Namaste and Swagatam (Welcome)
Annapurna is an enchanting Himalayan peak, a magnificent creation, towering over the Pokhara Valley in central Nepal. As its reflection swings with the rhythmic waves of Pokhara’s famous Phewa Tal (lake) a popular hippie hangout since the early 1960s Mt. Annapurna exudes an aura of supreme serenity. To mountaineers and trekkers from all over the world, it is a blissful experience.
To the local people, however, it is a different story. Annapurna is more than a source of local pride and identity with a global appeal; it is a nurturer, the mountain mother. In Sanskrit, Annapurna literally means filled with grains (anna = grains; purna = filled with). She is the goddess of the harvests, the goddess of food and nutrition.
As we serve you with joy and grace to nourish your body and soul, we bring to you the nurturing spirit of mother Annapurna, imbued with a soothing touch of tasty delight and healthy choice. To the people of Nepal, food is as much a cultural experience as it is a source of shakti (energy). In all of this, the singular mission of our service is to offer you balanced meals where moderation is the motto and loving preparation our mantra. And simplicity is our rule.
Welcome to Café Annapurna and we thank you for giving us a chance to serve you!
