boston cafe

visited boston cafe in the evening after the much raved reviews on zomato.
it's asmallplace, 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 asmallhomely 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.

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 thissmallcafe 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 quitesmallwith 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. ;-)

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 asmalllane of pondicherry which is not too inviting from outside since its asmallplace. 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 nicesmallcafe 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 verysmallwith hardly four to five tables.

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

asmallplace 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.

have to try their beef burger. its asmalland compact place. its a one man show out there, the owner does ecerything.

the place issmallwith ‘okay’ ambiance, but the everyother dish in the menu won’t disappoint you and the staffs are friendly. they are renowned for thier beef quality and taste. since the steak was made of minced beef, they couldn’t serve as medium or rare. overall worth the money and will visit again. peace and cheers.

#bestfood. asmallplace serving food like no other outlets in pondicherry. a must visit place for all the tourist. beat burger, sandwich, lime and mint juice and every other item on menu. a total value for money

food is amazing and freshly made. feels like home food. had spanish omelet, egg rice, cold coffee, mint lemon juice and many more. although being asmallplace, service is very warming

was looking for legendary eateries in pondicherry and came across boston cafe.

was here for a dinner with 4 of my friends. if you are planning to visit this restaurant as a group, i'd suggest you to make a reservation.

boston cafe has a decent ambience. this is a verysmallplace and also feels congested. service at boston cafe was a little disappointing. though the staff was courteous, orders sometimes take forever to come. the duration of our meal was around 2.5hrs which is a lot imo. they don't accept card payments, but accept payments via paytm and upi.

ordered veg balls, paneer 65, cheese burger, veg club sandwich, veg noodles, french fries and mint juice.

veg balls, club sandwich and burger tasted good. rest of the dishes were disappointing. paneer 65, fries and noodles were too greasy. mint juice tasted average.

if you're a vegetarian, you can give this place a pass.

ambience - 3
service - 2.5

will i be visiting this place again?
may think of giving this place another try. but will be expecting faster service.

boston cafe is a verysmalleatery in the busy part of the white town area. i ordered a cheese burger and i was not disappointed. i was told that they themselves make the patty and not get it from another source. i found the patty to be a little dry. but the cheese and mayo more than made up for it. i would definitely recommend this place especially for people who don't mind getting food all over their hands and mouth because the burger spills over with mayo on each bite. not that i complain. the pricing is reasonable too.
food: 4.5/5
service: 5/5

if you want to eat a lot of food without burning a hole in your pocket then this is a safe option.

don't expect much when it comes to ambience. it's asmallplace with very basic interiors.

they serve a variety of cuisines. again, don't expect authentic flavours from the continental dishes, but the local dishes were spot on. the chicken biryani was good and my sister really enjoyed the beef fry with parotta. mint lemonade was very refreshing.

good place to visit if you can't decide exactly what you want to eat and want a little bit of everything.
