" The food was good, but certainly not the best Indian food I've had. Some dishes just fell flat in terms of flavor. However, I believe they try hard, and the ambience makes it a nice place to hang out. The service was attentive but perhaps could be improved for timing. I wouldn't recommend the buffet but would consider ordering a la carte next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Annapoorna has a unique charm with a comfortable atmosphere that feels great for a casual dining experience. The selection of dishes on the buffet was nice, especially the chicken tikka and different vegetarian options. However, I found the flavors somewhat lighter than what I typically seek in Indian food. Service was friendly and attentive, making up for the slightly less intense flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Annapoorna was decent but didn't meet my expectations based on some of the reviews I’ve read. The biryani had great flavor in theory but lacked on the meat. The naan served was fresh though. The restaurant busy atmosphere made up for some minor service issues. I may give it another shot, hoping it would be better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Annapoorna was a mixed bag. The biryani I had was good, but there were moments when the flavors just didn’t hit the right notes. The service was friendly and efficient, which helped redeem my experience. The place is small, but it has a nice vibe. I think it could really shine with some consistency in the dishes. Still, I would consider coming back for the buffet. " (*Curated Review*)

" Each time I've visited Annapoorna, the experience has stayed consistent. The food is delightful and genuinely reflects the authenticity of Indian cuisine. I particularly love the combination of flavors in their thali. It's been a great place to take friends who are new to Indian food. My favorites are the paneer dishes and the biryani. Plus, their staff is always welcoming and attentive! " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a fan of South Indian cuisine, my expectations were high for Annapoorna, but I left with mixed feelings. The sambar was great, but the dosa was underwhelming. The service was friendly, but I think I will try other places for authentic South Indian dishes. It has a warm ambience though, which is a plus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came with friends for their famous buffet. I loved having so many options to choose from but felt some dishes were average in taste. The service was attentive, and it had a nice ambiance but I can’t overlook the quality of food. The desserts were nice, but I hoped for better curry varieties. Still, it’s a decent spot. " (*Curated Review*)
