Place for authentic Andhra meals. Tried out the poorna meals, the pappu, sambar, curries were authentic. To add to this, the powders with ghee and rice hit closer to home. Payasam was good too. Good hosts and quick service. One of the must visit places for Andhra food in Ahmedabad.

This Review is emotionally close to my heart...

I am a big fan of Andhra style cuisine.. I had it many times in Vishakhapatnam.... Nellorewadi mess , Attarillu etc.... For last 6years I was craving it as dint got it anywhere , even in Banglore I dint find it ( Nagarjuna was closed ) and all of a sudden I found this.. Annam in Makarba @ Ahmedabad and since I wanted to visit this place. So in my recent visit to Ahmedabad I with my dad and friend visited this place... "Don't judge this place for it's area or interior or the size of the restaurant".
It was a rainy day and we visited for lunch and As soon as we entered we were welcomed by two most humble owners Mr. And Mrs. Shah. I was 2000% sure what I was going to eat and it was Sampoorna Andhra Meal... We ordered..

By my Dad...
Plain idly - It was good specially Sambhar and chutney we're Yummm. Rating (7/10)

Masala Dosa - it was a regular Masala Dosa but the Flavour of Masala filling was great and the icing on the cake was spoon full of Butter. Yummmmmm. Rating (8/10)

By my Friend...
He was actually very curious as well as tensed for the quality and Flavour of the food, and he asked for idly but the aunty told that go for something different as he was trying it for the first time but he finally ordered....

Nellore Dosa - It was an open Dosa stuffed with masala spreaded , spices , onion and loads of butter... The Flavours were perfect for the tongue. We all liked it . Rating (8.5/10)

Char minar Idly - What a dish it was... Idly Friend with gunpowder, chillies , spices and again Butter which enhanced the Flavour. Superb is the word for it. Rating (9.5/10)

Filter coffee - It was a regular coffee served traditionally with steel cup and bati. Rating (7/10)

Now comes what I ordered...
SAMPOORNA ANDHRA MEAL -
I don't know how I would be writing for this... This was my OMG moment... I was literally longing for this for so long and finally I had it in Ahmedabad..
The Thali had...
Malaga podi
Karam podi
Neyyi ( Ghee )
Andhra pickle
Applam
Perudu or Thair ( Curd )
Variety rice ( Puliogare Rice )
Annam rice ( Plain Rice )
Pappu ( Dal- Awesomeness)
Charu (Rasam- 😘)
Sambhar ( The most Authentic one can have )
2 Vegetables-
One Dry veg comprised of fried beans , onion , carrot , Curry leaves etc. &
One was Brinjal curry , I forgot the name may be koora curry... I have never tested Brinjal the way they prepare.... Delicious, delectable and Flavoursome it was.
Rating (100/10) yes.... It was simply Awesome, lucious, mouth watering delicious.... I have no words how to describe this....
The owner guided us the way to eat it as they have in Andhra... Person involvement of the owners was very good.... Mr. Shah himself served us the food as we weren't their customer but as a family member.. They should grow Bigg...

I forgot about the sweet they serve.... Kesari Bhaat or kesari sira... Mildly sweet , pampered with Ghee... Mast 8/10

Sorry for limited pics as we were very hungry and dint took much pics, but the food they serve will remain in our heart.... We will be back again and again and again...

One of the best place for Andhra style food or South Indian food. Good service, very friendly staff, also hygiene and very standard type of serving food one by one where first you get traditional Andhra type rice with chutney and then starts the main courses, so overall tempting and mouth watering food. Must visit. I give 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟

I tried the sampoorna andhra meal. I found the quality and taste of food comparable with authentic andhra meal places in Hyderabad. Pappu, red garlic chutney and podi were the highlight of the meal. If you are planning to go late in the evening for dinner, call them and confirm about the availability of meal. Recommended for people who love Nagarjuna, Bangalore and andhra bhawan, new delhi

On our first visit to annam today, had their Andhra thali. Was totally worth the experience. Others on our table had idlis and vada sambar which were great as well. It is heartening to see *authentic* Andhra food make is way to Ahmedabad.

However, the highlight of our meal was the conversation with the owner Mr. Tejas. His passion for food and what he offers on the menu and how he goes about bringing the best was refreshing.

If you are ok with an average ambience but love great food, you will have a great time here.

Will visit again soon!

Its a cozy little place near Corporate Road and Makarba run by a sweet elderly couple. They are really passionate about their food, which is something that I have started looking for in recent times - Eateries run by people passionate about food, rather than by people just trying to earn a quick buck.

Back to the food - Annam offers the regular South Indian stuff, which itself is very good - Dosa, Uttapam, Idli, Vada, Upma, Various Rices etc. But what they are really proud of is their Andhra Meal. Thats their USP and totally worth more than what they are charging for.

I ordered their Sampoorna Andhra Meal which was served on a Banana Leaf:

(Unlimited) Kathal (Jackfruit) Biryani, Regular White Rice, Pappu(Dal), Sambhar, Charu (Rasam), 2 Curries - Avial & Gobhi 65, 2 Chutneys - Onion Chutney & Tomato Chutney, Gongura Pickel, Curd, Gun Powder etc.

(Limited): Applam Papad, Ghee, Kesari (Sweet)

Being a Vegetarian place - they have replaced the Traditional Andhra Chicken 65 and Chiken Biryani with Gobhi 65 and Kathal Biryani.

Each and every item mentioned above leaves you wanting for more.

Special Mention to the Gongura Pickel and the 2 Chutneys. One can eat plain rice with these items. No curries, dal, sambhar etc. required.

If you are not sure about how to go about eating the meal, the gentleman running the place will be more than happy to explain it. Helps you enjoy the meal more.

One Very Important point - "No Spoons", go totally desi with fingers to enjoy the meal.

So, I am writing this after having a fully 100% satisfying meal and after spending the day just lazing around post enjoying their delectable preparations. So their Sampoorna Thaali, totally authentic Andhra style and served on a washed and cleaned banana leaf. We were served: Gunpowder (not the real one 🤣) but a type of dry chutney powder, two types of chutneys, avial, gobi 65 south indian style, rasam, daal, sambar, plain rice, specialty of the day which was jackfruit hyderabadi biryani (utterly delicious), curd, ghee, papad and halwa. All of this unlimited except the ghee and sweet. Every single of these items served on the banana leaf was thoroughly flavorful and freshly prepared. Each item had a unique and different flavor. It was like the flavors of this Southern state coming to blow your mind!!

We also ordered the Nellore Dosa... And needless to say this was another fantastic preparation. Sufficient stuffing inside the Dosa unlike other restaurants who are stingy with the stuffing. Perfectly spiced and delectable stuffing. The sambar and coconut chutney with the Dosa... I have to say were both mouth watering.

And this heat calls for a delectable aam panna, for a very small price you get some really fresh aam panna here. Overall it was a truly satisfying experience. After eons I came out of a restaurant not just feeling full but also satisfied. Oh ya, what's more is that the owners are around serving, taking orders and paying attention. Given that its a small restaurant but the personal involvement from the owners is what made me feel right at home.

This was an experience that I would surely repeat! Tip: Better be on time as the place has only 4 tables and is almost always packed to the hilt.

If you crave Andhra meal or authentic South Indian food in a banana leaf, Annam is the place you should definitely visit (rather keep visiting so you can try more dishes). I've had enough food down South in India but finding this restaurant in Ahmedabad, Gujarat is cool.

Location: Annam is located in the interiors of Prahladnagar, more of near Makarba or Vejalpur side. It is on the main road and easily accessible. Ones who who are not well versed with this area, Google maps directions are advisable.

My order: I had gone to this place with a friend who also shared interest liking an Andhra meal. Hence we went for their Sampoorna Andhra Thali.

Hosts: Vikas and Rupal were very humble. Till the time food arrived, we introduced ourselves and got to know each other. They made sure service was done well. The vegetarian restaurant is a small comfortable setup.

Food: The thali had Dal, Sambar, Rasam, Poriyal, Curry, 2 types of Chutneys, 2 types of Karam (gun powder), flavoured rice, steamed rice, curd, applam and a sweet.

Everything tasted authentic like the food you get in Hyderabad or Bangalore thalis. The dal out of all was very good. Poriyal that day was of beans and carrot with coconut. Curry was of bottle guard again coconut based and gravy tasted well. Peanut chutney and tomato pickle just added that punch when had with rice.

I started off with ghee steamed rice and karam, worked my way though each dish and ended with curd rice. With Sampoorna thali you get an option to have a flavoured rice and we opted for Tomato rice which spicy and good. For desert they served Kesari which tasted well too.

Glad to rate this a 5 star just for the thali as you don't get similar options in Ahmedabad (baring Dravida).

Anaam team - I have already buzzed around to my family and friends. Looking forward to visit you soon with more meal lovers. Thank you.

I have visited Annam twice till date and I have become fan of this place now. I got to know about Annam through one of the groups on social media. I have been looking for authentic places in Ahmedabad which serves authentic cuisine of different parts of out country, I have been tired of eating fusion dishes in Ahmedabad lately. Therefore, when I got to know about this place, I made my plan to visit it. This place is situated in Makaraba area near Prahladnagar. It is almost 11-12 KMS from my home. Therefore, I had to make a plan to visit Annam especially on one of the Sunday evenings. If you're going there for the first time and not aware about the area, then by Google Map you would easily reach there. The restaurant is pretty small and have 4 tables for dine-in, but when the food is delicious, no other things matter. As soon as we got settled on our table and I promptly placed the order for Sampoorna Andhra Meal and Char Minar Idlis, but the lady who was taking the order came after the two minutes informed us that Sampoorna Andhra Meal got over and also it would take 40-45 minutes to prepare another stock of Idlis. I got very disappointed, but I thought that if I came here finally, so it's better to try their other dishes and would try Sampoorna Andhra Meal next time. Then, I decided to order Rice Combo and Rawa Masala Dosa. Rice Combo consists of three different types of rice preparation one is Coconut Rice, the other two are Tomato Rice and Curd Rice which were served along with Appalam(Fry Papad), Koora, Pickle and Payasam. In my life, I had never tasted so delicious rice preparations. The taste was simple and yet so appealing. Without much fuss, they are able to create magic out of their dishes. My first visit was satisfying, but wasn't complete one. I visited them for the Sampoorna Meal and didn't get to savour it, so had to visit them again. Last evening, I again try my luck to visit them for Sampoorna Andhra Meal. I reached there sharp at 7 o'clock and to my surprise it wasn't open yet, I thought again my luck isn't working in my favor, even though I decided to wait there for 15-20 mins. At 7:15pm, they opened the restaurant and I was happy thinking that I would finally get a chance to savour their famous Sampoorna Thali. We were the first one of the evening. The same thing I did after sitting was to order Sampoorna Andhra Thali, Char Minar Idli and Pineapple Kesari. Even the Uncle and Aunty were also present this time who run this place. It took them almost 20-25 mins to bring our order may be it was the first order of the night. Banana Leaf was placed on our table and the first thing was served was Biryani along with Raita and Salan. It was my first experience of Biryani with Salan and I thoroughly enjoyed it. After that, they brought main dishes like Annam(Rice), Curd, Pickle, Chutney, Gun Powder, Ghee, Appalam(Papad), Rasam, Sambhar and Payasam. I have never enjoyed Rice so much before, even Uncle and Aunty taught us how to eat and what will be the best combo to have rice with. It was so satisfying food and experience that, it literally couldn't define in words, you just need to experience this yourself. If you're looking for something authentic items from South Indian cuisine and especially from Andhra, then you must not miss Annam at any cost. Totally worth it. The food was finger-licking good in true sense.

This little place in prahaladnagar is a hidden gem for all the south indian fanatics out there. The place is indeed small, have only 3-4 tables and the simplest of ambience but they serve one of the most authentic south Indian Cuisine in Ahmedabad.

The place is run by a couple, both so much eager to serve us the authentic food. I tried thier Sampoorna Andhra meal and it was the first time I had the proper south Indian meal. I was not even aware of what those items in my dish were, but the owners so gently and sweetly explained us that what to eat and how. Everything was nice and spicy ... A great meal for spicy food lovers like me..

Also I tried their filter coffee, idli and upma. Everything is amazing and the best part is the pricing. The place is totally value for money.

And who won't like to visit this place again and again when you have such an amazing hospitality awaiting.

Been here twice till now and ordered food from here a couple of times. Whenever I miss my home food badly, I go to this place. It’s run by a couple who have stayed in Andhra Pradesh for a while and fell in love with the food there. They are very courteous that they have even offered extra sweet pongal for us after our meal our first time there (we were full, but they insisted that we try it out). Taste and quality of food is amazing. Place could have been bigger, nonetheless, it’s a great place.

I am so much fond of South Indian Cuisine that sometimes I feel I must have been a South Indian in my last birth plus my love for rice is unconditional. Well, today I decided to try this place called "Annam", a Telugu word for Rice which is trending these days for serving Andhra Meal called Poorna and Sampoorna the latter being a little more sumptuous with a serving of sweet dish and variety rice which where Pineapple Sheera and Tamarind Rice respectively.Normally whenever you visit a place serving only South Indian food you have the typical mentality which I also had that it would be run by South Indians, but I was wrong. They say there is no age to follow one's passion, Mr. Tejas Shah (A pakka Gujju) is one such example who started Annam at the age 52, the place is just 8 months old and has been nominated by the Times of India Food Awards under Best Restaurants serving South Indian Food.He was supported by Rupal Ma'am, his wife who was also present at the restaurant.Now coming to the ambiance, the place is very small and which can accommodate only 4 tables with a sitting capacity of around 16 people. I felt the place became very congested when it was full and with table arrange so closely, it is difficult to walk the aisle. The place is also a little inelegantAll the preparations were served on a banana leaf and were as under:Anti-clockwise in the leaf

The fourth star is just for their authentic and the most balanced sambar.
The outlet is a small 10 seater (approx) providing some really amazing andhra dishes which is very difficult to find in ahmedabad.

I tried the guntur idli which was served with a dash of gun powder( a spicy masala ) which takes the dish to whole another level. The combination of the chutneys creates explosion of flavors which was extremely satisfying.

Do try their sampoorna meal.

Had a wonderful experience trying out traditional Andhra Meal at #Annam.

The owners are a Gujarati foodie couple, who stayed for quite a long time at Hyderabad. The couple paid attention to the detailing involved in an #AndhraThali and reproduced it in #apnu #Amdavad, so that the people of Gujarat do not have to go far away to taste traditional #Andhra food.

The video is self-explanatory and I had super fun polishing off the flavourful food with my fingers. Ohh the banana leaf made me nostalgic (because Bengalis too eat on a banana leaf traditionally).

Along with the South Indian thali option, you can also try delicacies from their à la carte menu, that includes dahi idli (and other varieties of idli), pongal, upma, filter coffee, dosa, etc. (I mentioned only my favourites here 😋)

Thank you Satyen Gadhvi ji to take me to this homely place. Also double thanks for shooting this video 😀

Andhra Food is Spicy than other parts of southern India. Alike others people of Andhra are also rice eaters. “Annam” which means boiled white rice is a small food joint promoted by Tejasbhai & Rupalben serves authentic unlimited Andhra meals which we usually find in every places of Andhra Pradesh.

Meals are served on banana leaves. Once the banana leaf is placed on your table and if you are new , tejasbhai promptly visits your table and teaches you how to clean it with water and how some water is to be put on table to allow the leaf to stick to the surface preventing spillage.

Once through, you are served dry powders consisting salt, gun powder, sweet curry leaves powder. Powder is known as podi in Andhra.. thereafter, comes chutneys…chutney made from brinjal & tomato… Then comes cauliflower fritters, bagaar baingan – famous curry of Hyderabad.. You are also served melted ghee called Neyyi, fried pappadum and rassam…then lemon rice & boiled white rice and generous amount of 2 types of daal namely pappu & sambhar and lastly Kheer..

They also serve idli, dosa, vada & other Andhra snacks opened from 8 am to 11 pm daily…they just have 16 pax…so one may have to wait if all tables are full. Personal attention of promoters and authentically prepared dishes surely makes your visit memorable.

Today enjoyed authentic Andhra Meals at this nice cosy homely place. Run by a lovely couple - Tejasbhai and Rupalben - it is a wisp of fresh air on the Ahmedabad food scene. It actually fills a big gap lingering on the prestige of food-crazy Ahmedabad : offering authentic proper unlimited Andhra meals as you would find in any big or small town in South India.

Starting with the basics like serving on big banana leaves and teaching you to clean it with water and also how you should let the discarded water remain on table to allow the leaf to stick to the surface preventing any spills later on. First comes the dry powders - salt, karam podi (gun powder), karivepaku podi (sweet limda or curry leaves podi) followed by venkaya pachadi (spicy baingan chutney) and tomato kara chutney (spicy tomato garlic chutney). Then came 2 subjis - fried andhra style potato fritters and another gem of a subji - spicy subji of pumpkin (કોળું in Gujarati). Then came a small container of melted ghee, appalam (fried poppadum) and rasam (charu). Since we had order the big full dish (Sampoorna), we also got a bowl of coconut rice. Finally we were served piping hot parboiled rice in a big heap, which was soon inundated with a big ladle of pappu (thick daal with some veggies) and lovely sambar (full of southi veggies). Also served at the same time was a largish bowl of sweet pongal. And then, time stood still for next 20 mins.... we just swooped on the rice, curries, liquids, solids, powders - one by one by one - and the stocks kept of refreshing magically by itself.

Just go for it- you will become a fan and a regular.

Andhra in Gujarat.. a full spread meal at Annam, a recent venture by a couple duo, Gujarati in origin, but after staying in Hyderabad for quite a few years have captured the essence and original tastes of Andhra. The spread is served on eco friendly plates.. ie banana leaves, rarely used in Ahmedabad. Food is absolutely fresh and hygenic, home extension. Must try!! 5 stars..

Their variety of rice spread and Hyderabadi Biryani with Salan is absolutely authentic and lipsmaking !!

Ordered breakfast on 24.09.2018. The food was delivered in good time and the quality met more than our expectations. Quite large portions of chutney as well. Would definitely order again.

One of the best and authentic south indian (Andhra) dish available in Ahmedabad. Tried the unlimited thali, literally wasn’t able to walk post lunch. The food not being junk and Being on the healthy side I also didn’t feel the guilt after eating. Keep it up.👌🏽👍🏼

Worth my time and travel. Food was served traditionally on banana leaf and I was instructed on how to eat it correctly. The place is not high on branding efforts, but that's the point. They make good food, simple.

If you are a Andhra food lover, this is the place to go to.. The meals are delicious and lip smacking. The quantity served was generous, with Avial, pappu dal, rasam, chutneys, gun powder ghee and rice. We also had Guntur idli, Rava dosa, wada along with the Poorna meals and filter coffee. Good quality food, served with love and attention. A must try for South Indian food lovers. Don't miss.

Some places don't do fancy... They just do good food. Annam's Andhra Meal is spot on. It's served on a banana leaf... Taste is 10/10 and unlimited amount for Rs. 160. That's value for money. Some people might find it a bit on the spicy side.

Two vegetables, rice, dal, sambar, rasam, onion chutney, tomato pickle, padad, curd and a banana.

As far as I know this is the only place that served a meal (sapad).

The couple who run the place are very warm and welcoming. Hats off.

Had a huge grin on my face at the end of the meal.

Our first visit but definitely not the last.

The best Andhra meals I found in Ahm. Good taste and great care. Dal is very tasty. Price of Andhra meals is a bit high as they hiked the rates recently.

At last search for south indian meals is found.
The meals at 160 is worth the price and served in traditional banana leaf.
The place is small but hygienic and the food is served humbly . The taste of south is good. The sambhar is a bit watery could be improved by making it little thicker.
A must visit place for all south indian food lovers.
