Anjappar Chettinad Restaurant

I’m from CT and was visiting NJ. I ordered takeout, and only after returning did I find that Malabar mutton curry was missing from my order. This is extremely frustrating and careless. Because I was already back, I couldn’t return to get what I paid for. Basic order accuracy was clearly not a priority.

We ordered the crab masala speciality and I noticed several black spots on the crab that were quite alarming. These spots strongly resemble parasites or leech eggs. Unaware, me and my children accidentally consumed a portion of this curry. After noticing the spots, we immediately lost our appetite and felt sick. We are concerned about the quality and safety of Anjappar's seafood. It is evident that they did not properly clean the crab before adding it to the curry. This experience has not only caused discomfort but also a genuine fear for our health.

Anjappar is a solid spot if you’re into authentic South Indian and Chettinad-style food. The dining area feels clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly without hovering too much. The menu isn’t overwhelming but packs in all the classics — from spicy chicken curries and parottas to dosas that come out crisp and full of flavor. I tried the chicken biryani and really liked that it had that signature Chettinad spice kick without being too oily. The mutton dishes are rich and slow-cooked to perfection, and their chutneys add that extra zing. Weekends can get busy, so it’s smart to plan ahead or arrive early, especially for dinner hours. Prices are fair for the portion sizes, and the meal combos make it a great value. If you’re craving home-style South Indian food or want to explore so

My non vegetarian husband was on cloud 9 with all his favorite dishes he got for the banana leaf Thali (unlimited) over the weekend. The servers were polite and helpful. The place looks a little dark. But big projector screen with South Indian Songs playing. Also, I left my purse there and had to go back to pickup another day. These guys kept it safe and very helpful.
