Dinner at Anjappar, Alwarpet

The other day, we visited to Anjappar hotel for the dinner, while back to home from Trade Fair and beach. Myself and Geethu went for Naan as she loves Chappathi and used to be regular dinner dish and my H and Sis-in-laws gone for Appam and Mutton Biriyani varieties. Other side dishes we order for Mutton Gravy, chicken lollypops and one more gravy dish, which I dint notice. 

As we were waiting for food, I had to keep showing Geethu the hotel interior to keep her calm and controlled. From our seat, we could see some of the nice paintings showcasing Krishna's childhood art in one wall, and Elephant drawn elegantly in other wall. Inside the hall, they seem to have installed artistic Chettinadu pani Thoons (pillars). The roof of the room was not much decorated as it used to be in Karaikudi hotels but ornamented with doom glass bulbs which look good.

When the Naan arrived, Geethu could swallow only 4 pieces though fine but bit hard for a 3 year old. Luckily, the chicken lollypops arrived by then and was not very hot and spicy and thankfully good enough for her taste. So she had around 1 and 1/2; by that time, I had completed my Naan and a part of Mutton Biriyani which tasted well. But the Appams, my H and in-law ordered were seemed to be not tasted to them very well as we had our homemade appams 2 weeks back at home finely made (by me :-)). May be, the appam dish has to be improved there. Also they ordered for Dosa, a nice and thin one running to an arm's length.

The hotel also features a fish tank ponding a long single fish, which myself and Geethu were watching and enjoying until the bills were paid out. It is very much appreciative, they have kep enough waiting seats near the fish tank, so that waiting diners could spend time watching it and the customers and the children who accompany them also would enjoy their time.
  • It is on the TTK road, left side while coming from the beach towards mylapore area (first floor). 
  • Good Interior decoration and fish tank in a strategic place, which can be viewed from inside the hotel and outside as we reached up the hotel via stair case
  • Highlight food is Chicken lollypop but a plate of 5 pieces cost Rs. 105. As a homemaker, I find it bit expensive. 
  • Negatives, I forgot to take snaps :-)
