Anjappar Chettinad Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

Great value lunch and dinner all you can eat fixed price Curry. If u like curry this is for you. Brilliant value. No curry too hot even Vindaloo was mild and full of flavour. We went for lunch and dinner on different days. Very happy customers.

I found that the chicken was not fresh and noticed an unpleasant smell while eating it. I have never experienced anything like this in German restaurants. Also, most of the dishes here are not well seasoned. Other than that, the service and ambience were fine

Ordered a delivery from here (mutton shukka varuval) and it was one of the best curries I have ever had. Most curries in Frankfurt are watery with little flavour, this had a good thick gravy with lots of flavour, and the lamb was beautiful

Good food but the staff was a little unfriendly .

Good Indian cuisine, reasonable prices, fast food, friendly service, excellent selection of spirits.

I had a buffet, then afternoon diarrhea. So I can't comment on dinner or other dishes. Only lunch buffet have hygiene concerns and taste soso.

Had ghee masala Dosa. Was great although the potato filling was a bit bland, probably to cater to the local taste, but the Dosa itself and the dips were amazing. Over all a little expensive, but amazing authentic taste.

Worst hospitality - rude waiter I looked up the menu on the internet and ordered egg kothu parotta by calling them over the phone. The price mentioned on the website was 8€. When I arrived at the restaurant to pickup, the waiter told me to pay 10.5€ which was a bit shocking to me after seeing 8€ at the website. I tried to tell him that it shows 8€ on the website. But he didn't even want to listen to what I was trying to say and got irritated. He kept saying just pay. It was very uncomfortable to stand there when he's treating me very rudely. It's not about the money I'm complaining about, it's about having the right attitude at work. Running a restaurant is not only about serving good food. It's also about hospitality. I would not recommend this restaurant if you expect good hospitality and respect.

20/10/2024 : During my recent business trip, I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant for two consecutive days, and it was an experience worth savoring. If you’re visiting for the first time, skip the buffet and explore the menu options instead. While the buffet stands out compared to many other Indian restaurants, the dishes ordered à la carte are a true step up in flavor and quality. Buffet Highlights:€19.90 Each The chicken biryani was particularly notable, delivering rich, well-balanced flavors. The butter chicken was delightfully authentic, and the pepper chicken had just the right amount of heat. What sets this buffet apart is that each curry has its own unique flavor, unlike many Indian buffets where everything tastes the same. The roti was perfectly crispy, and as a sweet surprise, Kesari was available as a dessert option! Menu Recommendations: From the menu, I tried the mutton biryani, which was aromatic and tender. The special Anjappar Chettinad chicken gravy was a highlight—spicy, flavorful, and truly distinctive. The parotta was freshly made, with a satisfying crispness. To round off the meal, the mango lassi was exceptionally fresh and delicious, adding a refreshing touch to the whole dining experience. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit, with its superior menu offerings providing a richer and more authentic taste than the buffet.

I recently dined at Anjappar and tried the garlic paneer and honey chilli potato. Both were delicious and packed with flavor! However, the customer service was just average, which slightly affected the overall experience. Would recommend the food, but hope for better service next time.

The food is fine. But I would say Nuremberg's branch is better than this one. Overall the atmosphere is good but there are lots of flies and mosquitoes in the washroom area. This spoiled the overall experience. I have visited them twice in 3 months and the situation is the same, more flies & mosquitoes! Please take a quick action about it.

I was making a connection at the Frankfurt (Main) train station. I walked three or four blocks, found this Indian restaurant, left my bags at the entrance and had a very good lunch. The experience was very good. They serve delicious bread for those who have lunch and the price on the weekend is very good. Excellent option for those who like Indian cuisine and don't want to spend a lot to be satisfied in Frankfurt.

Changing my review from previous 5 start to 1 star . What a disastrous chicken Biryani it was . Never going back

Great experience, far better than Sarvanna Vb bhawan, The gentleman at main counter is well behaved person, the girl at Beverages also very polite, the staffs are too good and generous, the ambiece is totally indian, nice toilets as well, Booze quality is good, i prefer buffet on weekends.

Good to have Indian dishes specially weekend buffet lunch. If Hyderabadi biryani is part of buffet it would have been much more enjoyable.

We tried the buffet, which is mostly North Indian. The dishes were okay, and were mildly spiced.

Taste of the food ok , mango lassi was good

I recently visited this restaurant, and I must say, it was an extremely disappointing experience. The service was the worst I have ever encountered. From the moment we walked in, the employees were unfriendly and seemed completely uninterested in providing any level of hospitality. When it came time to pay, I tried to provide some constructive feedback about our poor experience, but it was clear they didn’t care. Even the manager, who I expected to handle the situation professionally, was dismissive. Instead of addressing the issues, he snapped at us and told us not to come back! I was shocked by his behavior—it almost felt like they thought we had just received some free charity dinner rather than paying customers. If you’re looking for a place that values your business or treats you with respect, this is definitely not the restaurant for you.

Indian and Asian cuisine restaurant The prices are suitable for everyone

Bombay Lounge used to be great. This new owner renamed the restaurant to South Indian name 'Anjappar Chettinad' and seems to be owned by Sri Lankan or Pakistani owner. I often observed that they serve food remaining from previous day in Buffet. Very little options and service for Vegan and Vegetarian. Few times there was smell of non-vegetarian (meat/fish) in their vegetarian food. It seems that they do not separate non-vegetarian and vegetarian/vegan food while cooking. There are many Indian restaurants nearby so stopped going there. I do not recommend for vegan and vegetarians.

I liked the buffet and the price is also very reasonable

Previously it was called Bombay Lounge. I appreciated their food. But now most worst experience i ever had. The food was horrible.

Had the buffet. Sambar was stale, I am doubting the food had been heated up for the last few days instead of being freshly cooked.

Had the most amazing dining experience here

Very unfriendly waiter. I was there with my friends from a week ago and we had ordered biryani but it was very, very spicy. Today I first went to a waiter because he was very unfriendly and then I wanted to order a biryani and I asked for it It's possible that we can only manage a little, but he answered very unkindly that no, we can only manage a lot. Unfortunately, then I left the restaurant

Ordered take out : Kola urundai, mutton nalli masala and Ceylon egg parotta. The mutton nalli fry was amazing and on point - spicy with tender pieces of goat and two pieces of bone marrow. The Ceylon parotta was awesome as well. Only reason giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because Kola Urundai could have been better. Overall and authentic Chettinad (South Indian) place. Will be back when I am back in Germany.

We travelled from Luxembourg to Frankfurt for some personal work and decided to have dinner at this restaurant after reading some good reviews. However, our experience was extremely poor. We visited on 15 September for the weekend dinner at €19 per person. Buffet menu was as follows: Veg salad, white rice, Kadhai panneer (without Panneer), sambar (was decent), veg pakoda (was decent), cabbage poriyal, dal (was decent), noodles (very bad), kadhi pakoda (without pakoda). veg biryani, chicken biryani (without chicken), chilli chicken (was awful), egg curry, butter chicken (without chicken), Potato-Brinjal curry, payasam (watery consistency) and maybe one or two other items. Naan was served at the table and was okay. We also ordered Coke Zero which was served at almost room temperature instead of being served chilled. We asked four different waiters multiple times if they could bring us some ice cubes for the coke, only to be ignored after waiting for 5 mins intervals. One of the waiters even laughed at us sarcastically and no points for guessing, ignored our request. Food was served cold. For a total of €46, the experience was nothing short of pathetic. I really wish the management sees this review and course corrects their staff’s behaviour and improves the dining experience.

The byriani lamb was super tasty and I really enjoyed it. The garlic bread definitely needed more... Garlic! There was a bit of confusion and I had to ask two times for my order to come and I ended up eating alone. They certainly need better organisations, but they are very kind people.

Good South Indian restaurant with Lovely taste

Chicken Kothu parotta was below average taste!! It was full of chicken pieces and you need to search for parotta! When I asked the waiter about this , he checked with the chef and came with reply that food was right. When I asked him again, he said that he would change the dish and came back with the same dish with some extra pieces of parotta on the different plate! The special of chettinad restaurant is hospitality, which was completely missing! Ambience was ok with conference hall effect! Completely disappointed experience from Anjappar! Only positive is reasonable price for the quantity! PS: I am a big fan of this restaurant chain in South india and travelled from Frankfurt airport to city only to have dinner during my transit.

The food at this restaurant is consistently good, and we really enjoy the flavors and quality of the dishes. However, the plastic containers used for the curries are of extremely poor quality. On multiple occasions, the containers broke before we even opened them, and small plastic particles ended up in the curry. Unfortunately, we accidentally consumed plastic a couple of times because of this. I truly hope the restaurant addresses this issue soon, as it impacts the overall experience. Improving the packaging would make a huge difference!

Nice restaurant if you are ready to take the best dishes. Service was attentive. Food was quick. Will come again..

Very average food and horrendous service

It’s well placed within frankfurt city. We went there for dinner and ordered kothu parota and anjappar fried chicken with bone which was good. Well served and would visit again. Food was brought without 10-15 of order.

Really confused about pricing, heard that the buffet is 20 euros on a weekend but I went on Thursday and wndwd up paying 20 euros. Is the lunch buffet 12.99 or 19.99. Food was average

I tried a buffet at night It was a really amazing experience for me There were plenty of Indian food both veg & non veg €19.90.It was really worth it

Tried this place for the first time based on reviews. Overall it was disappointing, only Tawa fish fry was good and the south indian veg thali was ok. The milagai bhajji was not what we expected, it was yellow paprika with a thick coating. The chettinad chicken roast was not at all spicy and also had paprika in it which we thought was strange.

Went to the restaurant for the first time with a colleague for the lunch buffet yesterday. Food was great, but not less than 24 hours we started experiencing serious food poisoning for a whole week, and my colleague had to go to the hospital. I’m suspecting the food might not be fresh and have been used for days. I have never felt this unwell before after dining in a restaurant here in Frankfurt.

We went for the buffet in afternoon. The food was especially good. Really tasty and a lot of varieties. Worth for value.

Very tasty food, the buffet is recommended. The á la card dishes are also really good. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Very happy again.

Went to the place for lunch buffet thinking there must be Chettinad food or atleast some other South Indian dish but was disappointed. All the items in Lunch buffet were North Indian. The taste was average. The Nan not crisp. Desert was warm sweet milk and Vermicili. The milk was not boiled long enough for right consistency.

Had veg meal and some non veg dishes . Quite a good spread

Lovely food, lovely drinks and definitely lovely people. The vibe was amazing, our servers were kind and funny people, which made the evening even better. I would definitely recommend it.

Ask for a mystery cocktail and let yourself be surprised. Delicious food and superb staff!

Food was delicious. You can't complain about the all can you eat buffet for €12.90

It used to be one of the best restaurants in germany, when its name was Bombay lounge. Then changed the hands and was good for a while. But now the quality had degraded a lot!!! Beware guys when taking the buffet first smell and taste each thing a bit then eat the ones which are good. A third of the dishes were spoiled when I ate.

Not to recommend. Impolite staff and bad taste.

Great Indian food at cheaper price and good ambiance. I had South Indian masala dosa and came out to be more authentic and Vada was also crispy and fresh. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to experience Indian cuisine.

Great food. Had the wonderful buffet. Good options, friendly and welcoming staff.

My son and I recently visited Frankfort and decided to try different restaurants. We came across this one and thought we would give it a try after some hesitation because there were less than a handful of people in it eating with some looking like staff on break or something. We decided to go with the buffet option. The server told us that on the left side we have vegan and vegetarian dishes and on the right dishes with animal products. This was not accurate, the dishes were mixed up. Ok no big deal if at least they had put a complete description of what was in the platter which they didn't. You essentially had to guess since the server was nowhere to be found. We took a chance that ended up making my son sick after the first bite. He had to leave the restaurant to return to the hotel because the sauce he thought was vegan had animal products. I stayed and finished my food and asked the owner if given the situation I still had to pay for the price for my son's dinner to wish he said yes. I was shocked but hey, maybe this is how things work in that part of the world (or not). Just thought I would share my experience with other international travelers with allergies who may consider that restaurant to not make the same mistake I made.

Had Mango lessi and egg kothu porotta were nice. The chicken thali was not good enough as the sides had less pieces.

Off the bat no complaints about the food and we coming from Hamburg just to eat some good South Indian food. We ordered chaats and some drinks since we already ate biriyani yesterday. Couple of my friends got their order and they had to give us 2 more aloo tikki chat. We waited half an hour during which we asked the lady taking our order that our order is still not served. She was aggressive in saying that it takes time to make the chaat. However after half an hour we came to know that the order was never passed on or the person at the kitchen forgot about it. We were unhappy about the situation and cancelled the chaat. The guy in the bar bacame a bit aggressive all the while not even with a simple sorry for their mistake. He followed us out of the restaurant aggressively and tried to intimidate me by standing face to face. I have never experienced such a behaviour in all my 10 years in Germany. The lady while serving us the dish as well was rude by not even asking where she should place the food and just banged it on the table in the middle. Anyone visiting the restaurant should ask for a different waiter if u see this lady (you will clearly know who I am talking about once u see her and the guy in the bar). Overall a sad experience which I never expected for such a well reputed restaurant chain.

Very authentic and taste really good

The food was very bad. It's not South Indian. The staff were friendly but not interested. You had to offer to eat there yourself. The buffet was cold. Layer of fat on the curries. I regret paying so much money there. Only pani puri is ok.

Saji was extremely kind. Would come back for his kindness ❤️

Always loved how welcoming the staff is! The food, be it North Indian or South Indian both are one of the best. Even the buffet is something that I keep trying occasionally which I have loved it. Kudos to the hardworking staff and amazing chef. Highly recommended for good Indian food!

Super restaurant very well infrastructure and serve as well

One-time visit, unfortunately the buffet has nothing special to offer, everything is like one flavor. Unfortunately, every Chinese snack bar has more to offer. A pity

Very good service by Singh and the other staff and amazing food! Must visit in Frankfurt

Delicious food and great atmosphere.

It's our preferred -to go place. And the vast varieties of food is served according to our taste preference. Won't regret for suggesting others too

I was very disappointed with my visit to Anjappar Restaurant in Frankfurt. Anjappar is a Tamil restaurant and it is understandable that the staff might have difficulty pronouncing the dishes. However, they couldn't even tell which dishes were exactly the ones we ordered. In addition, the employees seemed very listless and disinterested. This was definitely not the experience I expected from Anjappar. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Had abebdbuffet, surprised when I ate some of their dishes from the buffet, for example potato capsicum vegetable and chowmin, they had already gone bad and smelled. I felt like puking afterwards. Suggestion for the restaurant, please try keeping less in menu if you can't serve the quality food, or else stop selling buffet.

Went there for the lunch buffet for the first time. The selection was sufficiently diverse for 12.90. From naan+papadam, meat and vegetarian dishes, soup, salad, and a delicious dessert. We enjoyed everything. Well seasoned and the perfect spiciness for Indian food in Europe 😅. The service was also very friendly. Would love to come back.

Solid 3.5 stars I was really excited about the restaurant because of the South Indian name, unfortunately it was a flop: Ambience like any other cheap chain restaurant, as did the staff, but at least they were friendly and worked quickly, so 4.5 here. Almost all of the food was thick yellow sauces, the likes of which no South Indian ever uses, except for the occasional Vada or Idli and bits and pieces, everything was North Indian uniformity like everywhere else, and usually too much fat to stuff the stomach. You could even tell from the papad where the owners came from. So why still 3 points? The restaurant advertises very cheap buffets, and for the price the food is definitely ok, so you shouldn't expect anything more. Therefore, absolutely ok as a fast food variant and recommended for the coarse taste.

Stale food Crispy dosa was served with staled sambar South Indian butter milk is served with leftover chillies, bitter taste. Never try You are lucky if you get well behaved stewards Avoid stewards who have no time to take your order They make you wait for longer time They expect you to go for buffet Feels like they intentionally mistreat Alcarte preferring guest They are busy looking for non Indian customer Not all Indian customer are treated well if you are Indian from southern part they won’t even greet or ask you sit

We were here for the buffet lunch. Unfortunately the food was lukewarm to cold. Not much vegetarian choice and it took a long time for a waiter to take the drink order.

Staff is friendly and offer customisation of the particular dish. This kind of flexibility is crucial.

Worth for money it had many chicken curry variety briyani and many options for veg as well

Why you wanna degrade your restaurant with such rubbish waiters. Get someone who are welcoming.🤌🏻

You can't say anything for the €12.90 all you can eat buffet. It was super tasty. Everything was freshly prepared. The vada balls were freshly fried all three times we took them. The meat, whether chicken or lamb, was delicious and cooked just right. Even my Indian husband loved the food. There were three of us here with our 2 year old daughter. They had a high chair for her. A bit tight for the stroller. But you find space. Anyway, a recommendation. We will come back.

I had buffet here. Nice indian taste and good service.

Loved our fine dine in experience for the weekend - eat it all buffet. Their biryani is amazing must try. Naan is served hot and fresh to your table, loved their hospitality too.

I ate chole bathure here....it was the best served with sheera. My tummy was full for the amount I paid.

Pathetic experience, rude behavior from the waiters. Stay away from this restaurant.

I was there on Monday June 10th with my wife. We ate lunch. After less than 12 hours we had gastrointestinal problems, then I knew it was food poisoning. Terrible experience.

I have visited Anjappar multiple times, and each experience has been comforting. The authentic South Indian flavors remind me of home. The outdoor tables are clean, the waiters are friendly, and the food is served hot and quickly. If you’re looking to try South Indian non-veg dishes with a good spice kick, this is the place to go.

It’s very tasty food and very nice place! It’s beautiful and cute atmosphere.

The best Indian 🇮🇳 food I ever had

Not recommendable!!! The situation there is not working at all. It's very unhygienic; the tables were all dirty. The buffet was very small and looked neither hygienic nor fresh. But the worst thing wasn't the cleanliness, but the food. There were two of us there on Monday and both of us had stomach pains. It turns out that I have food poisoning and my companion has salmonella and has been sick in bed for a week! That's not possible at all!

I recently visited the restaurant and unfortunately was very disappointed with my experience. Right at the beginning I was brought a plate that was dirty and had visible stains. When I asked the waiter to bring me a clean plate, I received a second plate that was also not clean and had stains on it. What was particularly annoying was that in good light outside you could clearly see the dirt. This is a clear sign of poor hygiene and care in the restaurant. Additionally, the waiters were very careless and seemed to have little interest in correcting these problems. I hope the restaurant places more emphasis on cleanliness and service in the future as this was a very unpleasant experience overall. Unfortunately, based on these experiences, I cannot recommend the restaurant.

We were there on Monday, and I finally got out of bed, my friend and I met for lunch, and it cost us severe gastroenteritis. I had been many times but I will not return. Questionable food hygiene or condition. Also the last few times I have had to chase the waiter to order the drinks. Never more.

Good lunch buffet at €13. One drink could be included with the buffet though.

Food was very tasty and authentic. Enjoyed my first visit with family and friends. We will come over again to try the other dishes too. Definitely recommending for food lovers.

The ambience is really nice . Foods quite authentic from India . Love bonda the most . Crispy & fresh . The rest of the dishes are great as well . Love the buffet spread . Wish that it has more dessert sections and also more other food choices .

With the best Indian food in Frankfurt, very authentic cuisine. We have been here several times and will come more often. Price-performance is very good. :)

Good quality & ambience and cheaper than others that are in the vicinity. I definitely recommend trying south indian food here.

A photo tells more than 1000 words. 1. Extremely delicious. 2. Extremely clean. 3. Top service. 4. Great reception. 5. Price is too low in relation to what you get. Usually my stomach bloats and I get heartburn from Indian/European food. It's authentically Indian here! Unfortunately I can only give 5 stars, I would like to give 10 if it were possible. Respect to the owner.

Horrible microwaved food. Plus, I sat there for 20 mins and no one came to take order. I had to go to them. If you want to have stale microwaved food and bad service. Then you are at the right place.

Sorry to say this, food taste worst am not sure it's bcoz of Buffet menu.. I am not sure about other normal menu. Utthappam and Sambar is really good. Biriani and Kesari sweet are worst.. Location and atmosphere is good. I went inside, people nothing cared about. I don't what to do whether I can directly go and take food or wait for waiter come and ask🙄😂. Then finally ate buffet and paid bill and came out.

Service is worst the aspect of this restaurant. The employees doesn't even care about customers. Indian food is about hospitality. Anjappar chose wrong representative for their franchise in Frankfurt. Tamil Food comes with some special hospitality.

I was a little aprehensive about going here based on the mixed reviews online and stuff I read on IG. However, the trip we made was a postive experience. Food has not lost it's south indian taste - as much reported online. Of course if you know what dishes to order. Ambience is nice, and centrally located just a short walk away from the train station. My recommendation from the Anjappar in Singapore is always the Chicken Briyani, Lolipop chicken and Gobi Manchurian. Can't match the taste of what I've had regularly in Singapore, but really good for German standards.

Manager here was really rude. Doesn't know how to deal with customers

I made a order for Noodles and billed the same but when I reached home and checked it was rice :( it was 1 hour drive back to go and give back so thought of calling but no response

I am extremely unsatisfied with food and service.Third time my food item was missing and they didn’t attend my call.Mango lassi is an absolute joke here!(Alot of sugar rather than mango). Personally recommend NOT to get a DELIVERY service from this Restaurant.Employees don’t pay attention while packing the order. I promise next time never order food from this restaurant.

Awesome taste. Special thanks to Mr. Dennis. 10 on 10 restaurant. Ataur Rahman from Alps and Banks

The food is very authentic and value for money. Highly recommended, we had an amazing dinner.

I ate there, all meat dishes are now only prepared with bones, no more breast, very cheap

Poor service, staff was rude and inattentive. Food quality was bad 😞... Long waiting time after ordering. Never again!! 😭

Very Pathetic Service. Very Rude behavior of Floor Manager and Waiters. Food Quality is Ok but Not as per Price. Buffet has Good items but you have to WAIT min 2 hrs to get Refills of Specific items. I will not suggest to anyone to visit this place.
