Annalakshmi Restaurant — Restaurant in Central Zone

DO NOT go to this restaurant. The owner is rude to the customers.

We went to this restaurant for lunch yesterday and there was a lady at reception said the restaurant is fully booked. However, we could see some seats were empty. We asked that we’re only 2 plus a 1 year old baby, can’t you accommodate us since there are seats. But she strictly denied. We requested that, we can even wait for 10-15mins but still she denied it. So, we went and ate a very good meals at Annapoorna in the next building.

The car we parked is a common car parking for Pazhamudhir Nilayam and Annalakshmi restaurant. We were not aware that a seal need to be get in from either of two to take back our car from parking. We went to Pazhamudhir Nilayam to get few apples and asked for a seal. But they denied to put seal as we had come to Annalakshmi restaurant and they asked to get it from there.

When we went to get a seal, the owner of annalakshmi restaurant was speaking rudely. He said that since you hadn’t eat food at our restaurant I cannot put a seal. I told him, since you said there’s no space in restaurant we went to another. And he said, you can come and eat now. By that time we ate very good meals from Annapoorna. We also told him, we’re okay to pay the car parking charges, but that also the owner hadn’t agreed to. Finally, a lady from Pazhamudhir Nilayam put a seal and we took our car out.

When Annalakshmi owner don’t know how to speak politely to customers, how can one think they will serve the customer better.

From the conversation, I could clearly understand the owner of ANNALAKSHMI RESTAURANT is purely money minded and not customer oriented. SO NEVER GO TO...

#coimbatore This city gives me so much everytime I visit. Another very simple yet beautiful and serene lunch experience at the Annalakshmi restaurant, Coimbatore! The food is a culmination of energies the vibes of the place and people around makes it a fulfilling experience. We started our lunch with the ginger soup that helped in building our appetite. The bajji and crispy was perfect for the starters. The thali was a perfect blend of vegetables, roti , rice and poori. The next course was very exciting steamed rice with 2 varities of parapu podi ( garlic and curry leaves) with ghee, another portion of rice with sambar and pepper puli kuzhambu. The rasam was yummy and I opted to have it like a soup. The puli aval ( poha) needs a special mention, more like masala poha but made using tamrind pulp. We south indian love to finish our meal with curd rice and that's exactly what I did. Perfectly mashed curd rice with a dollop of garlic pickle and vadam was a beautiful finale to the thali! The sweet finale was even exciting, it was so good that I completely forgot to take pictures. Fresh fruits with icecream ❤️

Special mention for the service and hospitality felt like home.

I'd never been to annalakshmi before though heared a lot about their food and service. Visited coimbatore branch for a lunch. The first thing that caught my attention was their interior. It was just Wow. The seatings, antique cutleries, chairs and tables were authentic and it clearly says that its not just any other restaurants. We ordered a lunch combo that was 350 bucks and vegetable pulao with veg Manchurian. It was served in a silver cutlery. It took 30mins for the dish to be served. To my disappointment, they served, semicooked basmati rice wthst was similar to fried rice with the stir fired beans and carrots and they call it as pulao. Never tasted such pathetic pulao anywhere. Then comes the veg Manchurian, which was like a golf ball sized , when I cut that into half, the maida flour was just raw and I reported to the manager. Immediately they addressed it and asked me to eat slow till they replace with corn Manchurian. The lunch combo was again too simple with a soup, kootu, sambar, milagu kuzhambu , appalam, kesari, raita and rasam. Tell you with deep disappointment, that even a mildly charged hotels and restaurants serve good sumptuous meals than annalakshmi. May be I got bitter experience. Will never visit this place again giving such huge amount for a thali and pulao which not worth it. Giving 2 stars for the interior , ambience and for the service by volunteers. Food is a big...
