very North Indian flavor to it. It was a self service place with a lot of clean and nicely maintained seating. Definitely worth going back.

    No frills casual joint for Indian street food snacks. We ordered a bunch of stuff to share. Overall, everything was alright (for Chicago standards but defo don't compare to other cities or to India). Not the best Indian street snacks I've had, but decent and legit. The dahi puri was pretty good though! If you've never had Indian street snacks, worth checking out. Personally not the best judge since I'm not a big fan of them since I find them too starchy and Carb-heavy with the potatoes on bread combo for a lot of the dishes, but if that's your thing, then go for it.

    This is a great place for Indian Veg. Man, I can remember going to the Devon Avenue location from the 80's. Because of that, it is so cool to see their expansion. Annapurna does cafeteria style seating. You place your order up front and they'll bring your food to you. They have certainly expanded their menu throughout the years, all the while maintaining quality. They have good chats, good dosas, in my opinion, great thalis (platters with a little of many things) and ale carte vegetarian dishes that you can order in the form of whole or half. They have Rajma, bhindi, malai kofta, palak paneer, you name it. Lots of good snacks too in case you don't want to fill the belly to the max. There are plenty of desserts plus you can always take sweets to go. Service is fast and the place, at times, can be elbow to elbow, but I think thats because Annapurna is reliable in terms of food and service. It's been around since 1982 and is here to stay.

    It's reasonable restaurant; prices are little higher; masala rava dosa was Definitely good. Idli was not fresh . It's a quick stop by restaurant to grab something. don't expect super dining experience. It's more of a self service restaurant.

    Annapurna is one of my favorite places for fast food Indian food. I love their live pani Puri - they have a few different types of pani and it reminds me of eating pani Puri in india. The dosa, gujurati thali and papdi chaat are also really good. The service isn't the best especially on weekends and evenings when they are busy - that's the only reason I give them a lower rating. The food is delicious and I'll keep coming back!

    Tasty bites is a fast casual type of strip mall eatery…read more Solid vegetarian dosa option and their veg Indo Chinese slaps. They also bake a decent Indian veg pizza. Served individual. Worth a taste if pizza is on your mind but may not sway those wanting the traditional. My usual is a ghee dosa and gobi manchurian with gravy. They make their chutneys in-house and they are tasty. My singular largest gripe with dosa shops is the quality of chutneys and flavorings. If they don't get enough business the chutneys may go into the fridge or freezer. That's fine so long as they're watching how long it keeps in either storage. Also, when it comes time to use, they give it the time necessary to completely thaw. Discovering frozen chutney is a no-no and the flavor is different. Some dosa shops try newer flavors that just don't meet the expectations. These guys stick to what the fans know and they receive enough business that everything is fresh. Really wish this business was closer so that I could hit it more often but this area is quite a trek. **Specials are offered daily and on weekends /for games they run buffets. I wondered about the chefs they keep so I inquired. They have a trio?, anyway, trained chefs from different areas of India. This is important because dosa is mainly a staple of south India. Some other regional Indian restaurants try to offer it but fail at the production because their chefs don't know the finer details. They also offer newer styles of dosa variety. I am so stuck on the old school I haven't yet tried. Maybe you will?

We ordered the Pav Bhaji pizza, which is not the best. My husband said it tasted like burnt Pav Bhaji. I just thought it was overly dry and didn't taste like Pav Bhaji. We, also, ordered the Aloo Kulcha, which isn't bad for the price. The only issue i had was that it tasted like an Aloo Paratha. the Manchurian with Semi-Gravy was delicious!! These were the BEST manchurians I ever had. The gravy was super salty, so next time I would definitely get it without any gravy. The hakka noodles are soo tasty. The kaju masala was the best thing!! I still dream of the creaminess and full-flavored curry it has. I highly recommend anyone trying it.

The chutney was spicy and not bad. * Punjabi Samosa - it tasted like frozen samosas reheated. Did not taste fresh. * Aloo Paratha - It was ok but tastes like it was reheated from frozen. Lots of ghee. * Paneer Tikka Masala - It was sweet and had zero spicy flavor. First time having any tikka masala taste sweet. * Palak Paneer - It tasted like grass.
