    So I love Annapurna’s. It was my number one vegan place to go to.. however the one on fourth street definitely needs some help… food is alright. But the entire place is completely dirty and not kept up with… ants in the salt shakers food and sticky stuff on all of the tables… Don’t know how I continued to eat here honestly I should’ve gotten a refund. I can only imagine how the kitchen is… Definitely won’t be going back to this location however the one on Silver is way better. Makes me sad to write this but definitely needs work. Employees seem to care less about anyone walking through the door. Very weird vibe.

    I've only eaten at Annapurna's in Santa Fe once and had a pleasant experience, so I decided to try this location based on a recommendation, and I was greatly disappointed. Although I like the concept of Annapurna's, the quality of the food is poorly executed. The chef needs to taste the food before it goes out to customers. My brown rice was undercooked with lots of hard rice bits, and the Saag Paneer "special" was overly salted and just not very good at all. My chai was flavorful but lukewarm at best and cost how much??. For a $19 meal (not including tip), I definitely expected something delicious and nutritious but that was not the case. The bathroom is in desperate need of attention, and the overall feel the place is a bit run down. Perhaps this place was good once upon a time, but it has lost its luster. I suggest spending your money elsewhere.

    The best place to have Vegetarian, Yoga and Satvik Food at ABQ which supports food that is grown and ripened naturally, The restaurant has wide variety of different tasty Veg food. We're ordered the thali, Mediterranean Platter, Potato Fries, samosa and Lussi. The food is tasty. We have to talk more about the Thali which makes you feel lighter than ever. Felt really happy and confidence after having this food. Loved it.

    Our first time here. No help with menu whatsoever. Ended up getting a simple thing - a vegi roll. Extremely blant, lack of flavor, black avocado inside. Drinks price is not mentioned anywhere and it's about 5-7$. Absolutely frustrating, due to the previous comments about the tips, I definitely give this place 1* for this issue too. Won't be coming back, even don't feel like giving a second chance to that establishment.

    Highly recommend stopping here to eat. We had breakfast and dinner at Annapurna's and would probably eat here 3 meals a day. It's delicious. Vegan, gf, and nut free options available. Menu changes for seasonal veggies

    Visited Albuquerque, NM mid March with hopes of enjoying missed foods we’d had there for 30+ years. Annapurna on 4th was one of them. A staple Indian restaurant with several locations, we looked forward to the medicinal qualities as well as the vegan flavors we craved. Always delightful ambiance with brightly colored walls, copious live plants and comfy seating, we met family and each ordered our favorites. The wrap was tasty with tons of fries as was the “NM style” Indian fusion plate. However the Thali plate and Indian sampler were bland both in appearance and taste. Disappointing. Hot Chai on a cold day was the best part. Service was very good. But we were sad to see what happened to not only Annapurna, but also to other favorite establishments that suffered due to pandemic fears. I will go again because I love their concept in hopes the reestablish their place as a great restaurant.

    Amazing food. I tasted everybody else's dish and everything was extremely tasty.

  • 5/5 Susan T. 5 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    Fantastic vegetarian and vegan cuisine! I had the portobello mushroom burger, the basil pesto added a bright, tangy to die for flavor. The bun had more of a biscuit like consistency and complemented the toppings! My daughter had a pizza with mushrooms and olives, absolutely delicious… Everything we ate was tasty and we will definitely be back! So glad this location is re-opened and cannot wait to visit again!

    One of the most delicious vegetarian and vegan restaurants I've ever been to! The lemon ginger drink was particularly good. Staff was friendly, and our we ate on the patio with our dog. Highly recommend.

    Incredible service and DELICIOUS food! I’m vegan and my family was traveling with our dog, so having a space to sit outside was lovely. The staff here really blew us away. They were so helpful and SO kind!

    My friend and I were traveling through Albuquerque and we're delighted to find this vegan restaurant. We had the falafel wrap and beet soup. It was delicious and the wrap was a generous portion. The hostess was very friendly and made helpful explanations of the menu. We had intended to order and take it To- go but the restaurant was relatively quiet so we dined in. Highly recommend.

    Wasted 30 minutes out of my drive to come here but these slackers can not even update their hours. For anyone looking for Breakfast, this place is not open on Saturdays as the hours reflect and the are not open at 8am either. Sign on door says 9am-4pm Please update your hours and stop wasting people’s time.

    Vegetarian and Vegan Indian cuisine in a laid back, cozy environment. The tomato based dishes and house made paneer were flavorful and delicious, though we found the saag paneer to be a bit watery and not strongly flavored. The seating arrangement - especially the areas with couches and soft chairs - made for a very comfortable dining experience.

    Wow what an expansive menu! This place is great. The food tastes wonderful and made me feel full and healthy 😊 I got the tofu scramble and it came with my choice of soup, bread, and veggie combo of the day.

    This vegan / vegetarian specialty restaurant was a deliteful stop. Food was delicious + the covered patio was cool and dog friendly. Everything we needed.

    I've eaten there many times in the past. Today I ordered one of the daily specials. It hardly had any vegetables and was so oily. In fact there was a half inch of oil in the bottom of the bowl. It was not good.

  • 4/5 Jaclyn M. 1 year ago on Google
    Sat in the restaurant for 45 minutes waiting for my to go order. Sad, should time your tickets better. Quoted me 15-20. The food was delicious, I guess that’s all that really matters!

  • 5/5 Gabrielle G. 1 year ago on Google
    The understated exterior contains a great vegetarian restaurant with a fairly varied menu and good execution. I had an eggplant wrap and my husband had the saag paneer. Both were delicious, with generous portions.

  • 2/5 A J. 2 years ago on Google
    A few items we tried were good but most items aren’t so great. The service isn’t good and the place looks like it needs some TLC (especially the bathroom). It appears as if the owner isn’t concerned with any of these issues since all Albuquerque locations have this same pattern I mentioned. Years ago the 4th street location was wonderful- the food was better quality and the people who served were kind.

    Ordered pick up and food cane out in Styrofoam not paper. A little skimpy on portions. Veggie items were not the ones listed on website. Good flavors. Will try again.
