Anjappar Chettinad Restaurant is a privately owned and operated casual restaurant chain that operates primarily in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The first Anjappar opened in 1964 in Chennai.[1] Since then, it operates over 30 restaurants in India, the United States, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Canada, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Singapore.[2] The Anjappar restaurants focus on producing traditional Chettinad food.[3]

History

The owner, Mr. Anjappar, who belongs to Karaikudi in Chettinad, initially started catering to the crew of an MGR film “Sange Muzhangu”. The food prompted MGR to invite him as his personal chef. With inspiration and support from MGR, he started the restaurant in 1964.[4] The current owners are Rangasamy, Kandasamy and Marudu Pandi.
