Description
Annapoorna distinguishes itself from Irvine's other Indian restaurants by
its Indo-Chinese dishes. These are adaptations akin to orange chicken and
broccoli beef-dishes repatriated to fit the palates of the people eating
them, but unlike what P.F. Chang's has done to Americanize Chinese
food, you'll actually want to eat them. Imagine the typical
cornstarch-thickened sauces but made extra garlicky and acidic, fried rice
that's permeated with aromatics, and something called "chilli chicken." This
is food as intensely spiced as it is spicy.
