About us
Annapurna Simply Vegetarian
Our Story
Begins in 1982
In 1982, before Devon Street—now known as "Little India"—emerged as a celebrated ethnic enclave, we embarked on
a journey to create a vegetarian restaurant that would not only deliver exceptional food but also popularize vegetarian
cuisine.
Today, 33 years later, Annapurna proudly stands as Chicago’s oldest and most renowned vegetarian restaurant.
The name "Annapurna" translates to "Perfect Food," reflecting our commitment to culinary excellence.
From crispy, flavorful Samosas to refreshing Mango Lassis, every dish on our menu offers an authentic taste rooted in
tradition. As a family-run establishment, we are grateful to our loyal customers who have supported us throughout this
remarkable journey.

Happy Customers Have to Say
The live panipuri here is one of the best I've had in the United States. Highly recommended! They also offer fresh sugarcane juice.
This place has quickly become our go-to spot on Devon Avenue. We love taking evening walks and stopping here for a bite. I had a delicious Rava Dosa, and you can also buy homemade pickles if you're a pickle fan.
I stopped by for a quick snack and tried the Aloo Chat, Samosa Chat, and Papri Chat. They were all delicious! We also had the Paneer Masala Dosa, which was the best I've ever had (and I'm not usually a Dosa person). The prices were very reasonable.
