Review Annapurna’s World Vegetarian Cafe - Albuquerque

Ok....long review here.....Looking for a vegan or vegetarian place we choose this location at Annapurna World Vegetarian Cafe on Yale/Silver for the variety of choices. Knowing the Balloon Fiesta was in town, a little surprised they were understaffed. Orders were not completed, was missing our coffee & cappuccino. They did end up bringing it to us though. I ordered the portabella mushroom burger with masala fries and garlic dipping sauce. My mates ordered breakfast burrito (with an extra 😮 surprise?) & ABLT & ginger carrot soup (which was the soup of the day). Let's start with the mushroom burger. Did they decide 🤔 to use a Baby Bella instead of portabella? If you look at pics you can see how SMALL that portabella really is! I took 1st bite and the bread started to break into three parts, no mushroom. I held tightly to what was left of the buns falling apart and took 4 more bites of nothing but bread and spinach. I literally ate half the burger BREAD before I got to the mushroom! Masala fries and garlic sauce nothing to write about, was fine. If the mushroom is THAT small they should've used TWO mushrooms! I KNOW they shrink, but for the price you pay you need a bigger mushroom and definitely a better bun! Ok now the breakfast burrito, was not bad, but a little underseasoned from a local NON-Vegetarian NM resident! Unfortunately, my mate must've 😕 bit the wrong way or had a surprise bite, but actually broke a filling off his tooth! So the price for his meal just quadrupled! And lastly, the ABLT was not only good portion for the price but for a vegetarian meal was not only good, but filling. Plus, having the soup was a bonus to the meal, it was just good.

Excellent vegan/vegetarian food! Wonderful vibe! Yogi bowl, vegan penne pasta, authentic chai (oat milk), cappuccino (oat milk) were perfect and extremely healthy. Thank you very much for the amazing food and service :)

A unique experience. The aesthetic interior, the murals, and the food have the soul of Indian flavors yet very different dishes on the menu. This is one of the very few innovative places I’ve ever seen. We got the South Indian sampler, thali, and the famous Kitchari. The food is humble, fresh, minimal, no salt(the only salt you taste is from the fresh veggies). The food shows how deep and rooted, essential, healthy Indian food is!

Try the masala Chai with Oatmilk. I loved my pad Thai! This place has a fabulous aesthetic that you must see and experience in person. Very friendly quick service too.

This place is our favorite to stop at on road trips. So delicious, so many vegan options, even a vegan mango lassi. My favorites here are the quinoa salad, cauliflower tacos, tofu veggie scramble, black orange mint tea, and pistachio cupcake! Service at this particular location is faster than others too, and very friendly!

We went for breakfast and had puri Baji with masala chai(vegan) . Food is awesome. Service by Olivia and ambience was amazing.

We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious healthy meal we had, and we’re grateful for the speedy and high quality service as well. The atmosphere was only slightly lacking due to a drastic difference in music from the theme of the restaurant… it would have been nice to listen to relaxing Indian-style music as opposed to pop. Overall, it was a good experience and we may go back someday if we’re ever in town again.

Delicious food, generous portions, very clean ingredients. I was spoiled for choice, even though I have a pretty restricted diet. GF, vegan, sugar-free options abound.

We loved the food here. The atmosphere is really nice and the energy is very peaceful. There is artwork on the outside of the building that is really beautiful. All the food we ordered was fresh and made with care. It was pretty hot inside to be honest but they have a nice sitting area outside that was pleasant. The Ginger Lemon tea was quite refreshing. They use paper straws. It was a little pricey for me but worth it. Not an everyday go to but definitely would eat here again. 👍🏽👍🏽

Food was delicious had the thali and a massala dosa to go. Absolutely delicious lots of food per serving.

Passed by this restaurant multiple times however, I am a carnivore and figured I would not enjoy the food they served. I was spending the afternoon with my friend, who is a vegetarian and decided to try this restaurant. I honestly did not know what to order and she had never been here either, but as we looked at the menu and read the descriptions we decided what the heck let's just try a few things and we will share everything so we can taste the different dishes. I ordered the Samosa & the falafel wrapped in Dosa w/Masala fries. These dishes were accompanied with the following sauces: Chipotle, cilantro lime and date chutney. She ordered the South Indian Sampler w/ coconut chutney and a bowl of Dal. Why it was brought to the table it look really good, and I'd have to say that after trying everything, we really enjoyed our meals. Everything was so good and I didn't miss my meat. Of course I won't give my meat up, but I'd have to say that I would eat here again. It was a nice change of pace. I would also recommend giving this place a try. Worker was very helpful with recommendations and great personality. The Masala fries w/ the Chipotle sauce were so good...give these a try. If you read my review, please hit the like button. Thank you and enjoy!

I love the feel of this restaurant. Spacious and the staff is friendly. My friend had the falafel wrap and loved it. I had the vegan lasagna and I was not too impressed. The chocolate cupcake was tasty but dry. The strawberry muffin was fresh and delicious. The samosas are big and VERY tasty. VERY healthy options.

Food is amazing and packed with flavors. I had the best Chai there.

This place was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious and made to perfection. I have literally no complaints what so ever. Oh and let me not forget the tea. Get the agave sweetener

Wow! So good. And we loved the dining area and the staff who helped us. Just driving through town, it's always wonderful to find good, fresh, vegan eats. It was delicious!

Such a homey place with a friendly vibe! The food tasted amazing, with accommodations for our specific dietary restrictions. Everyone we talked to was so kind, and it was overall a great experience. Please check them out if you’re ever in the area :)
