2318 Royal Windsor Dr, Oakville, ON L6J 7Y1, Canada
South Indian Vegetarian restaurant
Ordered Madras masala onion dosa and parotha with some curry. Both were really good. Probably the best dosa I have ever tried. I didn't really like the sambar but maybe next time for that. Definitely coming back again!
We visited Annalakshmi for the first time and were thoroughly impressed. The service was great - the staff were friendly, and made me feel very welcome. We ordered the masala dosa, and it did not disappoint! It was perfectly crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. I will definitely be back to try more dishes. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service!
Dear owner, kindly schedule more staff members. They are doing a tremendous job but not you! You have amazing food & staff members but service was slow as only One server was serving 10 tables ( almost 40 guests ). Meghanathan was amazing and he was running like a tornado on the floor. From seating the guests, taking orders, serving and cleaning the tables, everything done with a smile. Coming to food, we tried 4 different kinds of dosas. All were exceptionally good, served with sambhar and three kinds of chutneys. Dosas were crisp & hot. I am coming back again very soon hoping i get to see more servers on the floor. This 5 star is only for the staff members, they are doing great.
Delicious dosas, I can't wait to eat here again. The staff was friendly, helpful and fast. The restaurant is well kept, very clean and has a sink outside the washrooms which is convenient to wash your hands to get started on your meal. 🙂
This is our first time at their Oakville location. Food was awesome and the ambience is good too . The fried rice combo was great and tasted exactly like back home. For $15.99 it was value for money too We enjoyed rava dosa and parotta kurma as well . Service could have been better. We waited a good 15 mins for the waiter to come and take order .Once ordered the food was delivered quick . The garlic parotta had the garlic flavour missing . But these didn’t hamper the experience though. Will definitely visit again .
Delicious southIndian food alert 📢 Every dish we tasted was amazing and delicious 😋. We tried special tiffin 🍱, rava masala dosa 🍛, and Madras coffee ☕. Clean and tasty food 😋, amazing service as well 👍.
Would give them a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating!!! Annalakshmi in Oaksville is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic South Indian cuisine. From the moment you step inside, the ambience transports you straight to South India with its traditional decor and warm atmosphere. The food is outstanding, with every dish bursting with rich, authentic flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. The servers are incredibly responsive and attentive, ensuring that each guest feels welcomed and taken care of. Special mentions to Jo!! Their patience and dedication to providing excellent service enhance the dining experience even more. Whether you're a fan of dosas, idlis, or any other South Indian delicacies, Annalakshmi is the place to be. Highly recommended!
Recent visit on 06/07, tried Jain food, it wasn’t that tasty, don’t recommend jain food in here. Nice ambiance with knowledgeable staff. In regards to food 1. Annalakshmi thali was great, loved the taste of all curries ( rice was very oily though ) 2. Rava Onion dosa, Mysore masala dosa, Poori with kurma all tasted good 3. Gobi 65, didn’t nioy it much, no taste to it just deep fried gobi, won’t recommend this 3. Perugu vada was not that great , vadas are not fresh , frozen ones reheated. Felt all items were little extra oily, otherwise good tasty South Indian food.
Average taste. Chutneys have no taste. Sam had to thick and bland
Vegetarian options: Nice food Food
Thank you for the food, amazing service. Delicious chutneys!
Great Food and Great Service By a South Indian
Chutney, gunpowder portions are a bit low, but the food is very flavorful and delicious. Vegetarian options: amazing
Nice place to have proper south indian food thank you Meganathan for the great service.. Thank you Food
Everything from ambience to food and service was excellent! Food was fresh and delicious.
Best dosa place in oakville
Great food specially the idli sambhar and tomato soup. Great service
Average but 3 stars for prices, very affordable but vada were uncooked from inside, in my own experience. Maybe it was just that date, but overall good place.
Im a truck driver from USA passing through. It was very good. Light on the stomach and unique indian cuisine. Highly recommended.
Meganathan is an amazing person, very friendly and helpful. Good food, good music, great service. We tried Mushroom Biryani and Puri Aloo, highly recommended.
Great place with great food and exceptional service
Was here for dinner and all the dishes were excellent. Joe and Vivek were great and kind to serve us with everything we needed. Great work Joe and Vivek
Excellent service by Joe and team. As usual, amazing food.
It was ok. Ordered mysore masala dosa, idli vada sambar dip, upma, and coffee. But coffee was the winner. Upma was ok, but little bland.
The service and the people here were really nice here! Food was amazing!!
Good food- Dosas were yummy- typical South Indian flavour ..
I was not Dosappointed
Viviak was very good in his service he served fast with respect.
Tasty and Crispy Dosas everytime we go to this location. Best dosas in Mississauga. Great service by Vivek
Food was great, better if they introduce some less spicy options for kids.
My wife & me came over this Branch for Dine in. We are really thrilled and acknowledge the Service done by Kishore and Abhishek. They were really polite, patient and helpful to us. Great team work.
Vivek was fab in serving the food. Food was good.
Our go to place in Oakville. Amazing food and great customer service. For Vivek.
We had three dishes. Chilli Paneer Dosa, Rava Dosa and Rice Rasam. The food was extraordinarily tasty. Dosa was crisp and crunchy. Sambhar is very delicious. Server Vivek was very actively helping us to choose food. He has a charismatic personality. Chutney was unique in taste. I can easily rate this place better than Gurulaxmi. It is a hidden gem. Gurulaxmi is a hyped south Indian restaurant. It is not bad but not extraordinarily better as hyped. Definitely visiting again and recommending friends and family.
It was great
Megan is the best server and person because of him and best food i visited with my family 3rd time . The food is amazing too Food
Finally a great South Indian restaurant west of Mississauga
Best Rava Dosa in Canada. My daughter also thinks that the ghee roast is second to only Saravana Bhavan in Chennai!
The food was delicious. We ordered idli vada combo, Rava masala dosa, Biryani combo and Madras coffee. Everything we tried was full of flavours.
Kurma is delicious
Excellent food and service at a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend. Note: parking is behind the building and the restaurant is busy so plan accordingly.
We are going to this rest for almost more than a year now, and it s the first time we realised the quality and taste has been degraded the way it used to be.. Gave the feedback on the spot too.. Hope they go back to the original flavour
Amazing food and great service by Pradesh and meganathan
Delicious food and Mr.Meganadhan was amazing when it comes to customer service.
The food was so good and authentic. Especially their Podi Dosa. The server Abhishek was so friendly and polite. The only thing Im not really happy about is the wait time, which is a little bit long. Moreover, there was a group of people (customers) they were making loud noise and it was so annoying we couldnt even listen to the songs the restaurant were playing on their music system, I think the management should make sure to keep the ambience quiet and enjoyable.
Superb food and super fast service
Amazing food and best service by meganathan and Joe
The food was piping hot and delicious. Flavours were spot on.The host was kind enough to serve ne even though I was there at closing time. Truly enjoyed my meal
Very authentic
They were very accommodating of our large party, rushed the kids order so they didnt have to wait long and good is very tasty! Love thr puppet dosas and puris.
Fantastic food and mouth watering dosas, idlis, vadas. Even the coffee was good.
Great place for dine in, authentic South Indian food. Become my other staple besides Thulasi. Green chilli paste dosa is a killer.
The dosa and vada didnt taste fresh. Service is good with clean place.
The food here was yummy . I had a great time with my friends, and the staff were friendly and quick to respond. We waited at least 15-20 minutes for the table (why not, food was delicious and everybody was loving it). So I definitely recommend it to you. And yes, it was budget-friendly. You can plan your get to gether here. Im going to visit again.
Do not go to this place. This is 5th time they served spoiled chutney to me. Every time we go and have issues with the food. Most of the reviews are given by Local Guides.
Little pricy but good food and good service.
First time here and loved everything! Food was delicious and tea and ice cream were served in special dishes with great presentation! Highly recommend it. Definitely will come again. Thank u!
food is very tasty
Joe really helped us in and out excellent and exceptional customer service
Best tasting Dosa in GTA. Service, Value and Taste!! All 5 Vegetarian options: South Indian Vegetarian Restaurant!
Authentic food & amazing service
Best south indian food
Recently went to the Oakville location of Annalakshmi and it truly was a great time. The food was fantastic. We were served by Joe and he is one really patient server who took care of our meal that night. Joe was engaging and open to questions. Service really shows the hospitality of a restaurant.
We ordered parota and idly and vada. Everything tastes dry and sub par.
I visited this restaurant on a weekday and it is really pretty and underrated. Food was fresh and delicious along with being affordable.
Yummy food. Ashwin is excellent
100% authentic South Indian restaurant Masala Dosa and Madras Coffee was amazing Bala serviced me he s amazing!!! Food
Tied from work. Did tired dosa with my colleague. It was awesome. Will definitely visit again. Thanks for the amazing service.
Meghanathan was great with his service. Extremely helpful and pleasant despite a busy day at the restaurant.
Very good food and fast service.
I visited this place for a light dinner. ordered 1 Chilly Idli and Mini tiffin. Chilli Idli was okayish in taste it had too much of onions put up in the chilli gravy and just 1 or 2 slits of capsicum so it had more of a onion flavour. Mini tiffin on the other hand was great. it was fresh and tastes amazing with piping hot sambar and 3 types of chutneys and gun power mixed with ghee/oil. and finally called it off with a coffee which was amazing and refreshing. Overall a great experience. Service was on time and really nice. our server Joe asked us on minute details for the food like spice level and when to bring the food. He was calm and confident in his approach. He can be a great asset to the company. Atmosphere was calm, ambience was clean and washrooms were clean and had a good fragrance.
Excellent food! Always clean, the food is nicely prepared. Great environment for family lunch or dinner. Must try rasam soup or rasam with idlis
Food was delicious!
A nice and neat place for the best South Indian dishes. Best South Indian tea in town. Meganathan was too good in customer service .
We go here often. Staffs here are very nice and friendly. Food is also good and if you like typical South Indian food then this is a great place in Oakville.
Not good, Mississauga location is better.
Had our dinner last night in this location,food was exceptional and we enjoyed it very much.Meghanathan and abhishek was very good in service,ensured we were good regularly.GREAT!!
Nice ambience and excellent food.
Friendly service. Waiters knowledgeable. I tried Madras Madala Dosa with Cheese, and enjoyed it. We also had Chetinad cauliflower appetizer - very spicy and tasty. Vegetarian options: Its a vegetarian restaurant.
Good food and great service. It would be nice if they don t serve on plastic / melamine plates and bowls but use stainless steel instead.
Amazing service we ordered three dosa and they searved so quickly. food was delicious and really tasty.
Nice food. Liked Set dosa, mango shake
Amazing food and service! Abhishek is an amazing server.
Awesome Dosa. Authentic Indian food and excellent prices. This place is a oakvilles best kept secret.
Very rude behavior from the restaurant people. The person who was serving yesterday evening dont know how to talk to customer. Very disappointed honestly as we often go to the restaurant almost every week for dosa. Will never visit again for sure. Need some good training by management.
Great service all around, appreciated the servers checking in!
The food is flavor filled and the customer service is beyond compare truly enjoyed my lunch here with family good quantities reasonable prices will recommend and come again
The atmosphere was extremely pleasant, dosa and food was amazing and service was top-notch. The price was also very good, $50 for three people. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
Abhishek was very courteous. Food was great. Rava masala dosa was crispy and tasty
Excellent food , happy to find a place in SE Oakville , very high quality food and the service by Abhishek was outsanding Vegetarian options: Loads - the whole restaurant is vegetarian
Gobi chettinad and mysore dosa was awesome
Had dinner at Anna Lakshmi Oakville. Food was delicious and amazing service by Abhishek
Tasty and authentic South Indian food.
Delicious food. Specially chilli parotta and mini idly. Meganathan deserves a shout out for his amazing service Food : 5/5
I recently visited Annalakshmi Restaurant in Oakville, and it was an unforgettable experience. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a cozy, inviting atmosphere that felt like a little slice of India right in the heart of town. The traditional decor, with beautiful Indian art, added a lovely touch that made the space feel both warm and elegant. The food, however, was the true star of the show. I tried the masala dosa, and it was simply incredible crispy, light, and packed with authentic flavors. The chutneys and sambar that came with it were fresh and bursting with taste, making each bite better than the last. Every dish felt like it was prepared with love and attention to detail, capturing the essence of genuine South Indian cooking. The service was another highlight. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the menu and recommend dishes that suited my tastes. They were more than happy to accommodate dietary preferences, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Annalakshmi isn t just a restaurant; it s a delightful journey into the heart of South Indian cuisine. Whether you re a first-timer or a regular, the warm hospitality and delicious food make every visit special. If you re in Oakville and craving authentic flavors, this place should be at the top of your list. Highly recommended I can t wait to go back!
Food is really crap !! Especially thaali is horrible!! Tried Brampton, Mississauga and this location as well. Not a worth.
We had a very nice experience at this restaurant thanks to the caring and polite staff! Everything tasted amazing, especially the dosas! Its nice to see a pure vegetarian place that is neat and clean and has a great selection of food! Vegetarian options: Fully vegetarian!
Love this place. Love the service there. Boys ate running to prove quick service. Bala is awesome guy!! I would go to this place again and again
This is a best kept secret in Oakville (well, not anymore). Best service (Thank you, Bala). Best Dosas! Very delicious! My favourite is Mint Corriander Dosa. Vadas are perfect. Highly recommend to check it out.
Delicious food and outstanding service. Bala and Abishek took care of our requirements promptly and accurately. Ill certainly recommend Annalakshmi for dining in or take out. Great selection of South Indian food.
Hy we did try the food on this place first time today the food was very very amazing i will definitely visit here next time
Amazing taste, fried rice is a must try for all those craving indian street style fried rice but in a hygienic way. Not to forget their ven Pongal reminded me of my mom. Awesome taste, amazing staff especially Meghanathan- he is very welcoming, kind and is really doing a great job.
Abhishek was so polite and helpful in giving good suggestions. Definitely we will visit again
Crispy, tasty dosa and excellent service!
Dined in yesterday for dinner and the restaurant is almost full still food and service was really awesome. Meganathan was very attentive and cautious with our orders and served us on time. They were literally running and ensured food was served to us in correct time. Worth for wait and great service.
I am a regular to this place. I really like Butter Roast Masala Dosa. I highly recommend to go and try south indian vegetarian food.
Food is good portion size and ambience is good . But it would be great if foodcan be served in steel and not in plastic plates and bowls.
Good Indian food
Delicious rava dosa & idly
Ordered Annalaksmi Thali , Chilli cheese Thosai. First time here. Food was Delicious, fresh. The best in the category. Quality worth the price. Please don t change, maintain this standard that other restaurants should hope to attain. Friendly service. cheers
They have plenty of options for the dosas and other food items. The food was average (3.5/5) as I can find much better South Indian restaurants in Mississauga. Not sure why they use plastic plates, steel plates would be much healthier. The guys working here gave us a good service but after certain time, they stopped coming to us and made us wait almost 15-20 minutes for the bill and take-out containers, I had to remind two different guys, not sure what took them so long!
Could not take pictures of dosa and idly plate but food was super tasty. Looked good in spice level, authentic south Indian style taste. Tried Masala Dosa, Rava masala dosa and idly plate. Parking: Free parking
Had a good uttapam from this place.
I just love their madras coffee and masala dosa. Also tried idly and Vada, Vada was little burnt but I liked the taste. Staff is super friendly. Food
Liked the ambience but the food was average.
Today I had the pleasure of dining at Annalakshmi and I must say, their dosa and sambhar is nothing short of extraordinary. The Masala dosa and Mysore Masala dosa were perfectly crisp on the outside while remaining tender and flavorful on the inside. The sambhar complemented the dosa beautifully, creating a delightful contrast in textures and flavors. If youre a fan of dosas and sambhar or simply in search of outstanding service, I highly recommend. Its a dining experience that will leave you both satisfied and impressed.
We went there today based on the google review and found the food was subpar no taste at all. Sambhar had no salt or sambhar masala even Chutneys were bland with no south indian taste in them. We took their tiffin. Service staff was good and looked after us and food arrived quick. All in all will not ho again.
I like how this place was clean, even at the time of their closing staff treated us nicely. Many options available for dosas. Interior is also great.
Chilly idli is a must try
Best restaurant for vegetarians in Oakville! You can always rely on this place for wonderful food all the time! It has great options and wonderful service, I highly recommend this to any vegetarians looking for a nice place to eat authentic South Indian cuisine! Vegetarian options: Completely vegetarian!
They serve south Indian vegetarian food.
Parking: Free parking Food
Excellent
Good place for South Indian food
Lovely food and welcoming staff
i love this place for the authentic south indian food. my go to dish here is paper butter masala dosa. the taste is absolutely authentic and so delicious.
Annalakshmi has the best South Indian food in the GTA. We have been there several times with friends and family including out-of-towners and they have all consistently loved the delicious food and enjoyed the superb service without exception. It has become our go-to restaurant at least once a week for pickup as well. The service has been consistently par excellence! These days while at most restaurants the cost for a meal is tough to swallow, at Annalakshmi the prices are readily digestible! And for the price you can get a huge crispy dosa with all the delicious fixings that you could ask for! Quite an achievement! A Big Thank you to the staff at Annalakshmi! Keep up this level of affordable, culinary excellence and top-notch service! You rock!
Yesterday was my second dine in experience. The food was very tasty and the menu selection is great! We ordered 4 different dishes to share and they were all aesthetically pleasing and delicious!
Amazing Food very close to the native recipes .. consistency in taste and amazing staff .. politeness and customer service is their priority
A great south Indian vegetarian place to have good food. The reason for deducting a star... 1. Tomato chutney was stale had started to go bad and the green chutney was so so. 2. Filter coffee was not actually filter, but instant madras coffee. Other than the two above the dosa, uttapam, idlis were excellent, coconut chutney was good so was the sambar. The ambiance was good and the staff very courteous and smiling. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian food only
This is the only restaurant I go when I have to eat out. Food is 100 out of 100. There is no rating can justify the professional and friendly staff. Kudos to you guys keep doing that
Recent new South Indian restaurant to Oakville.
Food is good, reasonably priced, and portions are quite generous. Be warned that the chili icons on the menu are no joke--be wary of anything two-alarm or above. Vegetarian options: Its a vegetarian restaurant.
Awesome authentic tamil Nadu taste
The food was good and the service was great. We were served by Bala, he was very prompt with his service.
We tried chilli garlic masala dosa and coffee . It was a nice experience. Must try
Always awesome food and service. Meghnathan is very good and polite. Perfect authentic taste of INDIA.
I visited AnnaLakshmi restaurant in Oakville today.I had crispy butter paper dosa it was so good and so yummy.I recommend this to everybody.moreover the service was so nice.do visit
Food was very delicious. Would recommend dining here.
Food was very delicious
The best parota kurma, Podi idly and South Indian coffee in town. You will fall in love with the food and it will bring back memories. Abishek muralitharan & Kishore were exceptional with their service, they went above & beyond. Even though it was crowded they were calm and composed.
I absolutely loved the dosa here. We had butter garlic masala dosa and veg spring roll dosa. The veg spring roll dosa was really delicious, potatoes weren t too spicy and sambar was delicious too. Kid-friendliness: Kids dosa options are plenty. My kids love cheese masala dosa and the dollar idlis
Delicious South Indian food, good menu options, traditional ambience, service could ve been better
Great place and has awesome service! Meghnathan and Abhishek served us with a smile and were very courteous! Had a wonderful experience
I saw the rating and went to this restaurant. They first messed up my order and brought only half the dishes and realized after 30 minutes that we were waiting for the rest of the orders. Then they served below average meals. The sambhar rice was spoilt and that had to be taken back. They didn t even deduct the price for this.
We were a group of 6 adults and 3 children and absolutely loved their service. Abhishek and the whole team was great and meal was very delicious.
Fast service and great food, must try madras masala dosa with onion. Staff is nice and friendly. Good for vegetarians. Vegetarian options: Looks like veg only as per the menu.
Tried this location with friends, was highly recommended by a local Oakville friend, and this location did not disappoint. I had the specialty paneer dosa, and it tasted so good. Another friend ordered chana puri, and its actually chole bhature size portion. The food came out very quick, it was nice and hot, and the taste was 10 on 10. They charge extra for chutney, and they keep informing extra charge for any additional extras. Chutney portions are a bit low, but the food is very flavorful and delicious. I highly recommend the paneer dosa. Their suji desert is also amazing, Vegetarian options: Paneer dosa
Ordered Idli Vada and kesari halwa. Amazing and authentic South Indian flavour. Servers Bala and Joe provided amazing service. Highly recommended!
Excellent service and delicious food! Definitely worth going out of your culinary comfort zone!
It is an understatement to say that the food was terrible. Some of the vegetables were rotten, the flavours were not authentic and to top it all off, managements indifference was appalling. The rotten food was not credited and no effort was made to rectify the mistakes. Avoid this place if you can, you would be better off cooking at home.
Hidden gem!! Great service, and the food was super fresh. Each item that we ordered tasted delicious. We will definitely come back to try more items. Food : 5/5
Amazing food and service from Meganathan! Mini tiffin, poori aloo and gobi 65 as well as coffee were amazing.
Great food and amazing service!! Highly recommended for dinner. Food
Food is okay. We tried few things: 1 idli 2 vada- tiffin combo: it was okay, the sambar was star of tht dish, the tomoto chutney had a metallic taste. Chilli bhaji plate : was okay, the batter was not completely cooked on some. Briyani Combo: please NEVER opt for it. The rice was SUPER DUPER SALTY. Gobi Manchurian was SWEET. Fried Rice Combo: Gobi Manchurian was sweet. So try for it at your own Risk. We went there is it close to our place and for pure veg exp. But it is nowhere close to Udipi Madras Cafe near square one mall.
Great food, loved their masala Chai. Meganathan was our server, he was very attentive and catering to our needs.
Food was so delicious. Excellent hospitality and hygiene. Love it proper stop for brunch
We were in a hurry and bala (the attendant) Assured us the food will be ready in 5 min and it was. The food, even though prepared in rush had the taste and quality we were looking for. Bala provided top notch service. Recommended. Will visit again.
Fabulous food and great service by Bala! Highly recommended
Love the Idli Samabar, takes me back to those streets of madras. Meghanathan was so helpful and delivered my order precisely.
Great food, most importantly clean and fresh. The ambience could be a little brighter/ livelier.
Very good service. Nice food.
Great food and good service thanks abhishek
Best south Indian food and staff is really amazing and helpful.
One of the best in Toronto. We went for lunch and just loved the food amazing paper roast , breakfast combo with vada and idly. Kothu parotta is amazing
great food
Delicious vegetarian food at a good price.
Value for money
Friendly service, yummy food. Tomato Rice and vegetable Rice nicely done. Vegetarian options: Friendly service, yummy food. Tomato Rice and vegetable Rice nicely done. Food : 5/5 |
Our second time here. I am disappointed to see the portion size of chana that is give with 2 pooris. Its not at all enough and more is charged separately. No complaints with taste and service.
I ve tried far better dosas than this. Sambhar was not good but all chutneys were nice.
The food is just amazing. Best South Indian food in Burlington and Oakville.
Convenient location close to highway exit, good dosa(i)s, poori liked it with channa masala, parotta & chettinad kurma is a good pick too.
Have been there several times now with kids and have always had great experience. Food is always delicious and service very good too. The guy on the front desk also a server is super helpful and kind. Highly recommend!
Delicious authentic food from south India, very wide selection of dosas and other dishes. Quick service and nice atmosphere.
Real taste of South Indian dish in Oakville Canada. Good tasty yummy food guaranteed.
Our go to place for authentic south Indian food.
Had one of the best masala dosa in GTA. I will definitely go again.
I was one of the regular customers of this franchises but since my past few visits food taste is degrading and also started charging for extra chutney.
Fantastic food, amongst the best in west GTA
