  Anikri is a fantastic place for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Indian flavors with a lively dining experience. The food is rich, comforting, and prepared with traditional spices. The egg curry was a standout—perfectly cooked eggs simmered in a deeply flavorful gravy …..It felt homemade yet bold and satisfying. The crab curry was equally impressive, featuring fresh, tender crab cooked in a beautifully well balanced spices paired perfectly with hot rice . The live stations on every Friday night is a big highlight, serving hot, crispy dosas made to order with great texture and flavor , Also their kottu parotta prepared live is another crowd favorite—freshly chopped, perfectly seasoned, and full of authentic South Indian taste. They also offer Indo-Chinese dishes during the Friday night live station, which are cooked fresh and add great variety to the menu. Overall, Anikri delivers excellent food, authentic flavors, and a fun live-station experience. Highly recommended—especially on Friday nights for the live dosa, kottu parotta, and Chinese selections.

  I’ve been coming here since the day it opened. The food is truly authentic, the service is always great, and it’s become my go-to spot. I still order from here at least once or twice a week. The owners are wonderful, and this is hands down the best Indian food in the area.

  Anikiri foods is one of the Best Places for Indian food. In the first place, Anikiri welcome you with cleanly and feel good environment. I am a vegetarian and I have been there to this place multiple times with my family. I worry about cross contamination in the restaurant but I don’t have any fear in Anikiri as the chef always respect and ensures no contamination. I surprised how chef makes her kitchen and environment so clean and welcoming always. Thanks for maintaining such a welcoming Environment. Talking about food, Wow Wow.. Rice, Rotis and veg curries so tasty, mild and not too much This food never elevate my gastric issue. Thanks again for maintaining high quality. I am a big fan of delicious Dosa and Aappam. I always look forward for . I know it’s not so easy to maintain everything.. I love Anikiri for its cleanliness and the food ..

  I'm so glad I found this spot during my annual trip OC! They serve some of the best Indian food with a focused menu that rotates every day, giving you reason to come back over and over to try everything that they offer. Not sure what you want? Chef Sangeetha makes you feel welcome as soon as you enter the store, offering samples to any new face that walks in or anyone who seems unsure of what they'd like to order. It's clear that she has a lot of pride in what she puts out. All recipes are her own/are passed down from her family and the taste & quality speaks for itself. On my first visit, my partner and I dined in for lunch on a Sunday and got two lunch plates; the food was so good that we were tempted to take an a-la-carte order of curry to-go even though I had planned an extensive food list for the rest of my trip. While I managed to hold off the first time, we actually came back a few days later craving some more Butter Chicken which rotated back onto the menu later in the week on Friday LOL. When we came in on Friday around 4:00 PM we saw a tent and seats setup outside the store front. Curious, we asked Chef Sangeetha if there had just been a catering event or a party that happened. That's when we learned that they sometimes host live cooking events of Friday nights from 5:30 PM - 10:00 PM where a chef will cook a rotating dish to-order right in front of you. That night, they were hosting an event and serving Kothu Parotta with veg/egg/chicken options, something I or my partner had never seen or heard of before but our interest was piqued. We decided to leave and came back around 6:00 PM for the live event and are so glad we made that decision. The Chicken Kothu Parotta was unlike any other Indian dish we had had before. It had addictive texture, almost risotto like, along with a strong fragrance and burst of flavors from the smoky wok hei, freshness from herbs, spices, raw onions, & tomatoes, and bright raita. All the flavors danced together in harmony. I encourage everyone to stop by and support this small business, especially during their live event nights. Follow their IG to see when these are happening and what the featured dish of the evening is. If you attend, come early before the line forms. Since each dish is cooked live and made to order it can get quite busy once the aunties and uncles come around, which we started to see around 6:30 PM. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in OC!
