Anjappar Indian Cuisine Reviews
Great food and taste great
I wouldn’t even give it 1 star. But had to post it coz I had to write a review. Every time we have gone to this restaurant we have had a bad experience. But we do go back coz of the brand name and good experience we have had in other countries and cities. Tonight was the worst experience. We had a two day tiring trip and we headed back to NYC hungry. Called Anjappar at 9pm to place order for pick up. The lady took the order and said they are open till 10.30pm tonight due to long weekend and that we can walk in and dine in if we wanted to. As we were 15 mins away and Manhattan traffic is unpredictable, Still to be safe we ordered for 1 chicken biryani and 1 mutton biryani to keep it ready for us. We reached exactly at 9:30 and they said they close at 9:30pm while the restaurant was still filled with people. The lady who spoke with us on the phone came to us and said she forgot that they close at 9:30pm. She also had the audacity to tell that she forgot to place our order for pick up as well. However she asked to sit at a table and told us to wait as she can check in the kitchen. We were sitting in the restaurant for 20mins waiting. Mind you they didn’t even have the courtesy to serve us water. At 9:50 when we went and asked at the counter for updates, one lady said “no food, go home” in a rude harsh tone as if she was giving us food for free. We then asked the lady who spoke with us on the phone and also who told she forgot to place our order. She then went and checked in the kitchen and told us “sorry the chef has left.” When asked why were we seated without any reason, she again had the audacity to tell us that she forgot. Every time we go we’ve always spent from $150 for a party of a 2 to an extent of $400 for a party of 5. We’ve even brought in groups of 10 people. All friends and family who visit us would like to go Anjappar because of the good global brand it has made. But we’ve been shamed every single time by the bad conduct and arrogant behaviour of the servers. They have no feeling of apology or concern for customers. Especially regular local customers like us. If Anjappar wants to maintain its good brand name, they really need to change the management here. From over Anjappar experiences, a little aged man with glasses ( who was not there today) has always been a bitter experience as he thinks he gives us food for free. The two ladies with glasses - they are arrogant and have no conduct of treating customers. The other Asian lady who said “no food, go home” as well. Not sure if the whole troop of servers are controlled by someone who is the same kind or that it is lack of management, but because of this Manhattan branch, the real amazing Anjappar experience we’ve been having from other countries and cities will soon be lost.
