Ananthapuram

We recently visited this restaurant and ordered chicken fry, appam, chicken stew, porotta, beef chilli, and some drinks. Overall, the food was excellent in taste, quality, and quantity. The only dish that didn’t fully meet our expectations was the beef chilli, which was a bit disappointing compared to everything else. Since it was a Saturday, we had to wait around 20 minutes for a seat, but the wait was definitely worth it. The service was very good our waiter Chetan was kind, attentive, and quick with everything we needed. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

I recently visited Ananthpuram and had a good experience. We tried a few dishes, starting with the pazhampori with beef starter, which was a unique and tasty combination. The naadan chicken fry and porotta were flavorful and satisfying, but the highlight for me was definitely the king fish fry—authentic, spicy, and packed with traditional Kerala-style taste. The place is a bit congested in terms of table and chair spacing, but the good service, friendly staff, and well-curated menu make up for it.

We ordered beef ulathiyathu, porotta, appam, erachi choru, mutton roast and pazham pozhi (plantain in fried dough). Beef ulathiyathu was excellent, very authentic. Porotta was larger than I expected and was also great. Appam was very good and well made, I would definitely recommend. Pazham pozhi was underwhelming and didn't feel authentic and I would not recommend. Mutton roast was also good. Tea was really good. Erachi chor was milder in spice and flavor than I expected, more like beef biryani but milder. Overall, fast service, resonably priced and tasty food from kerala.

I recently visited Ananthapuram traditional Kerala restaurant ,and overall it was a pleasant experience. The ambience is cozy and inviting, making it a great place for both casual meals and small gatherings. The food was tasty, though some dishes could be more flavorful. The service was friendly, but a little slow during peak hours. Prices are slightly higher than average, but the quality of the ingredients justifies it. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a calm and enjoyable dining experience in East Ham.

This was honestly the worst biryani I have ever had in my life. I’m not even sure it can be called biryani — it tasted like something completely different and extremely poorly made. When I told the staff member about it, they completely ignored me. The staff member and the manager both avoided the conversation. There was no apology, no attempt to fix the issue, and no offer to replace the dish. What made the experience even worse was the terrible service. The attitude from the staff showed zero customer care or responsibility. In East Ham you can easily find £2.50 takeaway biryanis that taste far better than what was served here, yet this place charges more for something that doesn’t even resemble biryani. The complete lack of professionalism was unbelievable — it felt like a very poorly run establishment. This is the only restaurant where I have genuinely left feeling angry after eating. Extremely disappointing experience.

Ordered porotta, beef curry, chicken fry. And things was dyaaammm 🤌🤌🤌. Just too good. It did cost a bit but completely satisfied with everything. Will defintely visit again. The boy is a gem and the cook 🤌🤌man, that guy need a rise.

Great atmosphere. Fantastic quality and quantity of food. Its 17th Jan 2026 at around 8.00pm. The restaurant is absolutely packed with all the tables full and over flowing. There were only two waiters. Ms. Nimisha and Mr Shyju the two waiting staff were absolutely amazing. They were like tornadoes on their toes. Unbelievable service from them both. Ghd owner of the restaurant should be lucky to have them as their staff. Thank you guys. Great evening. Om Sai Ram

Taste 2/5 Chicken and mutton biryani are the same rice with different meat on it. Even I and my family went there with a huge, hungry taste for food that made us feel bad.

First visit here, I had a classic fish Molly and appam. At £8.80 great value! Restaurant is quite new though so has a few teething problems and seems to be burdened by delivery orders resulting in poor service and long waits for food to arrive... Very very tasty though when it came! Might leave it a while before they get the service in order..
