Classic coffee place in busy street of Pondicherry market. Feels like south Indian flavour of Heritage cafes just like all the irani cafe in northern India.
I reached Pondicherry and I straightaway went to Promenade Beach to see the sunrise. And while returning by 6.30, I got really really hungry. This was the only restaurant which opens at 6 to feed people like me and I am very grateful for that. They serve typical Tamil dishes. I had Idli Sambhar and Pongal. I liked chutney the least. The winner clearly was that ghee oozing Pongal, surprising you with bits and pieces of coconut, ginger underneath your teeth. It was invigorating. Coffee was less sweet, much bitter..Just the way I like.
I did not have chance to go back there, but this place will always be special to me as my 'Hunger Savior'
The dosa and warm sweets here are to die for. No frills wholesome food 😍
Everything from idli vada,dosa to toasts and juice is absoultely great here.A must visit place if you are in town.The staff is friendly, the place is clean and a budget place to eat.

Lots of foreigners visit this place as it is foodies heritage.The old style furniture is another attraction and its ambiance is such that you are in 90's.
Quite a nice experience and it was lovely to visit this place.
Always happy to find such cafes which has similar ambiance to British or Bombay based cafes.
The ambiance is not that attractive. But the place is quite big. Ample seating space. Simple cafe.
We ordered spl sada Dosa, egg Dosa, coffee, Medu Vada.
They serve two types of chutney with sambar.
The taste is pretty good. Quantity is good enough. Satisfactory food.
Coffee was okay.
Staff is helpful with the menu.
Service was very fast.
Its pocket friendly.
Overall worth a visit.
On a breezy early morning along the streets of the Pondy Market when all the shops are still closed, this place will be lined up with bikes on the outside. What calls us inside is the smell of their steaming curry and the boiling filter coffee.
Start your meal with the Idly and gravy (tastes like Vada curry) which makes you feel satisfied with its ultra-rich and fresh kick. Almost all the tables in this place had one plate of this dish. You could then either go for the Buttery Pongal, Thayir Vada or the Poori. Almost everything was extreme tummy fillers; next up was the SPL Dosa. Unlike the formers, this wasn’t great but still good enough to munch in for a start.
And finally, do not forget to have a sip of their fresh filter coffee which keeps you upbeat until the next stop.
This is one of the best and most economical spots for brekkie in the town. There’s good seating space and the serving was quick even when there’s good crowd turnout.
serves authentic south indian food
we tried masala dosa,idli sambhar and plain dosa all of them are good in taste especially tastes nice with coconut chutney
filter coffee was worth trying
Mysore bonda the famous thing here snacks in evening above 60 years they are running best for small lunch and snacks nice veg briyani coffee is the ultimate best here
It's an old local restaurant, you can enjoy southern indian breakfast. It was very crowded and it wasn't esayto order it. The food was great, the service wasn't good.
The cup & saucer have been used for too long and have many cracks. It doesn't look hygienic.
One of the best restaurant in pondicherry.
If u r visiting this place don't forget to order their Bombay Toast.
Next thing u love is their Sambar Vadai & Chola poori.
Love the by gone era charm of this place. Food was good for the price. It’s a very basic place so don’t expect high standards for hygiene. Service has to be prompt as they are so busy.
I have been here so many times . One of the must try place . Bombay toast is always ultimate. Sambar Vada was also good . U can try cutlet in the evening as snacks .Poori was just average, masala was only full of onions . Coffee was also good . Overall a good place to have breakfast or dinner . Price is slightly on the higher end !
The atmosphere is perfect for pictures, but it is clearly overpriced for the quality of the food and tea.
Had the toast and the bombay toast but they are not worth it.
Service is alright, quick and efficient. On our first order we got it wrong, asked for a change, but the change wasn't taken into account.
The iconic Indian Coffee House, where aromatic brews intertwine with lively conversations. Its vintage ambiance make it a cherished spot for its visitors.
Tried bun, butter and jam, coffee, Bombay toast, dosa. Just for the ambience one should visit. Their service is great.
A nice place to have breakfast. Food is good. Prices are very reasonable. Service by the waiters was also friendly, polite and fast. Ambience is more of a vintage coffee shop feel which was kinda nice too.
Good place to hang out with friends and taste delicious south Indian delicacies. A little crowded on the weekends. You need to grab your own seat and service usually takes time so come with no time constraints. You are likely to observe about 15-30 minutes waiting.
The staff is well behaved and very helpful.
Tried Bombay toast,sambar vadai,Mysore bonda and their coffee. Taste was good.
Service takes time due to the crowd and less number of waiters.
Food was worth trying!
No parking facility available. Have to park it in the streets.
Such a chill place!
One of the best place and best food.
Bombay toast was soo good and soft.dosa was also very nice.person on the bill counter was a bit character but overall very nice place must go there !
