"Good for tamilnadu style nonveg food. I like the Mutton kuthu porotta. Basically this is a very small restruant non as Aapu kadai. Bachelors living in rolla area uses this restruant and also small family crowds aswell . It busy during the evening especially after 9.00 pm."

"We used to go to buy aprotta and salna since it is gluten atleast monthly once we used to taste that, and almost other items also tasted it's all ok in taste and presentation but I can suggest please don't show the kitchen from side counter because we worried about our health while we see the neatness inside the kitchen, please upgrade on neatness."

"I recently dined at appa kada and it was a delightful experience! The ambiance was inviting, the service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying [dosa]. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the overall atmosphere enjoyable. It's definitely a great spot for South Indian food lovers. I'll be returning for another fantastic meal!""

"4 June 2023 The food has the same great taste, value and good for stomach. The people are very nice. Mutton biryani is superb tasty and good. The cost is nothing compared to other costly, low quality and lower tasty biriyani. 8 August 2022 The biriyani (I had egg) is same always the same taste and superb and the cost is AED10 which is unthinkable now. The guys are as always welcoming. 24 July 2021 Pays is very good. I normally eat dosa and there will be three types if chutney and sambar is very good. The cost is also very less."

"The bucket biryani at this establishment is truly a game-changer, offering convenience without compromising on flavor. The authentic Tamil Nadu biryani, rich with aromatic spices and tender meat, transports diners to the heart of South India with every mouthful. Pair it with the delectable dalcha for a culinary experience that leaves taste buds tingling with delight. And let's not overlook the other culinary delights on offer! From the flaky paratas to the sumptuous chicken gravy, each dish showcases the culinary prowess of the chefs. The dosa roast, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, is a testament to the art of South Indian cooking. And of course, no South Indian meal is complete without the perfect accompaniments of sambar and chutney, adding layers of flavor to every bite. In a city filled with culinary delights, this establishment stands out as a must-visit destination for anyone craving authentic Tamil Nadu flavors. Cost :5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Staff 5/5"

"They offer Tamil Nadu-style cuisines. This is the first time I've had sambar, chutney, masala dosa, and idali in the UAE in tamilnadu style. Little rush for dinner. Both vegetarian and non vegetarian food is available. Yummy dinner at an affordable price."

"I recently visited this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the Masala Dosa and Vada, and both were absolutely delicious. The dosa was perfectly crisp with a flavorful potato filling, and the vada was light, crispy, and full of authentic taste. The accompanying chutneys and sambar were fresh and added even more to the experience. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely a place I would love to visit again!"
