This place serves authentic South Indian cuisine. The flavours are perfect and the food is awesome in taste. We loved the crab curry and appam with mutton keema. Parrotta was crispy. We rounded up our meal with a strong filter coffee. Would definitely look to visit again when in vicinity.

I love coming here to try appam with a curry, recently I came with my family and ordered Gobi Manchurian and garlic chicken fried rice, everything tasted great. I do wish they offered free chai tea like some other restaurants. They have fish fry on the weekends, which is yummy!

Paper dosa (with masala on side) was good and crunchy. Uttapam here is good and perfectly cooked. Best was gobhi Manchurian. Well coated and flavourful. Faluda is good too. Sambhar and chutneys need significant improvement.

This places has amazing South Indian Thali both in veg and non veg. Thalis are available Monday to Friday. Weekends they have special menu where they have Big Pomfret Fry and various other fried fish. Their Nandu Masala Crab is delicious and highly recommend if you are a crab lover. The spring Dosa, Paniyaram and Appams with different curries are great options to try

This food is incredibly delicious. We have tried many dishes here and absolutely have never been disappointed by any of them. They are so kind and even allowed our dog to go inside to sit with us. To her credit, she's super well-behaved and quiet. No one ever knows that she's even there. We drive 2.5 hours specifically to go to this restaurant because we think that highly of the food and the drive is well worth it! Service is also so nice, the crew is very polite and makes us feel comfortable while dining here.

I was skeptical of going to a non-veg restaurant but was pleasantly surprised. The quantity of their veg kothu paratha was great. Thali with halwa was awesome too. Some veg folks were a little vary of fish smell, but I didn't feel anything. Also loved the old popular Tamil songs being played in the background- made it nostalgic.

Enjoyed our dinner here. They have a very wide variety of food options in the menu from soups to desserts. The food we ordered was fantastic. The taste was so authentic and fresh food. The starter was chilli chicken, was spicy and tasty. Fish fry was delicious and well cooked. The chicken kottu parota tasted great. The ambur mutton briyani was delicious prepared in seeraga samba rice, very authentic taste. Appam with mutton curry was good too. Overall all the items we ordered was served on time, was very delicious and we enjoyed our dinner. Very friendly staff and nice ambience.

I’ve always loved South Indian cuisine and to find an authentic Chettinad restaurant is discovering gold. The spice blend in the stew were perfect and just the right amount. The Appams were soft fluffy and melt in the mouth bites. The Masala Chas was Fantastic, loved the use of coriander and spices, a perfect digestive drink to accompany the spices stews. The Ghee Roast Dosa was crisp and yet the batter was well fermented so it had the air bubbles. Very well made Dosa. The mint chutney was the highlight of the night. Refreshing and delicious. The tomato chutney was also very fresh and tasty. However I didn’t much like the coconut chutney, somehow it was lacking flavour and taste. The potato masala filling was also bland and okay. The dosa was so good that next time I would only order it plain. Couldn’t stop munching on the dosa without the need of any accompaniments( was sooo good) Having a small appetite I left determined to come back again so I can try out other dishes. Awesome food and good service. Service was prompt ( we had reached on a Monday evening at 9 pm) we got served within 5 minutes the Chas and the Appam in 10 minutes and Dosa in 15 minutes. Took 10 minutes max to finish it all😍 Sublime food ! They are open till 10 pm. Which is also a plus point as many restaurants in the Bay Area close by 8 or max 9 pm.

Wonderful authentic South Indian cuisine! It was a rush hour on a Sunday afternoon but we got lucky. Service was also quicker than expected. Their serving size is much larger than a couple of other similar outlets I visited, and at the same price. They serve 3 chutneys - green, red and white coconut with Idli Dosa along with very delicious sambhar. We tried Idli, Kara Dosa and Mysore Plain Dosa. The stuffing in Kara dosa has an augmented taste of pepper along with other spices. Makes it more delicious than a regular Masala Dosa. Idlis were super soft and served 3 in a plate. Must try their traditional Filter Coffee !

Little slow on the orders. Had to wait 20 mins for our order. Masala dosa was okish. Idli and uttapam were good. Badam hot milk was good too.

AppaKadai in Santa Clara is a solid choice for those craving authentic South Indian cuisine, especially Chettinad specialties. The flavors are bold and spicy, true to the region's roots. Highlights include their Chicken lollipop and Chicken palipalayam, which are rich and aromatic. The biryanis are well-spiced and generously portioned, perfect for sharing. Service can be a bit slow during peak hours, but the staff is friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is casual and unpretentious, making it ideal for family dinners or casual meetups.

Good spacious restaurant. They have varieties in the menu. To select dishes from the huge menu is a challenge itself. The food was average south Indian restaurant standard quality. The muttom kheema appam and filter coffee were better. The service was okay. It takes 10-15 mins to get your order on weekdays. There is a lot of parking available outside. Usually busy on weekends as they have Apni Mandi next to the restaurant.

Visited this place as suggested by bay area friends. I ordered parotta and egg masala for mains and gobi 65 and egg omelette for starters. My friend ordered idiyappam and chicken curry. The chicken was undercooked apparently. The egg masala and parotta were really good. Gobi 65 was really good and crunchy. They have a lot of vegetarian options too. Overall, this place offers a good south indian food.

We ordered Chicken 65, Chicken Keema Appam, and Egg Kothu Parotta. The appams were huge. Two big appams come with one order, which alone would normally be enough to share between two people. Overall delicious food.

Mouth watering chicken curries - tried Naatukozhi chicken roast, chef's special chicken curry, Pallipalayam chicken. All curries were good but Pallipalayam chicken was the star. Tried chicken lollipop, parotha and appam - all great. Service is fast and lot of seating tables. Ambience is good too

Even though bay area has tons of Indian restaurants, their standards are pretty average when it comes to taste. The same can be said about this place. I went here on a weekday to try there special non veg meals and it was disappointing. There were many items but they didn't have any taste. They should consider reducing the number of items and making fewer ones that taste good.

A great way to celebrate winter is to have mutton bone soup at this place. The Ambur mutton biryani set my tongue on fire, but it was tasty! The tamarind fish curry had distinctly tangy notes, and the taste went well with the fish. We waited for quite a while to order food, probably because there was one host , but the food was quick to arrive.

They messed up my simple ordered items. also the dishes are not true to description. i ordered chicken chinthamani- which according to the menu is supposed to be a tangy chicken with lemon. not only did i not feel any tangyness, it was just tooo spicy with a lot of dried red chillis and it was repurposed from a different chicken dish. i didn’t want to write a review- but my stomach is upset now.

I have a mixed feelings about my experience. On one hand, the authentic South Indian flavors were absolutely delicious—the variety dosas, appams, flavorful chicken/fish/ veg curries and perfectly spiced biryanis were highlights. The food quality is definitely worth praising! However, the service was extremely disappointing. The staff seemed unattentive, ignored requests for water and and our orders took way too long to arrive—even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy. It was too hot inside as no fan or AC were turned on.

This is a chain restaurant a lot it vegetarian options, the staff and service is just about average. The food however is so gassy and will leave you with a bloated stomach for hours. Really not good. About the quality of food, it’s so below average for vegetarian options the cauliflower Manchurian was so badly made, barely any taste when I asked so some ketchup, the staff says no we have no ketchup I was like WTH. The veg kurma was equally bland it didn’t have salt or any spice and when I told the staff about it, the excuse was oh most Americans don’t eat spice, I was left wondering if Salt is spice? When I asked her about Salt the staff was clueless. The table ethics are so bad, there is no salt pepper on the table. Terrible place to be at. I am never go to this place again.
