Place can be more hygenic, the egg parota to go was really off and felt like I was eating crumbs.

This seems to be the most authentic of all the Tamil restaurants i have tried in the south Bay area.
The kothu parotta and the fish varuval were really good.
Overall i would say it was worth the price.

Loved the food — truly authentic Madurai-style cuisine. We had the mutton biriyani, chicken kothu porotta, and Kari dosa, and every bite took me back to my hometown. Even our 3-year-old enjoyed the meal!

The owner was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He even prepared a refreshing lemon nanari sarbath (a traditional Tamil Nadu drink) especially for us.

Thank you for the wonderful food and excellent service. We will definitely be back!

Thali is the best. One of a kind. Tooooo good. Saying that, place smells. Clean it. Keep it tidy.

Update. Thali is worst. Place is still shitty. Changed to 2 stars

I wouldn't lie - the place definitely feels homely. Very simple place with lot of authenticity and local home vibes - I felt that too even though I am not from Chennai or south india.

The ambience is average and service is average too. We had to ask for glasses for water, also needed to ask to refill the water. When we had finished with appetizer, in general the server will remove from table what you are done with - but here it just felt like plates are accumulating. No one to take away that. If the restaurant is busy I can understand that but when we ate - we were practically the only one there. So it wasn't the manpower problem - it is just a service problem.

Coming to food. Pomfret was super good. Really well done. Briyani was a meh - I don't feel Bay Area has best briyani's anyways. I have had better Briyani in places like Seattle, Raleigh and Phoenix. The chicken 65 in Briyani though was pretty good - the typical Chennai style chicken 65 dyed with food colors 😂.

It was super nice of them to prepare filter coffee for us although it wasn't in the menu. Coffee was decent.

The veg thali was also about okay. I didn't tried it but my friend did and that was his review. Their special goat briyani was decent at best - I was hyped up about it but to me.it didn't live up to the expectations.

Annachi Kadai in Mountain View is a great place for authentic South Indian food with excellent taste and quality. The food feels very homely and truly reflects Tamil Nadu style cooking. Their meals, dosas, and curries are all fresh and flavorful.

They also offer a good variety of biryanis, including thalapakattu Chicken Biryani, Mutton Biryani, Egg Biryani, and Veg Biryani, gilma briyani, boneless briyani, The biryanis are aromatic, well cooked, and served in good portions with tasty sides.

The staff are friendly and service is quick. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, and prices are reasonable for the quality of food. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine South Indian cuisine in the Bay Area. Will definitely visit again!
