Editor’s Note
Last updated 29 May 2026
Our take: Annapoorna (Original Pure vegetarian) is lauded by many for its authentic South Indian vegetarian fare, with some reviewers specifically praising its 'Tanjore-style taste'.
The menu offers a good variety, and the staff are noted for being friendly and accommodating, even catering to specific requests like less oil and spice for babies.
The dosa, in particular, receives commendation for being crispy.
However, not all experiences are consistently positive.
Some find the food taste to be average, with criticisms directed at bland sambar and chutneys, and dosas lacking flavour.
The atmosphere is generally described as average, suitable for a quick meal rather than a leisurely dining experience.
Prices are considered by some to be a bit higher than similar local restaurants, with a meal for two potentially costing around S$38 for items like the Tanjore Thali and Mini Tiffin.
Space can also be limited, with tables for two being uncomfortably close to walls.
Verdict: A solid option for authentic South Indian vegetarian food, especially if you appreciate the Tanjore style.
Best visited during off-peak hours to avoid potential waits and to ensure a more comfortable dining experience.

Skip this place. We were surprised by how poor the food tasted. The sambar and chutneys was flat, runny with very little flavour, barely any vegetables and almost like glorified plain cooked dal. Even…
