Anjappar Hilversum - Chettinad South Indian restaurant — Restaurant in Hilversum

I recently had the pleasure of dining with my family at Anjappar Hilversum, and I must say this was hands down one of the most authentic South Indian meals I’ve had in the Europe.

The Biryani was absolutely outstanding. Perfectly spiced, fragrant, and cooked to perfection—the rice was fluffy, and every bite was packed with flavor. The meat was tender and succulent, absorbing all the aromatic masalas just the way it’s done back home. It’s clear that the kitchen takes pride in staying true to traditional South Indian Chettinad recipes.

What truly blew me away, though, was the Idly. Soft, fluffy, and served warm with sambar and chutneys that tasted homemade. It’s rare or to be honest I never find idlies done right outside India, but Anjappar Hilversum nailed it.

To top it off, the hospitality was just as memorable as the food. The owner and his wife were genuinely warm and welcoming, making us feel like we were guests in their home rather than just diners at a restaurant. We really enjoyed their hospitality and caring.

If you’re craving real South Indian food—with no compromises on flavor or authenticity—Anjappar Hilversum is the place to be. Highly...

We had a wonderful dining experience at Anjappar Hilversum. The food truly captured the authentic Chettinad flavours we were hoping for.

For starters, we tried Prawn 65, Nethili Fry, Chilli Chicken Dry, and Mutton Chukka – every dish was full of bold spices and perfectly cooked. The Prawn 65 was crispy and flavorful, the Nethili Fry had that perfect crunch and coastal touch, and the Mutton Chukka was rich, tender, and packed with aroma.

For mains, we went with Mutton Biryani, Egg Kothu Parotta, and Veg Kothu Parotta. The biryani was fragrant and layered with well-cooked mutton pieces, while both kothu parottas were delicious and satisfying – the egg version had just the right balance of spice and texture.

Service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance felt warm and welcoming. Portion sizes were generous, and the food came out hot and fresh.

Overall, Anjappar Hilversum is a must-visit if you’re craving authentic South Indian non-veg and biryani dishes in the hilversum. Highly...

Dear Anjappar Hilversum, I've ordered couple of times from you and it has not been impressive. Especially since the Amsterdam outlet is such a hit! As a south indian, I really want you guys to be in Hilversum, given the dearth of south indian restaurants. Hence, here's my constructive feedback. Hope you take this into consideration. Please, please, please reduce the oil in your curries. The curries float in oil. This is inspite of specifically mentioning to reduce the oil. I'd rather love for you to save the money on oil and invest in the quantity. That brings me to my second suggestion, please increase the portion size, if not the portion size then at least increase the chicken pieces. Having tiny chicken pieces may give a perception of lot of chicken in your chicken curry but it clearly isn't. Hope you take these suggestions and...
