Anjappar Indian Cuisine

Not bad. Large menu. Had to ask my kind waitress to tell me what was in many of the dishes that caught my eye, and I still wouldn't be able to recall much of what was in my appetizer (though it was good). I got the Palak Paneer, the Kulipaniyaram (this is the appetizer that was good but I can't tell what's inside), 2 orders of Plain Paratha (1 would've been enough for me), and a complimentary Mango Lassi (in exchange for an honest Google review). The Kulipaniyaram ($18.95) comes in 8 or so little balls, spongy and lightly fried, paired with two different dipping sauces. This was tasty, but I'll leave the pricing up to your judgment). The Palak Paneer ($17.95) came in a small bowl and was good, if not standard and relatively meager next to its price tag). The Plain Paratha ("Parotta" on the menu, $10.50 for 2 pieces) comes with 1 piece, but I ordered two thinking it'd be small. It was a little on the heavy side, fried and buttery. Tasty, but I recommend 1 per person as it's quite filling. The always ask at Indian restaurants if they have Plain Sweet Lassi, and places rarely seem to offer anything beyond Mango for some reason. Anyway, it was free with this review, but not bad. Not as creamy as I'm used to, but more puree-like, thicker. Satisfying overall. I did love how the demographics were pretty much mostly Indian/Indian-American diners, which I think made it seem more trustworthy as a non-local. The service was attentive and my waitress was kind, as mentioned. Family friendly place. I thought the prices were somewhat high, but I'm also from out of state and assumed Manhattan food is just crazy expensive. Am I accurate? The menu, as I also mentioned, was very large with a great selection of uncommon dishes not typical of the average Indian restaurant. I was definitely curious to try many other items. *One qualm was that the menu is by default accessible via QR code, which means I had to browse the extensive menu on my phone's screen, rather than flipping physical pages which, for larger menus, makes navigation a little easier, in my opinion.* Overall, the food was pretty good, if not expensive. If I were local to NYC, I might go back to try other items, if I had extra cash to splurge on. 4/5 overall stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food. All the items we ordered had authentic chettinad taste. The meats in Biriyani, curry was well cooked and tender . Had the best parotta in US in last 10 years. And Nanari sarpath tasted so yummy, my kids loved it to

I’ve had Anjappar in Singapore so coming here I had a decent level of expectation because of the Anjappar name. But it turned out to be par. Food was only an okay. The items in the non veg thali were not heated properly and seemed a bit lacking in flavor. The Egg Biriyani was okay, like a 7/10. These ratings may seem harsh but I’m coming from an actual good Anjappar experience in Singapore and the name holds a lot of history and importance. Hopefully it improves the quality.

We came around 4 hoping we may find something to eat, was surprised to see lunch options including banana leaf meals and samba mutton biryani. Authentic taste, good portions.

Best Samosas in town! I daydream about this place all the time. Mango lassi is insane. Chicken biryani slays, butter chicken of course and the coconut chicken is fo realzies.

You will love the atmosphere and the food. Both have a homely vibe and the staff is excellent. We came here for a birthday celebration and we couldn't stop eating. The food is fresh and very filling. The chicken365 is crunchy and very very moist when you bite into it. The portion sizes are perfect. I recommend sharing all the dishes on the table so you can experience all the different dishes.

This is authentic South Indian cuisine. We tried the chicken chettinad curry and it was excellent. I highly recommend it. Their servers were friendly and service was very quick. Definitely also try the mango lassi!

Very good food, rich in flavour and prices are ok. Our paneer pepper fry was a little spicy but the waiter brought us some white sauces to eat it with and it was great. Very attentive! Would definitely come back again.
