karelan homecooking

by TastefulTammy at Citysearch

Indian restaurants are a dime a dozen throughout metropolitan USA, but Annapurna feels like home cooking no matter the region. Specializing in south indian Karelan speciality, this spot excels in the home cooked vibe. Dosas, veda, russam, somber are all perfectly executed unless you are used to food from further north in Tamil Nadu. Even then, you can savor the extra garlic and the uncommon beef dishes and realize that this is the best Indian/ Pakistani restaurant in SoCal ever!

Great place with mouth watering dosas, chole baturas

Love south indian food

by gchakrav at Citysearch

This place is authentic south indian food. As a Tamilian, I am particularly impressed with the flavor and consistency. At all times the staff was very polite and helpful. I frequently get takeouts and drive all the way to Agoura Hills. They even advised me about packing it.

I give this place 5 stars and kudos to the staff.

The worst restaurant I've even been to

by JungheeLim at Citysearch

This place is a joke.

I just came back from there.

I couldn't wait long for writing a review.

I had a lunch buffet.

Very few choices; terrible food; no meat at all, even chicken (its name was actually "pure vegetarian food")

If I had known about it, I would never have paid 14 dollars for that terrible food.

The worst thing about it was that **they were incredibly rude**.

Never waste your money, your taste, and your beautiful Sunday!!!
