Visiting from out of state, and my daughter recommended Apna to me! The butter chicken was amazing...just the right amount of spice! Two thumbs up! read more

What a rip off! 3 pints of Indian food for $50?!? Unbelievable! Oh, and about a pound of rice. And a single piece of naan for $3.50!?! That said, the food itself was delicious!! Unfortunately, I will continue to make it at home rather than be subject to these insanely inflated prices. Shame on you! read more

Apna Kitchen - $50 for three pints of food. - Indian Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The place was small and colourful. The food was good. I've never tried goat before and it wasn't bad. Some pieces were a bit fatty for me, but that's just a personal preference, and it might be a bit spicy for some. The server was nice and the food came out pretty fast. It was pretty good experience overall and I might even go back to try the buffet once I'm more familiar with the dishes. read more

The food is really so good ... dont be afraid to explore the menu ... that's my favorite part of Indian cuisine aside from the music is also learning how to navigate the menu . Rarely ever disappoints. read more

I have only ever Door Dashed there (so far), but every time I go in there it smells phenomenal. They always give me food samples and so far, everything I've tried is amazing! The atmosphere is very comfortable, quiet and family friendly. The staff is very courteous and yet highly efficient. Not only would I highly recommend this place, I can't wait to go and eat there myself! 5 Stars! read more

Excellent service! This is my second time eating here. I recommend the lentil soup, Lamb khorma with basamati rice, egg dosage, Naan, saag paneer, chicken mushroom methi & much more. I'm looking forward to returning to experience more. read more

I love Indian food! I still dream about the Indian food I had on a trip to Boston. We have tried Apna Kitchen on multiple occasions- all of which were delivery orders. We have tried the butter, garlic and Apna special naan all of which have been very good. The naan can be hit or miss though. We have had some naan that was burnt. I usually get the vegetable korma which is packed full of flavor. My only complaint is the vegetables are all large, chunky pieces which is not my style. I do understand that korma is typically made that way though. I usually mix rice in my korma! My husband always gets the vegetable biriyani with extra spice. He loves this dish and really enjoys the extra heat added spice will bring. If you don't enjoy extra spice, I would avoid asking for extra as they don't play around with additional spice! The vegetables samosas are always delicious! You can't go wrong ordering them! There is a dine-in option but we've never dined inside of the restaurant. All-in-all if you enjoy Indian food, you need to try Apna! read more

This was my first time at apnas kitchen and I'm also new to Tennessee. The area seemed a tad bit sketchy to me. But who am I to say. The food was 9/10 but the service is what lacked. I'm not sure if it was because they are all Indian and were nervous because I'm American? Or what? But forgot my tomato soup and never asked if the food was good or if I had any problems. As long as no stomach problems I would go back, I've come to learn living here you need to pick and choose your battles, good food first. read more

Best Indian food in Chattanooga hands-down! We moved from Houston Texas, eight months ago and we have been missing all of the ethnic restaurants there are in Houston. We had tons of Indian restaurants and Apna kitchen is as good as what we got at our favorite Indian restaurants in Houston. We love the chicken tiki masala, chicken korma, and the Kema Samosas. We have always had our food delivered to the house, which is a good 20 minute away. The food always arrives hot and delicious! read more

Some of the best most authentic Indian food I've ever had we eat here all the time the staff are very friendly and the buffet is amazing

No Frills, Just Superb Indian Cuisine! Dining here for lunch was an unexpected delight! Having eaten at a few Indian restaurants, the quality of the ingredients and the commingling of distinct flavors really tantalized the senses and the palate. If we said "Wow" once, we said it a dozen times! I've lived in India and worked there and this place is as good as being there food-wise. We ate the following and EVERY SINGLE DISH was outstanding: Mixed Pakora appetizer (oh my!), Saag Paneer (who knew this vegetarian dish with tofu could be so amazing!) served with perfectly cooked Basmati Rice, Lamb Tikka Masala (with Basmati Rice) (lamb was melt-in-your-mouth good!), Garlic Naan was excellent and ended with light and refreshing rice pudding! We will most definitely return to this impressive Indian restaurant in Chattanooga! Now a top favorite! Hands down!!! Excellent and attentive service! read more

Service was great! We enjoyed everything from the drinks, appetizers, main course & dessert. You have to try the mango lassi it is the BEST!

I went to this Indian place a couple of months ago on my way to visit my sister-in-law. Here is a summary of my experience of this place and its food. -- Ambiance 3.5/5: Nothing great. This looks like a hole-in-the-wall place that resembles a college cafeteria. From outside it looked like small local joint but I was craving for Indian food and wanted to try it. --- Service 4/5: The service was a little slow but the good thing was that they ensured we had things on our table and our table was never empty once it started coming. -- Food 3/5: This is where my major issue is and I did not like some of the taste of it. Here is the summary of what we had: First the good, this is the first Indian restaurant in the USA which serves you free papad. I have never seen this anywhere so this was a delight. Coming on to the food we ordered: 1. Aloo Chana Chaat: The chaat did not have enough yogurt and did not taste good. There was a lot of sour chutneys and not enough sweet chutney to balance it. 2. Gobhi Manchurian: The gobhi Manchurian tasted raw. Once the layer was out you could see raw cauliflower in it. The quantity was low and was pricey as well. 3. Garlic Naan: This was good but one of the costliest naan that we have ever had 4. Gajar Halwa: This is the most disappointing in my opinion. It didn't taste anything like gajar halwa and hat grated coconut pieces in it. I had never seen it before and the taste tasted like nothing. Very disappointing and not recommended at all. -- Value for Money 2/5: I felt that this place was costly for the food taste and ambiance that they had. Overall, not recommended from my end unless you are really craving Indian food and there is nothing nearby plus you have deep pockets. Also Gajar halwa is a big NO here. read more

The Malai Kabab is THE BOMB! Best Indian dish I've eaten and they do it sooo well! Get this! Everything I've eaten at Apna Kitchen is wonderful, no complaints! All the curries, chicken tikka masala, the naan, the roti...it's all good. read more

Everything we had was delicious! Shrimp Pakora, Mango Curry with Lamb, Peshawari Naan, & Chili Garlic Naan. I can't even select one item as a highlight, because they were all so good! And we left with fresh Bengali Sweets! Num num num! read more

I loved this place! The food was super flavorful, and they had many different options to choose from in their buffet. The workers were so kind, always checking up on us and were super talkative. They even recommended us some places to see around Chattanooga since we aren't from here! The restaurant itself was spacious and clean, well decorated and the music was lovely. If we are ever back in the area, we will 100% be visiting again! read more

Very friendly. Samosas were excellent! Fast and friendly service. We ordered the garlic naan, chicken tikki masala and butter chicken. Our favorite was the buffet chicken but both were delicious. You can choose the degree of heat you'd like as well. It was so good!! You must eat here read more

Tried this restaurant for take out for the first time. Overall, very satisfied with the food. The inside looked quite clean and like it would be a nice place to dine in as well. My grubhub order was done within reasonable time and staff were friendly. I had the chicken biryani. Really all good things to say about this. It had all the spices, excellent flavor, decently spicy. If you like it really spicy probably ask for that. It has white meat chicken which was great quality with great flavor. Portion size decent. The raita was also quite good that comes with it. Chicken 65 was standard good. I think it's a little overpriced for what you get, but it is really good. It's probably a little better when dining in. Tikka Masala definitely a reliable entree for anyone. Great flavor, chicken was great, comes with rice. I would say especially if you want biryani, this is the best I've found in Chattanooga. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend. It is slightly more expensive than average but I think the quality of the food makes up for it. read more

Just came here with my baby momma and I can say this is our second time here and got even better we started with entrees and ended up buying the buffet cause my baby momma wanted more. I suggest the cheese naan and the chili naan. read more

10/10 Indian food. Authentic flavors and quality ingredients, quite possibly the best Indian food we've eaten! Everything tasted so fresh, clean and homemade, we enjoyed the veggie samosas, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan which was plenty of food for the two of us. read more

The food was terrible...inedible! I know good Indian food and this was the pits! And it was very expensive! I do not recommend at all!

I've said it once and I'll say it every time; this place never disappoints and is the place to go for Indian food in or around Chattanooga! They've added a lunch buffet that is VERY reasonably priced with fresh food. It wasn't available when we went but I'm looking forward to trying it soon. As a creature of habit, I tend to order what I love. You just can't go wrong with Lamb Vindaloo, cheese naan, garlic naan, and samosas. I get giddy when I go because it the only place I've been that offers complimentary papadums paired with mint chutney and another sweeter sauce. It's so damn good! Service is always prompt, food is piping hot and fresh, and so so delicious. Portions are enough for two people( or one person to have leftovers!) When you're sitting there, belly stuffed with joy, they bring out a complimentary cup of rice pudding with pistachio crumbles. The perfect parking to town down some of the spice. I can't say enough great things about Apna Kitchen but I am thrilled for them to see them thriving , making upgrades to the building , and adding a lunch buffet. If you want good curry, go here. You can't be disappointed. read more

Chicken biryani and hara bhara kabab was delicious. Servers were also very nice. A little out of the way but great Indian food

We tried Apna Kitchen for the first time and will certainly return. Service was quick and dishes explained even down to what spices were used. (lots of ground Coriander and Fennel) Being Plant Based we are always searching for flavorful compliant food and Apna Kitchen provided us with a truly unique meal! The dishes were more than enough and the bread we ordered was hot and flavorful ! We will be back ! read more

Quality food for a reasonable price. They prepared it very quickly and the server was very attentive. The restaurant is exactly what you'd expect on the inside of an Indian kitchen. The server did have a hard time understanding English but was patient and asks me to repeat myself so she knew she heard me correctly. read more

Fabulous food and excellent service! The new lunch buffet is a great addition--such a perfect way to sample different dishes and try something new. Everything I tasted was fresh and flavorful, and the staff made the experience even better. Highly recommend! read more

Being that it had been over a decade since I had eaten Indian, our server, Johnny, was so helpful in our ordering. I informed him that I enjoyed lamb, vegetables and naan, and he knew exactly what to recommend to our utmost approval. He also took us on a lovely tasting of Indian beer that I will not soon forget. If considering Indian, this is your choice!!! Apna Kitchen and our server, Johnny, far exceeded our expectations. We left well satiated and thankful to God for the experience. read more

My husband and I stopped by on the way to our honeymoon in Chattanooga. The chicken korma was top notch! Also loved the mango lassi and shrimp biriyani! Along with great food, the wait staff was very kind and attentive. If we ever come by this area again, we will definitely stop by. read more

Come with a group and order anything and everything that sounds interesting and pass the dishes around - you won't regret it and will learn a lot more about what interesting flavors and textures you like. We have really enjoyed the cold appetizers and lassi. The Chat Pakora is excellent, and their tender eggplant dishes warm your insides like a hug from an old friend you haven't seen in ages. It's nice to have a local Indian restaurant in the heart of East Ridge with so many options. read more

We ordered the tandoori chicken and the lamb kebab. Both were fantastic. Service was good place is really cute.

Everything was delicious! I had the mixed pakora, goat vindaloo, lamb tikka masala, and garlic naan. The mixed pakora was outstanding!! This restaurant is now my go-to for Indian cuisine. The service was also fantastic. read more

Would give 10 stars if I could - driving back from Isha Institute of Inner Sciences in Tennessee after, and stopped on the way back home here to pickup a quick snack. We got harabhara Kabab and masala tea for takeout. Harabhara Kabab was bursting with flavor and masala tea was spot on!! Wish we had time to sit down and explore other menu options read more

The service was wonderful and such a great place to eat. Thank goodness for the service

Excellent Indian food! Found this little gem in East Ridge with my date. So much yummy food! I would have eaten more food if I had the stomach space for it. At least I have leftovers to enjoy later. They are very friendly. Even said they'll give us a discount the next time we come by. I will be telling others of this place. read more

Apna Kitchen - Vegetarian biryani - Indian Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

We love this place. It is a little pricey but we always take home leftovers so we get two meals out of it. The samosas were spicy but still good, extra thankful for the tamarind chutney they provided. We ordered the malai kofta and mushroom mutter and both were awesome! Kitschy decor, kinda fun to reminisce about Pizza Hut's hey day when you're there. Excellent service. Friendly and made sure we had everything we could need. We'll definitely be back. read more

the food was soooo freaking good, my mom and I had never tried Indian food before and our server was amazing! he recommended us some dishes because we had no idea what to get I got the butter chicken masala and rose milk the rose milk tasted like what roses smell like if that makes any sense it was verry pleasant it was so good would recommend splitting the food it is verry filling! I would 1000% recommend this place so good! read more

The Methi Mushroom Chicken was a great choice! My daughter and her husband and I were looking for a place to have a late lunch, and happened up on Apna Kitchen. Certainly authentic Indian food served by a friendly staff Who Brought us tasty, thin bread with two sauces, and water, immediately upon our being seated. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and plan to meat here again when we are in Chattanooga. read more

Apna Kitchen is delicious and I highly recommend! I cannot emphasize enough how good Apna Kitchen is, except to say that it is my new favorite Indian food restaurant. Where does one begin?? I will start with my favorite part, the food......ahhh the fresh tandoori bread, aka naan. Apna's Special Naan, because they do truly have a special naan that did not disappoint. It will be hard to ever waver to order any other tandoori bread because it was so excellent. I ordered the chicken Korma (extra spicy, because I love the heat). They even had extra spice for the side available if you just cannot get enough. Their mint chutney was very good and fresh as well. And the tamarind chutney was delish. Since this was the first visit, my friends also shared their dishes to sample taste the Chicken Tiki Marsala (a classic staple) and the Chicken Methi Mushroom. So much flavor! Next time if I don't get the Chicken Korma again, I will have to try a couple of other favorite "go to" dishes like Saag Paneer or Dal Tadka. For dessert, I got to enjoy the wonderful Kheer. Its a most balanced and deliciously mild, sweet rice pudding. My friends had Mango Lassis that were tasty too. Yum! Finally, can you say amazing rice? Go ahead and say it again. Some of the kiddos got the egg friend rice and I about fell out. Beautiful food and soo flavorful. All the food here was just the best. The staff we kind and did an excellent job as well. Joni was awesome, attentive, and took the best care of our large table. Such an enjoyable dinner experience with all around the best of the best food. Cannot wait to go back! read more
