OT: New Mira Mesa Indian restaurant

[nostradamus]

I recently wrote that they’re building a new Fresh and Easy store where Bally’s was (at Cam. Santa Fe and MMB). Now I’d like to tell you about a new Indian restaurant called Annapurna that just opened at Cam. Ruiz and MMB (near the Vietnamese grocery store behind the Target plaza). It is very good! They have all the usual dishes plus dosas, idly, biryani, and other stuff I previously had to go all the way to Madras cafe for… Tonight I had idly, mysore masala dosa, chepala pulusu, ras malai, and gajarka halwa. IMO this place blows away Madras cafe and that dosa/fried goodies place near Madras cafe. This place also has Indo-Chine food (they told me a lot of Chinese immigrated to India and this food is the result).

Two other restaurants I recently started eating at in MM are Tem’s BBQ (I believe he is Filipino) and a Vietno-Chine restaurant near Lucky Seafood called something like “Shin ji mien ja”.

Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with these restaurants. Just want to share the “inside scoop” on dining out in Mira Mesa. This town is making me fat!

ND – How’s it compare to ‘Ashoka’, off of Black Mountain Road?

Blows it away IMO. Ashoka has a reasonable buffet and all the standard dishes Americans (like myself) typically enjoy like Tikka Masala, lamb curry, etc. but this new place has stuff not so typical in Indian restaurants in SD.

Go try their dosas. I’m hooked!

Nostradamus, thanks for posting about this restaurant! I went there and had their lunch buffet today, which starts at noon. In terms of quality and variety, I like it much better than Ashoka and Kir.

I noticed the Chinese influence (I’m 2nd-gen Chinese) – there was a dish that almost looked like sweet and sour pork, breaded pork stir-fried with onions, green bell peppers and chiles. It turned out to be breaded cauliflower stir-fried with onions, green bell peppers and chiles, yum!

What looked like the moistest, most tender tandoori chicken I’ve ever seen – turned out to be the moistest, most tender tandoori fish I’ve ever eaten.

Their naan was stacked in a hot tray in the buffet area, not as good as when they walk around and hand out fresh naan – but that’s because they walk around and hand out fresh dosas, in addition to coffee and tea.

I enjoyed it greatly, and now I’m going to enjoy an after-buffet lunch nap.
