Excellent ambiance and Service. Variety of food offered is exceptional though it may be a little difficult to eat it all in one sitting.

I have visited Annalakshmi many a times with my family. "Annam" in Sanskrit means, Food. in our country, food is considered to be God. "Annam Parah brahma", is the saying. That's why, wasting food is considered to be a big crime. ANNALAKSHMI, is the Goddess of Food. True to its name, in Annalakshmi, vegetarian dining is a real cultural experience.... More

Authentic taste at a great quality - thats what it takes me to Annalakshmi everytime. They have moved to a new building in Egmore. Check out their wesbite. They have Buffet as well. But pure vegetarian.

My friends took me to this restaurant on a full moon day. The restaurant had a special menu. It was out of this world good. Dish after dish was being served on the tali. I had a fresh mango juice I had been craving for a few days. I cannot wait to go again.

This is one restaurant which you must visit only when you have all the time in the world. No, it doesn't mean that the service is delayed ( on the contrary!!!).It's just that the ambience plays such a big part in the dining experience.I'm told that this restaurant belongs to a monastic order and that most of the waiters are...
