The Bottom Line

Appam Corner is a South Indian restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers where appams are the main reason to visit. Diners mention soft plain and egg appams served with curries, and some reviews describe an unlimited or free-flow appam offer when you order a curry. The menu also extends beyond appams, with Ambur biryani, mutton sukka, dosa and thali regularly appearing in recommendations.

The strongest feedback is for authentic, flavourful food and warm table service. Mutton sukka is described as mouth-watering, while the Hyderabad biryani is praised for its rich flavour and tender meat. 30 am was told that only meals were available.

Food quality can vary too; a takeaway order included undercooked appams, and another diner found very little meat in a biryani. For a smoother visit, confirm breakfast hours and be cautious with time-sensitive WhatsApp orders, which have been reported as slow. Delivery has also been described as unavailable in a recent review.

If you sit outside, inspect the tables and chairs first, as their cleanliness has been criticised.
