boston cafe

visited boston cafe in the evening after the much raved reviews on zomato.
it's a small place, not much ‘ambience’ and from what was told, and experienced, everything was freshly prepared.

ordered : chicken fried rice, chicken burger, cold coffee, mint juice.

the food was good.
loved the drinks- 100/100 for both cold coffee and the very refreshing mint juice.

definitely loved the smiling hosts!!

was in search for a quick bite and this place had very good ratings!
now this is a small homely cafe with a few tables, but the place is quite clean.
the owner is mr lovell fernandez, very cheerful guy and helped us choose from his vast menu. if you find the ambience not up to your standard, please don't turn away! the food was absolutely fabulous! really blew us away! we had the beef stake, beef chili, crab masala and the prawn combo meal.we also tried the mint drink and it was fabulous.
the crab masala was shredded crab meat fried with south indian spices. it had excellent flavor. the beef stake was very tender and juicy. the beef chili was also very well flavored. the combo meal had fried rice, salad, french fries and the chili prawn in batter. all the portions we're very good!

i could go on and on but to keep it short, it's an excellent place for some local food! go there if you love to eat and need value for money.

boston cafe is just the place for you if you're looking for a non-commercialized restaurant that emphasizes more on the taste of the food and their customers. during our stay in pondy we had visited here couple of times and we were not disappointed. everything we ordered was just perfect. both the beef curry and the fish curry with rice was amazingly tasty and so was the fish nuggets and fries. the owner of the restaurant and his staff was quite friendly and welcoming. until zomato publishes their latest menu here are some pictures of their menu and couple of dishes we had. 

trips to pondy mean visiting places like cafe xtasi, zuka, baker street etc but these are well explored now. so looking for something different for lunch, noticed this small cafe serving everything from parottas to burgers to steaks with rice and fresh juices at a very decent price. so we decided to try out this place last visit and loved it!

on reaching the location, we were surprised with the size. it looked quite small with only a few tables inside. but then, never judge a restaurant by its size as long as it serves great food, that's what matters. ambiance was ordinary with a few tables n plastic chairs but neat. seating for about 20 people at most with additional space upstairs.

the owner himself was at the cash table taking care of business and it was his family doing the cooking inside. very homely setup and he suggested us to definitely try the beef dishes since that's what they were known for it seems. so we ordered 1 beef biriyani (rs 140), 1 beef curry (rs 140) for me along with a parotta set (rs 35), 1 rice and chicken curry (rs 150). ordered mint lime juices (rs 25) while waiting.

the mint lime juice came soon and it was very freshly made. could see it from the bright green from the ground mint. this place is known for this juice. two of us ordered another glass.

the beef biriyani and parrota with beef curry came first and it was excellent. my parottas were some of the best i've had with that crunch n flakiness while the beef was very tender in the medium spicy curry. it didn't have any coconut oil flavor in it so probably not kerala style.

beef biriyani which i had a taste of was again lovely with lots of tender meat pieces and a mildly spicy flavor. the best dish however was the beef roast which was recommended and impressed us with the flavor and tenderness. got over within a minute. being anglo indians, they know how to prepare meat well. we had to order another serving to satisfy our craving. the homely flavor (in a yummy way :p ) in all the dishes was unmistakeable and seems to be focal point of this must try place. i could see the entire family helping with the cooking in the kitchen so that's not surprising.

service was excellent with water being served immediately and the owner was genial. unfortunately this was the last meal in pondy before heading back but next visit we would surely visit here first and try some of their other dishes like the beef burgers etc. and of course, many dishes here would be ideal "side-dishes" as well. ;-)

superb food .. superb taste..
just have your lunch/dinner here.. home made food..
fish fingers is just awesome..
yummy!
chicken dry is perfectly spiced!

haven't tried the full menu. giving 5 stars for the rice + beef curry combo. priced at 170 bucks, it's total vfm. the beef was so soft and tender, literally melted in my mouth. will definitely recommend it!

we have been visiting pondicherry for 10 years but visited this place for the first time today, thanks to zomato. a humble eatery tucked inside a small lane of pondicherry which is not too inviting from outside since its a small place. being a foodie and a traveller, i have tried almost all good places in pondicherry, from surguru to villa shanti. have liked the food there but haven't tasted such tasty, home cooked meal which i had today at boston cafe. we ordred chicken curry rice combo and beef curry rice combo. both were super delicious. i haven't had a tastier and tender beef before. just loved it. chicken curry was also amazing, especially the gravy. there are value adds too, rasam, papad etc which aren't mentioned in the menu. chicken sandwich was also good. the owner is a very friendly person. and the prices are very reasonable. quality of food is really good. this is a must visit place if you are in pondicherry!

if you are out there in pondicherry to explore eateries, this nice small cafe is a must go. a less talked about place with a friendly decent decor, this place serves the most tastebud tingling foods. must try out the beef steak, properly cooked with perfect tenderness. fish and chips is also a must go for this place.

boston café is located at mission street, puducherry. we visited this place for dinner, by that time we were really exhausted. our priority was rice, so we were looking for a restaurant which serves indian food. then we came across boston café which has some good reviews. we ordered chicken biryani, rice with nethili curry and parotta. believe me food was delicious and it's like home cooked. food was perfect not too oily and not too spicy. my friend the hungry nomad was also satisfied with the food. so like that our day ended on a great note. restaurant was very small with hardly four to five tables.

don't get fooled by it's looks it's a small place but unlce's food is yummy. he puts in the homely touch and customizes it as per your liking:)

ordered for continental dish , chicken sandwich and smash potatoes with roasted chicken. the taste was amazing with decent quantity. must try restaurant

impressive food quality and pricing. this place deserves recognition, i've ordered from here on multiple occasions and i've found the food to be consistently tasty and fresh.

boston cafe on mission street is a homely kind of place which boasts of dishing out the best burgers in town. the patty used in the burger is freshly prepared and is soft and juicy and melts in the mouth. their omelettes are delectably tasty too esp. the french and spanish. the mint-lemon concoction is a healthy option for the pondi summer.all this and more at the price they offer. i say it's a steal.... bon appétit

a small place in white town.
the menu is quite impressive.
please do have mint juice, we ordered it with the manager ‘s recommendation
we liked it so much and had 3 glasses each.
south indian thali was too gud if you wanted to have something light.
i regret to visit this place on last day of my stay in pondy.
this will be on top of my bucket list when i visit pondy next.

it was almost evening and was in the hunt for a good café/snack spot. like i always believe, most of the best foods are only found in small/hidden places. this is one such place with narrow table space and limited seating.

being an ardent chicken lover went after the chicken patty burger for the start. i was surprised to see the layers on it with great cheese and soft chicken in the middle. the oozing cheese challenged me to eat without getting my hands dirty; but, naaaa, i accepted my defeat and hugged it with both hands.
they recommended me to try out their beef sandwich since they served the best in the town. they couldn’t have sounded any better since it was definitely the best. the ground beef didn’t make me realize that i was eating beef. it was spicy, juicy and with the mint cooler, the flavours were kicking all around the mouth.

the service was courteous, but parking could be tricky at times.
