So good, but not your average Indian food. It is more southern in its cuisine, and the usual that we have is Northern according to theis restaurant. it has become our tradition to go to this restaurant. The food excellent, and the service is very good. Love the atmosphere, and it is a great location.

I love Tamil food! Every time I've gone to Anjappar alone or with friends or with family the food has been sooo good. I've had their butter chicken, vegetarian Thalis, lamb curry with coconut milk (and naans of course!), dessert and awesome drinks. I'd like to add that their butter chicken etc seems healthier than the many other restaurants around the block. Waiters are great.

This is an excellent South Indian restaurant. We had a delivery order that came quickly, and was well packed. Portions were generous, and the price was reasonable. We had Seeraga Samba Mutton Biryani, Kullpaniyaram, Vegetable Kuruma Curry, Masala Dosa, Appam, Nattukozi Masala Curry, Payasam and a Mango Lassie. The mutton biryani was delicious with nice boneless soft pieces of meat. The masala dosa came crispy with nicely seasoned potatoes inside. The vegetable kuruma curry had some hot spice but not too much. The appam was deliciously toasty on the outside and soft on the inside with flavorful dipping sauces. The mango lassie was thick and as if a sweet dessert. We enjoyed the meal thoroughly. Highly recommended for authentic South Indian food. Unfortunately, for thali's, one must dine inside.

In short, it's all about the food. You're not coming for the ambiance -- the lights are a bit too bright and LED, the placemats are a little long in the tooth, and for some reason there is a TV that just cycles through pictures of menu items. None of that matters, you're here for the food. The curries are packed with spices, not necessarily spicy unless intended, but it's always a delight to bite into a whole cardamom pod and know that real ingredients went into a dish. The dosas are large, crisp and accompaniments very tasty. The parotta is delicious and has just the right congealed texture (I genuinely mean this in the best way). All washed down with a Kingfisher? Nothing better. Service was great. We were a little late to our reservation but the staff was very accommodating and kind. They gave great recommendations too. If you can look past the lighting, you're in for a treat.

Been here once before and remember their crab masala was delicious so 4 years later we're back! When walking in we were greeted right away and taken to an open table. There is a QR code to scan for the menu and someone came shortly to take our order. We started with a mango lassi which was delicious and very refreshing. We ordered the crab masala, mutton sukka masala, and garlic naan. Both dishes came with rice automatically. Everything was delicious! Mutton came with lots of pieces and was cooked well. The mutton sukka also only has boneless pieces. The garlic naan was fresh and soft, and the crab masala was definitely the star of the meal. So flavorful and delicious curry too. The crab comes whole so you'll have to know how to break and pull the meat out, but all part of the experience. Overall we had a great meal here and had enough to take home for leftovers. Can't wait to come back!
