Yummy - Edit
Saw this on happycow and added it to our to-try list. The place is simple casual and colorful. Staff was friendly, and the food was good. Tried a vegan burger with side of fries plus a piece of pie. Yum.

Love this place! - Edit
I’m a new vegan, and this place was great for our short stay in Santa Fe. The baked goods were delicious, and we bought more for the rest of the week.

Bad service and bland food - Edit
I found the food to be very bland. Indian food should be at least a little spiced up in my opinion. But what makes me give only two stars is the service we received. Not only were there no smiles, but when I asked whether they had some kind of sauce to spice my food up, they were puzzled and came up with the idea to give me a little 4 on cup of chili sauce, adding that they would charge me $1.35 for it. I used 1/4 teaspoon of it. It was so silly. On the plus side, hubby had a pecan pie that was very good. Still, I can’t get over the charging for the chili sauce.

Do you think only the Indian food is bland, or other food too?? Because a lot of people have been saying the same thing as you...

Wonderful variety of vegan options for all three meals. Owner Prakash is present and hands-on, friendly and available. He teaches Ayurveda and offers classes and workshops for those who want to learn more. If you're just hungry and want a fabulous meal or two, this is your place! When in Santa Fe, this is my go-to place.

Pleased and Confused - Edit
The food was bomb no doubt about that! The portion sizes are huge! We got the Falafel Wrap, Masala Dosa, Fries, and a Samosa. All Amazing with flavorful ingredients, dips, and sauces. As a first timer I wasn't sure what to do when I came in because no one greets you and tells you where the menus are. The service was good. But leaves a bit to be desired.

sadly disappointed - Edit
I was really looking forward to this place, but our experience was a disappointment. Service was terrible and the food was mediocre. I appreciate what they are trying to do but seems like they still need to figure out how to run a restaurant. Girl who took our order was rude and got our order wrong. My food came out wrong (and lukewarm), and my partner's food didn't come out at all. I had to go up to the counter multiple times to try to get my partner's order, was first told it was coming out and then she said we didnt order anything else. Her and the cook then argued over it in front me. If the food had been good, then I could overlook this experience, but all over was disappointing.

delicious food and friendly staff - Edit
Amazing Asian and Mediterranean dishes. Most of the dishes are Indian, but there is some Greek and even Thai thrown in. Basically everything, including their delicious desserts, is vegan. The menu is intentionally crafted to appeal to different doshas in aruveyda medicine. I had the thaali plate and coconut cream cake (all vegan) and everything was delicious. You have to wait a bit longer for the food than most places but it was worth it.

So happy to find this place! - Edit
After 10 days of traveling through the desert wilderness, it was such a joyous relief to discover this cafe. I love kitcheri and vegan Indian food! For raw vegans they do have salads and fresh coconut water. They have ayurvedic teas, and the tulsi ginger was delicious! I had their vegetables of the day and a dosa. I was so happy!

Fast Casual Veggie Food - Edit
The sandwiches we got were very good, dessert a bit unimpressive (not bad just not great), except for the cranberry loaf. I liked that the menu had a decent variety. You can get Indian-type dishes to plain old burgers.
Read moreThey are located in a strip mall and you order at the counter and they then bring your meal to the table when it's ready. This is good if you are going following say a day of hiking, aren't dressed up and just want to grab a bite to eat. Not so good to take a date to.
Pros: menu variety, outdoor seating
Cons: not entirely vegan, located in a strip mall

Healthy Food at Great Prices - Edit
My girls and I ate here twice while on a trip in Santa Fe. Really yummy, food, large portions, desserts are sublime! Some dishes that were not Indian inspired were on the bland side, thali plate was wonderful, the kitchari and dahl very delicious. Wonderful and friendly owner also owns the Ayurvedic store next door and will chat with you about this. Healthy and yummy!

Awesome find in a shabby strip mall in suburban Santa Fe. Gigantic portions, delicious and healthy. We had tofu scramble and breakfast burrito but could have shared one breakfast. Well prepared, nice sauces and vegetable sides. Very sweet person working here. She is warm, friendly and helpful. You order at the counter but they bring your food to your table.

Ayurvedic Vegetarian Restaurant - Edit
I love this restaurant because I follow an Ayurvedic lifestyle. If you are looking for traditionally westernized Indian food you will NOT find it here. That's not the type of restaurant it is.

A Good Reason to go to Santa Fe - Edit
One of the many reasons we like to make the drive from Taos to Santa Fe regularly is to have lunch at Annapurna's. The food is consistently good, always comforting, and always vegan (with the exception of paneer in a very few dishes). The atmosphere is relaxed, casual, and pretty, and the staff is always friendly. For vegans and vegetarians traveling in New Mexico, Annapurna's is a safe haven, not to be missed.
Read morePros: good food, friendly staff, calm atmosphere

Delicious - Edit
I had been to one of their locations in Albuquerque and enjoyed it and was pleased to know they opened in Santa Fe. For a town like Santa Fe, I'm always surprised that their Veg dining options (not "veg friendly) are lacking, especially for dinner. Annapurna's doesn't disappoint. Their food is always very good. We went there twice during this last weekend. We enjoyed the breakfast burrito and selections from the dinner side of the menu the night before. There's something for everyone on their menu.

Awesome! - Edit
Annapurna is an excellent restaurant. The menu is expansive and has tons of vegan options. I was happy to see that they had a ton of non-Indian options.
Read moreWe ate there twice and my favorite dinner was the veggie burger. The highlight, however, were the masala fries. Somehow Annapurna has done the impossible by improving upon the perfect. The masala fries (with huge help from the garlic sauce) were a-freakin-mazing. Seriously, put them on your bucket list now.
For dessert we had the pecan pie (vegan!!). It was just as good as I remember it being.
If I had to nitpick and pick one thing I didn't love about Annapurna it would be the music. Not really my thing!
Other than that, a perfect dining experience.

Quiet restaurant, free wireless. - Edit
Good place to do computer work (free wireless!) and has organic food, primarily Indian fare. Ample menu and the chai comes with a free refill. Full service and the food will be delivered by a waiter if you dine in. Carrot cake is good. I endorse this place since it is the only one I know of in Santa Fe that is vegetarian and I believe mostly organic. I am a picky vegan and Santa Fe is lucky to have a restaurant like this one. Conveniently located next door to the Co-op (Montanita) which has all items a veg traveler/visitor may need. It is a spacious restaurant with an ez access free parking, large enough to handle large vehicles and RVs. Also convenient for the walker/hiker/biker and on a bus line. It is located in a mini shopping center area with the name of Solana and there is a laundromat close by. The traveler could make this a pit stop for all of their needs.!! Stock up, wind down, eat well, clean up and enjoy Santa Fe! Chai happy hour in the afternoon.
Read morePros: all services/full fare, ez location for travelers, full amenity petite shopping mall

Highly Recommended - Edit
I absolutely loved this restaurant and as a vegan was so glad it existed while I visited Santa Fe. It claims to be World cuisine but for the most part is an Indian Fusion with some twists on western dishes (i.e. their lentil and sweet potato based Shepherd's Pie. Which by the way is excellent).
Read moreThe also have some interesting appetizers like their spiced fries, very good but a bit too hot for my tastes. They also give you huge portions for the price. Sometimes I wanted to try several dishes but would just about have to stuff myself silly to finish. I did end up taking a few things home which I enjoyed later, but like a lot of environmentally conscious vegetarians felt guilty about the packaging.
I also liked the atmosphere which is super chill with dimmed lighting, a variety of seating (i.e. floor cushions, tables, or bar area), and nice music in the background. I even liked the large super-afro picture of Sai Baba behind the counter. I find it a bit comical but definitely fits the decor.
Annapurna is also mindfully located, somewhat near to the central of town, within walking distance of several locations, and is situated next to the local co-op. There is lots of cross over business and whoever thought to be in the same complex made the right decision.
I also enjoyed their little celebrations. I got free vegan carrot cake for the Indian Festival of Lights. Really nice.
Oh, I almost forgot there is a little shop inside the restaurant that sells religious items and art as well as tarot readings. The woman who does the readings is very talented. It's also nice to browse there while waiting for ones food.
Overall Annapurna's (aptly named after The Goddess of Food) is a wonderful experience, especially for the vegetarian inclined. I highly recommend it and will be back again when I visit in March. Great job guys, and gals. : )
Pros: Good Food, Friendly Service, Nice Atmosphere & Location
Cons: Too Much Food if u call that a con, Sweet Potato pie could be a tad sweeter, Can't think of 3. This place is great!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE - Edit
Read moreCons:
* The "famous" soy chai sucked. It tasted watered down and left an awful chalky taste in my mouth. In fact it hardly tasted like chai at all. More like chai tea spilled into water soy milk.
* The "famous" carrot cake was a let down too. The icing tastes like you're licking earth balance or crisco. Not in a good way! The cake is dense and doesn't taste much like carrots. It's not even orange. I love carrot cake and have never been so disappointed.
* The cashier didn't speak english. or spanish.
* the staff is unhelpful. I asked for help with the menu because I can't handle spicy food and while the lady was nice all she had to say was that she loved spicy food. That's nice. I don't.
* The staff tried to force me into paying $8 for steamed veggies when I decided against eating Indian or cheeseless Pizza (Pizza in an Indian place?!)
* The have a HUGE smoothie menu on the wall but don't actually sell smoothies.
* The brown rice tasted like it was cooked in coconut milk
* EVERYTHING on the menu involves coconut milk
* 90% of the menu is deep fried
* NOT HEALTHY!
Pros:
Most of the menu is vegan
The staff is nice and friendly
Good parking
Gluten-free options
My husband ordered a sample platter and said it was pretty good but not anything he'd rave about or eat regularly.
Pros: many vegan options, friendly staff
Cons: unhelpful staff, unhealthy food, slow service
