Awesome food !!!! Great Place !!! The must haves - Motia Palak - the best Palak dish I have had in ages... and Tadkkewali Papad Bhurji - a new twist to the Papad. And Dhaba de Dal is to die for !!!
Had been touring some remote areas South India and had been missing authentic Indian Punjabi cuisine. Being north Indian I do crave for my black daal and paneer. With apprehensions i randomly walked into tadkka dhaba and was pleasantly surprised. Just superb north Indian food.. even congratulated the chef to know where he learnt his skills ...guys must visit place if u crave north Indian cuisine while in Pondicherry ! !
Good place located in heritage town. Seating is not sufficient. Food is good. We ordered for anda curry, paneer kalimirch, roti, veg biriyani and lassi. Loved their anda curry. But they are not able to handle the crowd and fail to serve food on time. Make you wait atleast 30-40 min to serve a simple dish. Saw many of their customers walking out because of the long wait and when I informed this to the waiter cum cashier, he's so casual and least brothered about customers walking out. They need to improve on the time taken to serve the food. Overall ok experience.
Amazing North Indian options, especially loved the tandoori mushroom, melted in my mouth and was soooooo tasty! One must go here if they want to get their hands on some exceptional North Indian food :)
This place is my favourite in the white town area of Pondicherry, because of it's cosy ambience and the food tastes authentic literally. Tried the mutton curry with naan. And the price is little higher than the local places. The mutton cost around 300 rupees with taxes if i am not wrong,which is still okey because there's enough to be shared between two persons. Had tried the mutton and chicken biryani from here also..loved it.
If u are looking for north Indian dishes it will be a very good option for having ur food..
It is a small restaurant but ambitious is very nice. Decoration is quite good with music.
Food is freshly prepared & taste is very good.
I would like to say the quality of the food is outstanding..
We ordered in starter paneer malai tikka.. paneer was very soft & juicy.. taste is very good.. & for main course naan & chicken tikka masala..
Naan was good & coming to chicken tikka masala.. gravy was thick paste, & taste is proper North Indian..
No objection regarding food..
Coming to price it was worth but still little expensive but definitely you can try once...
You ll get authentic north Indian food here. best place to have some north Indian food in Pondicherry. interior is also good. good for groups. price is reasonable. overall nice experience. very satisfied.
A good North Indian Restaurant in Pondicherry. The board at the entrance says Kindly Overeat catches you and it will not cheat you. Great ambience, tasty food and mouth watering desserts.
Very tasty food. Open till 11:30 we cud get very nice food at the time when other places were closing. Highly recommended for ppl who want to eat north indian food.
I am always apprehensive to try North Indian food in South India and vice versa because authenticity is at stake. But Tadkka Dhaba is highly recommended to each and every one of those who have Punjabi cravings now and then. I entered the street where this restaurant is located and voila 5 points to the aroma.
I along with my friends tried both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. We ordered dahi ke sholay which I would suggest everyone to try because it was top notch. Paneer tikka was very soft and flavorful. Chicken tikka was absolute delight. It was juicy and tender. For the main course we tried the house special Anda tadka and Kadhai chicken and trust me it's one of the best. Dessert is a must and what better than gulaab jamun and ice cream.
Bottomline : Serves the most authentic punjabi food in Pondicherry.
Had chicken biryani, chicken masala and rice. All were super tasty. Chicken pieces were nicely and slowly cooked. The masala gravy tasted authentic. Service was quick.
Restaurant advertising to be North Indian and looting customers as if people are unfamiliar with this cuisine. And cherry on the cake is the customer service. There was literally no other customer than our group and yet there was utter negligence.
Food tastes fine, atleast what we ordered including typical gravies both veg and non veg and the breads. The Awadhi dum biriyani was delicious.
Not much spacious.
Classic cute ambience with quirky wall art.
Suitable for small families.
Narrow streets, might be difficult to find parking though it’s not on a much busy street.

Ordered kadai chicken from this place… it was awesome…. Excellent flavour and smell… would definitely try other items from the menu….
The food here was tasty. The menu has not got much variety but if you are looking for a good lunch or dinner this can be a place to look up to. The service guy can speak multiple languages and is well mannered. The order turn around time is a bit high though. Nevertheless, the food is worth the price.
The fried rice here tastes more like biriyani though😂
Wonderful service, they speak multiple languages so there is no communication gap, and the food was absolutely delicious.
We tried the Paneer Makhani with the butter naan. We also ordered Paneer Tikka for starters. This was one of the best paneer tikka's I've had. I keep a record of which places serve the best paneer tikka, based solely on taste, this one was a whopping 8/10. I have only seen such a good taste in few other places.
So, if you visit, be sure that there are some great vegetarian options. Not to mention, the non-vegetarian options were ample good looking for those who love it.
Hey northies, I know this is very much hard to find the best place for main course and starters in pondicherry,
So this is the best place where you can enjoy the perfect meal you want in main course and the taste of their food is too much awesome that you will love it but let me *warn* you guys about something I don't like and that is the quantity they are serving in starters but the taste is good that you guys will anyway enjoy it.
But this place is mainly for main course meals from my recommendation.
I hope you guys will enjoy here,
If you will then make my comment helpful.
The management is very nice, we have visited all of sudden to request some rice and dal for our 9 months old baby. Though dhaba was closed, they understood our situation and arranged food. The good thing is they didn't charge anything as the food was for the baby. Very kind and helpful. Thanks a lot to the entire staff.
Good food . The hariyali paneer tikka was exquisite. Also try the butter naan. Car parking is a problem.
One of the best North India dhaba style food in town. Their Paneer dishes melt in your mouth. Chicken Tikka and Dal Makhni were excellent. And we had nothing to complain about the accompanying Naans and Kulchas. Their Dahi ke Sholey is one of the definate highlights
Authentic North Indian food. Very tasty chicken tandoori and chicken biryani. Butter nan is original. Portions are small though. For 4 people, it will cost atleast 1400 for a full dinner. Place is casual type, ideal for families. Serving is little slow, takes atleast 25 mins. So if u order something during eating, it will arrive only after u have finished the entire meal. Bathroom is a little cramped space. Overall, cosy place to have a relaxed and very tasty meal.
We ordered around 10-12 dishes and not even 1 dish was mediocre. All the dishes were 100/100. Amazing hospitality and mind blowing food. If you crave for good North Indian food in Pondy, this is the place to go.
