Annapurna was opened in 1974, by Shivaram & Devavira two students of Sri Chinmoy from Toronto.
It is now the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Ontario. It is renowned for its peaceful and welcoming atmosphere and its excellent range of healthy gastronomic delights.
Anna Purna
Annapūrṇā is a Sanskrit name which literally means “full of food” (feminine form), but is normally translated as Goddess of the Harvests. In Hinduism, Annapurna is a goddess of fertility and agriculture and an avatar of Durga.

As a student of Sri Chinmoy, I have worked at Annapurna for the past 24 years. I have grown
spiritually and look upon this experience as
live-changing and a great opportunity for my
spiritual advancement.
