Anjappar Authentic Chenttinaad Restaurant, Syed Alwi Road

Anjappar Authentic Chenttinaad Restaurant, Syed Alwi Road

I've on numerous occasions passed by the outlet of this franchised restaurant from Chennai (102, Syed Alwi Road, tel : +65 6392 5545) down by Race Course Road and have been wanting to check them out. Today, I ended up eating at this particular outlet instead because I happened to be in the vicinity.

Without being sure of what to expect, we ordered what looked like might be interesting from the menu. Ended up with some really spicy and peppery mutton sukka varuval which tasted similarly to the coconut mutton fry which we've had from Spice Junction and a kaadai (quail) briyani. The briyani came with a bird that seemed to be overly cooked. The meat was little tough. I'm probably not going to try these again since it was too much hassle getting the meat out of the bones of such a small bird. The taste just didn't justifying the effort. What I didn't like were the chopped bits of coriander that marred the pretty decent paneer kuruma.

Still, I thought that the food wasn't too shabby. Wouldn't mind coming back.
