Aappakadai was started with the thought of introducing the taste and flavors of Aappam to Northern California, United States. Aappakadai was started with a small team of experienced chefs who are passionate about South Indian Chettinad Food. The recipes of Aappakadai come from the spice racks of the Grandmother. Traditionally fresh and hot home-made ‘Aappam’ were sold by Aappakadai as a breakfast dish in the streets of Chettinad.
‘Aappam’ is a specialty dish from the Chettinad, made of fermented rice flour. Traditionally Aappam is served with coconut milk. But Aappakadai serves Aappam with various Chettinad spicy dishes like Goat Paaya.

I recently had a delightful dining experience at the newly opened India restaurant. From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the beautiful ambiance that transported us to the vibrant streets of India. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure our evening was exceptional.

We ordered egg biryani. It was so dry and definitely not from today’s. It was a refrigerated one and warmed for the order. Horrible. And when we called, the guy was not even denying it and was apologizing. How does that make it right? The business should be shut down immediately. Sad to see something like this in Mountain House.

Newly opened Appakadai restaurant in Mountain House near Tracy California USA. This Appakadai Chettinad restaurant basically based from South Indian Tamil. Atmosphere and Service was excellent. Food was also good but quantity was very very less in comparison with it’s restaurant located in Pleasanton California.

I arrived with my family, tried the original Chettinad cuisine, and ordered whole fish fry (pompano), crab curry, and chicken tikka, all of which were excellent. My recommendation is to make the chicken tikka a little bit spicier.

NEVER GIVE-UP It’s me
The first time I visited here with my family members, I was really happy with the food and service we like tandoori chicken and egg fried rice. The only thing we are from south India we like is a little more spicy.
