Our story routes back to a little boy spending time in the kitchen watching other people cook and pound some flavourful masalas. With the growing numbers in Konaar mess, grew his growing passion. Mr Anjappan started off with his first restaurant located in Royapettah, Chennai in the year 1964 with the blessings of Sri M G Ramachandran, a well-renowned actor. Starting off with a single outlet to now serving 48 outlets in India and over 35 outlets spread across 25 countries, we are proud to call ourselves the world’s largest chain of Chettinad Restaurants.

Kudos to the team for renovations and a new Dine-In menu! I had the Sri Lankan Red Snapper dish with idiyappam and coconut sambal, my husband has the Veg thali, and we shared the Badam Milk Tres Leches. Everything tasted delicious, and we will come back to try more from their new menu! The staff was very helpful, cheerful and strong hospitality.
We’ve been coming to Anjappar for over 5 years now, and have enjoyed everything we eat here. The restaurant is also usually packed with lots of folks. My husband usually has the Veg Meals and he has loved the variety every single time. I’ve had their veg and non-veg dishes and we keep coming back time and again.

Visited Anjappar recently the ambience was good and the service was attentive, but the food itself felt a bit inconsistent.
✅ Drinks
Rose Milk, Lemon Soda, and Sweet Lassi were all very refreshing and definitely the highlight of the visit.
✅ Good Dishes
Naan and Chicken Gravy were flavorful and well-prepared.
⚖️ Average Dishes
Mutton Biryani was just okay decent but not quite the rich Chettinadu flavor we expected.
Kothu Parotta (Mutton) was also average.
Fish Fry and Pomfret were below expectations and lacked the usual punch of Chettinadu seasoning.
Overall, a mixed experience great ambience and drinks, but the food could use more consistency and stronger authentic flavors.

Had lunch at Anjappar Chettinad Indian Restaurant and tried the popular non-veg thali along with king fish. The flavours were good, simple, and satisfying — authentic Chettinad taste without being too heavy. Nice experience overall, and I’ll definitely return!

I often order take out from this restaurant Santa Clara branch and mostly order same dish everytime as I really like their food. Today I ordered the same dish mutton liver masala and when I opened it smelled weird. It’s definitely not made today. As I have eaten their freshly made one on weekends. Usually there’s a difference in taste which is ordered on weekends and weekdays! Today’s order smelled bad. When my husband called them they didn’t offer any refund or offer to replace with any other thing.
I ate a little bit and understood it’s not smelling good. I should have taken it to them but didn’t have the time! I had to throw the rest away.

This is our absolute favorite spot for a family meal! The Seeraga Samba Biryani is incredible—so fragrant and packed with authentic flavor. We also never leave without ordering the Chicken 65; it’s perfectly spiced and crispy. Most importantly, my kids love visiting every time. It’s a rare win when the whole family is this happy with a meal. Highly recommended!

The food here is very good. The food is cooked and served quickly and hot. The staff is friendly and the music is really nice. They were able to accommodate a shell fish allergy and less spice and oil. We would recommend the ghee dosa, curry leaf chicken and the omelette.
The block also has good parking space available even at busy times.

I ordered chicken basmati rice biryani via uber , quality of biryani was pathetic. Rice was mushy and no taste. I belive they mixed left over biryani, it looked like that to me. I was very disappointed since I regularly order food here and never faced the issue.

We ordered the Dindigul Mutton Biriyani and Boneless Chicken 65 which is my strong suggestion – heavenly South Indian delicacies. My partner and my friends ordered the parotta and basmati chicken Biriyani which was very tasty for someone from Chennai. To end your email order lemon soda (sweet & salt) and a ginger tea. I fell in love with the ginger tea.
I come here regularly for the tea these days
