Love the selection of sweets. The chocolate olive oil cake is a must try item.

I've had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. It has a good interior.

Super place to meet and chat with coworkers. The service was very friendly and kind.

The food was underwhelming and not very flavorful. It was more of an American take on Indian food; interesting idea but the result was not great

I was quite disappointed by the overall experience. Not sure if this was just one of those "off days" but I went in on a Saturday morning looking forward to some delicious mid-morning snacks. The place was empty and there was a young girl working behind the counter. Every time I asked her questions about the menu or any particular dish, her response was "I'm sorry, I don't know. I don't usually work at this location." For a customer, the experience starts with interacting with the server and unfortunately it wasn't what I expected. Not sure who would be responsible for this - perhaps management? It would be a great idea to make sure all staff members are familiar with menu items at the particular location they are working at. Anyway, this experience definitely affected my overall impression of the food. I ordered the chutney eggs with toast but I asked if I could order a separate side order of a roti for my daughter. The young girl had no idea how to add on that request - I mean I wanted to pay for an extra roti. They already make rotis but she had no idea how to accommodate my request. I was also caught off guard when I asked if they had any side of butter or jam to accompany the toast. Response was "no". Hopefully others have a different experience!

We had to wait for 30 minutes just for three orders. The service was horrible- only one chef and one server. We left before our food arrived; we couldn’t wait any longer.

Mawa cakes are the best

My partner and I visited this Cafe at 10 on a Saturday. The place was completely empty as they had just opened. We ordered some almond chai, Kerala noodles, Mulagatawny soup and the Bombay Benedict. While all were decent, the Benedict was the clear standout. While I'm not always in the mood for Pondicherry's brand of Indian food, I'll definitely come back when I'm in the mood for some inventive cuisine. The service was good and the ambiance of the place was excellent.

Had breakfast here--was really impressed. Highly recommend the bombay benedict.

This is a small cafe for a quick bite not a full restaurant. The food is very good and the service is excellent. Don't think your going to have a big menu or formal meal. Its a great stop and worth trying. Limited menu but very good healthy choices.
Lovely pop up museum food spot. Drinks, desserts and food are all a must after a visit to the museum.

Lovely, healthy food! Short hours - only open until 5pm. Seems kitchen will shut down early if no one is there. Don't miss out like we did the first time we came for dinner! Arriving another day at 4:30 another day was successful. And just beautiful, peaceful setting and views through the windows.

Food was great, quantity was good. Presentation was good as well. Really loved the innovative concept of the items on the menu. The taste of Indo-western variety blends well. Will definitely return, hopefully to the main location to try more varieties on the menu. The location is fantastic, we prked in the street, lucky we did not get a ticket. Lady at the counter could have been a little more courteous- it doesn't hurt to smile at the customers- was stone faced and when we asked if we could park on the street- she answers- I guess it should be fine. Someone friendly here at the front would definitely make me want to go again. She didn't seem to want to answer more questions of what was on the menu.

Nice and cozy. Quiet and modern looking. Don't expect to come in here and find a full menu as if it were a regular restaurant. It's not. This place has few options but enough to find a quick tasty bite. It feels more like a "tapas" menu. We are very satisfied with our first visit. The mango lassi is outstanding!Come support this little joint!

Wow! The Asian Society featured Tibetan art today. That was enough of a joy. But I also had the Bombay Benedict at the Pondi Cafe there. Pure joy! I went rapidly from art Nirvana to culinary Nirvana. Try this dish and breath inward. Ohmmmmm
