Overview

Chennai Tiffins, nestled within Chups Mom2Mom on W Lincoln Ave in Anaheim, offers an authentic dive into South Indian cuisine with an inviting simplicity. This Indian restaurant, helmed by a skilled Tamilian chef, presents dishes that resonate deeply with homemade flavors, embodying the rich culinary traditions of Tamil Nadu.

The restaurant’s signature offerings center on classic tiffin items and full-fledged meals like the Thali, Uttapam, and Chole Bhature—each crafted with care and balanced spices. The Thali captures a wholesome assortment of tastes, while the Uttapam’s soft, spiced pancake texture and the Chole Bhature’s hearty chickpeas paired with fluffy fried bread vividly showcase regional staples. Beyond these, specialties such as Thalapakkati biriyani, chili chicken, chettinad chicken, and butter dosa have earned high praise for their depth and authenticity.

Though the establishment primarily focuses on catering, diners are welcome to enjoy a relaxed in-house experience. The layout offers ample seating without crowding, maintaining a calm atmosphere that allows the food to take center stage. Service is thoughtful and warm, with staff who tailor the experience, including crafting fresh live dosas on demand. Despite serving meals in takeout-style boxes with disposable utensils, the cleanliness and hospitality elevate the overall impression.

Chennai Tiffins proves to be more than just a meal stop; it cultivates a community spirit by accommodating personalized dietary needs such as Jain food, and delivering consistently to both private events and walk-in guests. Customers frequently commend the restaurant’s food quality, praising its genuine taste and the seamless fusion of traditional recipes with attentive service.

Located strategically near popular attractions like Disneyland, the spot is ideal for families, event organizers, and anyone craving authentic Tamil cuisine in a straightforward, approachable setting. Whether you’re attending a catered celebration or dropping in for a casual bite, Chennai Tiffins offers a sincere and flavorful journey into Indian culinary heritage.

This hidden gem tastes just like homemade goodness! During my visit to Disneyland from NJ, I stumbled upon this quaint restaurant. We indulged in Thalapakkati biriyani, chili chicken, chettinad chicken, butter dosa, coffee, and garlic naan, and each dish was a delight. The chef, a Tamilian, truly knows their craft, surpassing even the renowned Anjappar restaurant in flavor. Hospitality was exceptional. Look out for the sign 'CHUPS' instead of 'Chennai Tiffins' outside. While primarily catering-focused, dining in is an option, albeit with food served in takeout boxes and disposable plates and cutlery. Yet, the abundance of tables ensures a relaxed atmosphere. It's never overcrowded, and the restrooms are impeccably clean. A must-visit for a taste of authentic Tamil cuisine!

Have catered food from Chups (South Indian and also North Indian) and also ate at restaurant. Amazingly authentic and delicious food, just like homemade (hot and fresh). Service is also excellent with smile, live and customized dosa is their specialty. Can’t wait for my next visit or event . Thanks Raja, Sharmila and your amazing team.

Review for South Indian Catering Food to Go Chups - Biryani Factory and Chennai Tiffin I recently had the pleasure of trying out the catering services from **South Indian Catering Food to Go Chups - Biryani Factory** and **Chennai Tiffin**, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! Both places offer an authentic South Indian culinary experience, and their custom catering options are fantastic. **Biryani Factory:** The biryani was the star of the show! Fragrant, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, it was a true representation of South Indian biryani. The rice was cooked to perfection, and the meat (I tried both chicken and mutton) was tender and juicy. The portion sizes were generous, and it was clear that quality ingredients were used. Highly recommend for anyone craving a hearty, satisfying biryani. **Chennai Tiffin:** Chennai Tiffin brought a wonderful variety of South Indian classics to the table. Their idlis were soft and fluffy, paired perfectly with the accompanying chutneys and sambar. The dosas were crispy on the outside and deliciously soft inside, with a variety of fillings to choose from. The flavors were authentic and reminded me of home-cooked meals. They also offered a range of other South Indian dishes, all of which were fresh and well-prepared. **Custom Catering Experience:** What stood out the most was their flexibility with custom catering orders. They accommodated all our requests, from specific dietary preferences to portion sizes, and everything was delivered on time. The presentation was neat, and the food was packed securely, ensuring it stayed fresh and warm. **Overall:** If you're looking for authentic South Indian food for an event or even just a meal at home, I highly recommend both **South Indian Catering Food to Go Biryani Factory** and **Chennai Tiffin**. Their attention to detail, quality of food, and excellent service make them a top choice for catering. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again! **Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

We did a live dosa station for a party at our home ; had an excellent service by Mr Raja and the chef they sent was amazing ; made really delicious dosas and all our guests were satisfied and happy. The chef went beyond and set up the appetizers and entree and made sure guests are getting the dosa they want . Thank you Raja bhai for providing us the amazing service ! I highly recommend!

I’ve used Chups several times in the past. Food has generally always been good. With preference for less salt and spice they catered it to how we like. We used them for a recent event and the food was great. Everything was perfect, spice level , salt etc and we got lots of good reviews from our guests. Ordering process and pick up etc were seamless. Definitely recommend them!
