We, a family of four visiting Malaysia from the UK, dined at this restaurant four times during our stay in Johor Bahru. We explored various South Indian dishes, and the food was consistently excellent—flavorful, high-quality, and generously portioned. The staff were friendly, the environment was spacious and family-friendly, and the restaurant was clean. Food prices were very reasonable, especially for foreigners, as they were much lower than in our home country. We brought local guests who shared our positive experience. This place is a must-visit for an authentic South Indian culinary experience.

Mr. Arun Pandiyan provided exceptional service, characterized by his calm and polite demeanor. His contributions are highly valued, and I believe he merits advancement to a higher position. Additionally, the lunch experience was outstanding, particularly the mutton siriga samba biryani, which was absolutely amazing. Furthermore, the meen policadhu was superb. Overall, the food and service were excellent. #Service #Excellence #Food #Biryani #Promotion

I tried the Virunthu Thali Set at Restaurant Anjappar, Taman Pelangi, and it was a truly satisfying experience. The thali was generously served with a variety of traditional South Indian dishes, each prepared with authentic flavors. The curries were rich and aromatic, the vegetables were well-cooked and flavorful, and the rasam and sambar added a comforting touch. The rice paired perfectly with the gravies, and the overall presentation felt wholesome and homely. It was a filling meal that reflected Anjappar’s signature taste and quality. The service provided by Mr. Arun Pandiyan was excellent. He was polite, attentive, and very professional throughout the meal. He ensured everything was served promptly, explained the dishes clearly, and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. His friendly attitude and dedication truly enhanced the dining experience.

Had a wonderful late-night dinner experience at Anjappar Restaurant. We walked in quite late around 10.30pm, but were still warmly welcomed. Special thanks to Vasanth for his exceptional and genuinely warm service — he made us feel comfortable and never rushed, despite the late hour. Service like this truly makes a difference. The food was excellent, full of flavour and very satisfying. The ambience was great, clean and pleasant, making it a perfect spot to end the day. Definitely worth coming, especially when you’re hungry and looking for great food with outstanding service. Will surely return!

Had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! The falooda was the best ever — absolutely delicious and refreshing. The biryani was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Even though it was peak period, the customer service was still very good and attentive. Highly recommended!
