History

Established in 2002.

When nature and organic foods meet in the heart of New Mexico! When I opened Annapurna Ayurvedic Cuisine and Chai House 10 years ago, I made a commitment to serve food as simple as possible from the earth just as nature intended and as prescribed in the Ayurvedic tradition. I am glad that I have adhered to that commitment through the last 7 years with the opening of 4 restaurants and finally settling on 3 locations in 2 different cities in the State of New Mexico. People were skeptical about a vegetarian restaurant being successful, and an Ayurvedic one at that. I knew I was doing the right thing, because people were looking for this kind of food, but did not know where to find it, or how to cook it for themselves. My restaurants have surprised me in the kinds of people dining every day.

Meet the Business Owner

Yashoda N.

Business Owner

My career as a Certified Public Accountant brought me to live in Albuquerque 15 years ago. I was forced to cook for myself as there were no vegetarian restaurants that catered to my strict vegetarian lifestyle. My real cooking test came when I first had to cook for visiting gurus and monks from India passing through New Mexico on their Spiritual tours throughout the US. What I perceived to be challenges was received with gratitude by the monks and gurus who kept showing up at my doorstep. To meet this demand for my food, I set out to make this task easier for myself by visiting farmers markets for organic produce and consistent supply. I was learning everything about local produce and the variety available. As my cooking reputation spread, I was confident I could start a home/​office/​yoga studio delivery service out of my kitchen in my home. My small group of customers relied on my food service to help them to get through their days at work, school, etc.
