" I visited Aappakadai out of curiosity and was treated to an unexpected culinary delight. The fish curry was the star of the show, bursting with authentic flavors. The venue is bright and cheerful, combining elements of South Indian culture with modern decor. The service was super helpful and made sure everything was to my liking. I look forward to coming back and trying more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Aappakadai was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the warm and inviting atmosphere, I was disappointed with the veal biryani which felt morelike overcooked rice with a few pieces of meat added. The garlic lollipop was flavorful and a highlight of my meal. Service was excellent though, the staff were attentive and quick to respond. Despite the shortcomings in the main course, I feel this place has potential and I'll probably give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" My adventure to Aappakadai ended on a sour note. The gobi 65 tasted overly greasy and lacked crunch. The ambience felt a bit cluttered, which didn’t help in trying to enjoy my meal. On the flip side, service was commendable; the staff demonstrated great energy and management. I would have loved for their dishes to mirror the authenticity they promise, but I left rather unsatisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I decided to try Aappakadai. I must say the food lived up to my expectations! The kothu porotta was exceptionally good. The staff was amiable and welcoming, which created a pleasant atmosphere. I do wish they would improve the seating and cushion comfort; it felt a bit stiff after a while. Overall though, a lovely place to dine and relish South Indian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Aappakadai certainly brings the authentic taste of South India to Folsom! I loved their coconut curry with appam; the fresh flavors were delightful and comforting. The venue provides a wonderful atmosphere that also fit well with our celebratory vibe for the night. The server was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and no doubt enhanced our experience. Definitely a place I will recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, Aappakadai is a breath of fresh air for Indian cuisine here in Folsom. The flavors are spot on, especially if you're looking for authentic Chettinadu dishes. The thali was bursting with flavors that were both local and traditional, satisfying every taste bud! Also, love that they have outdoor seating which adds to the ambiance. Service was friendly and helpful, which made the entire outing worthwhile. Definitely coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" The non-veg thali at Aappakadai was hands-down the best thali I've ever had! Each dish was rich and flavorful and left me wanting more. It was absolutely authentic, transporting me back to my childhood meals at home. The service was impeccable, ensuring that we never felt ignored. I do wish the restaurant would look into slightly lowering their prices as it can get a bit pricey for a regular visit, but the food is truly worth it! Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
