In a Gujarati home, nobody gets up from the table hungry. We run our dining hall the same way.

The family that runs Annapurna

A brass ladle pours yellow kadhi into a katori on a thali, next to a stack of rotli and steamed farsan. — 02Kadhi, poured at the table. It is thin, a little sweet, and never runs out.

A thali at Annapurna is not a plate you finish. It is a meal that keeps coming. You sit, a glass of chaas arrives, and then the servers start their rounds with brass pots of dal and kadhi, hot rotli and the day’s shaak.

The menu changes every day of the week. The price does not. Pure veg, with Jain food on request.
