Anjappar Authentic Indian Restaurant

We were visiting family here in Raleigh and decided to give this place a try. A big PLUS - they are serving buffet. Another PLUS - they have outdoor seating. It was perfect for a fall day, to sit outside and eat your favorite comfort food.We loved chicken and fish appetizers - fried chicken and fried fish were crisp yet flavorful. Tandoori chicken was tender, and full of flavor. I also enjoyed gobi 65 - so yum!In main course I enjoyed chole-bhature. Chicken biryani was okay. Lamb curry was okay too - lamb was a little too over cooked for my taste. Disappointed with live dosa - it was soft/soggy from the second it came off the tava. And no one likes soggy dosa. Desserts were tasty and it was good to see variety. Chutneys were tasty too as well as my favorite curd rice - alone of the best I had in restaurant lately. Our server Anthony was the sweetest - he was courteous, polite and prompt. Overall a great restaurant and I will be back.

amazing food here. i've dined in once before and had the masala dosa, which was really good. the space is nice and cozy as well.last week, i got takeout: the ennai kathirikkai kulambu (eggplant in tamarind sauce), malabar parotta, medu vada, and rasam. everything was absolutely delicious, and the price is shockingly reasonable considering how much an entree goes for at the many other indian restaurants in the area. anjappar is definitely one of my favorite spots! i can't wait to go back :)

My friends and I came to try the lunch buffet on a Sunday afternoon. I could not find the price anywhere online, but I called ahead and found out it was $23.99 per person, which I thought was fair. The restaurant was very crowded and there were no tables inside, so we decided to sit outside. It was extremely hot/humid so maybe this wasn't the best choice, but we were hungry. In terms of service, there was not much provided. Once we were seated we were given utensils and water, but there was not much waiter service outside of that. The buffet had a lot of meat dishes but there were a few vegetarian options as well. I'm not well versed in Indian food, but there seemed to be a good selection overall, and I enjoyed almost everything I tried. I thought the naan was exceptional! - one of the best I've ever had. My favorite dish ended up being the tandoori grilled fish because it was cooked perfectly and had so much flavor. I will for sure be back sometime to try their other menu options!

I order online from this spot via DoorDash and have always been pleasantly surprised with the food. The curries are flavorful and generously portioned. The prices are some of the best I've seen for Indian food in this area. My one nitpick is that the naan is not my favorite, but overall a very solid spot for some good Indian food!

Dining at anjappar was such a pleasant experience. They have a nice outdoor area, and the decor inside is so nice too. The staff is super friendly, funny And welcoming. We were helped out right away and they kept checking on us throughout and making sure that my daughter ate her food ! Om cracked us up . The food was so delicious and perfectly seasoned, the mixed vegetables pakoda and the Indian street style noodles were one of the best I have ever had. Over all 5 .

One of the best Indian restaurants in the area.Been 3 times and each time was a 5/5 experience. I've ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, dosa, gobi manchurian, and naan across my visits.Food is hot and fresh and naans are soft and pillowy. Dosas are huge and flavorful.What sets it apart is the staff. Very friendly and personable. This establishment is always full of patrons even on random days of the week

Once a year they serve an Indian-wedding style lunch on banana leaves. You have to eat with your hands, as well. It is a unique, traditional experience! The food is spicy but tasty. My family and I had a great time. The servers apparently worked late into the night and came early in the morning 4 am to set everything up. They brought a lot of enthusiasm and care into the food. In addition to this event, they have a good lunch buffet on the weekends! Great staff and food!

Best Indian food I've ever had!!! We ordered the butter chicken (medium, really not too spicy at all. It was perfect) and our waiter recommended the chicken shahi korma because we were debating between chicken tikka masala and butter chicken for the second dish, and he said the shahi korma was a perfect mix of both. It was great to try something new!!! Overall, service was amazing and the food was even better. Paired with butter naan and mango lassi, our meal couldn't have been better.

One of the best places to eat! Ambiance was very nice but sometimes a bit crowded but should be fine if you have a table reserved. Food was even better especially the fresh fish they fry right outside.

Beware of the sanitation issuesI have eaten a lot of times in Anjappar and always liked their food. But yesterday, when we ordered Kheema Biryani, we found a dead cockroach after going home. You can see the roach on the top left of the plate at home. We are never going back to Anjappr again. This is my second review on this restaurant. And it's very sad that the restaurant can't take care of sanitation issues.
