Anjappar Chettinad Cuisine offers truly authentic flavors, especially the excellent veg thali platter which was both satisfying and full of traditional taste. The interior is simple yet charming, with a pleasant fragrance and a warm, old school temple town style ambiance that reflects the essence of Tamil Nadu. The service was great, and the staff were attentive and accommodating to our requests. Cleanliness was well maintained, and the traditional style cutlery and serving dishes, including food served on banana leaf, added to the overall experience. The ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful. A must visit spot and definitely one of the best value for money meals around. read more

Friendly folks and delicious food. Clean dining room and bathrooms. I like that it doesn't get super crowded and feels calm inside, which is rare for an indian restaurant :) read more

Ambience is a lot better than most Indian establishments. The fish fry was delicious and so was the chicken 65. The crispy crab was hard to eat since no seafood crackers were provided and didn't want to risk chopping a tooth. The kuthu porotta irself was great, the spice levels were tolerable. read more

I don't eat Indian very often, but when I do, it's a flavor explosion for me. Decided to try this new joint that opened as a recommendation from my neighbor. My buddy told me it gets busy, but on this off peak time that we went, the place was only half full. Got sat and ordered a chicken biryani and one of those bread dishes. Forgot the name. Kinda low key disappointed there was no Kingfisher, but it's fine. I could take a break haha. Food came and the presentation was amazing. Shiny gold dishes, super clean, and very inviting. We looked around and noticed almost everyone was eating with their hands. When in Rome.... found the restrooms and it was nice they had a small sink outside just for washing up. Dug into the food. Holy moly. Favor town! The biryani was so amazing, tons of flavor, but wished they threw in more chicken. It was in this pot that kept going on for days inside. I was impressed. The bread dish was great too for slopping up all the curries. For sure coming back when in the mood. read more

Didn't know about this restaurant chain being so close to my place. We wanted fish, some good biriyani and this one had a good variety of options. The bibiriyani tasted delicious, the strong aroma makes you think it might be loaded with cinnamon n cloves, but that isn't the case once you start eating. The balance of flavor is just right. I can say I've had better Kerala parotta elsewhere. The blend with chicken curry was great. read more

We visited this place based on a friend's suggestion and were warmly welcomed by a very cheerful hostess, Shirisha. She took our order with a smile, which is not very common in such Indian restaurants. We were a party of seven and had to wait for about 10 minutes. This is a cozy place with nice decor--we especially liked the copper plates and cups that were set up. We ordered the mutton thali, veg thali, chicken curry and paratha, seeraga samba natu koli biryani, and the seafood 65. All dishes were very flavorful and on point. We especially loved the chicken biryani, which was the best we've had in a while. read more

Good find - my family have been to this place more than me and wanted to go there this lunch afternoon. We tried; 1) appetizers; seafood platter 2) main; fish thali, parotta with chicken masala, Chennai dum biryani 3) payasam with coconut and vanilla icecream This cuisine comes from southern part of India Great place for non veg items with fewer options for vegetarians. Service is pleasant and quick and nice ambiance overall. Enjoyed all the items including the seafood platter- included crab, fish, shrimp and calamari. The deep fried crab was surprisingly soft and tasty. Definitely coming back again to explore few other items. read more

The ambience is so warm and welcoming .. I really love the decor, reminds me of my grandma's home. Food is excellent, even my toddler eats without fussing. Filter coffee is excellent. Staff are friendly and make the experience pleasant. Take-outs also well packed. This is my go to South Indian food place. read more

I don't know why the reviews are poor. We dined in. Ordered egg dosai, pomfrate fry, and egg kothu paratha. All the dishes taste like authentic South Indian dishes. Egg dosai is amazing, so is kothu paratha. The egg dosai has an inside layer or egg, comes with different chutneys. Kothu paratha comes with a chicken curry filling on the side. The curry tastes very coconut-y. The reason I still think it's five star is because this is someone can ignore if they want. The paratha is delicious by itself. Definitely worth a try. And this is coming from a North Indian person if that motivates someone to try! read more

Liked their fried chicken appetizer and most of their other dishes. Liked their roti with curry. Anything with mutton was delicious.

Authentic South Indian food! Only thing that was a miss was the fish fry but otherwise great! The mutton was nice and soft. The prawns were fresh and spicy. The parotta was yum! It's a smaller spot so you may have to wait but the turn around is pretty quick. Love the South Indian vibe all around felt home like. read more

Nice ambience with traditional interior decor. Service was good except some delays ( well it's understandable) Food was above average but nothing great. We enjoyed the mutton thali, vanjaram fish fry and parotta. They have few combo deals going on we tried egg dosa combo it was okayish but not as expected. We felt it wasn't fresh especially the chicken curry and idiyappam. They replaced the idly though after we complained about how dry it was. Overall it was good but Milpitas branch has great food (We always overeat there :P ) read more

Service was super bad. Food was not at all good . Anjappar Milpitas has set bar really high.

Food was good and spicy- if you like Indian and super like spicy food highly recommend

First time trying southern India cuisine and I love it. The food was awesome. The service needs some help. The waitress was not asking if you need anything or checking up on you. We had to flag her down to ask for more water. The ambiance is nice though. All in all, I do recommend the place. read more

Missing items, hung up on, ignored, and no refund offered: Our experience with Anjappar Chettinad in Dublin, CA was extremely poor. Out of 8 items ordered, 2 were missing, after a long drive to the restaurant in heavy rain. When we called to report the issue, staff hung up on us multiple times. We were told we would receive a callback within 10 minutes, but no one ever called. After that, calls from our phone number were ignored entirely. When we called from a different phone number, the call was answered immediately, which felt deliberate. Mistakes happen, but avoiding customers instead of fixing the problem is unacceptable. Because the restaurant made no attempt to resolve the issue or issue a refund, we will be disputing the charge with our credit card company for the missing items. This reflects extremely poor customer service and management. Based on this experience, we will not be ordering again. read more

Tried this restaurant for a team lunch and they were able to seat us immediately around 12 pm with a party of 12 people. The staff was very attentive whenever we needed anything from helping split up our dishes so it was easier to share or getting extra cutlery. The restaurant wasn't too loud and the decor inside shows off the history of how dishes used to be cooked. Nethili Fish Fry - This dish was coated with lots of spices which packed it with flavor. It was mainly salty and spicy but with the lime added on top, it helped to cut some of the spiciness and added a nice sourness. Parotta - One of the favorites that I tried. The parotta was very flakey, buttery and crisp on the outside. I liked the texture of different layers and it reminded me of a Malaysian roti. It has a mild flavor and paired really well with the curry we ordered for the table. Aappam - Another side that we had which was a thin pancake that's made out of rice batter and coconut milk where the shape comes from the pan it is cooked in. Also had a mild flavor but was a little sweet which made it a little different when eaten with the curry dishes. Pepper Chicken Curry - The chicken was soft and the dish was rich, peppery and spicy. We got a mild spice level for this dish and the flavors still shone through well. Faluda - This dessert surprised me in the best way. It has basil seeds, rice noodles, jellies and ice cream which was very filling but I loved the different textures from the ingredients and how it all tasted together. Some other dishes my coworkers liked were the chicken lollipop and prawn thokku. It was my first time trying southern Indian food and everything was amazing. read more

Been to Anjappar at this location and have never been disappointed. Tried chicken chettinaad and mango fish curry and flavour profile is amazing. Every bite is packed with hint of spices, warmth of ghee and intense flavours! Would recommend trying read more

Came here on a non busy evening found Hair in Chennai biryani take-out. Called them to let them know.

Food is ok. I was super hungry when I walked in and I thought I will have a lasting impression but it didn't live up to expectations. Being a South Indian from Telangana I was expecting food to be spicy but it was disappointing. Overall food is ok. read more

You know you are in an authentic Indian restaurant when you are the only non-Indian there and you are the only person not eating with your fingers. We ordered two curries and a biryani dish. They were good but it was a bit too spicy for me. Next time, we would order a chicken plate instead of two curries. read more

Such a great experience at Anjappar! It was our first time trying out this restaurant and we will definitely come back again. Being a south Indian myself, I can say that their veg saapadu (aka Thai) was one of THE most delicious south Indian meals that I've had in the Bay area in recent times. So perfectly spiced and portioned, the dishes offered a tempting array of flavors, each one distinct and intensely enjoyable, consisting of veg kurma, keerai pappu, kootu, poriyal, rasam, kaara kuzhambu and sambar, along with pickle, sweet, appalam, rice, and the softest chapati to have landed on my taste buds! My brother in law thoroughly enjoyed his fish - and his own words it was finger licking good! The ambience and service was impeccable as well. 5/5. read more

Anjappar is my all time Indian food favorite. It's not just your standard Indian restaurant, it is a spicy and intensely flavorful cuisine from the region of Chettinad. As a Pleasanton native, I used to drive 45 minutes to the Milpitas location, so excited to have this new spot in Dublin that is steps away. If I had to rank the Anjappar Restaurants, it would be Milpitas, Sunnyvale, and then Dublin (also the order in which they opened i believe) . The menu gets shorter as we go down the list, but the signature dishes are offered everywhere. I got takeout from Anjappar Dublin, the classics (Chicken Dum Biryani, Chicken Masala, Chappati) were all great. I did try a new item, the crispy crab kotthu parotta. Sadly nothing was crispy about it and unfortunately the crab portion disappeared in just 2-3 bites. For those who haven't tried kotthu parotta, it is a flaky shredded flatbread. It reminds me of Pad Kee mao in some ways, flat fried carbs with protein, just not saucy and with Indian spices. I ordered from Yelp and it was ready for pickup within 20 minutes even during rush hour. Will be back in person to enjoy the ambiance and fancy utensils. read more

I asked the waiter if they had egg curry thinking maybe I had missed it in the menu. He mentioned although they don't have it in the menu they can do it just like the shrimp curry. It was the most horrible dish I have seen or tasted with a smell of old rotten eggs and looked extremely unappetizing. After one bite we never touched it. In the end was about to pay the bill and told the waiter about the egg and he could easily see it was untouched, he was not curious to even ask what was wrong. And they charged full. Horrible customer service. read more

Tried veg thali, combined thali(veg and non veg). We ordered noodles for my kid and they were very considerate to our adding more veggies in the noodles and less spice. The food itself was very good. The service and ambience was also great. Will definitely visit again. read more

Anjappar is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to in the Bay Area! They offer a wide variety of authentic South Indian dishes at a very reasonable price point. I ordered the podi dosa and it was so crispy and flavorful. I have an allergy to nuts and the staff was very accommodating and switched out one of the chutneys for a nut-free option. I will be coming back! read more

Got food from this place twice in last one month. The food is fresh and flavorful. A bit extra on the spicy level for kids that they need to drink water continuously. It would be great if they cut it down by about 15% in the biriyani and curry dishes similar to Thalapakatti. The ambiance was awesome the interior is well done. The service is average but if they have to give you awesome table service then you need to be ready to pay extra given the current market conditions. For the Ala Carte dishes being around $19 average would be great if they could increase quantity of dishes by 10% to 20%. Recommend keeping the price the same. Bottom line will recommend and visit this place again read more

The only thing good at this place is their uttapam and chutneys. The dosa is mediocre and the sambhar is non edible. It has a weird taste and i have been to this place at least 4-5 times so the sambhar taste has been a constant let down. The staff is really nice and their service is great. The ambiance is nice. The only I keep going back here for is the uttapam which I highly recommend! read more

We tried this new Indian restaurant and enjoyed their spicy, very flavorful food. My boys love meats and we sampled a few dishes and breads. The saucy chicken masala paired perfectly with the aappam. Aappam is made with fermented rice flour which gives it a slightly sour taste. This and its spongy texture made it perfect for soaking up sauce. The boneless mutton roast-aatu kari sukka was spicy and delicious. I could taste the black pepper really enjoyed this dish. The nattu kozhi ghee roast was whole roasted bone in dark chicken pieces. Everything was intensely flavored without feeling overly oily. I can't wait to try more dishes! read more

Unfortunately, forgot to capture pictures of the Signature chicken masala and the goat biryani, as well as our mango lassi drinks. What IS pictured is one of the fish fry starters and the Chicken 65. We almost ordered the anchovy fish fry, and got the other one instead. We probably would've liked to anchovy fish fry better, and the Tawa Fry is the only thing we wouldn't enthusiastically order again. Everyone in our party of four was advised correctly about what to order based on the comfort level with spice that we communicated to our server. Portions as expected. Two decently-hungry adults per main dish was appropriate with the two "small cravings" dishes to round out the meal. Certainly this is a good choice for later night eating in the area. Very little in this part of the Bay Area is open other than fast food, and they were happy to serve us just after 9pm for a sit-down meal. Dining room was lively with other parties, even at this time of night on a Sunday! This was our second time dining here and we would love to go back for a third. It would be good for a date or a family dinner, and both times we went it was a seamless experience with a nice atmosphere and tasteful decor, classy plates and bowls and serving wares, etc. Thanks for the great meal! read more

Thoroughly impressed with the quality of food and service of this restaurant. The Biriyani and chicken lollipop were definitely my fav. The spice level was just perfect. They had great healthy drinks to go with the food. Pomegranate juice was top notch. Thali was great and they had veg and non veg options. Idli / Dosas were super yum. Don't forget to try JigarThanda or the Falooda to finish your meal. Not just the food was exceptional, but the plating, presentation of the dishes was eye pleasing and unlike other Anjappar restaurants in Bay Area. Service was fairly quick and made our dining experience enjoyable. They have a lot of healthy food options Highly recommend this place read more
