When it first opened in 1964, Anjappar was started as a military mess. Specialising specifically in crab and other seafood items, they are still well known for the same items along with their biryani. They have now opened a number of branches and moved well beyond Chennai but definitely become very commercial. As they cater to larger crowds in a number of places, the ambience is very neat and offers larger menus. Not considered a military hotel anymore, the Anjappar chain of restaurants are now considered a Chettinadu hotel and offer other cuisines such as Chinese and North Indian dishes.
Must Try: Chilli chicken, tandoori chicken, fish curry.
Price: INR 600 for two
