Annapurna North Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Durbanville

If you want a personalized experience with an attentive host who loves to get to know his guests better, Annapurna is definitely worth a visit. They say dynamite comes in small packages and this is especially true here! It is a tiny restaurant hidden away in a Durbanville shopping centre opposite Mica and in the same building as Kapstadt Brauhaus. I went there for a work anniversary with friends and I almost thought the restaurant was closed when the host opened up the doors. That's when the place came to life. For every request, he made a plan. We told him what curries we were used to and whether we liked mild or hot curries, and based on our answers the host gave us some great advice and we ended up having a variety of delicious meals that we all shared, served in beautiful small Indian pots and accompanied by plates of yummy garlic butter naan. As a starter we had great samoosas served with tamarind sauce (tastes similar to chutney, only ten times better) and the host even shared some knowledge about Indian cuisine with us. I defnitely want to go again soon! The only thing to keep in mind is Covid19 - the place is small and very closed off, so it is a very intimate experience. I also noticed that different maps give different directions to the place. Ample underground parking available (heritage square). They also serve alcohol. Unfortunately no longer the Indian beer that I would have loved to try, but there are plenty other drinks to choose from. Curries range from butter chicken to rogan josh and...

THIS IS A WARNING TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS TERRIBLE INDIAN RESTAURANT CALLD ANNAPURNA IN DURBANVILLE. We both found this place to be Dark & Dingy although the food was just ok I really dont recommend this Indian Restaurant to anyone. The plates you eat off were Dirty & had to be wiped with a servette but the shock came when you turn the plate over it was filthy they looked like they had never ever seen soap & water & were just wiped with a dry cloth. It really is Disgusting how a restaurant that serves food on these plates to the public it's shocking & I wonder what the kitchen looks like I think the health inspector should pay them a visit. I am a visitor to Durbanville & a friend took me there but never again will I go to Annapurna Indian Restaurant. It really shouldn't get any stars at all. It's a total Disgrace that they are allowed to serve the public with any food at all. You can clearly see that their licence to serve food should be taken from them & they should be closed down. This is a warning to anyone thinking of going there. We asked for Lamb curry & got Beef curry & both my friend & I had terrible indigestion after eating their food & it was very expensive!!! STAY AWAY FROM ANNAPURNA INDIAN RESTAURANT...

We had a delightful evening at Annapurna. From the moment we stepped in, the cheerful, inviting vibe set the stage for what became a truly memorable meal.

The food was absolutely fantastic. Each dish burst with flavor, clearly crafted with love and meticulous attention. The spices danced harmoniously, the ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was charmingly simple yet elegant. Whether you crave hearty, soul-soothing curries or lighter, more refined options, the menu has something to dazzle everyone, even the younger ones!

The service was warm and engaging without being intrusive. The staff were enthusiastic, eager to share their favorites, and genuinely seemed to relish introducing us to their culinary delights.

Annapurna is not just a dining spot; it’s a joyful experience. One of those rare gems that leaves you not only satisfied but truly uplifted. Highly recommended for...
