      in the last week

      I visited the cafe for Lunch and had Tarte Provancal, watermelon juice and lemon soda. It tasted awesome. Presentation was also awesome. I reduced one staf for atmosphere because it was way too hot in summer and there was no air circulation so it felt too hot.

      DO NOT GO IF YOU HAVE SOME SELF RESPECT.(Reasons below) Negatives:- 1.Didn't even came to the table for taking out order, we were the only one's at that time no crowd. We called three or four times to make them arrive at our table. BTW we already took 3 floors upstairs. 2.Never asked if you want some refreshments. NOT even served a glass of water at 1pm hot sun. 3. When we asked why glass of water was not served the staff or owner answered rudely in a fighting manner. 4. The fries were oily. The salad not even had cabbage bro they served beetroot on it like bruhh.... 5. They are somehow deleting poor reviews ahh I don't know. Even thalluvandi kadai anna will have some mercy during heavy crowds. Positives:- 1. Roasted Chicken was the only good thing.

      Loved this little hidden gem in Puducherry! We almost missed visiting this place because the entry is through a quiet residential locality and at first glance it doesn’t give you the typical “White Town café” vibe. You’ll need to climb a couple of floors to reach the rooftop restaurant, and honestly, we were a bit doubtful initially despite reading some great reviews online. But the moment we stepped in, we understood why people love this place. The ambiance is warm, earthy and full of character. Lots of bamboo interiors, thatched roofing, hand-painted doodles, wind chimes and a very relaxed tropical vibe that instantly makes you slow down and settle in. It feels simple, artistic and welcoming without trying too hard. The hosts were incredibly kind and courteous. The lady who took our order (I think she’s also the chef) was very accommodating and happily adjusted the spice levels based on our request, which we really appreciated since we were dining with our daughter. Coming to the food... the Pesto Mushroom Pasta was creamy, cheesy and absolutely delicious. The Cheesy Veg Bruschetta was another winner... fresh, flavorful and super satisfying. We also had Lemon Soda to beat the Pondy heat, and it was spot on. What we loved most is that the overall experience felt genuine and relaxed. No complaints at all... yummy food, lovely people, cozy rooftop ambiance and surprisingly pocket friendly too. Our daughter absolutely enjoyed the meal, and we left with happy stomachs and a happy mood. Definitely worth visiting if you enjoy cozy cafés with soul rather than flashy interiors.
