This place was so good and definitely will be going back. While it wasn't very busy at the time (Went around 6:30pm)there were a lot to go orders. Staff were so nice and made sure we liked and had everything we needed. We (3 people) ordered Butter chicken and Palak paneer which came with rice. It was go delicious and wasn't heavy on cream like some places. Food was light and flavorful and still filled you up. More than enough for three people. The restaurant is beautiful and spacious. Beautiful chandelier in the middle of the room.

The food is immaculate! Comfort at its finest! Every time I order from here it is a hug in plastic little container cup. It soothes every part of my soul. I feel fed when I get my food and there is always enough for leftovers.When I was vegan, this place hit! When I was back on the meat it still hit! You just can’t go wrong with the take out here. I am a die hard Annapurna fan.

I've been a patron of Annapurna for 6 years and they are as great as ever!! The curries are in the $15 range generally, but usually come with rice so spending $17 for a higher-end dish like saffron chicken is easily enough for 2 meals (and is worth the splurge). Add some potent garlic naan, plus a strong cocktail from their menu or anything behind the full bar -- perfection. The wait staff are professional and attentive without hovering, nailed everyone's order in a party of 6. It's rarely busy inside, so seating and service are prompt. The interior is roomy and feels quite majestic, with some fantastic murals and a giant wooden chandelier, and high-backed chairs -- it feels like a proper palace feast ? And their delivery is always great too! Literally everything on the menu is great ?Wheelchair accessibility: There are double doors leading into the restaurant, and often a staff member will be near the door if you need help opening (not sure if equipped with a button opener). It's very spacious inside so easy to maneuver around. The bathroom is in sort of a nook though so a bit hard to get into.

Biryani was too bland and had generic flavors.

Was visiting for work. Ordered medium spicy lamb curry and shrimp korma. Favorite was the shrimp korma - fresh jumbo shrimp and very tasty. Lamb house curry was also excellent. Naan was soft and fresh. Excellent Indian Food. I noticed many locals were getting takeout. Great find!

Terrible chicken biryani. Heavy dense rice with chunks of raw red onions and nuts. The naan was excellent. Too pricey for the quality. Other dishes might be better but a big disappointment overall.

Went for lunch with co workers. They have loads of tables inside. Nice tall ceilings and windows. A little low on staff but they hustled. The chana masala was SO good..and the salmon tandoor. The onion naan was different from all others I've had -- they cook the onion into the dough rather than putting it on top and it was SO yummy. We also tried the coconut naan since we had never seen it before and were disappointed. Stick to the regulars!! Will come back for sure.

I went 10 years ago, and it had a few changes. Before it was a Nepalese food, it was of Indian cuisine. There's a little difference, but the sizes of the dishes are not as big as they were before.The food is delicious and amazing. My favorite is Chiken and Salmon tandoori. Inside is decorated with Indian culture pictures. I recommend having a garlic or herbal bread with your meal.Waitress told me some years ago that the owner sold the restaurant for becoming a Nepalese cuisene.Come to Annapurna. I am sure you enjoy your food time with friends.Vegetarian options: There's a menu for veggie options.

Love this place!Definitely my go to for palak paneer. The staff are always lovely and I really like supporting this business. I’ve tried a lot of Indian food in the Bay Area and rate this one very highly. If you’re wondering if it’s worth a visit, it is.
