Some of the best veg breakfast in the area - Edit
The location has recently reopened. They seem to be still working out some kinks, but the food is fantastic. I have no doubt that after they are fully stocked and staffed, this location will be rocking!

Can’t go wrong with anything! - Edit
I think this place is amazing! I ordered the Green Plate which had a wonderful cabbage with orange peel, sesame and mushrooms. Accompanying that was a killer butternut squash soup and I ordered some black beans for extra protein. Of course I had to get one of their world-class deserts too—almond butter chocolate pie, yum!

Terrible - Edit
After 5 visits to this restaurant, my experience has been horrible. On my first visit, I ordered at the counter, and I was told it would take about 20 minutes to receive my food. After 35 minutes, the owner came over and asked me what I had ordered, only to discover that my food had not yet started being prepared. 45 minutes after I initially ordered, I finally got my food. Not a good start and Very unprofessional.
Read moreSame thing happened on my second visit, I was there for a takeout or waiting at least 35 to 40 minutes with people who came in behind me getting their food served to them first. Ridiculous!
My third visit, I decided to call ahead so that my order would be ready when I arrived. My order was ready, but I said "no spicy" flavors in my food. Once I got home with my order, was so spicy, I couldn't even eat it. I took my order back, only to have the staff say they could refund my money, but they can give me another dish. Poor customer service.
On my fourth visit, they took my order and said it would be about 20 minutes. After 35 minutes I noticed a box of food sitting on the counter and no one paying attention enough to check on whose order it was. I approached the counter and said, "Is that my order?" Of course, It was my order, just sitting there getting cold. The staffs confusion seemed to be a pattern.
Today, I placed another phone order to try and have things ready once I arrived. When I entered their store, to the left there's a sign that says "order here". To the right there is a sign that says "pick up to go orders". Rather than allow me to go to the pick-up counter for my order, they instead were taking walk in orders under both signs! So my order set on the counter getting cold while I waited for other people to order their food who had not called ahead. My question is, "Why have a sign for to-go orders if you're going to use that counter space for taking new orders? Very rude!! You should at least train your staff to know the difference between which sign says what, since you are the one who put up the signs?
I would like to continue to go to this restaurant, but there seems to be a pattern of unprofessionalism and staff confusion as to when orders are ready and which counter is for ordering or pick up.
Other restaurants I have visited in the Santa Fe area don't have this problem, and they seem to get the orders right with a high level of professionalism. I don't know what the problem is with this restaurant, but they always seem confused
Pros: Foods okay
Cons: Horrible service, Staff confused, Poorly trained staff

5⭐️ Casual Vegan Dining - Edit
Annapurna’s is organic, vegan friendly, and serves amazing food. The Lebanese Wrap is probably my fav thing on the menu 😁 I’ve never had a bad experience here and come fairly frequently! Annapurna’s never disappoints.

Annapurna's - Edit
My husband and I loved eating at Annapurna's and we visited them all over the city. The food is really delicious with a lot of vegan options and, as a yoga teacher, I appreciated the ayurvedic consciousness and approach to the meals. They felt very balanced and were filling and the desserts were amazing!

Plenty of Vegan Choices - Edit
Me and my partner went to Annapurna's last night after a long day of travelling. I was happy to see lots of vegan choices. My partner loves Indian so he was very happy to find this place. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and I resisted the temptation of trying the amazing looking pecan pie (trying to avoid too much sugar). I got the stir-fry and had to give some to my partner as it was a huge portion. Well recommended😄
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options available, Friendly atmosphere, Gluten-free options available
Cons: Could do with 'healthier' deserts

vegan is labeled - Edit
It is amazing to see all the vegan items at a glance rather then do the research on your own! Desserts are really good and there are many vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free foods on the menu. I had the Marsala dosa and Marsala fries tonight. I also had a desert bar of some sort. All vegan!!!
Read morePros: vegan , desserts , savory
Cons: pricy but that’s ok :), try to park where it is well lighted

oh well - Edit
I was in ABQ house hunting and was glad to see a vegetarian chain. I went to two of Annapurna’s locations, one for dinner and another for breakfast. Both times the food was tasty. The reason for the three stars came from the breakfast. I ordered the $10 coconut pancakes. While delicious, I don’t know how they expect these to be eaten as DRY as they are. Even with the small $2 side of maple syrup (charging extra for real syrup with pancakes) the pancake was so dry I had to follow each bite with water. Coming from Portland, these ABQ so called vegetarian restaurants would be well served to go there and do some vegan restaurant hopping to learn a thing or ten. Paradox:great pancakes served with coconut cream AND syrup, a brilliant mushroom based meatloaf, etc. Come on ABQ!

Great Option - Edit
I really enjoy all the Annapurna locations. They have a variety of Indian options, but you can get a great BLT here too (which they will happily wrap in a dosa for you). I'm not a fan of their samosas or their desserts, but I have enjoyed everything else I've tried. They have a wide variety of teas as well, if that's your thing. Pretty normal prices, casual atmosphere.

Great place - Edit
I've eaten here several time & it is great to have a good vegetarian restaurant in the north valley. I enjoy the food, though it can be a little inconsistent. Recently took out of town visitors to dinner, and while my kitchari was tasty & served quickly, it was 20 minutes later that my guests were served their food. One had ordered a quinoa salad without onions (due to an allergy) and the other ordered a quesadilla. What they finally received was a salad with onions and a cheese pizza. The counterman apologized & came back 10 minutes later with the quesadilla. In consideration of the error he also brought four free vegan cookies.

Very Satisfying Food, Many Gluten-Free Options - Edit
We ate at Annapurna's twice in June of this year, and found the food, much of which is gluten-free, to be very satisfying. I enjoyed the Utthapam, which is sort of like a small, gluten-free pizza. It can be ordered with or without cheese (I had mine without). The spicy Sambar soup was a perfect complement to the Utthapam. My partner and I both loved the desserts. On our first visit, we selected several of the ball-shaped pastries, which are made with dates and other dried fruits and are scrumptious, particularly the chocolate-dipped ones! The second time, I had the sweet potato pie, which I think was the best I have ever tasted!
Read moreThe service at Annapurna's was efficient, and we did not have to wait long for our food. The atmosphere was pleasant and calm. The restroom was extremely clean. Very nice restaurant.
Pros: Many vegan, gluten-free options, Sambar is excellent!, Pleasant atmosphere; very clean

Vegetarian Heaven - Edit
Annapurnas is 100% vegetarian and everything on the menu is first and foremost delicious and secondly, focused towards the Ayurvedic system of nutrition. You don't need to know your dosha to enjoy the delicious food though! There are numerous vegan and gluten free options as well. The daily soups are my favorite - along with the award winning vegan carrot cake and an amazing (large) selection of teas.
Read morePros: delicious food, high quality organic ingredints, peaceful friendly staff
Cons: hmmm..haven't found any yet

A Little Piece of Heaven! - Edit
Using Happy Cow, I searched for a vegan-friendly restaurant close to work. Annapurna's was the first on the list so I decided to give it a whirl. The food was DIVINE. I ordered a sampler and enjoyed every single bite (which was more than I could chew, so I have some leftovers for dinner!) I cooled off with a perfect chilled chai tea made with soy, and then chatted with the manager when I was near done my meal. The price is good, the food was perfection, and the girl behind the counter told me that almost anything can be made vegan. Does it really get any better than this? Absolutely yes, only because they have one location near my work and another near my home. This is going to be a weekly treat for me!
