I recently visited this restaurant for their Saturday lunch buffet, and I was highly disappointed. It's evident that they hike up the prices for the weekend buffet compared to the weekdays, which seems unjustified given the quality of experience.Service - I see on one table water spilled from a kid and the girl working there first cleaned the floor with a dirty towel and cleaned the table with the same towel. This is disgusting. In general you can see their is a lack of cleanliness in this restaurant. Their is a disabled guy who is sitting in the corner is making loud comments stating the kid is eating so much and you will pay half the price. He also seems to be staring in customers plate like to make sure how much they are eating.Food - As for the food, it was a dismal affair. Both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian options lacked any discernible flavor and appeared to have been sitting out for days. After sampling a few items, I promptly decided to leave within mere minutes of arriving.Atmosphere- The ambiance of the restaurant only added to the disappointment. Playing loud and cheap dance music. The overall lack of cleanliness was glaringly obvious – from the dingy bathroom tucked away in a dark corner to the visibly dirty tables and cutlery. Adding insult to injury, they had the audacity to leave dirty towels next to patrons' plates and provide low-quality tissues on the tables, further highlighting their disregard for basic hygiene standards.Vegetarian options: PatheticKid-friendliness: Dirty, unhygienic

We ordered a ton of things: Masala Vada - Deep fried chana dal patties served with Chutney, Masala Dosa - Dosa stuffed with masala (potato, carrot, peas and onion), Vegetable Biryani - Dosa stuffed with masala (potato, carrot, peas and onion), Malai Kofta - Deep fried balls (koftas) made with potato and paneer are dunked in a creamy spiced velvety smooth curry, Gobi Manchurian - Cauliflower florets tossed in hot chilli and soy based manchurian sauce, Bisi Bele Bath - Rice, lentils, and vegetables cooked with special blend of spices, Onion Naan and Garlic Naan. Food was amazing and I would love to come here again!

Annapurna is one of my favorite ayce spots in Mira Mesa. Their store is located in the same plaza as target and the Vietnamese market. They have various time for their ayce buffet: Weekday Lunch Buffet: $12.99 (T, W, Th 11:30am-2:30pm) Vegetarian Tiffin Dinner Buffet: (Th 6-9pm) Weekend Lunch Buffet: $19.99 (Sat-Sun 12pm-3pm) This mom and pop shop serves delicious Indian cuisine with a variety of options for the buffet. My personal favorites are kheer, aloo gobi, goat curry, and chicken dum biryani. It is definitely worth checking out. Great quality for the price!

I went with my family for Sunday buffet. Food was good but we have to wait for 30 min to get the food refilled, not sure if they want to delay refills and customer has to go with other available options or loose appetite.

Curd rice in the buffet is a must try, Delicious and creamy. Idli and chutney were also super tasty. Tandoori chicken can be improved by making it more soft and spicy. The halwa was so good!

Small hole in the wall Indian restaurant with Indian flare. There are TVs playing Indian music videos. The restaurant is super causal and homey. We went on a Wednesday for Lunch buffet around 12:45pm. We were sat immediately. Lunch buffet included naan, a small salad bar selection, 2 types of rice, a wide variety of popular Indian dishes (I'm terrible with the names), and 2 desserts (a cookie and a citrus pudding/cake). The popular dishes were very flavorful! I enjoyed the sweet cheese and the lentil curry.

Good restaurant for South Indian food, I have been going there for more than a decade and consistency and food quality always remained same. They have same employees for very long time, serving more than a decade means a lot, I also know someone who goes there every day because the food quality is good. Me and my friend we used to go often since very long time. They kept up with the ambiance. Recently we tried their Thursday tiffin's dinner buffet, and it was good. Lots of different varieties of dosa's they have on the menu. The price they have lots of different varieties.

Second visit since we liked the Chicken Biryani the last time we ordered, only this time we asked for mild as we have a Caucasian son-in-law and same with Palak-Paneer,both were delicious and didn't lose the flavor with milder spiciness ! Totally recommend, good value for the cost.

I’ve been on the search for an Indian buffet ever since their mass closures during the lockdowns, and was most pleased that Annapurna has ventured back into this realm. The food was excellent, though less spicy than some others, though I’m sure this was to appeal to the tastes of the broadest base. Ragu, the proprietor is an extremely gracious host and remembered our names and tastes only the second time my wife and I dined there. Please give this place a checkout. It is certainly my wife and my new post Sunday Mass tradition!
