Annapoorna Authentic Indian Cuisine in Milpitas

I ordered veg grilled cheese sandwich from them via doordash and found a big lead pin in the sandwich. See photos. I thank god as i was about to give the sandwich to my kid. Please be very careful. I lost trust in them and from now on no more orders from them.

The best indian food in town. We ordered almost the whole menu. We were visiting from boston a group of 6 and loaded our tummys till our throats. Their basundi, Kohlapuri misal, kothambir vadi and Sabudana Vada is a must try.

Delicious food that reminds you of Mumbai. Wait times to be seated inside are not too long. My only concern was that the server forgot our order two times and came to ask us at the table about what we had ordered.

One of the best places to have Indian food in San Jose, Milpitas area.All the snack items are on point and very tasty.We tried:Dahi puriKachori chaatVada paoAloo tikki chaatMisal kolhapuriPaneer FrankieKokumEverything was amazing.I would say kachori chaat was a bit meh!But apart from that we loved everything.

We went as a table of 8 and ordered the following items:-Kothimbir Vadi: The outside was breaded in rava(?) or something else to give a crispy cutlet style taste-Sabudana Vadi-IndoChinese Bhel: Could have been better.-Misal Pav: Have had better elsewhere. They did not toast the pav or slice it. Just gave two pull apart bread (pav). This was one of the better items here.-Paneer frankie: Tasted like paneer tikka, but not in a good way.-Manchurian frankie + Cheese: This was one of the better items here.-Sev puri sandwich: Loved the crunch of the sev puri + the taste of a sandwich. Imho the best of what we ate.-Bombay Sandwich: Average.-Sugarcane Juice: Don’t waste your money.The food on the menu was predominantly Indian street food and perfect for a light snack/dinner.The best items were the Misal Pav, Sev Puri Sandwich, Manchurian Frankie and the kothimbir vadi.Service:They have ample benches and outdoor tables to sit at. Outdoor dining is self-serve and they only provide takeout containers and plastic/cardboard plates and not what you would expect in a typical restaurant. This made it less ideal to share bite sized snacks with others.Would not recommend the “fresh sugarcane juice”, it tasted like hajmola pani and was barely sweet.They take a long time to prepare food on crowded days - I overheard a person saying they waited for an hour. Even we waited for more than 40 mins.Overall, a good place to satisfy your Indian chaat cravings.

We have been to the restaurant a few times now and love going there. Our favs are the frankies, bhareli vaangi, sabudana vada, and their kokum sharbat. Such good authentic food!...Also, we decided to cater from there for a party, and was such a hit! Our guests loved their bombay veg and manuchrian frankies, and daal tadka. It took away the stress from us from having to cook for a crowd.Highly recommend to try this place

Loved the Purampoli! This is certainly a go-to for all authentic Mumbai style fast food. Everything is online including the payment. Restaurant is of medium capacity, however the wait time is not bad.

Annapoorna is a well lit restaurant with good ambience. They offer good variety and tasty, flavorful items on their menu.We tried these items as a group:- Sabudana Vada: It was decent. The yogurt side offered with it was very good.- Kothimbir Vadi: Looked like a cutlet, but it was pretty tasty. Went well with the green chutney offered on the side.- Manchurian Frankie: Super tasty. Loved the flavor. We asked for extra cheese on it, and loved how the cheese blended well with the Frankie.- Bombay Paneer Frankie: It was kinda average, to be honest. There was a to of curry in the Frankie (which is great by the way!), but the paneer gravy inside the Frankie was tangy and had a tikka masala style taste.- Indo Chinese Bhel: Probably the worst item we ordered. It was sweet. None of us liked this item.- Chilli Chese Toast: It was decent, but seriously -- where was the Chilli in the sandwich? :) We had requested for some chili sauce since we expected it to be spicy and found it to be too sweet, but they mentioned they dont offer anything extra on the side.- Sev Poori Sandwich: Super tasty. The crispiness of the poori inside the sandwich was an interesting blend. Totally loved it!Service:They could really improve here. We ordered around 9 pm and it took ~40-50 minutes for us to get the order. They could really improve here.

This is a Mumbai style street food and meals restaurant. Plenty of outdoor seating and parking. There is no indoor seating. If its a nice sunny day and you want some vegetarian street side Mumbai food with a group of friends this is a good option. You can even come at 3 pm onwards at a time when most restaurants are closed after lunch hours. I have only been here once and I ordered a Mumbai classic pav Bhaji. The pav comes toasted with butter. You can ask for pav with cheese also. The recipe is authentic. The Bhaji is not overloaded with tomatoes. Some restaurants even use canned tomatoes which upsets me a lot. The tomato dominates the flavor and then you cannot taste the masala and other veggies. But here they have the balance spices and flavors very well done. The masala is good also with nice tangy and butter flavor. It is creamy and buttery also. The pav comes hot. I have tried only one dish and a basic one. The dish was done well and it has definitely created a curiosity to come try more. I will definitely come back to try more Mumbai classics and I am also going to try their thalis. One more thing they are also open for breakfast which I need to try also items like paratha. The restaurant is purely vegetarian. I am a non veg. But the food is tasty and has a very good variety of items to fill up anybody. I can tell they use fresh ingredients and try to prepare authentic recipes. I appreciate that about restaurants that try to stick to the roots and make good simple dishes with good quality ingredients. I have no complaints at all. I would rate this place 4.5. part 2: I went back three more times and tried a few more dishes. Every single one was well made. Authentic recipes with fresh ingredients. Keep it up guys! Part 3: tried two more items consistently good. I increased the rating to 5.0! Awesome job. Came and tried the falooda ice cream and ala cart menu . The ice cream was creamy and rich. Daal and egg plant masala was amazing. Authentic Bombay home cooking.

If you are looking for authentic Maharastrian food, Look no further! Annapoorna brought back my old Pune memories! Had mind blowing misal pav, vada pav, and puran poli! Highly recommend this place
