The great reviews speak for itself. Fantastic food with attentive service. Highly recommended.PS: The negative reviews where reviewers look for cheap overflowing plates is actually laughable.

Love the food, good energy, relaxed atmosphere. Best Naan, hands down. Thank you, been dining there 20 years.

Fantastic curries. By far the best youll find locally. Annapurna lamb shank, highly recommended! Awesome, attentive service.

This restaurant is just spectacular, the quality of the food and personalized service makes it feel like you are eating real home cooked food at a friend or families house. I have eaten at many Indian restaurants but this one is the best by a country mile.

What a great find. We were looking for some real Indian food and we read tge reviews of this stunning place. Ricky, the owner greeted us like old friends. The smell in this quaint restaurant was amazing and we couldnt wait to see and of course taste the food. The garlic Naan, baked in a traditional oven was THE BEST I ever had, the curries did not dissapoint. The owner suggested a Shiraz and boy, that complimented the already delicious curry even more. Thank you for a great afternoon enjoying your cuisine

Amazing food and lovely venue and the best, friendliest service. The menu is extensive with many a choice of meats, as well as a larger vegetarian menu than most places. We were treated so well. Food arrived promptly and you could tell that good food and service is a priority. Personal attention from the owner. Highly recommend.

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. Thats 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 so much more!

New to Durbanville we were looking for an Indian restaurant for my birthday. I am very glad that Google helped us to find Annapurna. From the word go, Ricky was friendly and helpful in finding the right meals for our extensive order - and was even willing to change it when I phoned later to ask for an alternative meal. When I got there to fetch our take away, I realised that I didnt have my card with me. For Ricky it was not nearly a problem and he allowed me to do an EFT from home. This is what I call being a fellow South African. On top of everything we had a very tasteful meal and great fun in tasting all the different flavours amongst us! What a great experience! And very affordable. We will definitely be back! 10 stars from us!

Annapurna is an awesome Restaurant! The waiter, probably also the owner, is such a sweetheart! He is so kind and helpful and always good to talk to!Furthermore the food is amazing! It is very tasty and its filling u quick. You can also order your dish in different strong spices.They have very tasty wine and the ambient is very authentic and welcoming.I definitely recommend the garlic naan! And every type of curry.You can also order it for take away.

Wonderful hosts, fantastic food. We will be back.

Amazing food, great atmosphere.

Excellent Rogan Josh dish with roti, the owner was a perfect host, definitely going back ! 💖

Best Indian food ever! Cannot find a single restaurant that beats Annapurna in terms of flavor and hospitality.

Lacking authenticity, this restaurant served us curry with the toughest of meat. While we ordered and paid for lamb, we definitely were not served lamb. Nor in colour, flavour or texture, that certainly was not lamb. We ordered pshwarie naan and were served a regular naan with some coconut sprinkled on it .... they were burnt on the one side and raw on the other. Hugely disappointed at how the quality of the food dropped.

Best Indian restaurant in Durbanville...

Hot plates, hot food, great taste.

Lovely food and wonderful service

Always a great experience. Ricky really pays close attention to his patrons. Always feels like a special night out going there.

If you are in the mood to be judged and glared at go to this stuck up place. I lived in the building for a year and its by far not cheap and yet they looked at me like the cat dragged me in. Their food lacks flavour, its just hot. No flavour, just like them. They are one of three parties who made my stay at heritage square very hard. And I have cancer, did chemotherapy and radiation and list my breast all during covid. So go and spend your money elsewhere. They discriminate.

Great food, great taste and fabulous people. Thanks guys.

Absolutely delicious! Welcoming and friendly host. Garlic naan to die for.

What a lovely place and a very attentive and knowledgable host. Amazing food with the best butter naan I have ever tasted! Definitely going back

Best Lamb Shank in Rogan Josh sauce!

Next level, Ricky is a world class host and the curries and food is out of this world. I consider myself an avid lover of Indian curries and I rate this my best experience to date. Who would have thought it would be hidden away in Durbanville Cape Town. 5 stars!

Excellent service and excellent food. We will be back.

We have been there a few times and are blown away every time by not only Ricis personal services but the most amazing food. It is so good you dont want to brush your teeth before you go sleep.

Amazing food, amazing vibe! Feels like home.

A yellow(not suppose to be) palak(spinach) panner curry with chillies not fried at start.Not smart enough to fool Indians.Any random recipe from internet will get you a palak panner the way it should be.Tried restaurant 5 times atleast with different veg and chicken curries. Specially the veg curries are really very bad.

The food was amazing. The butter naan was the best Ive ever had.

Quaint little place in tygervalley fab managed very VERY hot vindaloo curry 15/10 for heat

Delicious food. Very involved and interested host. Highly recommended

One of our favourite little Indian restaurants in Cape Town. We are always welcomed with warmth and friendliness and feel right at home. The personal touch from the owner makes the feeling more intimate. The food is delicious at affordable prices and one can take your own wine while enjoying a memorable experience.

Food is good but with limited option. Service is quick.

The food is amazing and the owner really connects with his customers. Its quaint, cosy, warm. One of the best restaurants Ive been to in a while.

Amazing authentic Indian cuisine! All three main meals were flawless! Ricky the owner is also super friendly!

Ricky thank you for excellent service. The food is absolutely amazing.

Always a pleasure.Small intimate restaurant with great service where you always feel like family.This is supported by a good selection of beverages and great food, well prepared makes this a winner.Will definitely go again.

Great service and food was excellent. Served personally by owner Rickey himself

Great meal. Great host. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic. Food with the best flavours!!

We were made to feel so welcome and the food was very good. I cant wait to try more dishes. Thank you very much.

Great food and service! Ask for Ricky 😆

Great restaurant, the food is excellent, the staff are very friendly, and I feel the prices are reasonable. I think a lot of people avoid Indian food as they think it is going to be too hot/spicy, the staff at Annapurna make it clear that you can have your food as spicy as you want, ranging from mild to very hot, which is great when you have a group with different tastes. Some in our group went for mild while I went for hot and everyone was very happy with their choice.

Service was 10 extra miles. Food was great. We all wanted to eat more, but just could not.Annapurna was a food experience. We will be back. Soon and often.

Beautiful flavours and friendly service. Exactly what I had been craving!

This is not a eat and go restaurant, this is a very relaxed and intimate evening out venue. The owner takes orders and serves you while making sure the evening is just what you want. My wife and I had a wonderful time there the food was exeptional while we had time to talk and really have a intimate night together without being rushed in any way. This is the best Indian restaurant we have been to and we will be back very soon. Thank you.

Delicious Indian food every time. You can also call to order and then collect. Their menu is on the dining out website

A Lovely place. The very nice atmosphere and nicely decorated. The food was beyond expectation. Very tasty caters for the mild and hot curry eaters. The manager is extremely friendly and welcoming. The staff members know the food on the menu very well and are more than willing to assist in your decision making. The only complaint I would have is that it was a little cramped due it being valentine day but hardly a major issue that would ruin an evening.

Amazing food, great host. Made us feel special.

Beautiful experience. Our host was the best

Expensive for SA and so not what we were expecting. They served up what were obviously frozen prawns for the price of fresh. Everything else good but overcooked rubbery prawns spoiled it. Go to the nearby Jewel of India instead!

First time. Very nice. Nice atmosfeer. Food very good

North Indian curry at its best. No fuss and frills, just good food and friendly staff. Restaurant was a little bit topsy turvy on the night we visited. Pictures off the wall and bit of clutter here and there. It didnt spoil the meal or the vibe, but i cant lie, the ambiance was affected. All in all a lovely dinner out though.

No better Indian Restaurant! This is the best! Food is amazing and the owner is really a wonderful person. If you want excellent food, excellent service and ambiance then this is a must! Loooooove the food!!!!!

Best Indian Restaurant in Cape Town! Ricky is a super host who keeps everyone happy while serving delicious dishes at the same time. He tailors his dishes to suit specific tastes and will remember them! The onion bhajis are to die for!

Amazing butter chicken. Excellent service all around. Loved the place

The food was ok. Unfortunately there was a few bugs walking around.

Best Indian cuisine in the entire Western Cape. There food is out of this world and there service is amazing! I would recommend Annapurna to anyone! They have a variety of curries, for people that love HOT food like me to mild curries for someone like my lady!

Owner Rickie is very charming and friendly. Service was excellent and the food delicious. Really enjoyed my dining out experience at Annapurna.

Excellent! The food has the rich complexity of flavours and spices that makes every dish an adventure. And the host exudes warmth and kindness and welcome.

Another fantastic meal. Thank you Ricki and Eran for great evening

Tasty, authentic and just delicious every time. I love it!

Great North Indian curry! The service that we received from Ricki was just plain amazing. If lived any closer this would have become a weekly stop.

Must say... changed my mind about good deliciousness curry. Would recommend to anyone that is interested in good curry or trying it for the first time. Or even someone that had a bad experience in die past to have their mind changed.

Excellent food, excellent service. Very friendly owner who interacts with his clients. Can not fault anything. We will definitely be back.

Great variety of North Indian food. Excellent naan and exceptional personal service by the owner. Lovely warm ambience. A really enjoyable meal.

One of the hidden Gems of Durbanville.Outstanding food, reasonable prices, great service and a wonderful host.

Excellent and somewhat different from usual Indian food. Well worth a taste. Try their Naan bread. They also cater for takeaways.

Excellent food. Great service from owner and staff

The best lambshank you can dream of. Curry is very tasty, service excellent and the ambiance of the place the best.

5 star experience!Taste explosion ........ and such a passionate host!Amazing food and dining experience :)

Magic ambiance super food

One of our favourite places to visit. Great tasting food. We often ask the owner to guide our dining experiance which means we always enjoy the evening.

Very homely, great food, and personal service. Perfect for a first date or a romantic night out

Wonderful experience. The owner Ricky the perfect host. Food is so flavourful.

Very good. The best in Bellville area.

Superb little restaurant in the heart of Durbanville. The host makes you feel most welcome and the food is really awesome! Will for sure be returning!

Lovely homely atmosphere. Great Indian cuisine. Ricky made us feel most welcome.

Food was good, long wait for service as well as food, regulars gets preference.

Excellent host. Great cuisine. Best curry I ever had. A must for all curry lovers

Small quaint resturant nicely decorated creating the ambiance of India, lovely interaction from manager/chef, food amazing value for money & so tastey.Highly recommended.

If you are Indian dont go, expensive food not worth for money

Food is delicious 😋

Absolutely stunning little restaurant. I went there for date night, upon entering we were greeted with a handshake by the owner, which is already a plus for me. The menu has a massive variety of meats to choose from as well as a lot of vegetarian options. My other half and I had no idea what to order and the owner simply did the order for us :). I was very impressed with the food. Taste, presentation, quantity, quality, 10/10 all around. Defintely value for money!!! The wine is a bit expensive though if you dont bring it from home. The owner put in a lot of effort catering for each individual guest and made it feel like we are eating out in his home, filled with love!

It was a great experience warm and friendly vibe with the best curry dishes i have ever had. Thank you for the awsome experience.

Nice food and friendly and cozy atmosphere

Always awesome food

Very nice food and atmosphere. Will be there again soon. Host is GREAT

It is never open when I am there, does it even operate anymore?

Great food and owner very friendly

Excellent service, with very very tasty food. I can definitely recommend the restaurant.

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 its 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 shouldnt get any stars at all. Its 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 IN DURBANVILLE

Owner, manager, staff, ambience and of course the food is all excellent. What more could one ask for

Excellent service and very tasty food

Wonderfully hospitable and delicious food, especially the naan bread and chicken dish.

I had the chicken vindaloo curry. The proprietor warned me that it was seriously hot, and perhaps I didnt take him seriously enough. It is hot! But also delicious.

Best Indian restaurant in Durbanville. Food is amazing, service is great, atmosphere is cozy and warm.

By far the best Indian restaurant in Cape Town. The food is amazing and the owner gets to know everyone personally.

The most wonderful food and gracious ( ex Durban) hosts.....can believe it took us 2 years to find this lovely place right on our doorstep

Very good Indian food snd an enjoyable evening. Lamb shank was great and went well with the Naan bread. Friendly service and advise from waitron and owner. Great eating out experiance. Recommended
