Anant Cuisine of India

This is a pretty good restaurant for Indian cuisine in the west end of Richmond, va ( Short pump area). The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is great, the premises are clean and the food is delicious. They offer various levels of spiciness for every meal. The variety allowed for vegans and vegetarians to have a decent selection and not the one or 2 choices most restaurants have. The different dishes we ordered tasted delicious. I'll recommend it to anyone looking for good Indian cuisine in the West end.

It's not often when an entree is so subpar that I would give any more than three stars, but in this case, my amazing host and my appetizers moved me to four stars. The not so good: My lunch entree, Goat Mughlai. It sounded so good. Goat, one of my favorites. A nutty base sauce and some nice spice. Well, let's just say it didn't add up to that. The four bone in pieces couldn't have totaled more than .75 ounces. Not even an once of meat. What's worse while three of the four specs of protein were super tender, the other was like eating rubber. The gravy, while with potential, was the most flavorless thing on the table. That is unless you count the fact that the chef...no thays too strong a word, the new line cook must have seen I ordered it spicy so they threw in raw green chilis at the end. It was really, really bad. So why four stars? 1st, our host was wonderful and helpful. Just a joy of a person. 2nd, the tomato soup was divine. Silky creamy and piping hot. Its rare that I can ever

The ambience is fantastic, the location is well maintained, the staff were courteous, and the meal supplied was incredibly tasty and enticing. Overall, "Best spot to enjoy authentic Indian vegetarian cuisine????” Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes … More
