Located in a very new plaza! Limited parking available on the weekends given the number of shops in the plaza. The cute little new restaurant was packed, and many people standing in the waiting area as you walk through the doors. It was quite chaotic without any operational process on how to get a table, order take out, or pick up food. We were seated fairly quickly. There are menus on the table already. The time to order was rather long though. The menu seemed pretty extensive but without pictures which would be nice. Our waiter helped us order, and tried to keep on adding to our order. Overall the dishes were small, and took a very long time to get to us. Other tables around us were waiting for a while also. We do understand it was grand opening weekend, but even with a long kitchen wait felt the staff could be more attentive. Our water was never refilled, yet the staff walked by so many times. Other tables got food even before us although sat after us. When our waiter came back to process our bill, he asked us how everything was with service and food and we were shocked he even asked. We had asked him where our food was, and he never even had came back to answer the question. When our food did come out, one dish came much sooner than the other. He did say sorry at this checkout point, but we were truly disappointed. Hopefully the kinks will be worked out over time. For the time being, there's a lot to refine. read more

Wow, I did not expect to write this review. I went there for lunch with my husband and we ordered lunch thali. The picture speaks a million words. We were satisfied as the service was great and all the items in the thali were too good. PS: The food here is on the spicier side. So if you eat less spicy, you may want to talk to them before hand. read more

It's been a couple of trips for us to the latest addition to the Indian food scene in Dublin. A fresh and uplifting experience from the Milpitas restaurant that used to be our default in the past. Stoked to have this in Dublin now! The ambiance, service, and food are wonderful. They are likely to fall short of seating space as they get busier. Favorites in appetizers - Chicken Lollipop and Mutton Kola Urundai. Delicious chicken that is flavorful and fried to perfection makes the first one our favorite. The mutton meatballs are a contrasting option to the lollipop, it's close to the shami kebab. We also tried the Vanjaram meen fry and the madurai fried chicken, the fish was great only once. Haven't yet tried the thaali, most people get this. Recommend the Parotta with Anjappar Chicken Masala. We didn't like the Nattu Khozi Ghee Roast. The biryani was delicious and different from the usual dum biryani. Do get the Faluda to help calm down all the spices :). read more

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

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

Food: Flavor of the food hits each bit. Excellent authentic food, the taste was exceptional. Food was fresh and the spice level just right for the taste buds. Service: We were provided table quickly, the service attendant was so prompt, took order and got our food in 15 mins. Very kind people at service Ambience: Village home vibe, clean and neat read more

"Anjappar" is a name that matters when it comes to Chettinad cuisine and we have been waiting for this restaurant to open, we checked almost every week since it's next to the Indian grocery store we go to but finally when they opened it was a disappointment that it's not the same chain restaurant as "Anjappar" in Milpitas. Of all the thousands of names available, why pick the same name for such a big chain of restaurants? it was the first day of their opening and we went in and placed an order to-go, just one starter - Chicken 65, they told wait time was 25 - 30 minutes which was understandable since it was opening day. paid 15$ for it even when it was mentioned 14$ on their menu, didn't ask since they were managing a lot of issues on opening day, and paying 15$ for 8 pieces of medium chicken, I don't know if it's worth it. decor are good and friendly service. for the price, I felt the quantity was much less. I wouldn't go back to this place since the taste was just ok and a bit pricy. there are other Chettinad in Pleasanton which is much better tasting and quantity is more and well established.  we just went in for the "Anjappar" name and I'm pretty sure a lot of others also did the same :-) 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

The staff were polite. However, the taste and quality of food didn't meet our expectations. Worst was Seerga rice chicken biryani as shown in the picture there was barely any chicken pieces in it and the ones there were inedible as they were chewy. Biryani tasted stale. Hakka noodles were tasteless and oily, but staff was generous to replace the item. Dosa was just fine. Idiyapam and kothu paratha were good. So overall not a go to place for us. read more

Food was not upto the mark, quantity of sambar was not enough for 2 reva dosas costing 17$ each. The prawns were Very dry. 100$ order was not upto the mark. read more

Disappointing value and portion sizes July 2025 I recently visited Anjappar restaurant with my family for a lunch.The mutton varutha curry didn't meet my expectations and most disappointing part was the presentation. The dish was priced €18.95, the portion size was more akin to a side dish which felt overpriced given the amount of food served. Initially, the curry dishes came with a generous portion of rice, but it seems they've discontinued this practice, which is disappointing given the value it once added. read more

Always have a pleasant experience ordering and picking up. Love the seeraga samba goat biryani and kothu parota. Taste is very standard and you know what to expect. read more

Had delivery' order yesterday and terrible, terrible food!! Every single item was stale!! The Vanjaram Meen Fry, Chicken Lollipop, Chettinad Chicken Masala all three were horrible. Couldn't eat more than 2 bites, trashed them! They were stale and tasteless! read more

Compact restaurant with a beautiful chettinad style interiors. We had veg kizhi parotta, appam with drumstick paya and appam with coconut milk. The food was hot, fresh and authentic. The curries had the right amount of spices, coconut milk did not have any extra added sugars. The tableware were brass and felt authentic. Finally we finished off with amazing paal kozhukattai. Sadly they were out of both elaneer payasam and kavvuni arisi payasam. So we plan to come back. Overall, we really enjoyed and highly recommend. read more

Waited for a long time for this place to open and got to try it today. It was busy given if was weekend. Host told us waiting is 15 mins while in reality it took good 45 mins. Few folks who came after us got a table before us (same party size). Once we got a table and ordered, food arrived fairly in time. But we were very disappointed by the quantities. It seemed like baby portions of curries were served ( i should have read other reviews as they all mention the same). The food wasn't spicy at all, food quality not even close to the Anjappar in south bay (maybe this is not part of the franchise) There was no waiting staff. The 2 hosts were doing pretty much everything - attending front desk, putting people on waitlist, taking customers to their tables, taking orders and take payments. This place is seriously understaffed. Overall, too much excitement before and too much disappointment as we left. No going to visit again read more

Outstanding food, restrained and elegant ambience, attentive and friendly service. We have returned a few times and the quality has been top notch every time. We think this is one of the best South Indian restaurants in the Bay Area. The attention to detail and the unique flavor of each dish speaks to the care taken in the kitchen. I generally order the vegetarian thali and my wife has ordered several chicken and mutton dishes. Each element of the thali is delicious and my wife has enjoyed all the chicken dishes. We will return again whenever we have the hankering for a good South Indian meal. read more

After a long wait of 30 mins we were finally seated , place was crowded on a Sunday lunch . Ordered the non veg meals whic was very authentic south indian taste .

Loved food here, but felt it's too expensive. My fav was Parota and chicken curry. Also enjoyed biryani, which was so fresh and good read more

About 3 months ago I came with my friends and today with my wife to eat lunch here. I believe this place has no customer service in their dictionary. Food is ok, and forget about if any server will come back yo ask you water or how is the food or even if you want to order something more. But they don't forget to charge GRATUITY. I don't mind paying 20% or even more but they need to provide the service first. No more this restaurant. read more

Tried Anjappar and made it just as they were closing. Was kindly accommodated and was even given recommendations as it was my first time ordering there. The Anjappar Chicken masala and rice were delicious. Decided to treat myself to the rice pudding for dessert and so glad I did. It was comforting, sweet, and the perfect end to the meal. Will definitely be back. read more

Pathetic food! Chicken lolipop was fried in some old rotten oil. 4 of us had to run to the toilet 4 times after having the food! Service is tooooo slow ! Had to ask 4 times to get a glass of water ! It's understandable considering they recently opened and are trying to sort out the logistics ! Ambience is ok not great ! Too congested of a space ! read more

Went here on a Sunday afternoon. Restaurant was pretty busy and had to wait for 20 mins.. but the waiting/ check in was very organized. Though compact, the ambience was very nice and restaurant was clean and well maintained. The food came in quick and the silverware was excellent ( hopefully they maintain it in the future too). We had ordered a few appetizers and biryani. The soup was perfect for the winter. The spice level was ok too and not too spicy. Vanjaram fish fry was ok. You cannot go wrong with the Chicken lollipop. Have ordered this a few times for to-go as well. Loved the pal kozhukattai. My only request would be to add a few greens/salad along with the appetizers. read more

We went early in the evening hardly two or three tables was occupied still the service was bad. We ordered the kizhi parota and Chicken meals. Kizhi parota was super spicy even for someone like me who eats moderate level of spice. The chicken curry in the meals was like some tangy sauce and the chicken was definitely not fresh, rest of the items were okay in the meals. We also ordered kola urandai for appetizers, there was hardly any meat flavor in it, tasted more like falafel. Probably our least favorite Anjappars in the Bay Area. read more

i had ordered chicken biryani chennai style on Thursday. I felt the rice was a little soft but did not think a lot and we had our biryani. Next day all 4 of us had food poisoning. I would never go there for food. Please double check before you order at this place. read more

Anjappar opened up recently in Dublin. Their menu is different from the Milpitas location . We have tried their special items in the menu and they are very good . The masala tea is very special and worth a try . You can also do some customization if you can wait . read more

authentic chettinad food. try the chennai biryani and sappadu. staff is kind and the place is well maintained as well.

My hubby and I hit up Anjappar last Saturday. Went for the appams and fish polichetu on the host's suggestion, and wow, no regrets! Top-notch grub, super friendly service, and a spotless atmosphere. read more

Great authentic South Indian food. I highly recommend it. It may be spicy for some people.

Had a great experience, ordered Veg thali and Elaneer payasam and both of them were good, filling and satisfactory. Ambience is excellent compared to other Indian restaurants around Service was also great. I also like the fact that Elaneer payasam was served in a coconut shell which is a special touch to a great dish. Veg thali had everything you expect from thali including chapathi, curry, sambar, dal, rasam, butter milk (spicy), papad and a sweet. read more

Food was just amazing and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Decor and service is very nice. We ordered Chicken dum biryani and Fish meal and both were very tasty. For dessert we ordered Elaneer Payasam and it was just out of the world. read more
