Excellent Nepali-Indian Cuisine and Great Service! Tried the curry, and it was absolutely delicious. The lamb and chicken were both excellent—tender and full of flavor. The restaurant has a very calm and pleasant atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal. The service was great, with attentive and friendly staff. Definitely a place worth visiting!
If you’re looking for an authentic Nepali dining experience, this place is a gem! The ambience truly captures the essence of Nepal, and the food is just as genuine. We ordered momo and chauchau, both of which were delicious and full of flavor. The highlight of our visit was Rama didi, the chef, who personally came to our table to chat. Her warmth and hospitality made the experience even more special. Highly recommend
The food in Annapurna is amazing , the location is great , and the staff is really kind , I specially love the Cheese naan , Chicken Tandori (not to spicy) and the Lamb Curry, almost 3 persona can eat from this dish , I fully recommend
My first time coming here and I have to say this was the best food I’ve had in the Vail valley! Every single thing was amazing!! The owner invited me earlier today when he visited my job and I made it my business to pay them a visit! The staff are all Nepalese and were very kind and accommodating. The ambiance was very nice giving a calm vibe which I appreciated very much agree a long day at work, everything was clean and organized. My favorite thing was the chau chau shrimp it was sooo flavorful and filling, the naan could’ve been eaten alone but it definitely was great with saag paneer and makhani chicken. My boyfriend was very very pleased with the goat curry, it reminded him of Jamaican curry goat which is something he’s been looking for since we moved here. We’ll definitely be coming back to try more things and we’re very excited to do so!
Annapurna is a total hidden gem in Vail. We loved the food. The masala and makhani were absolutely delicious, the samosas were amazing, and the naan was one of my favorites that I’ve had. We also never had an empty water glass, the service was great. Thank you!
Authentic and delicious food. The momos were amazing and a must-have. Roti reminded us of homemade food. It's a good place to get food and chai in a cold and snowy day. (Remember to explicitly say no sugar if you want chai with no sugar). Food is slightly on the expensive side, but that's to be expected of Vail.
This is hands down the best Indian / Nepalian food in Colorado! Love this best and come here every single time I’m in town. Their cheese Naan is by far the best I’ve ever had. Put some of the Chicken Massala juice over the rice and you will be in heaven. I can’t recommend this spot enough! Gluten free options as well if you ask. Great service and a nice fun Indian ambiance mixed with the nepalian mountain feel.
Great food with amazing services. We traveled from LA and they were about to close but still served us food with love. The goat curry was really flavorful! Both the owner and chef were both very friendly with us! Highly recommend!
