Annapoorna Indian Cuisine

I am highly disappointed with the service from Annapoorna. I placed an order in the afternoon for an evening pickup, giving the restaurant plenty of time to prepare everything properly. Unfortunately, when I picked up my order, all five plates of samosas were completely uncooked. I never expected this kind of poor quality and service from this establishment, especially with so much advance notice.

my fellow pregnant mama and I were craving Indian food and were delighted to find Annapoorna super close by. and they have an amazing lunch special, all you can eat buffet for $17/pp! you rarely find deals like this these days! their buffet was STOCKED too, with salad and fresh fruit (watermelon), fresh crispy pakora and samosa, plain rice, biryani, tandoori chicken, all your sauces and raita, and at least 10 different curries including chicken tikka masala, goat curry, veggie korma, saag paneer, and so many more that I wish I could remember. they also have mango pudding and a delicious rice pudding and gulab jamun. they bring over baskets of fresh, hot garlicky naan that’s perfect crispy on the corners and soft and pillowing throughout, perfect for dragging through their delectable sauces. their curries were not too spicy (good for a pregnant palate!) but rich in flavor and full of delicious veggies and high quality meat. this was such a winner!! definitely adding this one to the regular roster.

Restaurant has a good variety of South Indian dishes and the ambiance was decent. Some items tasted good, but overall the food quality and consistency could be improved. Service was a bit slow during our visit and staff communication could be more attentive. A few menu items were unavailable, which was disappointing. With fresher food and better customer service, the experience could be much better.

We liked the food- it was tasty not overly spicy. Good variety for a buffet. Chicken tandoori was fresh and tender. Good deserts. Fresh salad. Being from iran i suggest flattening the edges of the fresh naans evenly so its more eatable. Ctr of the naan is crispy and thin but when it gets to the edges, overly thick and uneatable. Just few more seconds to roll the edge thiner will yield more even bread. Overall 5 stars ⭐️

My husband and I chose Annapoorna Indian Cuisine in Irvine for our Valentine’s Day dinner, and it turned out to be such a beautiful, intimate experience. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, which honestly made it even better for a date night. It felt cozy, clean, and incredibly comforting almost like being welcomed into someone’s home. The atmosphere was calm and intimate, perfect for actually enjoying conversation without feeling rushed. Now let’s talk about the food. Absolutely delicious. The butter chicken was the star of the night rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. I genuinely haven’t stopped thinking about it. We also ordered chicken masala (and possibly biryani we were too busy enjoying everything to keep track!), along with both garlic naan and regular naan. The naan was warm, soft, and perfect for soaking up that amazing butter chicken sauce. We also had the veggie samosas, which come with two pieces and two dipping sauces. They were so good that I honestly wish they gave more that’s how addictive they were. Crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and paired perfectly with the sauces. Portion sizes overall were generous. If I had one small note, i
