Fantastic!

I came here after a long flight and ordered the sampler dish, cupcake, and a coffee. The food was so good and the staff were so nice! It was exactly what I needed after that trip.

Pros: Delicious vegan food, Vegan desserts, Nice staff

Delicious

I remember coming here in high school (10 years ago now) and being amazed that vegetarian food could be so good. Annapurna has kept true to my memories, with a changing menu of delicious world cuisine.

And I keep on coming here...

Not my first time in this amazing place. A menu with a fantastic variety and great dish of the day every day! Desserts are also super tasty. I highly recommend the battered mushrooms as an appetizer, the cardamon pancakes and the falafel wrap.
Everything is delicious!

Pros: Great food quality, Reasonable price, Variety in the menu

A must-stop spot

Since moving away from ABQ, we always make this a stop on our travels back. Food is always consistent and authentic, with a lot of NM twists.

The breakfast burrito is one of my favs!!

Pros: Most everything can be made vegan, Always consistent

South Indian sampler

Stopped here for a quick lunch in ABQ. The food was delicious, we shared a South Indian sampler and a pistachio cupcake. I love that the menu is Ayurvedic and notates the dosha for each dish.

Hit or miss

Good dosas and nice desserts. Unfortunately vegan options are a little scarcer than one would hope. Steer clear of any dubious fusion cuisine and stick with the classics.

It’s Pretty Good

Everything I ordered was pretty good, the cashier was super nice and helpful, and the tea was really nice! I liked everything about the experience. Only thing I have to add is that the wrap I ordered has a lot of rosemary. A LOT of rosemary. I was warned before I ordered it, but I still didn’t expect this amount of rosemary. Don’t order if you don’t REALLY love rosemary. The food was spicy (in the seasoned way not the hot way), and it was very flavorful!

Visiting My Third Location

Today I ordered the Vegan Dosa Enchiladas—killer! Plenty of food to fill me up on this long motorcycle ride of 900 miles. This is the halfway point, and I specifically added this to my trip itinerary.

Not worth it

The dessert were awful and the food wasn’t amazing. It was almost a waste of a meal. The restaurant atmosphere is hot and the service is slow. The staff were unprepared.

Good Food on the Fly

With few options to get vegan cuisine in ABQ, this joint continues to make it's mark. Been going here for many years traveling through. Menu changes for the better, music has more variety, staff provides good service overall. Street parking and off bus line location. Gluten free options available, solid on the chai. Take out quantity of food is on the low side, so best to order in and get a much bigger plate, if time is no factor. Other than this, highly recommend to patronize.

DELICIOUS.

I love Annapurna's. This place is soooo good and reasonably priced. Most of their desserts tend to be vegan too!

This place is 100% vegetarian but they have a ton of vegan options. It's easy to turn some menu items vegan as well.

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The portion sizes are big and you don't feel disgusting after finishing the whole thing. Nice and cozy atmosphere.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Not 100% vegan

Tasty varied menu

We really enjoyed the food here. We had a veggie burger, a masala dosa, and a lebanese wrap in a chapati, with sides of lentil soup and masala fries. Everything was very tasty. The dosa was different to the standard kind found in Indian restaurants but I found it delicious. There are so many options on the menu and each item comes with choices for sauces and dressings so it seemed complicated to order. But all was enjoyed. They have many vegan desserts to choose from also. We like the pecan pie but found the cupcakes to be a bit solid. The food has wonderful combinations of spices but it not 'hot' spicy which was great for us.

Pros: Lots of choice, Interesting dishes, Vegan desserts

Good flavors, nice atmosphere, all is extremely well marked for diet needs

Had the sampler, the only negative is the fried dish was really dry, otherwise great flavors and lots of sweets to choose from :)

Best travel stop

We love visiting this restaurant and were looking forward to eat organic ayuverdic vegan food while traveling through interstate hwy 40. We have visited the one in Santa Fe, NM but not the one in Albuquerque yet.

Meals were delicious and service was friendly and helpful. I chose the vegan sampler which includes sambhar, vada, coconut chutney, and mini dosa. Hubby chose the vegan thali. Delicious and satisfying!

I purchased desserts to go: pecan pie and coconut pie. Yummmm. We enjoyed them through out the rest of our journey.

We will definitely be back when or if we pass through Albuquerque again.

Thank you for the meals!

Pros: Tasty, Healthy and organic , Ayuverdic

A Kitchen Away from Home

I go here when I don't want to cook for myself, sometimes mutliple times a week. AP's has a great menu that is varied enough, but not crazy. The New Mexican/Indian/ sometimes-other-things fusion hits the right buttons--great healthy burritos smothered in chile, check, vegan pad thai for when you want that sweet and sour coconut milk, check, heaping bowl of rice and veggies when you want some warm nourishment, check.

I would say their pecan pie is worth trying, and their vegan chai, but the dessert options generally are its weakest link.

Go here. Come back. Make it regular. You'll enjoy.

Tasty, but not mind blowing. Decent prices and a huge menu in a cozy atmosphere. The masala dosa I had could have used a lot more spice and the dosa itself was a bit undercooked, but overall it was a filling and decent meal

Beautiful atmosphere

Great, funky atmosphere with a peace and colorful art vibe. Serves milk products. This might be the cleanest place Albuquerque has for offering. I myself was looking for more raw, fresh foods. Although most everything is cooked, it is smartly combined, is clearly made from scratch and delicious. Gluten-free options labeled. Relaxing, chill. Glad it’s here.

Pros: Atmosphere

My go-to!

Coming to Annapurna’s makes long days at UNM better! The food is tasty and there are lots of choices and price points so if you want something small or a full meal, it’s good. The soy chai tea is always good, too, and it comes with a free refill!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Nice, friendly ambience

Surprise this place is labeled as vegetarian but they actually have a lot of vegan options. The food was fresh and good. If you want something that isn’t labeled as vegan you can ask and they will make it vegan for you

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Vegan options a labeled , Can substitute to make a plate vegan

Love!

A lovely laid back restaurant, I appreciated the ayurvedic consciousness + approach to the meals. I had the ABLT wrap - the homemade wrap was delicious, + a soy milk chai - other plant based milks were available too. Highly recommended!

Pros: Cozy atmosphere, Friendly staff, Wide selection

Cons: Pay for parking
