"This was my second time dining here with my friend. Upon a bad first experience (our food was incredibly salty and the customer service was poor), we decided to try them out a second time, as inexpensive Indian restaurants are few and far between. Immediately after we sat down, we noticed a difference between how the servers treated my friend and me. I am African American and my friend is white-passing. They continuously placed all of the dishes on her side of the table. I can’t even comment on their customer service, as it was practically non-existent. After my friend paid the bill, we left and went our separate ways. I was almost two blocks away from the restaurant and in another establishment, when I saw a man waving at me through the window. It was an employee from the restaurant. He accused me of not paying, however, as I mentioned, I wasn’t even the one who had paid for our lunch. Furthermore, my friend was given a receipt after they presumably charged her card. I told him that my friend had already left, however, he made it clear to me that he was not going to leave. I came back to the restaurant and paid for my meal. My friend checked her bank account and the server did not charge her card, however, to track me down and insinuate that I had intentionally left without paying, is absolutely unacceptable. The bill was $38 in total. Please spare yourselves the trouble and dine somewhere else. I recommend New Dehli Palace, across the street."

Ordered for pick up, portions were good and service was quick however flavor was not there! The tikka masala had a layer of oil on top and was kind of bland. No spice at all. Naan was pretty good. I’ve had far better Indian food.

This is the best spot for South Indian cuisine; the food is absolutely delicious! It's definitely a place where you can relax and savor your meal. The service is quick and efficient, thanks to Muthu, who is very friendly and welcoming.

This restaurant is fantastic! If you're looking for Indian food and want to enjoy a meal with a friend, this is the perfect spot. The flavors are incredible, the portions are generous, and the prices are quite affordable. The food is consistently delicious, and I love dining here every time. Be sure to try a dosa as your appetizer!
Emanuel
Excellent taste and reasonably priced. Tried both veg and non vegetarian items and surprisingly they all super tasty. Best vegetable dum biryani we ever had in USA. You better hang on tight to your chefs I wish the seating and waiting staff is more welcoming and talk to customers what we wanted rather than we have to call them all the time. View menu

Last night on Saturday I had my worst experience , might be due to the new management. Completely dissatisfied with the service…wait time is more than usual. They are understaffed and I liked the old service better. They used to be quick and the staff were very warm welcoming. I come here frequently with my family and I don’t think I want to anymore.
Dadi
The food is great, it takes some time depending on what you order, so ready for a bit to wait. The Gobi 65 is really beautiful and crispy and, in my opinion, superior to the chicken 65. You have the best Biryani I had in California. The Dosa is also good, but is not special. They have some more unique curries on their menu that are great and I recommend.
Dadi
Wow, the food was fantastic! I’m not usually a big fan of Indian cuisine and don’t eat it often, so I’m not the best person to judge. However, I can confidently say it was probably the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Plus, it was really affordable! Be sure to order one of the cans and try the Uthappams! Highly recommended—you’ll likely have leftovers, too! View menu

Seems like they are under new management. Food taste have been changed. Annapurna used to be my favorite place, I always go there with my whole family twice or thrice in a month. But yesterday I didn’t like the food at all. All the dosa that we ordered were so greasy, like they put ghee into it. Naan and uttapam were so chewy. Their lassi tastes like mango juice. They are using cracked crockeries. I don’t think I will come again here.

My friend ordered and brought mutton biryani on Sunday. 10/09/2022. It costed me 20 dollars and 89 cents after tax. Taste is good. It's not spicy. Staff are good. It's a take ot order. It's worthy for taste. They have wide non veg options. I am really became fond of restaurant due to its taste. Biryani is simply delicious. Mutton pieces are soft,delicious and tasty. It taste like the mutton which people use to make on the eve of Ramadan. It's really appreciable. They have the best cook. I really fan of your food sir. You are great Hats off.
