" I just had the most delightful brunch at AappaKadai with friends! The appams were crisp, and I was blown away by the accompanying mutton paya - it was rich and comforting. We also had their special crab masala, which was just bursting with flavor. Though the service was a bit slow due to the crowd, it didn’t dampen our mood. Lastly, the ambience was perfect for a lazy Sunday. Highly recommend this restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" AappaKadai is my go-to place for authentic South Indian food! I've tried their naattu kozhi kari and idli sambhar, and I can't rave enough about them. The flavors are genuine and take me back home! The restaurant gets pretty busy during weekends, but the servers are usually attentive. I’m a huge fan of their breakfast buffet and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a variety of tasty options! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited AappaKadai on a Wednesday, and they had a special dosa night. They had various options, all of which were delicious! The place had a good vibe and was busy with families enjoying their meals. Pricing was reasonable for the quality of food. This is a great place for anyone wanting to enjoy South Indian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time at AappaKadai, and I had high expectations. The overall ambiance was nice, but the wait time to get our food felt a bit excessive. I ordered the mutton roast, and although it was good, I’ve had better elsewhere. However, the appams and chutneys were spot on! I'd like to return to try out more of their menu since there are so many delicious looking options. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been visiting AappaKadai for years, and it continues to impress me! They have the best Chettinad chicken curry that I’ve ever tasted. Plus, I enjoy their warm service, and the ambiance feels like home. Although the prices are a little high, the flavors justify it. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic South Indian food!

" What a delightful experience at AappaKadai! We tried their crab masala special on recommendation and it was sublime. The flavours were very authentic, and the seafood was fresh. The ambiance was warm and inviting, though it did get busy. Staff were friendly and kept us informed about wait times. I absolutely plan to return for another visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall a good experience at AappaKadai. The ambiance was vibrant, especially during lunch hours. I tried their chicken curry, which had a good flavor but felt it could have been a bit spicier. The service was quick, but the portions could improve. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy South Indian dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
