Anjappar Chettinad Indian Restaurant

A very pleasant surprise! I think maybe the management has changed but we stopped by on a whim and the food was just great. We got the varaval mutton with appams, chicken biryani, lollipop chicken, and a chicken curry. All excellent. Then because the meal had been so good tried the desserts: gulab jamun, the pineapple halwa, and a drink sort of like a thandai. All wonderful. The people were very friendly and though some of the items took a little while to come out, I am more than happy to wait for such good quality and delicious food. The space is very nice as well, the booths very confy and a generally good atmosphere. Felt like 2 happy hours spent back home in India, which is priceless. Thank you!!

This is a yummy dosa place that actually serves meat dishes as well. Most of our dosa places here are vegetarian so this is a pleasant change The service is pretty good and the place is clean and roomy. There are no outdoor tables.The dosas we ordered, podi masala and the onion rava masala, were both tasty. Unfortunately i can't give five stars here because the dosas were not crispy. The bottoms were pretty soggy.

Came here on Sunday around 230 for lunch with my dad. It's a very casual dining spot with plenty of indoor seating. We got the lamb vindaloo, chicken karahi, side of rice, and a garlic naan. The food was good, tasted authentic, and I felt like the portions were decent sizes too. The menu is only available via a QR code and a lot of the items don't have pictures or descriptions which is tricky for someone who isn't as familiar with Indian food - I would encourage them to update this! The service was also pretty slow but the servers were still friendly.

Amazing! The food was amazing! The service was amazing! They stayed open for us right as they were about to close for lunch. The food came out fairly quickly and was so good. The samosa was perfectly crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. The paneer was flavorful. The garlic naan was the perfect amount of garlic and perfectly crispy without being hard or burnt. The restaurant is very clean and bright. Nice spot!

Anjappar is a well known chain restaurant from south India with a big fan following!! It's about time they opened a branch in San Diego. It was our first time here and we were impressed by most things we ordered.Onion Pakoda (Onion Fritters) 5/5 As good as it gets Onion Uttapam (Savory rice and lentil pancake with onions)5/5 As good as it getsIdiyapam with Veg Kurma (Steamed rice noodle cake with side of vegetable curry) 5/5 Definitely a must! This dish is only served at a select few restaurants, not to be missed. Veg Koththu Parotta (Chopped up bread sautéed with vegetable and spice) 3/5 Even though this sounds delicious, I thought it was on the bland side. This was the one not so great dish I ordered. Maybe I had to eat it with a side, not sure. Definitely give Anjappar a try if you are looking for Indian food that is different from the usual Samosa/Naan/Butter Chicken !

We recently tried the nethilli fry, Ceylon mutton paratha and mutton thaali... all great choices.

Not sure why anyone would go here. We've tried this place a few times (mostly cause my work orders food from here occasionally). My take on this place is food is underwhelming. Sauces have has that low quality taste and texture to team. How do you make bad chutney? To make matters worse the service is terrible. I see people waiting around forever for their orders. People here are rude. No point in going here at all. Unless you just want to torture yourself.

It might be unfair because my last biryani was in india, but this was not that great. And, it's really expensive for what it is.

Pomfret Thava fry was excellentFish was fresh and crispy with right amount of spices and masala

Had the pepper chicken. It was so good. I will Sh they had this type of food where I live
