Annapurna Simply Vegetarian does double duty as a counter-service restaurant and a small Indian grocery store, the kind of combination that only really makes sense on a strip like Devon Avenue where the whole neighborhood is built around Indian and Pakistani food culture.

South Indian dosas and Gujarati thalis at a budget-friendly restaurant-and-grocery combo on Devon Avenue

The menu runs wide across the subcontinent's vegetarian traditions: South Indian masala dosa, idli, and vada sit alongside Gujarati thalis, chole bhature, and chaat, plus vegetable platters like malai kofta and bhindi masala for anyone wanting a fuller sit-down plate. It's genuinely cheap, too — a Gadling feature once highlighted the restaurant as a place you could eat well in Chicago for well under five dollars, and that value-forward reputation has held up. The grocery side stocks Thumbs Up soda and cassata ice cream among other imported staples, so a meal here can turn into a small shopping trip without much extra effort.

The dining room is small and fills up fast during the weekend lunch rush, so showing up outside peak hours is the move if you want a table rather than a wait. The business has grown enough to open a second location in suburban Hoffman Estates, but this original Devon Avenue spot remains the one with the neighborhood cachet — a reliable, no-frills vegetarian stop on one of the city's most distinctive culinary strips.
