I was very surprised with the food.It's not expensive and it's still very good.Probably the best south Indian restaurant in Los Angeles yet.It's a completely vegetarian restaurant.There is also Jain items available without onions and garlic.Must visit the place.

This modest eatery turned out to be just AMAZING! We have eaten at maybe hundreds of South Indian restaurants in and across India and abroad, and can honestly say this food was incredibly authentic. The Masala Dosa was perfect balance of chewy and crisp, with the potato masala (which we ordered to be served separately) was made with a touch of peas and carrots which elevated the dish to another level. The sambhar (which many so-called Indian restaurants screw up) was the perfect consistency with the right level of spice and tang. The Bhatura was astonishingly good in terms of portion size and the right level of chewiness and taste; its accompanying Chana tasted like we were in a good Udupi restaurant back in Mangalore. The Bisibelebhaat (savoury rice) was redolent with a touch of ghee which made the dish both homey and delicious. All in all, a genuine find in the world of South Indian food. Full disclosure: we did not have any North Indian food but we have no doubt they would rock that too :-)!

Heard many reviews about this restaurant. Ordered pav bhaji which was not upto my expectation. They had put bay leaves and star anise to pav bhaji?? Not at all happy with it.Dipped idli was okay. So the spring dosa! I would suggest to go for only south indian dishes. Price was descent.

Visited in Mid of Feb 2022. Currently they are asking for vaccination card.Test is very good for Idali, Dosa. Also u can try Pav bhaji,. And some Hakka nudels , fried rice etc.Good South Indian restaurant.

This is one of the nice spot of Indian food around Culver City . Below are few highlights1. Pudi Uttappama was one of the first of this kind (with pudi on uttapam) and best one2. Sambar was awesome3. Masala chai was too good4. Masala dosa was also goodI could have given 5 stars but the service was bit slowMake sure you don’t trust the google map as it drive you to backside of restaurant, there it’s not safe to park.While driving on main road just keep eye on restaurant name on your right side.

Great place to get south Indian breakfast dishes.All the items we tried were really good. Well seasoned freshly prepared. The wait time was less, everything was given quick, the waiters were well courteous. Will recommend this place to get good south Indian food.

Great place for vegetarian food. Tried many varieties of food. Idli,mysore masala dosa, uthappam and sambar vada (Everything were served when hot). Perugu vada was okayish. Ordered hakka noodles which I didn't like the flavor and there was no salt. The owner was very generous and didn't add it in the bill. He offered me extra sambar to take home. The people here are very nice and I enjoyed the food. Best place to eat Indian food around ?

So glad to have found a good dosa place in the west LA area! I was missing some of the South Indian places in Sunnyvale/South Bay Area, until I found Annapurna.The Dosa here is amazing. Some of the best I've had in a while. The shell is always the perfect level of crispy + soft, and the batter is yummy. Depending on the version you get, the stuffing can be good too (their default masala is good).Also tried their chai and was impressed - they use a good amount of cardamom, which is what makes a yummy chai in my opinion.Service can be slow if you go in during busy hours. But the folks are friendly and nice.Definitely recommend.

Coffee was good but it was very sweet . You should serve coffee without adding sugar and sugar should be given separately
