What people say, in short
Sree Annapoorna, the long-standing vegetarian chain with outlets across Coimbatore (this listing is the RS Puram restaurant), is the name people raise most, and it splits opinion. Many still recommend it, praising the filling thali with free refills, the filter coffee, and food one regular finds more delicate and subtle than rival Anandhaas; one commenter's go-to order is sambar vadai, ghee masala dosa and coffee, and another says it never goes wrong for taking parents out. Almost as many warn that quality has slipped in recent years, with complaints of sour dosa batter, average sambar, smaller portions and indifferent service at some branches; one feels it now trades on its name, and another calls it overrated. Expect it to vary across visits and branches.
