" I can't say enough good things about Annapurna Cuisine. I had high expectations due to the rave reviews, and luckily they delivered! The food was phenomenal, especially the idli and sambhar combo. You simply must try their dosas as well. They are crispy, flavorful, and very filling. The service was on point, and the waiter was fun and engaging. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I'm willing to make the trip whenever I'm in the mood for authentic South Indian flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ventured out to Annapurna Cuisine after seeing many good reviews and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype! The sambhar is the real deal – very flavorful with just the right kick. I sampled the bisibele bhaat and was thoroughly impressed. The only downside was that it was quite busy and I felt a bit rushed through my meal. But the overall experience was great, and I would definitely return to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for vegetarian Indian fare, Annapurna Cuisine is the spot! Their dosas are huge! I couldn't manage to finish mine. I also tried the vada, which was crispy and delightful. The service was quick, and our server was very accommodating. I loved how they mentioned spice levels up front, which was super helpful. The ambiance is lively but feels authentic and homey. I left there very satisfied and planning to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to spot in LA for South Indian dishes! The authenticity shines through every bite. The specialty here is the masala dosa, which I can never get enough of. I also love the chutneys that come with it – each one has a unique taste and adds great flavor to the meal. The ambiance is vibrant, and I feel at home every time I walk in. The service is usually good, but there are a few times it can be slow when they are overbooked. Overall, highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a family dinner at Annapurna Cuisine last weekend, and the experience was fantastic! My kids loved the big dosas and said they were the best they've ever had. I appreciated that they had a variety of vegetarian options on the menu. The chutneys that accompanied our food were fresh and delicious. The service was friendly, although we did wait a bit to get our drinks. The ambience was casual but very welcoming. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic South Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the worst place, but I expected better based on reviews. The food was fine; the portions were good but the flavors weren't all there. The service staff seemed nice enough, but approximately 20 minutes went by between ordering and receiving our food. I think the establishment is legendary in some circles, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. It's a decent option, but I might try elsewhere next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pretty good experience at Annapurna Cuisine. Everything we ordered was decent. I believe I went in with higher expectations for the authenticity based on what I heard. The service was okay – friendly staff but a bit slow at times. However, I will give them credit; the food was still enjoyable and made for a pleasant dinner. I’d say it’s worth trying, especially if you have an appreciation for vegetarian Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)
