Anjappar Chettinad Indian Restaurant, Durham

Authentic, top notch South Indian food, probably best in Durham. Limited street parking outside, but we were able to park in the lot near the restaurant which reads reserved for staff but apparently not in the evenings. You gotta use the washroom in the government building right next door which was a tad odd. 1. Deer sukka varuval - 10/10 2. Chicken kothu parotta - 9/10 3. Veechu parotta - 9/10 4. Gunpowder dosa - 9/10 5. Rosemilk - 9/10 6. Virgin mango mojito - 10/10

What an absolutely pleasant experience! The food was out of this world delicious and the service top notch. The pricing was fair for the amount of food that was given. The options are endless and the staff is willing to help direct you in the right direction to a delicious dish. I would come back here again and soon!

This place is a gem. The food is incredible—especially the Chennai-style gobi and the Chettinad lamb. I love eating in the restaurant but when I got take out and forgot to grab my mango lassi, and they kindly drove it out to my home. They are so thoughtful, and the food is impeccable. I would rate them 6 stars ⭐️ just delicious

I visited Anjappar in Durham and had a great experience. The food was very tasty, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. I loved their traditional Indian-style serving plates. I ordered shrimp pepper fry, paneer burji, and chicken kadai — all were delicious. The meal ended perfectly with a sweet dessert. Highly recommend!

My fiance and I have been here twice so far and it is by far the best Indian food we’ve had here in NC. Dosas are delicious, chutneys are extremely flavorful, and the staff are beyond friendly, especially Anthony! Can’t recommend this restaurant enough, we will be returning soon!
