The food is delicious, even more if you are a meat eater. We've been eating here since a few years now and the quality has stayed fairly consistent. Considering that this place serves South Indian food, the dosas are definitely nice. However, there are a bunch of good dosa places in the GTA who offer more options. Anjappar scores with its tasty non vegetarian variety. Today, the chicken was tender and well cooked. We like spicy gravy and the server's recommendation was on spot. The mutton bone soup was extra nice on the first day of snow. Overall, a must try place if you haven't been here yet. read more

I had heard about Anjappar from my cousin who had come to Mississauga a few years back and I assumed it was a small hole-in-the-wall kind of restaurant. To my surprise, I realized that the place is actually part of a global chain when I tried ordering from there recently. Unfortunately, that reflects on the prices as well. It is quite pricey and the quantity definitely does not match the prices. However, the taste almost makes up for this. Everything we got was spiced perfectly and not mellowed down at all. The chicken 65 was especially delightful and goat curry was fantastic with the typical South Indian coconut flavour coming through. In conclusion, it is probably not a place I will be ordering from often because of those prices but will definitely consider it if I am looking to impress any guests looking for authentic spicy fare from the southern part of India. read more

Went to this place for dinner and ordered tea to start the meal, this was $2.99, and I think may have had 2-3 oz of tea in the cup. This is a very traditional size and tastes like what I would get in India, we were quite happy with the taste, but I wish they would make it a larger portion of tea. For the main we ordered veggie briyani, Chili fish and spicy dosa. The veggie briyani came with two side salads, and I think two eggs, I would say it's a standard dish, not something I would make a special trip for. The Chili fish was mostly breeding surrounding small pieces of basa in a red mild Chili sauce loaded with peppers and onions. Another dish I wouldn't make an effort to travel the distance for. The dosa was very large and could easily be shared by two, and they had a lot of options available. It came with a handful of sides, two coconut chutneys, and two curries I think one was sambar, all of these items were tasty. Inside the dosa was a spicy potato filling, and it was hotter than I could handle, so you might want to ask for a little less spice in yours if you choose to order this. The staff were friendly and I asked for some extra coconut chutney, which they brought over, and they also were knowledgeable about the menu options, so it was a pleasant experience to dine here. The restaurant was clean and social distancing was well done. read more

Ended up here for lunch as the place I intended to go to was closed. I love South Indian food so I was happy to give it a try. My son and I arrived around 2pm. There was one other duo at a table then 2 more parties arrived after us.....so not very busy at that time. The buffet looked ok but we chose a la carte. My son had a cheese dosa and mango lassi that he enjoyed. I had the tomato, onion,chili uttapam. It was big and very filling.....lots of onions and quite spicy. That accompanying coconut chutney was bland, red chutney was spicy and sambars were fine. Tax and tip included, lunch was $32 total for both of us. Staff were nice, washrooms and decor simple and they were an annoying intermittent sound from an alarm system? I think. Located in a plaza off the 403 across square one mall. read more

Hi All, It's my worst experience. I ordered chicken and mutton briyani, medium tray for to go. The briyani was old and spoiled one, which upset my family health. I spend $280. Now I need to register for complaints about their worst food.please share to this info to the food committee read more

Our friends recommended this place for chicken chettinad so decided to got here to enjoy authentic taste. We ordered chicken Chettinad ,garlic naan and today's special fish fry (Pomfret). Chicken Chettinad was tasty, great balance of spices and authentic chettinad flavours. Fish was also very fresh , as it was deep fried hence bit oily. We took Meduwada sambar for take away. Wada was good though not crispy ,sambar and chatani were ok. I found this place pricey compare to other options available for dine in. Over all Service : Good Time to prepare :10-15 min read more

We ordered delivery via door dash and seems their service is slow.. had to try the chettinad chicken and also ordered pepper chicken masala and vegetable kothu paratha. One note to the restaurant - please add tag on top of the boxes as to what is what. I could easily identify the kothu paratha but differentiating the chettinad chicken and the pepper chicken masala was difficult. No matter what was what both tasted good. Kothu paratha came with raitha and veg curry which was equally good. read more

I was really excited to try this place as it was recommended to me. This place is not for vegans or people with dairy allergies. They cook ALL of their meals with ghee. I know ghee is a popular ingredient in a lot of South Asian dishes but never heard of a restaurant cooking all of their dishes in ghee. The server told me that their kitchen was small so they couldn't substitute another oil for me. The only thing they offered me at this place was rice and Dal Fry. *Sigh Won't be coming back. read more

This is one of the best kept secrets and hidden gems of South Indian non-vegetarian food in Scarborough. Indian cuisine is varied and differs significantly across different states and regions of India. Chettinad cuisine comes from of a community called the Nattukotai Chettiars, or Nagarathars as they call themselves from Chettinad region of Tamilnadu state in South India. Value for money: fantastic, probably the best. Ambience: decent and good ambience, as is expected in an authentic Indian restaurant, nothing is out of place or over done. CUSTOMER SERVICE and Hospitality: very good, Courteous staff who helped me to park my car, Charge my phone, give excellent food recommendations and a brisk, efficient service. Cleanliness: clean tables, cutlery and toilets. Food quality, taste and presentation: We ordered three main dishes - the Sunday special chicken curry, Prawns masala, dry Mutton coconut fry and for appetizers the cauliflower 65. The Sunday special chicken curry was delectable, bordering on divine and truly reflected Chettinad food at its best. Similarly the other dishes were very good. As was the dessert rasmalai. A bit perplexed and confused by the earlier average and not so good reviews. Food is definitely a bit spicy but this is what authentic /true Chettinad food tastes like. If you want to sample Chettinad food, definitely go to this place. I sure am, again and again! read more

This restaurant is very authentic! Their Dosa is one of the best Dosas I have had. Unfortunately because the Dosa was large, I did not order anything else in the menu. My husband tried their buffet which is a huge selection for only $16.99. (Holiday buffet) He was quite happy with the food and can tell that it's a place alot of Indian families would come for a family meal together. So you know it's a great restaurant. I did try their specialty drink called a Falooda. It was very sweet and tasty drink. Overall, a nice restaurant. Would come here more often if we lived in the area. read more

Took a meat dish masala was super spicy but still great taste prepare ur nose to be running. Had their lolipop chicken too- it was that great as lolipop. Was ok to eat but not great.

Busy Indian restaurant located in a tiny plaza by square one. Came here on a Saturday night and the place was overflowing with people until closing time. Lots of people ordering sit-down meals but also a lot of people getting takeout. We had to wait about 45 minutes to get a seat, but we were a larger party so that was fine. The food was really good and beware that they do not mess around with the spice level. We started with the chicken lollipops which were exactly how we remembered them in India. For mains we orders a variety of dosas which were good, butter chicken, a mutton curry, and mutton coconut fry. All the dishes were authentic and tasted great. The two mutton dishes were very spicy so might want to stay away if you're not into spicy food. Also tried the mango milkshake which was nice and refreshing. The service was great - they did their best to accommodate us as fast as possible, and the orders were taken and brought out with no errors. The food was made fresh and came out within 10 minutes. Would recommend trying to make a reservation no matter what size group you come with, as the place seemed to be extremely busy no matter the time. read more

Another great find in a funny, tiny strip mall. The waitstaff was very friendly and helpful when we trying to figure out what to order, also a very friendly couple there telling us that the food was spicy and chatting to us. We ended up getting Idlies to start, masala dosa, Anjappar chicken masala and to cap it off crab roast (nandu varuval) It was a great recommendation from the waitress, the only thing is that it was extremely messy so maybe would think about getting something else next time. We also went to their weekday lunch buffet. It was a very small buffet with just a tiny variety of food. Small salad bar, some chicken and veggie dishes and a couple of other things that I can't even remember. The stand out for me was their coconut chutney and their all you can eat dosa. I knew it was a dosa buffet but was confused because we didn't see any on the buffet. A kind man explained that you had to order them off the menu. So basically you can order as many as you want and as many different kinds of dosa as you would like as well. They cook them fresh and hot and bring them right to the table for you. My con for this would be that being new to this buffet I wish there was a sign or some sort of indication telling you how to order your food. Also the waitstaff should have told you how the buffet works with the dosa ordering. read more

Went during closing hours. Food taste was great. Priced a bit on the higher side. Ordered Parota and Mutton Chukka ($17, Qty is less for the price you pay ), Chicken Lollipop ($10, 5 pieces) and Chicken Biryani ($13-14, qty was less). They had crab dishes as well but was scared to try late during closing hours. read more

Ordered This off UberEat.. Friggggin AWESOME!! BUTTER CHICKEN w/ BUTTER NAAN I've been looking for the best butter chicken since my high school days when I first tried it at my friends house. Mission Complete! Chicken was tender 5/5 Sauce 5/5 Naan 3/5 ( I prefer Garlic) MASALA DOSA Tried plain dosa the other day and wanted to experiment on the other flavour options. From the reviews I read I was leaning this one based off spice and flavour. The spice lives up to the reviews and there is a kick. Came with a nice soup and what I believe to be Sambar and another green sauce. Dosa 3/5 Soup 4/5 This place really has me wanted to visit the buffet! Enjoy read more

I heard a lot about the buffet here but never got a chance to try it, so instead, I thought of going for the À la carte option. People recommended the dosa but I was in the mood to try the curries and the parathas. I did not regret my choice. I ended up ordering 12 parathas, because they were soo good. We ordered fish curry, chicken pepper masala, butter chicken, chicken biryani and mutton biryani. My favourite was the chicken pepper. It was really spicy, but I was warned, so won't be pointing fingers. It was more like a workout but yet enjoyable . The french fries were different from regular ones, they added some kind of masala which made it taste great. I loved everything here but the only drawback was the price. It wasn't worth the quantity. The mutton biryani was 13.99$. I was expecting a big portion for that price. The quantity will be enough for one person because there was more mutton than rice. To end this lunch experience we ordered Mango lassi and tea. Loved both! I would come to this place again to try the buffet because the A la carte was a bit too expensive. read more

Fabulous customer service and delicious food. I've eaten here before many years ago and for some reason I never forgot their vada pav... So today, I decided to take my husband here for his first time and he loved it. We had the butter chicken dosa with extra chilli and it comes with two sambars, one orange chutney(can't remember the name), and coconut chutney. Delicious triangle! Lol I finished the whole thing. For desert we got the ras malai which was ok. I'll definitely come back and try other dosas. read more

This would be your standard South Indian restaurant with a North Indian menu added. Food is okay. I had the Mysore Masala Dosa and my girlfriend had the Masala Dosa. Mysore masala dosa was spicy but tolerable. Masala dosa was good. The coconut chutney and sambhar was good. The masala filling was mushy. Service is really good. We had a lovely waitress who was very responsive and attentive. Overall, the food wasn't anything amazing but a bit above average. And the prices are quite reasonable as well. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 if I could. read more

For those who appreciate the proper blend of spices. A crowded but clean restaurant, and friendly knowledgeable servers. Very clean washrooms. Had a Ceylon Egg Parotha, it was exactly as I remember from Sri Lanka. The only drawback though was that the Parotha came with about 3 table spoons Chicken Gravy. Did not fill me. Had to order another entree. The sambar that my mom had was just right. The rest of the group came back quite content with their meal. The servers were very friendly and was very knowledgeable about the entire menu. The service was very polite. The Restaurant was a little noisy and crowded because of the layout. Other than that, it was very clean. The wait time and table management needs a little improvement. Had to wait for about 15mins to get a table of five. read more

I have to down rate my previous review.. yesterday will be my last ever visit to this restaurant. Have been here couple of times, but the quality and taste has been deteriorating for each visit. The prices are marginally high for the quality and quantity. I've tried all types of food here- curry, dosa, biryani, not even one type of dish pleased my tongue. The thali is okay. Biryani never even go for it. And chetinadu chicken, is it really the "chetinadu "?? Please don't spoil the name.. read more

The food is good I agree but the lady at the entrance when I called in asked us to walk in for dining by 10.30 pm and when we arrived at 10.00 pm she told its closed . Worst way of making people come in and then say it's occupied. read more

The Anjappar Chicken Masala really tested the limits of my tolerance for spicy Indian food. It was full of flavour, but damn was it spicy. Their paratha was absolutely divine, serving as a perfect companion to the Anjappar Chicken Masala gravy. Overall the food was alright at this place. The service was prompt, courteous and friendly. I'm not sure I'd be back necessarily. Next time I'm in Mississauga, I'd be more tempted to check out one of the myriads of other good Indian restaurants since this one didn't impress me that much. I haven't tried their buffet, as it was closed, but it could very well be worth the money. Their buffet prices are very reasonable. read more

The food here is spicy and peppery, exactly what food from the"Chettinad" region should taste like. I have dined here plenty of times and this place always delivers. The chicken biryani is juicy, and the accompanying curries and flavorful. The vegetarian plate meal is a treat, and I really like the "vettu kozambu" that is served with the plate meal. The vecchu roti is authentic. The crab soup is really peppery and I highly recommend it. The potato balls (bondas) are great with the mint chutney. The dosas are good although Gurulakshmi is better. Sambhar and rasam are top notch. Some of the chicken starters are pretty oily though, so I would avoid them if you're into healthy living. Servers are polite and dishes are served pretty fast. I noticed that a few reviewers claim that its a standard south indian restaurant and this is inaccurate. If you walk in, grab a dosa and walk out without actually trying any of the Chettinad dishes that the restaurant is actually known for, you're completely missing the point. read more

Anjappar is a gem of a joint that's much underrated much like Chettinad cuisine itself. It's a relatively moderate sized space and has an endearing, polite and attentive staff. Most of the staff itself is from South India and that adds to the ambience and authenticity of the restaurant. Anjappar, hands down, serves the best non-vegetarian south Indian Cuisine. Period! Even their vegetarian cuisine is a thing of art, and make sure you try their Tomato soup. It's creamy, it's thick and it's a perfect blend of tang and sweetness. I also love their garlic Naan which goes well with the 'Chettinad chicken' or 'Sukka Mutton' (Dry goat curry). If wheat isn't your thing then go for a Podi Dosa as your carb option to eat the meat dishes with. Their Biryanis aren't all that great, personally, but they're decent nuff. Also they serve a pretty decadent falooda which is an ice cream float essentially with rose water milk, the semolina balls you find in bubble tea and vermicelli and other goodies. It is an opulent way to end a meal. All in all its one of my fav places to eat and the dishes pack a punch because of their pepper-y roots. Go try it out! read more

I don't have much to say about this place as it is another run of the mill Indian restaurant (out of all the gazillions out there in Canada). We wanted to eat south Indian food so gave this place a try. The pakoras were really oily (and I mean "really" oily), the chicken rasam (soup) lacked flavour and was a tad bit over spicy (wait! Does that make it flavorful? Nah, I don't think so), the chicken chettinad again suffered with the same problem, paneer butter masala was too sweet and other stuff I did not bother trying as I wasn't able to make out what's what. All being said, the sambhar and dosa were outstanding and that's what the 4 stars are for. read more

Trivia: Why Indians eat with using all five fingers instead of the silver? A: In order to enjoy the meal using all the five senses that is best obtained by the nerve endings of one's fingers :) i did exactly that and forgot for a moment that i was actually not in India ! Finally i found a south Indian restaurant so authentic that actually serve authentic regional spicy food ! Well, Chettinad is a way of cuisine in Tamilnadu (South of India) where the food is relatively spicier and meats, seafood are one of their specialties. Also one of the special cooking methods of this region is that they finish off the meats by tempering with mustard seeds on top. In India , the mustard seeds are not usually tempered for meats but only for the preparation of vegetable curries. Do look for white board special as it would be the best they can make that day. we ordered the whole fish fry and believe it or not but this dish was a repeat on demand of ours and friend's 3yr old. It was a hit! For the main course we ordered some fish curry, goat curry and some naans. The goat curry was ok but fish curry was spicy and the best . It is certainly no comparison to any Modified-Indian cuisines in B-lo. My cute friend who is originally from West of India says that she wouldn't trade anything for a huge Dosa (crispy thin lentil crepes served with coconut chutney & spicy sambar). Usually this is a breakfast thing for southerners so it would be like eating ham & eggs at a Steakhouse for dinner! But it was that good! Servers are true natives who will guide you well and nothing Americanized or genetically modified about the place or food !!! Can travel 2 hours again to eat here. They have another location in Toronto too. read more

Today we went to Anjappar , quality of food is very poor. I don't know how they run the restaurant with this quality

First off, I am not really a fan of south indian food. Anjappar actually offers a wide range of tastes from South to North, though. That said, if I want north Indian I'll probably go to a Punjabi restaurant ;) So basically, we go back here again and again for the Dosa... and normally just Masala Dosa (although I have tried a couple of others). And it is good... as far as dosa goes, especially since I don't really crave it, but I can enjoy it here. And I'm sure we have been a dozen times or more since it's opened. Service is always friendly. They offer take-out as well but I prefer my dosa fresh and crispy - tends to get soggy in the container by the time I get home. They also offer delivery with https://just-eat.ca There is also a buffet on some nights, but haven't tried it. I'm not that adventurous over here, will stick with old faithful and have the masala dosa. But there are many other flavours you can try! read more

The reviews seemed good but i must have come on an off day. The food was not up to my expectations, either that or other people have lower expectations. The service was slow and it was not even a busy night, we almost felt like we were not wanted here. The plates were barely off the table when the bill came and we took that as a sign of its time to leave since nobody cared to ask if we wanted anything else. read more

Good spread for lunch. Buffet covering fish, prawn, chicken, egg biryani, sambhar, rasam, couple of veg dishes, curd, salad, papad. Not to forget the dosas which were sparingly dished out. I guess they want the guests to eat other things. Personally if something is a part of the spread it should be replenished of charged. Desert had one South Indian item + 5 ice cream flavours. Coffee was chargeable and average. Overall average food with below average service. read more

I'm a real fan of this place these days, and we drive all the way here if we're craving authentic Indian food. It's the spicy regional Indian cuisine we've been missing in downtown Toronto.

This place is my new gem. Bring your best spice tolerance palette along! read more

Wow, try the tandoori chicken. Might be the best checked I've ever had. Everyone I bring agrees. It takes forever to make, you wait over 30 min, but soooo worth it.
