    Had a wonderful dining experience at Anjappar Indian Restaurant. Most of the vegetarian dishes are absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors and perfectly cooked. There’s a great variety for veg lovers, and every dish we tried was satisfying. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for tasty Indian food with great service!

    If I could give 0 stars, then I would! We had the unfortunate experience of going for lunch, waiting 40 minutes while they continually told us that a table for 2 of us will be ready in 5 minutes. Meanwhile, parties of 7-10 were pouring in and being seated without any hesitation. After 40 minutes of waiting, they said they were getting a table cleaned only to give it away to someone else. We decided to leave. They have no customer service etiquette and very disorganized. The lady that was trying to seat people has no idea what she’s doing. I’m not sure how they’re even in business because based on all the other reviews, the food isn’t even that great. It was disappointing to say the least.

    Ordered veg biryani, they given pulihora rice with mustered seeds.And ordered natukodi biryani, they given curry rice with boiled chicken without having biryani spices and aroma, rice boiled heavily. Anjappar serving leftover food and making money . These people don’t have basic etiquette to address the customers politely.And ordered chicken lollipop , they made it with heavy food colors. Not sure how this restaurant got certified , need to complain on this to food inspection. I am sure that I suggest to everyone to don’t go and eat in this restaurant. Worrest food I had today which never had till now.

    Had very high expectations and went today and met expectation with varieties but highly disappointed with food taste. There were many varieties available in the buffet but the taste wise it was average to above average. Few key areas to improve - Avoid food color- shrimp fry in the buffet was reddish today(Attached photo) some foods were too much Oily and salty. the pathway next to Tea area is bit crowded and hard to cross and there is a high chance spilling hot tea. Since it’s newly started, believe that the management will take up these as positively and bring up the food quality.

    Very Disappointing and Discriminatory Service This was our fourth visit to this restaurant, and unfortunately, it confirmed a consistent pattern of poor and unfair service. If you are not a family or part of a group of 4 or more, don’t expect to be treated like a valued customer. Every single time we visit as 1 or 2 people, we are clearly ignored while the staff focuses all their attention on larger groups. Orders take longer, basic service is lacking, and we literally have to keep looking around to catch a staff member’s face or wait an excessive amount of time just to get their attention when we need something. It genuinely feels like we are invisible. This is not a one-time issue — it has happened on all four visits, which shows this is how the restaurant chooses to operate. Good service should be based on respect for all customers, not the size of the party. We spend our money just like everyone else, yet we are repeatedly treated as if we don’t matter. After giving this place multiple chances, we won’t be returning. I would not recommend this restaurant to couples or individuals who expect fair and attentive service. Very disappointing.
