Favourite South Indian non veg restaurant in Pondicherry...
Tasty and spicy food...
lot of non-veg varieties
not only the usual mutton, chicken, fish, prawns
but also
the exotic rabbit, duck, shark, Turkey and so on.
Disappoint online the end of the day with quality and service. had a lunch with my family. the food is very late. Totally it was not satisfactorily......
Must go for a tamil traditional food, the ambiance is si good, and always crowded, the staffs are well dressed and mannered and price of the menu is ok.
Value for money. The food is awesome but only if you can handle spice. The fried fish is to die for. The lighting could be improved and the restaurant needs some sprucing up.
Overall it's one of the good restaurants in Pondicherry.
Confused.. Really confused! I couldn't pick a favourite. All the dishes that we ordered were equally good. The best Chettinad restaurant I have been to. The food is so authentic it reminds you that Pondicherry is not in France.

Ended up in Anjappar as there were no Chettinad restaurant open at 3:30 in the evening. Nattu kozhi biriyani - average. There were enough chicken pieces though and the quantity was good. Prawn biriyani - this is not prawn biriyani, they had used chicken biriyani's rice and had stuffed some prawn vurry into the biriyani. Anyway, the prawn curry was yummy. They had not removed the shell from few prawn pieces which is a big NO for me. Nethili fry - nethili fish fried the chicken 65 way with chicken 65 masala, was tasty enough. Nothing great though. Ont he whole an average experience.

A quick stop for spicy chettinad food to wash out your palate off from the French delicacies for time being. Be ready for the hotness you will be bombarded with, and it's quite famous in Chennai with lots of branches all over Tamil nadu. The Chettinad cuisine has its origin rooted in the Dravidian region.
The outlet here looks a little shaggy and most of the Zomato reviews stated that they went through a lousy service and we were prepared to face it. But to our surprise, we had a quick and prompt service may be because we went there at late hours around 10PM.
We ordered a masala papad, gobi 65 and a chettinad style biriyani. The masala papad itself showed the high spice levels and the gobi 65 was really tasty with crispy outer layer and no artificial colouring. The Biriyani on the contrary was a bit dry and we thought it could be better. It had flavours but mediocre. The over usage of cinnamon, cardamom killed the other spices in the gravy. Anyway, the prices are also not in painful numbers and one can easily complete a meal in 600INR.
That was definitely a refresh for my spice liking palate after 2 days of non-stop delicious french ordeal.
Very impressed with the Quail (Kadala), Vanjaram Fry, Brain Masala and Ceylone Egg Paratha. Better than the Anjappars I have eaten in other cities. Good value for money and predictable quality. Check it out if you are looking for a local Non-Vegetarian meal. You can't go wrong here.
Good food. The quantity of the set meal is large enough to be shared between 2 people. We also ordered the chicken sukka, chicken pepper fry. Both tasted good.

Anjappar is well known for its chettinad food.. a great place to enjoy good old spicy, flavorful south indian non veg food..
Their service is good and staff is polite and helpful.. we asked for suggestions and weren't disappointed with what was brought to us.. the prices are reasonable.. and they have a good menu.. any hardcore non vegetarian would love this place.. they serve chicken, lamb, mutton, fish, prawns, rabbit.. all in their authentic chettinad spices.. the food is high on flavor and a big bang of spice.. not for people who like bland food..
We ordered fish fingers for the starter, nice with a South Indian twist to it.. good fresh fish.. fried to perfection.. for the main course, we ordered the mutton biryani, pepper chicken and rotis..
the biryani was divine! unlike other normal biryanis, the flavors and spices used made all the difference.. the mutton was succulent and falling of the bone.. it was served with a rassa and raita.. the pepper chicken was exquisite.. yum! like an explosion of flavors in your mouth really tasty.. boneless tender chicken coated in all those extravagant spices.. it goes with anything .. the rotis went well it it and so did the biryani.. great place.. lovely food!
Tried their NonVeg meal for lunch. It was a little on the spicy side, but considering that it claims to be Chettinad food, that was to be expected. The fried fish and prawns was definitely a bargain!
A busy restaurant in a rather busy street where you have the typical Chettinadu cucine.
The seer fish fry was fried to right level with slight tint of tanginess which added to the taste. The Chicken Chettinadu gravy was spicy but very tasty and went well with the rice.
The thali meals was an ordinary affair, nothing to boast about as they were giving more focus on to the side dishes we order.
The fish thali we ordered has some fish gravies with about 9 rupees more than the veg thali, so worth it.
Ambience is good, staffs are polite, and locality is accessible being in a busy street.
Cost: Not very expensive, around 500 for two
The origami here is worth it but the soup is not up to the mark......loved the paratha and chicken masala.....The food is served very fast and good quality and quantity
Wanted to have delicious food, looking for a decent narrowed down to karai chettinad n Anjappar. Both the places are great do try if you visit. Ordered mutton briyani, mushroom chilly, chicken kabab, lemon chicken n ginger chicken... All the dishes were great, portions were good too....
Food gets a bit costly here.but theres no compromise in the variety and its quality.mainly the rabbit and fish varieties are so yummy here.only thing they cud have revamped the interiors.though,if u wanna have food at a typical anjappar resto.then this place wudnt disappoint you!
We tried all the sea food like prawn fry, masala crab and lamb chop. The food was really nice. Pocket friendly. Seafood price was really less with good quantity. But service was taking a lot of time. It took 20 mins to serve rice when we ordered second time.
The quality of the food - especially the seafood delicacies is good. Liked the restaurant apart from the fact that it was too dark indoors. Maybe some of the readers might like it; but I would like to see what I am eating! The food came with copious amounts of artificial colors added to them. The colors stayed on my fingers for at least 24 hours. The prices are reasonable and the quality of the food is just OK. The bathrooms were somewhat slippery too. I would ask the customers to be very careful while alighting from the bathroom stalls.
one of the best restaurents in pondicherry.They serve very good food and their menu consists of many chertinad items .The items will be loved the people who love spicy food and south indian taste.so give it a try.Most people will love the serving and the hotel.and one of the average budjet hotel which serve good food in the city of pondicherry
It's one of the best tamil nadu restaurant situated globally... Its food are good and healthy.. Provides non-veg. Very clean place and arranged well... All variety of foods are there... Staffs are polite..
Actually it's not anjappar it's been changed into another hotel named as Kongu kitchen we have been wandering for solid 5 to 10 min before we came to know that the name has been changed anyway the food in that hotel was awesome..

It was too spicy, I liked it but my friends were complaining about its spiceness. Please ask for less spicy if you like medium.
Good quality and service but I don't liked the taste.. (not complaining ).. my taste may be different.
