Hi I had ordered food from AAT ..it was a combo lunch .The food was awesome specially the pork .But I expect more quantity via vis the price ....you know what I mean ......."dil mange more as they say"....and one more point. .and a very important one .....that is "delivery on time" it would be a special favour for us hungry customers to get food on time.
Hope my critical appreciation will be of help for the AAT who are already doing good but nevertheless being competetive always pays.
By the way AAT stands for "Anglo Aunty's Takeaway. "
Regards.
Ordered n Got for a friend from London! He loved it! Keep up the Mouth watering taste!!!
Excellent food. portion size is perfect for the price. Should try definitely. it's in the centre of the city. I have always ordered online and the owner is very accommodating and humble.
too expensive for the quantity. like home cooked.
I ordered a chicken sandwich and a chicken cutlet. The taste was really good and it was less oily. The sauce (I think it is chillie sauce) was really really yummy. Would have given a 5 point rating if it was not for the price. Considering the quantity, I think it's a bit over priced.
Tried the Pork Vindalo. Salt was less and didn't get the vinegar taste associated with the dish. The Beef roast was good. Also liked the Pork fry tried earlier.
the pork biryani is a must try, and plz dont walk into an anglo indian joint and have veg. food lol (they suck at veg. items but the pork and the pickles make u wana go back for another round)

Lately, Chennai is buzzing with restaurants. Every week there are atleast a couple of new places coming up and now, the city has cuisines from all over the world. You name it and it's there. Amidst all these, there's this little takeaway joint, the only place that serves Anglo-Indian cuisine.
Like their name says, located right next to Irezumi in Nungambakkam, it's a small kiosk where you can just do a takeaway. Mallika wanted a bunch of us foodies to sample the food and give her the feedback. Here's mine:
My bag had:
* Peas pulav
* Chicken Biriyani
* Anglo chicken curry
* Chicken cutlet
* Devil's chutney
* Chicken pickle
* Brinjal pickle
All of the items were packed with wondeful flavors; light on the tummy. Cannot comment on the authenticity of the food as this was my first time with Anglo-Indian cuisine, but I WOULDN'T MIND HAVING THIS FOOD ALL MY LIFETIME. Loved the subtle flavors. ❤
Packaging was neat and everything was labelled. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. My rating says it all! I'm definitely going back to taste some of their beef and pork items (couldn't get them home because I didn't wanna be homeless).
Holy shit!
Ordered a pork roast, and got a box full of amazing, delicious dripping taste explosion! It was soft, warm and a class apart.
Previously, had ordered a biriyani, mostly was disappointing. This roast pork though, has more than made amends for that debacle!
Goes amazing with the high spirits. :'D

A good roast is something that I've craved for ages in Chennai. Things would've been great if I hadn't tasted ample samples of perfect roasts during my stint abroad but unfortunately, I did and it was something I've fancied for a long long time. This is when I got to know about Anglo Aunty's Takeaway. A fellow foodie friend of mine had tried them a while ago and she loved it. This not only ensured the eatery a place in my 'Gotta try' list, it also landed itself at the top spot, courtesy, the fact that they sell beef as well as pork. Thanks to my messed up work timings, I wasn't able to reach them as fast as I wanted to but that's when I had the opportunity to try them through an invite and that was an offer, that I couldn't refuse. That's how I got to try Anglo Aunty's takeaway and this review is based on this splendid experience.
After placing my orders with the proprietor, who was very sweet and took note of my preferences, I reached the spot. Anglo Aunty's Takeaway is located on College Road (That one way road that connects Sterling Road to Nungambakkam high road). This takeaway joint is situated outside the famous Irezumi Tattoo Parlour and is right next to Nungambakkam's Cream Centre. There is enough space to park a couple of bikes and since I was there on a late evening, I had no troubles in parking my car. The joint is well lit with an illuminated name board thereby making it hard to miss.
The person in-charge of the shop had been informed on my preferences which were kept ready. He was sweet enough to give me a shot of their homemade non-alcoholic wine. A quick gulp made me cherish its flavour which was divine to say the least. After getting back home, as slow as I can, to prevent cops from stopping me and telling me to blow, I sat down to relish on the treats.
The packaging was neat and the dishes were labelled perfectly. I had gotten portions of Beef Cutlets, Pork Curry Bowl, Anglo Beef Roast and Pork Biriyani. Had the cutlets as a starter. The patties were cooked to perfection and it was meaty, making it one of the best non veg cutlets available in town. Being a biriyani lover, I jumped straight for it. It was also the most interesting dish as I haven't had biriyani with pork meat. A spoonful was enough to give me a sample of how good it was. It has the perfect taste one would find in a good mutton biriyani. The flavours were perfect and the pork pieces were flawlessly cooked.
The beef roast was obviously my sought after dish in the lot. The portion was humongous and it was the first thing I noticed. The impeccably cooked beef roast was braised so well that the juices have been left intact making the meat succulent. I remember the owner saying that the technique used was her family recipe and I understand completely on why family recipes stand the test of time. The Pork Curry Bowl was pretty good too but it had quite a dense layer of oil on top. Most of them would love the pork fat but I prefer the meat to the fat chunks and the meaty ones from this side, tasted good. The curry was soupy, making it a good side for rice. In my opinion, it could've been better. I also got to try a bit of their pork pickle and chilli chutney and they were out of this world.
What I personally love about this place is the quality and quantity. While restaurant food hits one's stomach, it's homemade food that hits the soul and this place does a very good job of hitting that bulls-eye. Even though at first glance of the menu, it did look a tad expensive, after seeing the quantity and tasting the food, I can surely say that it's worth every penny. What I can also say is the fact that the Anglo Aunty's Takeaway will be seeing me quite often.

Location & Ambience: It’s a takeaway place and you can place your order via call or zomato online order. And their Nungambakkam outlet is on the college road. Though the correct given is correct when you click on the maps to get directions it leads to a completely wrong destination. So just head your way to college road, after you cross Good Shepherd you can spot the outlet on your left side before cream centre restaurant and Regional Meteorological Centre. And considering they only do takeaway, the place is similar to a kiosk setup.
Taste & Variety: It’s authentic Anglo Indian cuisine and I have no idea about the cuisine. So I am not going to comment about the authenticity and going to just stick to the taste. Since it was an on-the-house invite to taste their food, the choice of dishes as well was left to them. So when I went to pick my food the package contained - Chicken Cutlet, Chicken Curry Bowl, Peas Pulav, Chicken Biriyani and some Anglo pickle & chutney.
The chicken curry loaded with tanginess from tomato, juicy pieces of chicken and potato is typical home style comfort food that would perfectly blend with the Peas Pulav. Indeed this is the combination they suggest as well. The essence of spices like star anise, cardamom, etc., just elevates the flavour of peas pulav. Typically how the pulav and chicken curry are made at some of the South Indian households at Chennai.
Chicken Biriyani again exhibited the depth of flavours from the different spices used. I never prefer star anise in my biriyani as the essence of that dominates the complete taste of a dish so this style of biriyani isn’t my favourite. But nevertheless the succulent chicken and the flavour of the biriyani was enjoyed by others. But I definitely missed the raitha considering the spiciness that hits you from the biriyani.
Chicken cutlet was their best pick, the crispy outer crust and the chicken flavour in the cutlet was great; as well the cutlet wasn’t oily. But they should change the way they pack their chicken cutlet, mine was almost broken so may be a box would be a better option so the cutlet doesn’t break and also stays hot.
Finally, coming to their pickle & chutney. The chicken pickle with strong flavour from the ginger and heat from the chillies was bang-on, a must try. The Brinjal pickle was another favourite of mine, the tanginess and subtle spice was so good. And the Devil’s chutney was spicy as well as a tiny bit of sweetness hits you, it reminded me the sweet and tangy chinese sauces you get for dim sums.
Definitely beef and pork lovers have an upper hand as they have more dishes to try, but one good thing is they are planning to add more dishes for chicken lovers. And vegetarians really do not have options except sandwich, brinjal pickle and peas pulav; again as the veg options are not opted much it’s better to enquire them before hand about the availability.
Quality & Quantity: The portion size of rice and curry is perfect for two people. With respect to the pickles, they sell them as bottles. Their choice of ingredients and style of cooking reminds you home food, and indeed everything they present is home cooked food.
Price: I cannot comment about the pricing but still a meal for two would cost around Rs.800-900 INR approximately. Considering the portion and taste it is totally worth your try.
To get some taste of homemade Anglo Indian food, especially the beef and pork lovers do check their food and also the pickles.
Anglo Aunty's Takeaway as the name suggests it's an Anglo Indian Cuisine, which is a mix of European and Indian foods. This kiosk is located Just outside the Iruzumi (Tatoo Shop) and just before Cream Centre in College Road,Nungambakkam.
Never Tried an Anglo Indian Cuisine so I was excited to try what's in store for me. I opted for Chicken, but pork and beef are best to order in Anglo Indian Cuisine.
My Takeaway had Chicken Biriyani, it was flavorsome, the spices dominated the Taste and Chicken pieces has been cooked to perfection. Chicken Cutlet was a surprise package it had all the possible masala and small chicken chunks to get the crunch in each bite. Anglo Chicken curry got the Taste of home made curry with tender chicken pieces. I had the Peas pulav for dinner and it has been packed for lunch, the pulav was good even after long hours. Chicken pickle was tangy and a bit spicy , not for my Taste. Overall it was a good meal.
Had a beef sandwich here. Quantity is decent and it tasted quite nice too. Avoid the ketchup.
Great food. Slightly costly. Only takeaway available.
