    Buffet
    Eric N.

    The best Indian food in Santa Fe and an awesome lunch spot. They offer a great buffet everyday at a very good price (under $20) with different dishes throughout the week. The staff and service are amazing. It's a quaint and quiet spot one block from the busy square.

    ...if I lived closer to Santa Fe I would be a regular here. The lunch buffet was incredible, especially the butter chicken - flavors of all dishes were perfect. Didn't even have enough room to try everything. I felt bad since I've never gotten naan for a buffet, wasn't expecting it and couldn't finish it but it was so fresh and awesome too. Rice pudding was a nice dessert, they also had a mango pudding I think? But anyways, well worth a visit!

    Good food. Courteous staff Extremely affordable lunch Only blemish is parking but that would be for all surrounding restaurants in downtown Santa Fe

    India food in Santa Fe? Why Not! Nice romantic dinner where Wife and I ate a bit of everything and give it big thumbs up.

    Crispy opener with flavorful sauces--the green has a cilantro, garlic spiciness to it and the other is a onion and tamarind sweet sauce.

Simple New Mexican ambience within a cozy home setting. Ordered the Bagara Baingan, Dal Tadka, and Wheat Roti - savored all three for their complex tastes, after a week of eating bland hippie food at a retreat! My local friends told me that this place is as authentic as it gets for North Indian food and they weren't wrong!

    A Love Letter Written in Disappearing Ink There is a…read moreparticular kind of optimism that drives a person into an Indian restaurant on a Saturday evening in Santa Fe -- a city that, bless its adobe heart, does not exactly overflow with subcontinental options. You settle in with the quiet confidence of someone who once spent a month in Mumbai and now believes they understand spice. You are ready. Reader, I was not prepared. Let us begin, as all great tragedies do, with the Vegetable Pakora. The pakora arrived looking less like the airy, craggily fried vegetables one typically encounters and more like someone had convened a committee about pakora and emerged with a dense, dough-forward compromise. Imagine if a samosa and a falafel had a child, and that child had structural anxiety. The texture was fine. The flavor was onion. The vibe was: lunch. The portion count deepened the intrigue. They arrive in orders of three. Three. Not four, which would split evenly at a table of four. Not two, which would behave like an appetizer. Three -- as if the kitchen is conducting a long-running study in social friction. We ordered two plates and found ourselves staring down six substantial dough spheres before the meal had begun. We had ordered snacks and received a commitment. Then -- plot twist -- Paddy's Chicken Tikka Masala arrived and redeemed roughly forty percent of the evening. This dish is excellent. Genuinely. Charred white meat, not the rubbery pallid cubes that haunt lesser tikka masalas, sitting in a tomato sauce that is smooth, tangy, and wrapped in cream with the casual confidence of someone who has always known they were beautiful. The spice balance is impeccable: heat that suggests rather than insists, sweetness that arrives and then politely exits, a buttery richness that begs to be eaten with naan. Which, tragically, we will get to. The Lamb Vindaloo, ordered hot, was the moment the evening reconsidered its direction. Vindaloo should feel like drama. Goa via Portugal. Fire and vinegar and slow-cooked depth and bright spice. It should leave your lips gently smoldering and your palate alert and grateful. You should need a quiet minute afterward. This vindaloo asked nothing of me. The heat was theoretical. The sauce was what I would charitably describe as present. And the lamb -- I say this with full respect for the animal -- was tough. Not rustic. Not hearty. Tough. I worked for that lamb. The lamb did not want to be eaten. The Gobhi Aloo arrived as a meditation on texture and its quiet disappearance. The pleasure of this dish is contrast: cauliflower with toasted edges, potatoes with yielding interiors, both retaining their individual dignity. Here, both vegetables had transcended identity and achieved a unified softness I can only describe as philosophical. The spices were warm and pleasant but the texture had left the building. Then came the Paneer Makhani, which I did not receive. What arrived instead was Saag Paneer -- a dish I do not order, have never ordered, and specifically pointed to on the menu while saying the words not that one, this one, here, I am pointing. Three times. Nevertheless: spinach. My companions enjoyed it. I watched them the way one watches people board a train you were supposed to be on. And now, the naan. Good naan bends. It yields. It smells faintly of yogurt and smoke and the particular satisfaction of bread doing its job. It behaves like a partner. This naan resisted. It stretched before tearing in dry, fibrous protest. When folded, it cracked. When chewed, it demanded effort -- not the pleasant effort of good bread, but the jaw-working persistence of something baked earlier that had since made peace with its circumstances. When deployed to scoop curry -- its entire reason for existing -- it snapped and leaked like a bread-based betrayal. I wanted to soak up that transcendent tikka masala and instead found myself doing structural engineering. The rice was fine. The rice showed up, did its job, and asked nothing of me. The rice deserves stability and health benefits. A few notes: every person must order an entrée or pay a six-dollar surcharge -- enforced at tables designed for two people with no dishes and excellent posture. Four of us were pressed against the wall with neighbors close enough to critique our naan in real time. Gratuity appears at the server's discretion. Ours was so swamped as to be theoretical -- food arrived via supporting cast, the paneer went uncorrected, and most critically, I could not order another beer while I still wanted one. Reservations strongly advised. The verdict: The tikka masala alone may justify the trip. Everything else is a negotiation. One star for Paddy's Chicken Tikka Masala, which deserves better company. One star for the rice, which showed up and never complained. Filed from Santa Fe, with a beer I eventually obtained at home.

For years, their samosas were some of the best: perfectly seasoned potato filling in a lightly friend pocket alongside some date chutney sauce. On their updated menu, samosas were listed as 25%, so I went for 2 thinking the portions were as they had been for the last 15 years. Sadly, this was not so. They were more like tiny hot pockets, baked pizza dough, with a rather bland, flavorless filling. Alongside a #3 cup of veggie of the day and $16 later, I realized my journey with Annapurna had come to an end, and I would not be returning. Also, I noticed the oat milk being added to the $7 oat chai was Kirkland brand, which consists of: (filtered water, organic rolled oat flour), organic sunflower oil, calcium carbonate, organic natural flavors, sunflower lecithin, sea salt, vitamin A palmitate, ergocalciferol (vitamin D2), riboflavin (vitamin B2), and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) . Some listings also describe it as fortified and organic, with no added sugar noted in one review source. I'm not an Ayurvedic doctor, but these ingredients and the quality of the food have declined considerably over the last years, which is sad. Such are the times...
