Delicious and authentic Indian food…read more My friend and I were seated quickly and our order was taken. Food was brought as it was ready. They forgot to bring the paneer dish we ordered but once we asked about it, they made sure to get it to us quickly and with a new basket of warm naan. The mango lassi was amazing. I absolutely loved the paneer butter masala and garlic naan. I will be coming back for those. The dosa was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the veggie samosas had a nice crunch. Lots of families come here to eat. This is the type of restaurant I would feel comfortable dining at alone as the waiters are very attentive and kind.

This is a completely vegetarian restaurant…read more I came here to get their spinach masala dosa because I love my spinach masala dosa from my favorite South Indian restaurant near home and I REALLY wanted to try someone else's version. We soon found out that their dosas are not gluten free. This was a really big bummer. But...good to know for anyone who is gluten free. They do put wheat flour into their dosas. We changed our order to two vegetables dishes. We ordered Bhindi (okra) fry and Saag Aloo (creamy puréed spinach with potatoes. My husband ordered a chili garlic naan. Both dishes came with a hearty amount of basmati rice. While we waited for our food, I noticed the restaurant was full of Indian people and a sprinkling of other people (including me) which I think is always a good sign when I'm ordering Indian food. True to my observation...Annapurna did not disappoint. The saag aloo was perfectly spiced and flavored and I really enjoyed the meal. The Bhindi was also very good. My only complaint is that the leftovers for the Bhindi were rather sparse! So overall i think they did a good job. I was disappointed about the glutinous dosas -- i called to double check and my favorite dosa place back home does not have gluten in its dosas. So key is always ask and don't assume there's no gluten. Even though i couldn't have the dosa, i still really enjoyed my meal. I didn't dock any points for the lack of gluten free dosa batter because my food was still very good and I felt like i wasn't missing anything. The service was very good. I want to give a shout out to Rush who was our waiter and was very helpful throughout the night. Parking lot was full. We found side street parking fairly easy.

Typically, good Indian food in California has been dominated by the Bay Area, but I have to give a…read morespecial shoutout to Cali Tandoor for grabbing back some cred for SoCal. Walked in and saw four tables adjoined for a large Punjabi family on a Tuesday afternoon - unmistakable sign that this is going to be an authentic spot that HITS the spot. As soon as you sit down you're started off with crisp papadam and a couple of chutneys to snack on while you look at the menu. I ordered a mango lassi and it was insanely refreshing, uplifted by a flourish of rooh afza (rose syrup). The food was piping hot and bursting with flavour. The garlic naan was cooked to perfection and did not hold back on the garlic. Service was deliberate, friendly, and efficient. Could not ask for more. Do yourself a favour and sit your butt in the restaurant to eat. Indian food is always sullied by people getting lazy and ordering it through the apps. Much like your former dating life, it's way more enjoyable to experience in person.

I paused briefly to enjoy the tea while the kitchen busily prepared my meal. Staff were courteous and gracious. The kurma was full of mystical delights in a very smooth subtle sauce. Naan was fresh, with sesame seeds and just enough garlic to stand on its own; I however smothered it and it was devoured quickly dipped in small tastes of the Kurma. Crazy storefront on Venice Blvd but walk back to the dining room. The music and romantic videos playing on multiple screens completed the experience of warm south Asian hospitality. Can't wait for leftovers tomorrow and my next visit.

We ordered takeout and were pleasantly surprised by how cheap the order came out to be (thinking that Abhiruchi just got set up on the app and was offering discounts to entice potential customers). However, I was underwhelmed by the food. The butter chicken was delicious -- well seasoned and not *too* overwhelmingly buttery/creamy. Gobi manchurian was also superb, but the batter was a little heavy so the cauliflower didn't maintain it's crispiness when it arrived at my place. I was most excited for the gutti vankaya (eggplant curry), but it was bland. The garlic naan was limp and flavorless as well. Disappointing.

We ordered the Jackfruit Jalfrezi and the Daring "Butter chicken" with imitation meat. I normally am not a fan of imitation meat, but both dishes were overly. The jalfrezi had an incredible flavorful profile and I loved the tang of the gravy. The rice and garlic naan were good, but nothing memorable by themselves. My drink, the NA Indian detox was actually a smash hit. Service was friendly, but the bathrooms were surprisingly dirty/old. Maybe a byproduct of a busy day, but I definitely expect better for a restaurant at this price point (-1 star).

After 11 you have a bigger menu option as they continue the breakfast/brunch menu till 2 pm as well as dinner menu. We tried a lot of different things, benne dosa, Kerala fried chicken, Fig and walnut kofta, Masala naan and chai tiramisu. Everything was absolutely delicious! Sambhar was very authentic and the koftas were to die for! I have never had walnut and fig option but it worked so well. Our server Emilio was pleasant and efficient. The restaurant had a modern chic vibe.
