" I was excited to try AappaKadai based on recommendations, but it turned out to be a mixed bag for me. The ambiance was inviting, but the service was really slow. When I finally received my Naatukozhi curry, I found it to be flavorful but with too many bones and little meat. The mutton biryani I tasted was decent, but not exceptional. I'm still on the fence about whether to return, especially given the prices. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried AappaKadai recently and was truly impressed! The chicken curry was bursting with flavor and the mutton biryani had the right amount of spices and aroma. Although the service was on the slower side, the food made up for it. I look forward to trying more dishes on their menu on my next visit. Great find! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely restaurant AappaKadai is! I absolutely enjoyed my meal here - the crab masala took my breath away! The service was friendly, making our experience even better. I look forward to trying their weekend buffets next time. Don't pass up the chance to dine here if you get the opportunity. " (*Curated Review*)

" AappaKadai seems to be a hit or miss. My first experience was great, I thoroughly enjoyed the idlis and sambar. However, on a return visit, the food seemed less impressive and the service was frustratingly slow. I think I caught them on an off day, but I’m hesitant to return given the inconsistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" AappaKadai has some fantastic dishes! I really enjoyed their mutton soup which was comforting and rich. However, the service could use some improvements; it took a while to get our orders taken and food served. Nonetheless, if you're a fan of authentic South Indian flavors, this place is worth a visit. I’d definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
