The idly was served with chicken curry, which was optional, and priced at around eight dollars—well worth the money. We also ordered the house-special chicken fry, which was excellent and highly customizable. The third dish we tried was the Dindigul mutton biryani; the mutton was perfectly cooked, and the rice had an excellent texture.
I also tasted the veg meal, and every item was prepared and served with great care. Although they say portions are limited, they generously offer extra curries. I had ordered only one curry, but they pleasantly surprised us by serving chapati as well.
The manager, Vijay Kesavallu was extremely welcoming, and the hospitality was outstanding. The service style and attention to detail were impressive, and manager even offered us an additional discount.
Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place for its excellent food quality, fair pricing, and warm hospitality.

Good food and great ambience!
Loved the new decor and ambience. Food was delicious although on the pricier side.
Tried Chicken Lollipop, cooked perfectly. It had red food colour but much less compared to other Indian restaurants nearby where chicken lollipop is extremely red in colour.
Anjappar chicken dry was extremely good and best dish we ate.
Kozhi Rasam was decent, bit on the spicier side.
Parotta with chicken curry was decent.

This was our first visit to Anjappar Chettinad Elite and were pleasantly surprised! The food was not only delicious but also fresh! Vijay, the manager was very warm and hospitable. All I wanted to eat on my birthday was fish fry, rasam rice and I ended up eating vanjaram fish fry along with non veg thali. What I loved about the thali was, no paneer or North Indian items. Purely Tamilnadu specialties. My husband had ambur biryani and it was delicious too. I loved the food so much that my friends are taking me out to dinner tonight and guess where I want to eat……

Food was just okay, nothing special. We ordered **Kothukari Kola**, but it was filled with chickpeas instead of meat, which was very disappointing and a complete waste of money. Another item, **Kozhi Rasam**, tasted like hot water with just a couple of pieces of chicken and wasn’t good at all.
The only good thing during my visit was the **Dindigul Mutton Biryani**. Although it had many bone pieces, the rice itself tasted good. Overall, the experience could have been much better.

This was my first time dining in, though I’ve ordered takeout from here a few times before. The restaurant has a nice ambience, with lively music – though the overall noise level can get a bit high. Chettinad cuisine has a distinct character, and I really enjoy the bold flavors this place offers. The menu is short and straightforward, but I do wish they brought back more dishes from their previous location.
Parking can be a bit challenging during peak hours.
Overall, definitely a restaurant I’ll be returning to!

Since it’s a soft launch the menu is limited. Lot of scope for improvement in biryani flavor. Not like the one we get n Chennai. Also the side of raitha is not as thick as it’s supposed to be. Chicken65 was good. Did not like kothu parota. Biryani was ok.

Good Biryani, Poor Service, and Uncomfortable Dining Experience
Visited Anjappar Chettinad Elite – Irving recently. The restaurant is easy to spot with decent parking, and the interior décor is nice. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill after that.
Food:
Egg Kothu Parotta: Very disappointing. It was overly mushy, and the parotta flavor and texture were completely lost.
Dungigal Mutton Biryani: This was the only standout dish. The taste was excellent and paired well with the raita, but there was very little meat and too many bones.
Dosa: Just okay, nothing memorable.
Jigarthanda: Not good at all. It wasn’t sweet enough, and the ice cream didn’t complement the drink.
Serving & Comfort Issues:
The food was served extremely hot, making it difficult to serve ourselves. The parotta came in a handled dish, but even the handle was too hot to hold. The biryani was served in a vessel without handles, which made it uncomfortable and unsafe to handle. Overall, the serving dishes were not practical for dining.
The table we were seated at was a round table, and either it was too clumsy or simply too large to manage. Reaching items placed on the other end of the table was very difficult.
Service & Management:
Service was dead slow. Food came out with long gaps between items, and even getting the check took forever. The staff seemed busy cleaning plates and tables and forgot to check on us. There was no coordination at all some items were forgotten entirely.
We ordered Jigarthanda, which was delayed and poorly prepared. While we were seated, a person in the lobby mentioned he had been waiting a long time for his parcel order, and even after that, it still took another 10 minutes to hand it over. This clearly shows poor management and lack of coordination.
Other Issues:
Food was served on plastic plates with only one spoon. At the very least, a fork should be provided eating with just one spoon is inconvenient.
Google Maps lists the place as “Elite,” but the restaurant board does not, which was confusing.
The menu card looked cheap, laminated, dirty, and worn out.
No basic soup options for kids and no idly only dosa.
Overall:
I truly didn’t like the experience. Apart from the biryani’s taste, everything else felt unorganized and uncomfortable. Maybe worth visiting only for the biryani, but definitely not for the service or overall dining experience.

Tried Kozhi rasam, Parotta, shrimp noodles , chennai style chicken Briyani and coffee.Place was neat and staff was good. The food is nothing like real Anjappar taste. While we were able to have the items ordered, the chennai style biriyani was a total disappointment. It’s nothing like chennai style and was clearly dry and reheated. Everything had extra oil in it. Not worth the elite tag price. Would love to pay if the taste improves to be authentic.

I was very impressed by the entire experience. The outside looks deceptively simple, but once inside things changed. The main doors open into a lobby and not right into the dining hall. There the manager Vijay welcomed me. I chose a vegetarian combination thali. The presentation, hygiene, portion, and quality was the best I have seen in any Indian restaurant in Dallas. I couldn’t finish my thali (tray).

I recently tried the Mutton Kulambu and Chettinad Chicken Varuval to go. The flavors were decent, but the spice level was far from what I requested. Even though I clearly mentioned I wanted the food mild, the Chicken Varuval was extremely spicy with lots of red chilies. It completely overpowered the taste.
The Mutton Kulambu was flavorful but could have been a bit richer and better balanced.
As the name say “Elite,” I was hoping for a more refined experience, but the high pricing didn’t quite match the quality.
UPDATE : Dec 2025
I am reducing the rating further after my recent experience on Non Veg Thali. Very few items stood out was Keerai Kootu, white rice(reason is perfectly cooked) and rasam. As usual all the curries were too much spicy to the point where authentic Chettinad flavors were completely lost. The biggest let down was Chapathi, which raised was it worth so called Elite not sure whether it was prepared by chef or someone unfamiliar in cooking? Overall it was a major miss, I hope restaurant needs to bring back the quality and authenticity!
