A Queens Restaurant With a Sunday Buffet
Indian vegetarian cooking opens into a serene spiritual setting, anchored by a weekly tradition.
🌿 Early Vegetarian Roots
Annam Brahma is a Queens vegetarian pioneer with a clear point of view. The restaurant dates to 1971 and ranks among the early vegetarian restaurants in the city, and its name means Food is God in Sanskrit, a phrase that gives the room its spiritual thread.
That history gives the Sunday buffet extra weight for anyone after an Indian vegetarian meal with a calm, rooted feel. A serene atmosphere sets a slower pace, and the vegetarian focus stays front and center on every plate.
The setup stays straightforward. Payment is cash only, and the weekly rhythm is easy to follow. The kitchen opens from 3 PM to 8 PM on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday through Saturday, closes on Wednesday, and runs from 1 PM to 7 PM on Sunday for the buffet crowd. Plan the visit around that Sunday window at 84-43 164th Street.
