Masa Aappakadai Family Restaurant

We are located at No 89 on the main road of Anna Salai, which many people still call Mount Road. Our restaurant is right opposite the Makkah Masjid, which is a very busy part of Chennai. Being in 600002 means we are in the center of a lot of activity. We call ourselves Masa Aappakadai Family Restaurant. It’s a place where we make aappams and other food for the local families. The noise from the traffic on Anna Salai is constant. You can hear the buses and the horns all day and night. We have a simple dining area with fans that stay on all the time because of the Chennai heat. It’s not a polished or fancy place. The tables are plain and we don't have any of that modern decor you see in malls. We just focus on getting the food out to the tables. During prayer times at the masjid across the street, it gets even more crowded with people. We see a lot of the same faces every day. We don't have a big marketing budget or a fancy mission statement. We just run the restaurant the way we know how. The staff is just a few of us who have been here for a while. It’s a lot of work keeping everything clean and the customers happy, but we just take it one day at a time. It’s just how it is here and we don't try to be anything else.
