Best WLM Reviews

Not bad, definitely above average, but I’m not rushing back. The best thing I got was the bread that came with the Channa Masala. It was super light, buttery, kind of sweet and the bottom was crispy which provided it a great bit of texture. The Masala itself was good but it tasted exactly like the Hyderabad Baingan ka Bartha. I will say, both dishes were packed with flavor, it just happened to be the same one.
The dosa is impressively large, but is a useless vessel for the dips it comes with. 80% of it is too thin and crispy, think the burnt end of a pancake, to actually carry or complement the dips. It is fun to eat through because it is so large and the bottom is a bit thicker so it can pick up some sauce, but other than that, it’s unremarkable.
The Gualb Jamun for dessert tasted like a soggy donut hole. It was fine but I would it order it again.
While Annapurna Cuisine is serving up very authentic Indian food, it isn’t close tot he best I’ve had.
The food was very simple/saadvik and tasty. The Gobi Manchurian felt a bit raw, could’ve been cooked better. Veg biriyani and fried rice were really good. Paneer butter masala was also good (not in pic). The staff were very friendly and served well.
If you are looking for Authentic South Indian food in CA then this is it. Veg biryani I won’t say it’s authentic but good biryani. The only thing need to fix is washroom a complete mess.
Food is pretty good. Specially I love the vada and gobi Manchurian here which are very crispy. Other dishes are good as well. Some of the staffs are not friendly atall, that’s why one less star.
As an Indian, I love this spot! Really good service, the people are nice and the food is great. Also pretty affordable! Highly recommend.
Really delicious and authentic South Indian food - the onion dosa, the sambhar idli and the pav bhaji are good, though my favourite dish is the bisibele bhaat, which was absolutely outstanding. Fast service and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
After exploring the major spots in LA, we decided to satisfy our hunger with dinner at Annapurna Cuisine, a pure vegetarian restaurant. Here’s a detailed review of our dining experience:
#### Parking and Ambience
One of the best parts about Annapurna Cuisine is the free parking available on a first-come, first-served basis. The restaurant has a typical, authentic Indian vegetarian restaurant vibe. With both booth and normal seating areas, the place was bustling when we arrived, indicating its popularity.
#### Our Order
We ordered a variety of dishes: Hot Chilli Bhaji, Veg Hakka Noodles, Medhu Vada, and Rasmalai.
- **Hot Chilli Bhaji**: Surprisingly, the bhaji wasn't too spicy, making it a great option for everyone to try.
- **Veg Hakka Noodles**: This dish stole the show. The noodles were exceptionally delicious, enough for two people, and we devoured them quickly.
- **Medhu Vada**: If you are a fan of dosas, you should definitely try them here—they are huge and flavorful. Be sure to ask for your preferred spice level.
- **Rasmalai**: The dessert was a perfect end to our meal, satisfying our sweet cravings.
#### Service and Overall Experience
The service was prompt, and all the items came out well-prepared. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the variety of options available.
#### Conclusion
For pure vegetarians, Annapurna Cuisine is a must-visit. The dishes are tasty, and the overall dining experience is delightful. If we had another day in LA, we would definitely visit again to try more items from their extensive menu.
Vegetarian people should give it a shot for sure. You will love it!
INCREDIBLE food. Service was spectacular. And they had my favorite dish in the world : Gobi Manchurian. And for people that love doses they have like a 3 foot long dosa that they bring out. Awesome. I live right around the corner. I will be here probably every week.
