    Annalakshmi proves you don't need meat when you know how to cook vegetables right. The food leans a bit salty, and I'd skip the biryani, but the dosas and vada? Fantastic. Well-made, full of flavor, and totally satisfying.

    Annalakshmi Thaali

    I was craving the Annalakshmi Thaali on a cold day. Dropped in and it was pretty busy. Service is always friendly. They have a lot of seating and it was busy. Food was good. I always enjoy the combination of different dishes that come in this thaali. Try it. You'd have to take some part of it home.

    This has become my go to restaurant and I have had several positive experience with the different things I have ordered over the time. Some of my favourites are: Rasam, Chettinad Mushroom Fry and Chettinad Dosa. It's always busy and they don't hold reservations so it's a but chaotic to grab a table but it's worth for the food they serve here.

    Best meal yet in Toronto. If you're inclined to Indian or vegetarian, highly recommend. The dosas are a must.

    This place was really popular so we stopped by for dinner. Overall the food was okay, it is probably an acquired taste that I'm not used to. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either and the staff wasn't all too friendly. We didn't feel great after and my boyfriend ended up with food poisoning..

    Rasam (vegan)
    Matt B.

    Middle-of-the-road all veggie south Indian, but staff aren't all that knowledgeable about what's vegan. I stopped in looking for a quick dinner, and quick it was. Their menu is all South Indian, with lots of types of dosa, uthappam, idli and more. I got their Rasam ($6 plus tax) soup to start, a simple, spicy lentil soup that wasn't all that impressive. If I had known that their main meals come with unlimited sambar, I wouldn't have ordered this - oh well. For my main, I got a Mix veg Uthappam ($14 plus tax), a fried rice pancake served with sambar and 3 dipping sauces. Not all that flavourful but certainly very filling. Friendly service but not all that clear about what's vegan. Decent spot but I wouldn't rush back.

    Delicious Dosa! I'll be back for more. Also affordable and great location king west.

    Good ambiance Decent service good Dosai The mini tiffin is a hit or miss Hard vadai, ok sambar and chutneys. May be I should avoid the morning visits.

    Def one of my fav south Indian spots in the city, was introduced to this spot by a friend and I really like the fact that it's a huge menu and reasonably priced. I've tried their chilli garlic dosa and their sambhar rice and I loved them both, the portions were huge and the dishes were very flavourful. The service is always very smooth and fast as well!

    I'm always excited to find good South Indian food, and Annalakshmi has been one of my go-tos during the pandemic. They deliver consistently good vegetarian South Indian food. I've tried several things on their menu since I order from them so often, and they've been great. The Idly, Vada, Dosa, and the accompanying sambar & chutneys are all great. The Madras fried rice is a tad spicy but flavorful. Even the Thali / meals are pretty good. Their buttermilk (mor) is a great savory beverage to wash it all down - most other Indian restaurants add way too much cumin that ruin it, but not Annalakshmi. For something sweet, the mango milkshake is very good, they also have kulfis, and a decent rose milk that reminds me of Madras summers. Overall, super pleased with the consistent authentic flavors.

    'Mysore' masala dosa

    Poor food and even worse service. Ordered Mysore masala dosa and served Masala dosa while trying to convince 3 Indians that this was actually Mysore Masala dosa. Please check and confirm in what world is this Mysore Masala dosa

The storefront is in a underground food court in Torontos' financial district. It's quite clean, small, but efficient. I ordered the 3 piece vegan wings (everything here is plant based FYI) and an Asian Fusion bowl. The employee taking my order was very friendly and quick. Got my number to wait for and within 5 minutes I was on my way. Good service. However my first thing I tried after I got back to my hotel I ate the wings. Holy sodium. Almost like eating straight salt. The wings were way too salty even before dipping them in the Frank's wing sauce. Almost inedible salty for me. Minus two stars for that. The Asian Fusion bowl wasn't as salty, but still pretty strong bit of sodium. The veggies were tasty, my protein choice which was tempeh which was cooked and seasoned well. Overall not bad, but maybe let natural flavors come out in the food instead of turning towards tons of salt.

I actually preferred this restaurant over another go-to vegan restaurant we frequent with similar ambiance. The Service: The service was really good.

We made a reservation (highly recommended) which they were able to pull up since we got there 30 minutes early and starving. The entire restaurant had a beautiful, high end vibe without prices being too high for its own good. We started off with their delicious Bang Bang Broccoli and Kimchi Chick'n Baus, both of which I'd easily come back for more if this was a buffet line. The bang bang sauce was absolutely sensational and we dipped our tasty baos in it afterwards. For our mains, we divided up their Volcano Roll, Kelp Caesar Salad, and a Hawaiian Pizza. The roll was alright (I've had better at vegan sushi restaurants) but the salad and pizza were both extraordinary. In particular, the salad sent me and was a complete flavor and texture bomb. Highly recommend everyone getting this to share as it was an absolute standout. As much as we wanted room for dessert, our hunger was just too much from not eating all day. Everything here definitely hit the spot and would definitely return again the next time I'm in Toronto.

The place was small and I almost missed the sign! When we entered, an older gentleman greeted us warmly and took us to a seat at the back.

Going there on an early weekday evening, the place was fairly quiet and we received exceptionally warm service from the owner. The ambiance was muted and elegant, despite being a small space. I ordered the eggplant bharta, which turned out to be one of the best I've ever had. The smoky flavour of the eggplant blended exquisitely with the various spices - I also loved that the texture was slightly more chunky than usual. I could tell that they definitely toned down the heat a little, which I appreciated - just make sure to let them know if you prefer otherwise. My friend enjoyed her paneer dish very much as well, and in fact was so impressed by the restaurant (or maybe was hallucinating) that she swore the water was somehow special as it tasted sweet...spoiler, it was just tap water.
