Chicken Biryani is superb and mutton sukka is very good.
Located in White Town, Sri Kamatchi was a place that a lot of people recommended and spoke highly of. They have modest seating arrangements and prompt service. I love how they serve their meals on banana leaves.
I had their Chicken Biryani which tasted pretty different from the ones I usually have tasted otherwise. It's made with a smaller rice grain and the spices are uniformly blended into the dish. Quite a new experience
In our search for seafood we landed here as recommended by google and reviews from Zomato
Ambience simple liked the concept of serving food on banana leaves
Food we ordered the mathi fry which was absolutely yummy the prawns curry with paratha was absolutely great we also ordered kamatchi fish which was recommended by the restaurant did not like it much
They also recommended prawns omelette which was absolutely out of the world and was very tasty and I would recommend everyone to try at least once
Service: it was good nothing bad about good response and good forthcoming to help
This would be a very good place to have a melange of fusion south indian + chettinad cuisine with the minutest of french/new age influence. We tried the Mutton Dosa and the Onion Utthappam. The Utthappam was disappointing, the batter wasn't bringing any amount of taste. The mutton dosa however, because of the superbly cooked mutton gravy between the sheets of dosa, was extremely tasty.
We shared our table with a couple of guys as it got pretty busy on Christmas Night. Things were a bit chaotic and the service was choppy. Also, this seemed like a pretty popular place. Additionally, they offer a callback to good old indian spicy cooking amidst all the French restaurants in White Town.
Go here and try the mutton and prawns, you wont be disappointed. But go here solely for the taste and not for the ambience.
Been here after seeing good reviews for this hotel in pondicherry. Ordered Mutton biryani, Prawn Kamatchi, Seer Fish Fry and Vanjaram Fish Curry with Rice. All food items tasted good. Prawn Kamatchi is prawn fry with egg which was deep fried in oil. Biryani Quantity was little less. This hotel offers a complete Tamil Nadu style dishes.
Was searching for a restaurant famous in seafood. Found this famous place inside a street. Really really delicious food made with full of heart. The fried dishes are a must try along with the fish masala and rice combo. Do not miss this place while in Puducherry.
I am from Bangalore and when I was visiting Pondicherry, I was told to try biryani at this place. I'm o glad that I did. Totally enjoyed the mutton biryani here. It was delicious. Chicken 65 , mutton fry were also great. Fish fry is something you cannot miss here. It was so so good that we ended up ordering around 6 plates of the same. Totally worth it
We had our last meal in Pondicherry here.
Our server was such a nice and warm fellow.
We ordered rice, a chicken dish with coconut gravy as mains, chicken 65 and kamatchi fish as starters.
The food was wholesome and flavourful. One of the most affordable yet absolutely satisfying meals we had on our entire trip.
Love from Kolkata! 💜

Another famous place in Pondicherry if you are looking for a local traditional joint where you can get lip smacking food specially sea food at reasonable prices..We went to this place for lunch and have to wait for almost half an hour. So, another crazy place but worth every minute of waiting..the staff is really hospitable and courteous and the service is quite quick..
We ordered meals,biryani, egg curry, prawn kamatchi,etc and everything was just too good..portions were too good so a dually worth every penny you pay..
So, if you are in white town please do visit this place without fail to have some really yummm food food in traditional style on banana leaf at a super affordable price :)
Ordered mutton and prawn biriyani along with chicken and fish kamatchi. Totally loved the food. They also served as complimentary rasam and rice, which was also outstanding. Would totally recommend this place for biriyani lovers.
The highlight of the place is food. That too have it at the restaurant. Loved all the biriyanis that we had for consecutive two days. Would recommend it to anyone and everyone who visits Pondi. Only thing I would recommend is to move one reception outside of the place so that the entrance is not crowded on a busy day. It gets very hard to even talk to the receptionist.
Heard a lot about this place from the locals so finally tried it. The taste is worth the effort and the price. They have 3 to 4 locations. This place is very small hardly 5 tables in the dining hall. They serve food on banana leaves. Ordered fish fingers and some fish kamatchi fry then prawn fried rice, egg fried rice and dosa. Fish fingers was awesome. All rice dishes were low in salt. Had to add additional salt. Ended with goli 🥤 soda. Overall an amazing spot for food.
I went to this restaurant after a long time of 6 to 7 years. I ordered a prawn biriyani with kuli omblete. I had a full biryani alone and was satisfied with taste and quantity. They provided sufficient quantity of prawns and they are cooked perfectly. They also had many varieties but hadn't tried them. I will make another review after visiting them with my brother.
The downside is that we had to share our table with strangers due to crowd. Apart from that everything from service to atmosphere is great.
Must try restaurant in Pondicherry
The food is amazing, we visited on Saturday and had to wait for 30-45 mins in the afternoon.
Most of the options were over and not available at 1:30 PM. They were serving only mutton biryani and one starter (image attached)
The taste was good.
And we found an amazing drink, it was so so damn yumm...we became fan (photo attached
Delicious and Tasty food. We had Mutton Briyani and Pepper Prawn Fry 😍😍

If you came to pondi, you must visit this. One of the best hotels to taste original pondi food. Everything here is good.
We ordered Chicken Biryani, Mutton Kuzhambu, Chicken Kuzhambu, prawns kamatchi, fish kamatchi, chicken kuzhi omlet, viral fish fry, Jigarthanda and guess what Everything is too good. None of them disappointed. And everything is must eat.
Cost was not that high. Don't come here if you are not that hungry. Come With empty Stomach and go wild on the menu.
Trust me you will not disappoint. Service was good, they were polite. It doesn't have much ambience just good enough.
*Free Dish Alert 😋* : They will provide Rasam annam as complementary. Try it. It is not the best rasam, but as it is free it tastes good 😅.

Edit: Now they are not giving complementary rasam rice
Mutton Biriyani is average, prawn roast is excellent, very few tables and it accommodates only 30 to 35
Slightly hyped by youtubers, but food is not bad and not great
Try prawns excellent
Service is too slow, overall one time you can try
The best mutton biryani. The Salan is so flavourful. This is the place to go if you want to have authentic Tamil cuisine. Everything is served on a banana leaf.
Loved the food.We had dosa & prawn curry.
The fish kamatchi was truly amazing!
Tender coconut payasam is a must have.
Wanted to bring it to Bangalore, but the shelf life is only 2 hrs outside fridge.
Requested Mr.Talairasan the waiter for quick service as we had to catch the train.
He was exemplary, courteous and also v.helpful.
Will surely visit this restaurant whenever I go to Pondicherry.
One of the nice places for non-veg lovers. Food is spicy and they have limited options for vegetarians. Even the vegetarian food is also spicy. The ambiance was nice and there is no Smokey or stringent smell like other Non veg hotels. Waiting time will be there during festival times and weekends.
