Our Story

Restoring authenticity to food from the ground up is the missioin that drives us. Restauration is the realization of a dream.

Since 1976

In 1976, “Unavagam”, a small “Kadai” (restaurant like) was started by my parents in our native place Kattur, Trichy, TamilNadu. We served tasty home made food in “banana leaf” anytime people come to our Kadai, we always had some food to serve them. My mom showed her skills in her recipes and my dad did his best with his friendly nature and hospitality. People whoever come to our Kadai, enjoyed the tasty food and our hospitality. The environment became more like family and friends and they started calling “Antony Annachi (Brother) Kadai” with love.

Unlike other kids I spent most of my childhood in the kitchen with my mom. Watching her grinding spices and getting the best creative dishes out of it everyday has always been a fascinating experience.

Traditional

Cooking is not just steaming rice and making a pot of gravy, it is the blending of different spices in their right proportion. Every spice has its own medicinal properties, so food is both appetizing and healthy. The goodness of banana leaf is also highlighted in the Sangam literature. As it serves as a plate it is equally hygienic, healthy and eco- friendly. Its waxy exterior helps prevent sogging when served soupy foods as most of the South Indian meal comprises of curries and soups. It not only serves as a plate but also adds great flavor to the cooked food. Banana leaves are an excellent source of antioxidants, it cleanses the blood, stimulates appetite and also helps in digestion.

My mom always used to tell me that cooking is an art and therefore when it comes from the heart it is well received and appreciated. “Good food brings families together. I want to make your food experience a memorable one every time”, so please come and enjoy bay area Annachikadai.

This was my first time and I was pleasantly surprised! I highly suggest this place to first time Indian food goers. I ordered the non vegetarian all you can eat meal, so we got a little bit of everything! The servers came up and taught us how to properly eat the food. Such great service, amazing atmosphere, and tasty food! I would definitely go again.

Been to this place recently with family. We ordered Idicha Chicken, Mutton Kuzhambu, Mutton Biryani, Fish Curry, Parottas, Vegetable Kurma and Chapathis. Idicha Chicken is a little wet for an appetizer but is very yummy infact I liked it with rice. Mutton curry was good and Fish curry is excellent perfect amount of spicy and tangy. Mutton biryani was tasty but quantity was a little less. Parottas and veg kurma were awesome but chapathis had little extra oil. On the whole food was excellent and We would definitely visit again and refer our friends.
