Food of my life! I ordered from this place on a whim when I was hungry. Someone else in my area had ordered from here so it popped up as a free delivery option on Uber Eats. I ate everything without taking photos - that's how good the food was! Literally everything ordered was the best of it's kind. The vegetarian kofta is a MUST. The two kinds of curries I tried were creamy, delicious, and not overly spicy. I cannot say enough how impressed I was with everything made by this kitchen! The food arrived on time, fresh and delicious! Can't wait to order from them again!
Amazing food and great service. The menu has a great variety that you can't find at other Indian places. The non alcoholic drink was delicious. The only downside was the noise was a bit much for the space.
The place is a must visit for the Nepalese cuisine. It’s very close to Indian as well. The garlic naan bread was the best and very fresh. Good size portions for curry and naan bread is quite huge. The paneer chilli momo was very authentic. Tried their Wo achar- a lentil patty in yogurt sauce. It was very unique and delicious. The veg kofta curry was on a bit sweeter end since we chose medium spice level. I would give service a 100/100, very friendly and nice staff. Lot of vegetarian options. Parking is tricky.
Me and my partner dine at Annapurna frequently. The food is delicious and the customer service is exceptional. I usually get the Chicken Tikka Masala, but I’ve tried several items on their menu and it has all been a hit. Highly recommend!
This place smells like heaven. Every time I exit the light rail exit here, the aroma of garlic, chili, curry, and freshly baked naan would lift my appetite immediately. We came in on a Tuesday night and was seated immediately in the basement Yeti Bar. I'm not a fan of the dim lighting, makes it harder to read the menu as well as distinguish certain like-colored curries from another. Despite it being a basement, the air did not feel stuffy or warm for it being a mild summer night in July. Though I don't know how the basement would feel if it was on a night during the heatwave. They do have a dining area on the ground level a long with a small patio, though I believe the ground level closes earlier than the basement area. From the menu, we ordered chili momo (seasonal special), paneer naan, motuk soup, Khasi ko masu, and I believe the lamb Madras. For someone who had a decent spice tolerance (extra hot at Dave's hot chicken felt mild, struggled with the reaper level), the curries at hot felt great. I especially liked the chili momo's texture. The skin was much more structurally sound than a soup dumpling and the stuffing melted once inside the mouth. The paneer naan comes presliced into 8 pieces. I recommend tackling the naan earlier to avoid it getting cold, or eat it along with curries for best experience. There is no need to tip at this joint and they have a very helpful disclaimer when they send out the check stating that there is an automatic 15% service fee and customers do not need to tip. I would've preferred the service fee to be eliminated and just reflected in the menu price instead, though I still prefer restaurants that remove tips and offer workers a liveable wage.
This place deserves more than five stars. It is definitely of the best places for Nepalese food on the west coast, not just Seattle. We tried their chicken and veggie momos - both dishes were very well prepared with lots of flavor and served with three different dips. We also ordered the battered eggplant in coconut curry which was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend ordering this on the menu. As an FYI, if you plan to share this dish you might have to order extra rice because the potion size that comes with it is quite small.
I’ve been coming to Annapurna Cafe for about 9 years. I love the food. It’s truly delicious. I have to admit…. My husband orders everything we get. So, I don’t know what it’s all called. But, everything that arrived at the table is amazing. We always get medium spicy. The restaurant is down in a basement and is so cute. The plates, drinking vessel are all copper. It’s very charming. We highly recommend.
This is now my favorite restaurant in the world! I'm not exaggerating. It is so rare to go to a place and get fresh made, flavorful, spicy, but not too spicy food. The chicken momo and sauces are to die for. Not frozen and reheated. It's the genuine thing. The spinach momo goes with the sesame sauce so well. The Annapurna curry is just outstanding. It had just a enough heat, but the perfect bombardment of spices for flavor. And I had the chicken and it was perfection. The naan.... Is real. It seems obvious, but so many places just use cheap bread instead of naan. We got the garlic naan and it was just amazing. The staff was wonderful. I could sit and just breathe in this place for hours. I recommend this place so much. It is nothing much to look at outside, so don't be put off. Downstairs is the restaurant.
I went here after work and it was delicious. The service was great. They have a big menu with meat and vegetarian options. I had the chicken Masala and Garlic Naan which was fresh and yummy. We had the pork momo for an appetizer and they were the best part. So delicious and flavorful. I highly recommend coming in.
