As a longtime local customer, I’ve been coming to this restaurant for many years. Unfortunately, over the past year I’ve noticed a consistent decline in both the quality and taste of the food. I almost always order the same dish, and the changes in flavor have been noticeable. While I’m not sure whether this is due to changes in ingredients or kitchen staff, a staple menu item should be consistent in taste.

Additionally, the recent price increases feel difficult to justify given the current quality, like $9.95 for a plate of papdi chaat seems steep. It’s disappointing to say, but I’m now inclined to explore other restaurants in the area offering the same cuisine

I wish I could give a negative review for the service. I arrived at 8:40pm., but the cashier was extremely rude and hurried, refusing to take my order and acting very unfriendly. I am a visitor who drove 40 minutes to get here. While I understand closing times, if the place stays open until 9pm., they should accept orders until 8:59pm—that’s standard for restaurants. This employee's poor service warrants her being fired.

I had heard a lot of good things about Anapoorna, so I went in with high expectations — especially since I’d been craving the dishes I’ve missed from India. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be a big disappointment. The food looked colorful and appealing at first, but the taste didn’t match the presentation at all. It wasn’t just bland; it had an unpleasant, distasteful flavor, almost as if it had been left in a cooler overnight and simply reheated before being served.
I ordered several items hoping to enjoy a variety of dishes, but I ended up regretting it. The entire meal was so off-putting that it left a sickly feeling in the back of my throat for the rest of the day. Overall, it was a horrible experience, especially after expecting so much more based on what I’d heard.
I truly wish the food had lived up to the reputation, but sadly, it fell far short of that.

“Food was not good compared to what they charge. Prices are high for the quality. Not worth the money.”

I tried Annapurna food for the first time because I heard the food is good and flavorful but this was my worst experience. I ordered masala dosa and khasta kachori chaat but it was horrible and bad quality. I m very disappointed. Please improve your quality and flavors again as it used to be.

Stopped by for a couple mango lassis. The girl working was not friendly- and it felt like the place was closed even though it was the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday.

Thought we would get fresh beverages but no, we were given drinks that had been sitting and were warm! Ended up tossing them out when we left.

The place was not clean! It desperately needed to have countertops and tables wiped off and sanitized, and the floor was another matter- even worse.
Can’t say I will return based on this impression.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service is extremely poor and the staff behave very rudely with customers. They don’t know how to talk properly or provide basic hospitality. On top of that, the food quality is not up to the mark and definitely not worth the money. I expected a pleasant dining experience, but instead, I left feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good service and quality food.

I just ordered a Pav Bhaji. They charged me $14 for it and look at the quantity they gave me. The box was very tiny as if they gave me a salad in a container and not pav bhaji. I mean if you are charging me this much amount then why the quantity wasn’t there. On top of that look at the tax what they are charging. There is not a single restaurant in the whole Illinois who charges you this kind of tax what Annapurna charged me. I have the pic attached of the receipt. They charged me a Takeout/phone 2.50% - $0.30 and also another charge was Credit Card Surcharge (3.00%) $0.37 and on top of that they charged me tax which was $1.34. I mean if you charging me with all this then atleast give me a better quantity first.
I would never give this place even 1 star rating if google allows me to but I have to select a star so I selected 1 star.

Every dosa they make is good, they just do not miss. I also appreciate the sugarless chai, as I limit my sugar intake. Friendly staff too :) best veg south indian food, i live all the way in bridgeport but I make the time to come here because it’s worth it for the delicious food.
