Anjappar NYC truly gave me one of the best Indian food experiences I’ve had in the US. The food here is next-level authentic and packed with real Chettinad flavors. The rasam was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had – perfectly spiced, comforting, and bursting with flavor. The Chettinad chicken was outstanding – rich, fiery, and cooked to absolute perfection. Pairing it with soft, flaky Kerala porotta was pure heaven. And to top it all off – their filter coffee was simply brilliant. Strong, aromatic, and exactly how a South Indian filter coffee should be. Overall, this is easily one of the best meals I’ve had in the US. If you love authentic South Indian food, Anjappar NYC is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended! 🇮🇳☕🔥

Amazing food and the special non veg banana leaf was a great addition to the menu, loved everything about the food and their service. They also very willing gave us complimentary food for us to try.

It’s good food and prompt service! They are known for the banana leaf feast. As a solo diner I got the Mysore Masala dosa and it was delicious. It hit the spot

I had a wonderful experience here! The Samba Chicken Biryani was absolutely delicious, so flavorful and perfectly cooked. It’s definitely a dish I’d come back for. The service was also excellent, our waiter gave great suggestions that really elevated the meal. Highly recommend this place!

Cozy & Quiet to enjoy the delicious authentic Indian food. They offered a free mango lassi (my favourite) if we would wrote a review. I share my views to give people a good chance of enjoying good food, ambience & service, as well as, where there’s room for improvement. Keep up the authentic tastes of Indian cuisine

Anjappar Indian Cuisine delivers an unforgettable dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the warm hospitality and inviting ambiance set the tone for a perfect evening. The food was nothing short of exceptional—authentic Chettinad flavors that were rich, aromatic, and cooked to perfection. Every dish, from the spicy mutton chukka to the veg biriyani was a flavor explosion. The staff was courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. It’s clear they take great pride in the quality of their food and service. Highly recommend Anjappar to anyone craving a true taste of South India—this place is a gem!

The food was so good! I️ came with my brother in law who is South Indian and he approved. I️ would recommend the non-veg leaf platter. I️ was too hungry at that point so there are no pics 😆. It’s supposedly for 1 person, but we got 2 of them and some extra dishes for 5 people and it was more than enough. I️ think you could share the leaf platter for 2. Would gladly come again. The atmosphere was upbeat. Unfortunately we were under the speakers so it was little loud.

Everything we ordered was perfectly delicious. The taste of the food, the ingredients, everything felt of good quality. The service was very good and fast. If I go back to New York I would definitely come back to this place to try more since they have a very extensive menu.

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 was our second time. Food was excellent and the new lady waitress was attentive. Sambar chicken biryani 4/5 Coconut curry with prawn 4/5 Garlic naan 4/5 Coconut curry goes well with biryani and naan was well. As others noted a bit runny not as thick but flavorful. $70 with 20% tip

Both the chicken Chettinad and the Iddyapam were outstanding. I would strongly recommend that they should be ordered.

I don’t know why this restaurant got such high reviews. The service was spotty, the appetizers came and then they brought two of the three dishes right away with the appetizers and the third dish. They brought midway through. We had Gobi, which was good, Samosa‘s that were average, lamb curry that was very good, the fish curry, which was kingfish and was not good and chicken biryani that was all rice. Also, the lighting was too bright on top of everything.

Pretty decent overall, but nothing to write home about. Everything was perfectly passable, but for Indian food aficionados, it just didn’t quite hit the spot. On the bright side, the Madras coffee was the real star of the show — absolutely excellent!

I visited this place this noon. I ordered the banana leaf special and a Coke, and the total bill came to around $50. The service was good, but the food was so bland that it wasn’t very tasty. If you’re a spice lover, you might want to skip this place. It was an evening, and the atmosphere was okayish.

Absolutely disgusting experience. I ordered Dindigul biryani and Chicken 65 and paid $44 for food that was completely inedible. The meat was NOT fully cooked and clearly unsafe to eat. After only a few bites, I had to throw everything away. To make it worse, I ended up with food poisoning and was sick for two days. This is unacceptable and dangerous. Total waste of money and time. Do NOT eat here — I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. On top of that, the 5-star ratings are clearly misleading. It’s obvious many reviews are given just because customers are offered freebies like a mango lassi, not because the food is actually good. These ratings do not reflect the real quality of this place at all.
