" A very pleasant dining experience overall. The rice and curry I had were light and flavorful, but the drink options were somewhat limited. Service was okay, could have been quicker. Still, the ambiance is nice, making it a place I would recommend for a chilled out meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem in the city! I popped in for brunch and was blown away by the creative spins on classic Indian dishes. I tried the Vegan Kebab Burger—it was massive and full of flavor. Just lovely! The atmosphere was cheerful and the service prompt, making it a truly enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining here, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The menu was hard to navigate, and although the servers were friendly, I found the overall experience a bit chaotic. The food was good but didn't really stand out in any way. Perhaps I'll give it another shot on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here on a friend's suggestion and was a bit disappointed. The food lacked the authentic Indian flavors I was hoping for, even though it was an interesting spin on traditional dishes. However, I appreciated the healthy options and the pesticide-free ingredients. The service was good, though, so something right is happening here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I honestly don't understand the hype around this restaurant. The food was decent but not at all what I expected from an Indian restaurant. I found most of the flavors underwhelming and the chai was lukewarm at best. While the decor is appealing, the food needs a serious revamp. I might give it another try but I won’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't get enough of Pondicheri! Every visit it has consistently impressed me with the flavors and quality of food. The waitstaff is always efficient and knowledgeable about the menu. The vibrant decor makes it a perfect spot for dinner with friends. Be sure to try their desserts—they're out of this world! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the food here, it's not the most authentic Indian cuisine I’ve encountered. The fusion elements were creative, but I found the flavors a bit diluted. Service was decent, though there were times our drinks took quite a while to arrive. If you're looking for something different, this could be a great spot. The pastries at the bakery are also worth checking out. " (*Curated Review*)
