Anjappar Chettinad Restaurant — Restaurant in Mississauga

Excellent Chettinad food.

This is one of the 3 Anjappar locations in the GTA, and is located close to Square One. The quality and service are just as great.

I had the chicken rassam soup and the pomfret masala fry. Both were excellent.

Mutton bone soup was excellent. Note, it is a bone broth soup and not a meat soup.

Also have tried cream corn soup, excellent.

If you like chicken wings, I recommend the andhra chicken appetizer which is frenched chicken drumsticks glazed in a chilli chicken Hakka style sauce. This is how chicken wings should be. Your baseline standard for chicken wings will change after you try these.

If you have come to Toronto as a tourist and want to try something memorable and original, try the mutton chuka thali plate.

I have tried the mutton chuka plate and it was first class. Quality accompaniments. Rice was excellent quality. The mutton curry was superb, quality boneless cuts, deep thick curry sauce, very spicy.

Chicken Dum biriyani was also good. Authentic Madras style biriyani taste.

See the picture of the ghee paper masala dosa. A rice crepe with a diameter of 24 inches, stuffed with mashed potatoes, and served with several dippings (2 chutneys and 2 sambars). This and the Thali plate are 2 things to try if you are a tourist here. I have tried the mutton and chicken thali plates, the mutton curry one is highly recommended as the curry is richer and deeper (have a look at the pictures)

And see the picture of the paper roast, which is the massive dosa. It's like the ghee paper masala doda but hollow and larger.

The shrimp masala fry is excellent too. This will be the most intense shrimp dish you will taste anywhere in the GTA. It's a common snack in seaside towns in south India and Sri Lanka. The curry is very strong and the spice level is intense.

Both the pepper fry shrimp and chicken are explosive. These are authentic Chettinad dishes.

The parottas (se pictures) are super fluffy and soft. From the payment counter, you can see the chefs make fresh batches regularly. These are expertly made.

Anjappars does serve some non-Chettinad dishes, and the Malabar chciken is one example. I tried this and it was a decent rendition of a malabar dish.

I've tried the south Indian coffee here (see the video), and it is authentic. The coffee is rich and the dairy essence is pleasant. This is much better than anything you will get at Starbucks. The taste and essence are unbeatable. This is how a coffee stall in south India, Singapore, or Malaysia would make it. This is also how homes in Tami lNadu and Kerala make it.

All 3 Anjappar locations have a manager who is attentive, observant, and particiates in restaurant duties and they have oversight over quality. Whichever location you choose, you can be sure that you will get a quality dining experience.

I have to remark on the furniture and the cutlery. They are always in tiptop shape. All serving dishes are spotless when they arrive. The tables themselves have copper cladding which is interesting and is stainless. I can't say the same about many of the downtown steakhouses where cutlery is scored and scratched all over and plates look used in-spite of washing.

The manager at this location goes out of his way to make sure the guests are enjoying. Every time I dine here, at least 3 staff will come and check on my dining experience, which shows Anjappar cares about quality. This kind of attention to customer satisfaction is hard to find even at places like The Keg. Even at many downtown steakhouses, staff don't check on you more than twice during your visit. Remarkable.

Many of the Toronto core restaurants should learn from Anjappars what quality food and service means. Anjappars focuses on quality food first, unlike many of the Toronto core popups that are more interested in being poppin on Instagram and their revenue than they are on their...

Spoiled biriyani/rotten smell/$120 gone/disappointment on new year. I wanted to give 0 star for my experience. I have ordered small tray of mutton chukka biriyani on 31st dec for new year. It cost around $120. I ordered for my guest whom I invited for the new year party. I picked the biriyani around 7pm. When I opened the tray around 11pm, I had the rotten smell and complete tray of Biriyani has been spoiled. Since the restaurant was closed at that time, I called next day morning and raised the complaint. They asked me to bring the biriyani back and I clearly mentioned that I am living 100kms away, they said we will do some thing for you either replacement biriyani or refund the money back. I travelled almost 100km from Barrie to Mississauga and gave the full tray of biriyani. After few minutes, they said we can’t give refund for this as we get complaint only from you, not from any other customers. I don’t understand, how come they are so irresponsible and provided this unacceptable reply. At least they should have tell the same through phone. I travelled all the way from Barrie, really I got frustrated with their reply. They should have checked the food before giving to any customers. When customers is travelled 100kms to get the food from your restaurant, you should have provide good service. I am living in canada more than 5 years now, I never had this kind of worst experience from any other restaurants. Good that we ordered chicken biriyani from BBQ tonight (this biriyani was too good till next day evening) so we managed with that, else everyone will be in complete disappointment on new year. When customer is raising complaint, please learn to acknowledge that first and try to response them back politely. Pathetic restaurant, you spoiled the reputation of Anjappar. If it reaches to higher officials, please take this matter very serious. You will get similar review from my friends also since our new year has been spoiled because of you. Also please try to teach your management people how to handle...

🍽️ The Food Every dish we ordered was a celebration of South Indian flavors, executed with finesse and authenticity:

Chicken Grand Meals: A generous spread that felt like a home-cooked feast. Each component—from the spicy curries to the comforting rasam—was perfectly balanced and deeply satisfying. Chicken Biriyani: Fragrant, rich, and layered with flavor. The chicken was tender and the rice beautifully spiced, making it a standout. Mutton Kothu Porotta: A knockout dish! The shredded parotta mixed with succulent mutton and spices was bold, hearty, and addictive. South Indian Coffee: Strong, aromatic, and served piping hot—just the way it should be. A perfect palate cleanser and comfort drink. Pineapple Kesari: A delightful end to the meal. Sweet, fruity, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, it added a refreshing twist to the traditional dessert.
