Restaurant
Located in Hotel De L'Orient, Carte Blanche is a charming restaurant that takes you back to the old French coastline with its vintage decor and old-world charm. The extensive menu offers a variety of coastal and Continental dishes, including seafood curry, ratatouille, fried calamari, mutton curry, and vegetarian options like ravioli and pasta.
This is a great little restaurant if you need a break from Idly, thosai and currie. Both my wife and I found the food delicious and creative. The food looked no different from other Indian food but was complex in its taste. The ingredients were organic and clean. Was not expecting this sort of quality. The staff were friendly, especially Stalin. Yes that’s his name! Keen to help out with your queries and always had a recommendation or two. Was so good that we went there for dinner 3 nights in row. Highly recommended, especially Stalin!

The food was well what to say, it was French food!! Cooked really well, served extremely well but tasted like hell, if eaten without the additional sauces. If you eat it the way it is supposed to be, then it's quite good. The place is pricey. Quantity served is quite low but more than enough to fill your hunger, don't go by size. Try to go in the late evening, before that they are a bit ill prepared.

Beautiful colonial setup and great food . The home baked garlic bread stole our hearts. The blueberry mocktail is the best that I have ever had. We had tried the pasta and a vegetable soup as well which were quite good .
Neha B — Google review
Food is fairly decent but a big zero on the presentation. The presentation is done by placing few cut cucumber or tomato slices, but that's what I would expect from a small street vendor or a local bar. Not at a restaurant where lot of tourists dine. But the staff is really nice and very hospitable. A word of caution though, Check the prawns before you eat because it wasn't cleaned at all and had the black strand running along it's back, which ideally all restaurants clean else you could have a bad stomach. On confronting them about this issue, they said it's prawns stuffed with herbs, lol, bad luck we were not convinced as we do cook prawns at home and asked him to replace it with another dish. So be sure you don't eat their special PRAWNS STUFFED WITH HERBS ;)

Had been here for Lunch on Sunday. Parking wasn't an issue. Too crowded had to wait for 30+ min to get a seat. Ordered below items Veg Meals - very ordinary not worth Nonveg meals - only gravy no nonveg items with this. Fish curry was good. Mutton Biryani - ok..less quantity Kamatchi Biryani - fried chicken with Biryani . Hard chicken pieces Prawn Kamatchi- this was good. Best 👌 The service was poor.. lot of attitude from waitress.
Rajan O — Google review
We ordered Chicken Masala Rice Meals and Chicken Biryani. The Biryani was good, but it costs more than ₹250. The Non-Veg Rice Meals, however, are not at all worth the price. It costs around ₹290, and they served only 3 small chicken pieces, out of which 2 were just bones. The rest of the meal was just rice, rasam, curd, pappad, one poriyal, and an egg. Definitely not worth the price.
Anaswara A — Google review
Very busy hotel especially during peak lunch hours, very difficult to find a table, waiting room looked like people were waiting for reports after scanning, non veg meals is their highlight, dry items were all super delicious except the prawn dry which tasted like bouncy which happens when it's over cooked. Rasam was excellent, boti dry and Mutton sukka were also super

We found this place via IG recommendations. We had the mutton biryani, chicken lollipop, fish kamatchi and idiyappam here. All of them were delicious. Do note that the spice content is high 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️. The place is a bit dank though, it’s not that airy although it was clean. The food was served real quick and was hot. There are not many sweet or drinks options.

I loved the food here. I tried their mutton biryani,chicken 65 biryani,pirattal rice,fish starter combo and chicken starter combo. I liked the mutton biryani but two of my friends like the pirattal rice more. But all of us found fish starter far far better than chicken starter.

Food was good for non veg lovers. There are some niggles like hard meat. No dessert available in dine in area. No veg options. Faced severe food poisoning on same day. Not sure if it is this hotel food. But I will not be going back here again.

Kasha Ki Asha is a unique establishment located in Pondicherry, offering a blend of experiences. Housed in a former Tamil home, it features an arts and crafts shop alongside a shaded garden cafe serving homemade cakes and dosas. The restaurant is culturally significant, with local Tamilian staff welcoming guests into its vibrant space adorned with paintings reflecting India's heritage. The rooftop restaurant offers delectable cuisine and picturesque views.

If you want to be woman in power, then empower other women - Nina Shaw. The above quote can be related to this cafe run by a bunch of smiling ladies.. Sweetest serving people.. Way to go.. The place is very neatly maintained.. This is old residence (or bungalow) which has been turned out to be a place of business.. When you enter you will find trinkets, clothes and showpieces for sale and the restaurant is located on the terrace.. Ambience is something to look out for.. We had 'Indian Enchilada' which is a hot chapati filled with lentils and salads with some cheese sprinkled.. We enjoyed the food and ordered some chocolate pan cakes and Vennila icecream.. Pancake was loaded with chocolates and truly homemade.. Though the prices of the food is overpriced I didn't bother to pay for it as we spent a quality one and half hour chatting and enjoying ourselves.. Service time was fairly good.. I'm likely to go back to this place and spend some time..

It's a small place located at the corner of the Surcouf Street in the White Town. The Ground Floor is a boutique and the rooftop is the restaurant. The place has live performances on Saturday evenings usually. The menu is very limited, though they are delicious. The restaurant is a good place to hangout with friends or visit solo and enjoy the live performances.

Our evening at Bay of Buddha was pure bliss! Perched atop The Promenade in White Town, this rooftop restaurant dazzled with its stunning Bay of Bengal views and cool sea breeze. The Pan-Asian menu, featuring succulent sushi and flavorful Thai red curry, was a delight, paired perfectly with creative cocktails. The ambiance—soft lighting, wave sounds, and warm vibes—was ideal for a romantic night. The staff, especially our attentive host, made us feel so welcome. A must-visit for an unforgettable Pondicherry dining experience.

A Must-Visit for Asian Cuisine Lovers in Pondicherry! If you're a fan of Asian food and happen to be in Pondicherry, this restaurant is an absolute gem! They serve some of the best Asian food we've ever had, bursting with flavors, vibrant in presentation, and offering a wide variety of dishes to choose from. We were especially blown away by the lobster, which was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was a treat to the senses and beautifully plated and packed with rich, authentic flavors. A special shoutout to Cindrella, who made our experience even better by recommending the best dishes on the menu. Her suggestions were spot on, and her warm service added to the charm of the place. In fact, we loved the food and service so much that we went back the very next day, and once again, we were thoroughly impressed. The ambiance, food, and service all deserve a solid 5/5. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine. This place is a true culinary delight in Pondicherry!

Very nice place on the roof top. We had slight inconvenience due to rains(you can shift downstairs in case of rains) but we chose to stay up. We had lovely service from the staff there. Ordered Korean waternut and potato, Truffle Dimsum and a soup for starters. Chinese Fried rice was aptly made. Best was the dessert-Sticky Rice with Mango. Ambience was beautiful.

Visited Baby of Buddha and tried their classic fried rice, Thai chicken satay, tom yum soup, and avocado & nuts sushi (futomaki style). Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared — the tom yum soup had the right tang, the satay was tender, and the sushi felt fresh and creative. The portions were proper and satisfying, but the prices are on the higher side. Still, it’s a lovely place for those who appreciate authentic Asian flavors and a refined dining atmosphere.

Got judged at the entrance. Wonder how they think they'll attract patrons if they judge the people who come to eat and make them wait for no reason before giving them a table. Quite pricey, but the food does not meet expectations at that range. We ordered chicken gyoza, the miso glazed grouper, and sweet & sour pork ribs. Plating was also mediocre. Ordered a Tequila Sunrise and could not taste the tequila. Make of that what you will. All in all, an underwhelming experience and not worth the price.

The only good thing about this cafe is its ambience , since it's close to beach and located at the rooftop.Very much overpriced and food quality and quantity not worthy for the price we pay. For bottled water they are charging 175 rupees which can't be explained by any means. This is daylight robbery.Service was extremely poor and staff needs real training ; not at all attentive to our requests. We were waiting for a long time for them to come for taking the order. Very poor experience, i won't visit this place again. They are also charging and additional convenience fee of 5% which is questionable. Very very overpriced and over and above that an additional convenience fee for what ????

Chettinad restaurant
Appachi Chettinad Restaurant is a charming eatery that specializes in authentic Chettinad and North Indian cuisine. Nestled in a rustic setting with a thatched roof, it exudes the ambiance of mini Tamil Nadu. The menu features beloved dishes like Dum Biryani and Nethili Podi Varuval, which is buttery anchovies and spicy dry-fried chicken served with chutney.
Came here with my friends in search of authentic tamilnadu food, which is quite hidden in pondicherry The atmosphere inside the hotel was really good like a traditional chettinad house. The food for costal area is little overpriced like the vanjaram fry etc about 280₹ per piece. Biriyani chicken was 200₹ which is expensive compared to local places in bangalore or chennai but the quantity was good For a tourist spot was very reasonable Our price was about 500₹ per person with appetizers and main course Vegetarian food is also avaliable and is quite good It was about 200₹ per person with meals and appetizers which some of my friends took There a also a cool sitting space in a veranda at the front Overall - Good place for a tourist looking for authentic food with very reasonable prices compared to other restaurants here and satisfaction for sure

The Food and the staff is good. I went a little towards the closing time of their resturant but there was still a waiting for empty tables, so the quality of service was focused not on serving us but waiting for us to leave and hand the bill to us. They told us many things could not be prepared as they were finished but all we had asked for was simple tings like breads.

The two stars for their interior and building. We gone for dinner when we looked in to their menu nothing new and overpriced. For example single bun parotta mentioned 90₹ but chicken kothu 170₹. My entire joy from seeing building front and interior come to end after speaking with them whatever I asked they simply told that only weekend you will then they can close the restaurant on other days instead of saying not available. Pros: building entrance and interior Cons: excluding above two all are cons

Do not just go with the rating and the name. This place may disappoint you severely. No fresh seafood, lack of varieties. You will hardly find anything that tastes good here. Not the same old place which it used to be seven eight years back. Though the staff here are welcoming and quick, this is not the place if you are looking for authentic Chettinad

This place is very traditional, almost feels like it must have been someone's house with all the traditional set up now converted to a restaurant. The staff is watchful and serve you well. It might just get a tad too busy at times so you may have to call out their attention as it's less staffed than what it should have as it's popular not amongst the locals alone but also with the tourists. It's right beside Thancos Natural ice cream parlor. The veg meals were delightful and also the prawn masala was well prepared. Food is spicy, but then we love spicy - but for the ones who eat less spice - may be disappointed a bit. Note that it's a restaurant with traditional setup so don't expect it to be like a cliched White Town kinda restaurant, coz it's not. Definitely a must try!

A smiling reception from probably the owner or manager and himself welcoming the guests plays a great part in setting the mood right for the guests. This restaurant ticks the box in that sense. We tried chicken biriyani and kal dosa. Biriyani was good while kal dosa was exceptional. Service was kind of quick if not quick. Parking is available behind the hotel. Offers good restroom aswell. Reducing 1 star for couple of things. 1. Cleanliness of the table needs to be improved. Our hand was sticking on the table because of improper cleaning. 2. Parking staff literally begs for money. If they do it after performing their duty it would have been still fine. I guess his job is not impacted but it feels bad.

Amazing food I tried the Era Satti Soru that was very excellent and light on the stomach as well. I didn't like the dessert which we ordered which was the Jigarthanda. and the egg omelette was quite big and the fish was good. But it could have been more fresher. I ordered the Meen Pulichadu

I recently visited this restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The noise level was unbearable it honestly felt more like a fish market than a dining place. To make matters worse, the management team seemed to be part of the chaos, laughing and chatting loudly instead of ensuring a pleasant atmosphere for their guests. It was difficult to enjoy the food or have a proper conversation due to the constant noise. I expected a more professional and customer-friendly environment, but this visit was far from it. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving the ambiance and overall guest experience.

One of the worstest hotel I came across. Asked for the veg meal and they said it's available and asked us wait for 30 mins to get the place. Once they allocated table they said veg meals are not available and forced to order other dishes. Otherwise asking us to leave. Who will bare the 30 mins waiting time. Non sense fellow. Doesn't respect others time. Every min is crucial for others.

Zaffron, how nice the name is, their food is disgusting that much. I went with a group of 8 people to Zaffron and experienced a worst environment and as well as food. My friend gave treat to there because she thought it would be good. First is ambiance..... Ambiance look like dull, without proper light, music and crowdness... It's so dull inside the restaurant that I went outside within 5 minutes. Another thing is AC is not working properly. Second is staff.... Staff of the restaurant is so lazy and less in number. Sometimes they were taking order notes on hands. Third is timing and treatment of customer.... They took more than average time to serve the food.. When we entered to restaurant they served normal water (in summer time it should be cold) in a disposable glass instead of proper glass. Also they serve food in normal plastic plates without and paper or banana leaf. And, also those plates were with some spots. Last thing is food..... The food was looking nice but very bad in taste. Only the whole grilled chicken dish was good among all of the dishes. The chicken and muttons in gravy item were frozen for a long time that's why it's smelling bad in taste. We ordered Kasmiri pulao that was with essence of different fruit but fruits was not there and also bad in taste (without salt). Chocken kohlapuri and Kadhai chicken was good only for show not for taste. When we told them that it's smelling they didn't argue with us because they also knew that it's not fresh, it was kept in fridge for long days. Then they asked for change of those dishes but we denied. The food quality is very low. We reviewed about food grade and restaurant ambiance to the owner. But I am writing this review because of general people. Don't waste money by taking food in this restaurant. They need upgrades in so many of things before selling foods.

Could have been much better. Food quality and ambience is the first thing and these 2 things are not proper. Ambience is not at all maintained. The food was also very average. The cost was high according to the quality of food. I guess they have very limited staff and that's why maintenance is poor.

The items in menu was large, ambiance is nice, suitable for family and couples, food which I ordered was not meet my expectations, i ordered chicken fried rice but when oder came first i thought it was egg fried rice, after picking up single chicken piece which hidden in plate only i confirm it was chicken fried rice, quantity is good quality it less, for the money I paid i was not happy.

The kerala restaurant Ende Nadu in offers mouth-watering dishes with a unique flavor that will leave you craving for more. The interiors of the restaurant give the feel of an old kerala house, and the friendly staff members make it a great place to spend a meal. The food is excellent and the service is quick.
It is my first time to try Kerala food. It is tasty. But the hospitality of the servers is even better. I really enjoyed my dining experience here. I am happy to make two more friends. Thank you.🙏❤️😇

(+)Best found of this pondy trip for food! The pothichoru for 90 Rs was worth. Also tried beef kozhi porotta & chicken kappa. It was worth. Charged Rs. 20 for one piece of pineapple found little costly, though! Pazhampori's oil didn't felt fresh. The taste was not so great.

Ende nadu provides a lot of authentic Kerala dishes. We ordered their fish meals pothichoru and chicken Biriyani. Both where so good. The pothichoru was really tasty and the curries tasted just like kerala dish. The biryani was average and less spicy. Overall would recommend this restaurant to any Malayali in Pondicherry
Sandra J — Google review
Ende Naadu serves authentic Kerala food with a touch of nostalgia. The place has beautiful vintage aesthetics, and the Malayalam songs playing in the background add to the cozy, homely vibe. It’s run by Malayalis, and the food is both tasty and affordable, with a good variety of Kerala dishes. During our 3-day stay in White Town (which was close by), we ended up visiting this place multiple times — that says a lot! The service is good and friendly, making the whole dining experience even better.

If you get bored of the sugary cafes of pondicherry and want something savoury and spicy, this place is a must go to enjoy the simplicity and 'stuck in the past' vibes. Food tastes yummy and the service was warm. The restaurant is run like a household kitchen that shows in the good quality and taste.

If you are a person who values your self-respect, be careful and think twice before choosing this restaurant!!! I am not a regular reviewer, and writing this one only because an entire family's otherwise "would-have-been-happily-concluded" outing was completely spoiled by the extremely arrogant and disrespectful attitude and service from this restaurant's team. My partner and I have been in Pondicherry for several years, and we used to visit this restaurant occasionally. On all the previous occasions, only we two were there. Most of those visits were under the circumstances of craving for Kerala food and proximity of this restaurant to our that-time's place-of-visit (mostly Rock Beach). On many of those occasions, an elderly service person in this restaurant used to show a very arrogant attitude and make faces at us. Also, the lady at the cash counter used to show a mocking attitude. Never knew what the reason for all these was, and never used to mind it, as the preference was only for something to eat at that time and not their attitude. Additionally, since both of us are engaged in social activism, a frequent evaluation of the social structure, various professionals' responses and attitude to people of various classes and creed, and judgmental approach of different sectors to their fellow human beings have made us resistant and tolerant to almost all kinds of antipathetic and unaltruistic behaviours. But today's experience was beyond any limits and unbearable since my family, who came for a Pondicherry expedition from Kerala, was also there with two of us, and the entire party's good time was absolutely spoiled. I myself recommend this restaurant (the decision which I had to regret afterwards after seeing my poor family's response to the unfair treatment we received at this restaurant) since we were in Rock beach at a late evening and the family was not that used to non-Kerala food, thinking that whatever was this restaurant people's attitude during our previous visits, this time they may show at least some manners since an entire family that included elderly people as well as a toddler was there with us. We ordered the main course first. Then, as some of us were really thirsty, I asked the service person (the same elderly man mentioned above) for the options for juices. He pointed towards a menu lying on the table, and while I was going through it and asking my family members for their preferences for juices, I told this service person very politely, "chetta, food tharunnathinu munp juice tharumo" ("Could you please bring the juice before serving the food). The response and attitude from this person was very rude, arrogant and irresponsible. He started blabbering as if I got paid for eating from his restaurant, and I, as well as my entire group, were completely surprised, shocked and flabbergasted at this man's response. Still, I don't even know why that person was behaving like that. After paying the bill, my partner conveyed this rude behaviour to the lady at the counter, and more shocking, that lady simply shook her head at my partner mockingly!!! Also, while we were leaving, that lady was staring at my entire family as if we did something wrong!!! In a tourism destination like Pondicherry, how a firm can treat the customers in this kind of a negative manner and unconcern is a matter to be thought about, especially from the viewpoint of a common middle-class man. Maybe the influx of customers, maybe the class judgment of self-centered business people or maybe the ignorance about the changing surroundings, who knows, what makes some people so inhumane... Anyways, learnt a lesson and will never prefer or suggest this restaurant to anyone in the future. Average quality food and hurt to self-respect at its peak can teach you a lesson, my dear fellow beings!
Atheesh K — Google review
Had a bad experience. I was with my family and chose this place to have the dinner (my and my family’s bad luck). Prior to the main course, we wanted some juice and conveyed the same to the service person. The reply from him was so rude, arrogant and inhumane (as if we were being paid by him/his firm to eat from there). I was stunned for a minute cuz I didn’t understand why this man is being rude for no reason. When I informed this to the lady sitting at the cash counter, she just made a mocking face at me!!! Then, she started staring at my whole family while we were leaving. I will never recommend this place to anybody. It spoiled our mood completely.

Biryani restaurant
If you find yourself in Pondicherry and have a hankering for authentic South Indian biryani, then Salem Biriyani Hotel is an absolute must-visit. This charming eatery, known for its vibrant yet unpretentious atmosphere, serves up generous portions of traditional dishes that are sure to delight any non-vegetarian food lover. The restaurant's interior features soft lighting and eye-catching wallpapers, creating a calm ambiance perfect for enjoying your meal.
After patiently waiting for half an hour, I finally secured a table and indulged in the delightful flavors of Nattukozhi Biryani , Prawn, Fish fry and Mutton Chukka at this renowned restaurant in Puducherry. The exquisite taste was truly worth both the price and the wait, making it a top-notch dining experience in the city.

This avenue is one of the most favourite spots for non veg lovers particularly biriyani lovers. One of the famous and oldest hotels in Pondicherry. The ambience of the hotel is very calm and composed. The interior is designed in a way with mild lights and some attractive wallpapers. The food is served in banana leaf. Menu includes non veg thali, biriyani, as main course with varieties of starters and side dishes too. White rice with rasam given as compliment along with biriyani. Payment options include ready cash and UPI payments too via QR scanners.

If you’re in Pondicherry and craving a burst of bold, authentic South Indian biryani flavors, Salem Biryani Hotel should be on your must-visit list. Located conveniently in the city, this modest yet vibrant spot offers a memorable food experience that truly stands out among the many eateries in the area. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the biryani—rich in aroma, cooked with precision, and layered with flavors that hit all the right notes. The taste is simply wow. It’s the kind of dish that speaks of home-cooked warmth combined with the skill of a seasoned chef. The rice is perfectly cooked, and the spices are balanced without overpowering the natural taste of the meat. However, the true showstopper for us was the Mutton Chukka. Tender, juicy chunks of mutton are slow-cooked to perfection, coated in a fiery, peppery masala that clings to every bite. It’s one of those rare dishes that lingers in your memory long after the meal is over. If you’re a fan of bold flavors and spicy South Indian-style meat, this dish alone is worth the visit. The ambience is simple and functional, focusing more on quality food than fancy decor. The service is prompt, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable, making it a great spot for both locals and tourists. Overall, Salem Biryani Hotel in Pondicherry is a hidden gem for meat lovers and biryani enthusiasts. Don’t miss it!

​I tried the chicken biryani and was impressed by the flavor, they use jeerakasala (seeraka samba) rice, which gives the dish a wonderful taste. Unfortunately, the pricing is a deal-breaker. ₹290 is too expensive for this portion and quality. It's a good biryani, but I can't justify the high cost.

Biriyani is good. Chicken in the biriyani could have been softer. Mutton biriyani is good. Fast service. Parota is available only in the evenings. Prawn fry is tasty. The gravy portions coming with biriyani are small. Parking is difficult with car. Can access the place only through bike.

Will recommend everyone to visit for lunch. Dinner they are trired and most of the items remain out of stock . Ambience is not that good . But the taste was really good . Biryani here are really tasty and a must try. It's a small hotel but taste wise it is really unbeatable.

Overall a good stay in this hotel. Pros: Located in prime location of the city with accessibility to major locations by walk. For ex: At 9.0pm you can do shopping and you can reach to your room by walk. It was also a safe stay here for a family. The rooms were neat and clean. The staff were also co-operative and service was good. Budget friendly hotel stayed for 3nights and 4days for 11k Bar was closed due to maintenance during our stay Cons: Rooms are small. If you are looking for spacious hotel. Then think of an alternative option. If you are planning to travel with your own car,you will have to park it outside of the hotel on the road. Overall the hotel is in a city center with a accessibility by walk to a major destinations.

We booked this hotel only because our already existing booking got cancelled at the last moment. We visited here on a long weekend and hence the rate was really high. For two rooms, for two nights, we paid almost Rs.16,000. Rooms were okay, not upto the mark. There is limited parking space. And after the complementary one water bottle, we need to pay Rs25 for each water bottle extra. There is a bar at the top and hence, if you plan to visit with your family, please consider that too since local people will be more at night drinking and smoking outside the hotel. Two of the staff were good. One is Saravanan.

Clean room (albeit small) and a good location. But our main complaint was with the bedsheets. We had to ask them to change it 5 times before we got a clean set of bedsheets and covers. They kept giving us used and unwashed ones before we complained at the reception. Also, a bit pricey for the facilities you get. It's only ok if you just want to roam around all day and come to your room just to sleep.

Even though this is labelled as a 1 star hotel, this place is one of the best budget, air conditioned hotels in Pondicherry. It is clean and looks exactly like the pictures. The rooms are small but the service is good. The hotel staff was always available for cleaning, water, fixing the toilet and anything that we had problems with. The bathrooms are too tiny and don't look very clean but are average. There is a rooftop bar which, though shady, seems to be popular among locals.

I visited Amity Sky Bistro & Nightlife recently, and honestly, it was quite disappointing. The ambiance was decent, but the food was nowhere near worth the price. Dishes were overpriced, yet lacked the taste and quality you would expect at such rates. Spending over ₹6,000 and still walking away unsatisfied says a lot. If you’re looking for good value for money, this place is not the right choice.

We were warmly welcomed by the reception staff, and the check-in process was hassle-free. The staff throughout our stay were very courteous. Both the room service and dine-in experience were excellent, and the food was truly delectable. The quality and variety of options at the breakfast and lunch buffet were impressive.

We had a pleasant stay there. The rooms were comfortable, the service was excellent, and the food was superb. A special mention for the kids’ room, it was a thoughtful addition that we really appreciated. And Special shoutout to Muruga and the Valet staff as well! They were good Areas for Improvement: 1. Swimming Pool: Although I don’t swim, I did notice that the pool didn’t appear very clean, which didn’t align with the otherwise good standards maintained across the property. 2. Room Key Issues: We faced issues with the room key automatically deactivating, requiring us to return to the reception to reactivate it. This was quite inconvenient. 3. Dining Area: While the food was excellent, the table setup in the dining area could use more attention. On multiple occasions, tables were allotted without napkins or tissue paper. We experienced this ourselves and also heard similar feedback from another family. It’s a small detail, but improving it would make the dining experience even better.

Absolutely love the place. It’s always my stay when I’m on vacation at Pondicherry.

Fast food restaurant
Surguru is a popular vegetarian restaurant in Pondicherry, offering a refreshing break from the city's usual Continental cuisine. With multiple locations across the city, including a compact spot on Jawaharlal Nehru Street and an elegant branch on Mission Street, Surguru is known for serving some of the best dosas in town. The menu features South Indian staples like crispy dosas and sambar vada, with an array of dosa fillings that keep visitors coming back for more.
I recently had a very good experience at Surguru, largely due to the excellent food and service. I started my meal with the Mushroom Soup, which I found to be quite average—it was a simple soup with mushrooms, but lacked any memorable flavor. However, the Mushroom 65 was a fantastic starter. It was incredibly tasty and tangy, and I really enjoyed it. For the main course, I tried two of their specialties. The Chilli Parota is a must-have; it's a special item at this restaurant with a great, distinctive flavor. The Paneer Masala Dosa was also a standout. It's a large dosa stuffed with a delicious paneer butter masala filling, and the portion was quite generous and filling. While the service itself was excellent and the wait time for the food was minimal, I did notice that the ordered items arrived randomly rather than in a logical sequence like soup followed by starters and then the main course. This was a minor point, but it's worth noting. Despite that small issue, the overall dining experience was very positive. The food was delicious, and the staff was attentive. I would definitely recommend Surguru and look forward to returning soon.

This restaurant is among the decent ones one can find on this stretch, if looking for vegetarian food with some basic hygiene and for a family. We were 3, and seated immediately. Once order taken, food was served in 10 min flat. Food was very tasty and fresh/hot. The portion sizes of the curry/sabzis could be a little more, but nothing to complain. Quick in & out, fuss free and worry free (quality of food)

Extremely disappointing experience. The manager, Mr. Prakash, was completely uncooperative and unwilling to understand the issue. We had ordered Reshmi Paneer Tikka from the main course sabji section, but were served it as a starter. When we questioned how a starter could be listed under the main course heading, he kept denying it instead of acknowledging the confusion. Things only got worse: • Salad was served midway through the meal, instead of at the beginning. • When we ordered the main course, no plates or cutlery were provided. The sabji sat on the table for over 5 minutes while we repeatedly requested basic items like plates and spoons. • Only after asking multiple times did we receive spoons, that too without plates. Overall, the service was completely unprofessional, disorganized, and far from what one would expect from a decent restaurant. Definitely not recommended.

A nice place to try some south Non Vegetarian dishes in a budget price. The place will be little crowded on the Weekends and finding a place to dine in needs some luck and patience. For families recommend getting Take Away here. Quality of the food is very good, flavour of Mutton Paya is little different compared to restaurants in Chennai. 2 Leg pieces are served per plate. Special mention to the Kulambu Kalaki must try. No GPay/PhonePe ₹ or Cards here only Cash is accepted, there is a State Bank of India ATM 🏧 present opposite to the Hotel. Overall budget friendly place to try !

Definitely not recommended,it's purely over hyped by half boiled youtubers. I'm basically from southern part of India ,i think many PPL doesn't know the exact meaning of parota salna as they believe this is the original parotta and gravy. Situated opposite to a open drainage like canal,a small sitout. Ordered their parotta which was typically a Kerala parotta sweetish taste. The gravy for parotta is utter useless,their watery salna is totally unfit for this Kerala parotta. Tried their said so famous prawn fry,in which the prawn was too small looked like farm grown prawn. The kaadai or quail fry is ok,good flesh with masalas. Their egg kalakki is good which has 2 eggs in it. Then thier over hyped egg dosa or mutta dosa is overall good than other dishes ,small dosa with egg and salna in it. That's good . Other than that,this place is really over over hyped. While bill payment i noticed that the owner is so rude in attending the take away customers,they pay and eat ,try to give some respect to take away customers also,not like YouTubers who eat in free of cost.

Banana Leaf GrillZ N BBQ offers delectable poultry options, such as incredible chicken with a succulent and tender texture. Their fish finger, moist and full of flavor, is also highly recommended. The Butter chicken masala at this establishment is superb, while the Kerala parotta is toothsome although it could be slightly softer. To round off a satisfying meal, the Arabian grape selection serves as an excellent choice.

The food was disappointing. We ordered chicken biryani, cheese naan, porotta, pepper mushroom, and chicken curry. But we received plain naan with some butter, a very basic so called porotta, watery mushroom with just a hint of pepper, and an average chicken curry. What made it worse was the service. It felt like we had to serve ourselves. While we were eating, they were cleaning the floor and spraying air freshener, which made the experience even more unpleasant.

This cozy eatery offers not just delectable biryani but also mouthwatering options like rotisserie grilled chicken and traditional Tandoori chicken, served with zesty green chutney or savory garlic sauce.
It's a small place. When I visited there was more crowd and had to wait for sometime to get a seat. Mutton biryani here was just awesome. I like the pieces to be tenderly cooked and here the kind of mutton the biryani had was too good. I felt like after a long time I had this kind of mutton pieces. Also the fish fry was really tasty. Generally I'm not a big fan of fish as I didn't have very often from the childhood. This fish was good. It's worth and is less costly. The service is also good.

The food was delicious. The hotel is small from the outside but there is much space inside. They serve food in banana leaf, I love that. So....I am a Keralian, I thought I won't like the food and I don't want to order biriyani for me. So I ordered naan and butter paneer and my family ordered mutton biriyani and mixed fried rice. Apart from my thoughts the food was so tasty for me. I tasted the mutton biriyani and mixed fried rice that were also good.....They have a mini shop in front of their hotel and it will be open only in the evening. That shop contains macaroni, some type of soup, etc. They had a huge crowd in the evening at the time of opening the mini shop. We take a pack of macaroni and alfam in the evening. The masala for alfam was a variety one and also tasty. The macaroni is filled with mayonnaise and sauce with some spices.

One of the most hyped street foods that i was compelled to visit from all the insta reels that popped in my feeds but was it worth the hype?

Tried this authentic ARCOT biryani while on my 2 days trip to Puducherry 😃 Being a traditional biryani in that area since 1990, we straightly went with ordering both their signature biryanis with non veg sides. Chicken biryani 🌟 🌟 🌟 Mutton biryani 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Kaadai fry 🌟 🌟 Located on a very busy street, parking might be a little difficult. So better plan to go there in a 2 wheeler preferably. Cleanliness was quite lagging in this restaurant 😒 Only self service option available and no dedicated waiters Highly notable thing is their cheap price and optimal quantity of food. Go for it Seer ♥️

It's a self service hotel.. Always crowd.. The pieces contains so much cholestrol parts in mutton briyani.. Chicken briyani is a reasonable price of Rs 100.. In mutton briyani I got small pieces of chicken meat.. So i dont know surely whether they are making both briyani separately are doing plain dum briyani and mixed with mutton Or chicken.. But chicken 65 is nice in this hotel.. Overall.. It is useful for people who don't bother about neatness, perfection, time can try here..

Hotel Soorya International is a charming and functional accommodation option that offers simple yet comfortable rooms, some equipped with air-conditioning for added convenience. This hotel features an on-site restaurant and boasts five spacious banquet halls, making it ideal for both leisure travelers and those planning events. Reflecting on its history, many guests fondly remember their stays at Hotel Soorya International, recalling the stunning balcony views that once captivated visitors during family vacations in Tamil Nadu.
Just to share a sweet story here. I was looking for Surya hotel pondicherry and then came across your hotel and pics. Because I remember staying at your hotel in the year 1999-2000 when I went on a family winter vacation in Tamil Nadu. It was almost new year (millennium) and we couldn't find a stay in pondicherry because almost everything was booked. That's when we came across Surya international. It was one of the most glamorous hotel in those days in pondicherry and the balcony view used to be stunning. I remember spending long hours in the balcony with my mum. I was around 9 years old then. I'm glad you guys are still there after 25 years. Would love to visit someday now that I have moved to chennai for job.

They extorted ₹4,000 for a room for which I wouldn't even pay ₹500. But I was helpless as it was quite late at night and raining cats and dogs. But getting a hotel room didn't save me from the rain because it got flooded as there were no proper windows to prevent it. To add to the misery the door lock jammed and I was stuck in the room. Couldn't even lay on the bed as it was dirty as hell. After hours of struggle someone finally broke open the door. They relocated me to another room which still had a dirty as hell bed but the door was not jammed, it was windows this time so at least no rain in room.

Rooms are not cleaned... bedsheets with burnt ciggerate marks and not cleaned. No fixed tariffs. Will charge as per the need of the customers. Didn't provided any towels and not shared the WiFi password inspite of mentioned in the services of the hotel. Not safe for family.... Very casual and cold response from the hotel staff when during the check out giving the feedback/complain about the services. Owner of the Hotel sitting in a filthy lungi and vest at reception finally said thanks and do not visit again. They charged 1000 extra for the room. When asked for the bill then asking for extra tax money for the bill. Will raise the issue to ministry of tourism.

We went here for lunch under the recommendation of my friend who said "it tastes like Home-cooked food" and he was right! The taste was very good and the pricing was also reasonable. What I appreciated the most was the serving size of the gravies which perfectly fit the need of 1 person. As a vegetarian I always end up wasting a good amount of gravy because there's just too much for 1 person. So I really appreciate that.❤️ for context, we ordered fried gobi, phulkas and kadai vegetable. My friends ordered methi chicken and fishn'chips and those were also said to be great.

One of my fav bar in my list. But suddenly fews months waiters and billing counter person treating customers like junk. Using worst words on customers and not even coming to serve your table. Waiter is drunk always and asking customers to buy them own. It's happens in ac hall. No proper clean up and toilet is worst. But one star for kitchen because their foods are favourite.

Nestled near the Old Law College, Hotel Annapoorna offers a delightful dining experience in the heart of Pondicherry. The ambiance is inviting, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy a meal. While the food generally receives positive remarks, it's worth noting that some dishes may not align with traditional North Indian preferences—particularly the Kadai chicken, which leans towards milder flavors and includes an abundance of vegetables.
Go and eat if you have no other options. The food was good. I ate veg meals. Karakkolamb was very good. Sappad in total was average. People who serve food don't know exactly how to serve and behave. They aren't worried about what we need... I was very hungry and hence I was satisfied.

This hotel is located opposite to bus stand. We have visited as a group to this hotel at lunch time. They had only meals and fried rice items to order for lunch. So ordered meals and 1 fried rice item. For meals, they have provided one dish and less quantity of food and served sambar alone. After enquiry, they said Its unlimited meals and serve dish and other items based on request - which is useless and time consuming activity for customers. Service and atmosphere is very poor and meals cost is high compare to their standard. Not worth for money. Service and food quality need to be improved

The service is miserable. The waiters do not know how to behave or deal with the customers. I visited the restaurant with seven of my other friends. We occupied two tables since we were eight in total, but the four of us had to leave for an emergency for a while. The rest of the four including me, stayed and gave our orders. The waiter kept on asking us to leave since we were taking up two tables for four people. Although it was clearly visible that we were carrying luggage and four of us were girls waiting in the restaurant alone at an odd hour of the day. They kept on asking us to leave and started blaming that we have been in the restaurant for too long. Never knew that there is something called staying in a restaurant for too long. Two things that made their rants even worse. 1. The restaurant had more than two free tables and still the waiter kept on repeating that other non existent customers were unable to occupy the seats because of us. 2. It was obvious that the rest of the four were to return to order their food and the waiter was behaving as if we were hogging over the seats for no reason. I am not one of those people to give bad reviews to restaurants or any store for that matter. But this was the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant.

The food was a good. A little tip for the NVG north indian crowd -> you should avoid the Kadai chicken here, it's not what we north indians are used to eating, it's not spicy and is full of vegetables. The atmosphere is nice and the catering service is also good. All in all, a great experience for dining.

Madurai Sri Muniyandi Vilas is a popular dining spot known for its traditional food served on banana leaves at reasonable prices. It's a hit among locals and an exciting find for adventurous tourists. The staff may not speak much English, but the menu is in English, making it easy to order. Cutlery and plates are not provided, adding to the authentic experience.
Their mutton biriyani is authentic wood fired 50+ year old recipe. Not too spicy but brings out the complete meat flavor and is an excitement to the tastebuds. This joint has been run through two generations atleast now. If you can get a table by 1.00pm, you could savor their biriyanis piping hot straight out of their wood fired drums. As mentioned by others, the biriyanis are very friendly to your gut. Feels good after meal, and a post lunch refreshing nap guaranteed. The place doesnt appeal to aesthetics but it dont matter if you focus on the food. Service is definitely slow and can improve. You definitely need to have some patience to get your order fulfilled during busy hours. Lastly, their biriyani is easily one among the top 5 biriyanis of Pondicherry in my opinion - taste and consistency wise.

Traditional food, very reasonably priced. Popular among locals and prefect for adventurous tourists. The food is served on banana leaves. Eaten with hands. Cutlery and plates are not given. The staff doesn't speak much English, so orders were given in my 5 words of Tamil, few English words and sign language. The menu is written on the wall in English, so it's easy to order but i couldn't ask questions about the items. I used my strategy of one safe and one unknown and it was perfect. Service is super friendly and fast. And the food is delicious! Have clear expectations and you will be delighted. For fancy AC restaurants, there are other choices nearby.

I was so excited for this place seeing all the positive reviews but was a huge disappointment. Food was terrible. And they have the audacity to charge like some premium restaurant. Server had this annoying fake smile and was demanding tip randomly. They kept pushing us to buy some side dishes but thankfully we didn’t get. The restaurant had no one when we went at 9pm - prolly we should have listened to that warning! There are better places in Pondy to have good Tamil food.

Les Alizés Restaurant, located in a boutique hotel from the CGH Earth group, offers a unique twist on authentic French cuisine. The restaurant is just 50 meters away from the seaside promenade and boasts panoramic views of the erstwhile White town. With South Indian influences and French architecture, this casual rooftop eatery provides a majestic courtyard and period furniture for an elegant dining experience.
We dined for both dinner and breakfast and both were extremely delicious and the staff was lovely and so conscientious!

A Culinary Journey That Transcends Borders: Dining at Les Alizés Restaurant in Pondicherry was an unforgettable experience. The ambience is enchanting—its terrace offers a breezy, panoramic view of Pondy that sets the perfect backdrop for a relaxed evening. From the moment we arrived, the service impressed us; the waiters and managers went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The food is a delightful fusion of two worlds. It marries the subtle, refined breeziness of French cuisine with the bold, spice-laden aromas of Chettinad. We savored a plate of creamy Cajus Chicken Penne that was rich and decadently satisfying, alongside a Gongura Mushroom Curry that burst with flavor. Every bite was a revelation—the flavors melded in our mouths in a way that felt both surprising and perfectly balanced. To round off the meal, we indulged in a classic chocolate fondue served with vanilla ice cream and raspberry compote. If the main dishes transported us to the culinary realms of France and Chettinad, the dessert elevated our experience even further, leaving us craving each subsequent spoonful. Every element of our dining experience was thoughtfully crafted, making it totally worth every penny. I would return without hesitation, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and elevated gastronomic adventure in Pondicherry.

She was bc with taking with other worker and she gave the responsibility of her fault to some other fellow . Actually Food was really good no issue with good But service was so bad .

There's nothing that qualifies it to be a multi cuisine restaurant. Recommended for a low cost buffet (has limited spread). The taste is ok. It has nice ambience and enough space suitable for both couples and groups

Rajat M — Google review
(Translated by Google) The reception is correct. The food was good and very good value for money. There are a few smiles missing, which is a shame. (Original) Прием правильный. Еда была хорошей и с очень хорошим соотношением цены и качества. Не хватает нескольких улыбок, и это позор.

A small and clean shop nearby to the street. I have ordered manchow soup and it tasted like a tomato soup. I didnt liked the taste. I will not recommend this cafe for soup. It does not stand by its name.
