coromandel cafe

great food! one of the best breads i have eaten in the garlic bread. pizza with caramelized onion and goat cheese tasted incredible

finally visited this place and i had mixed feelings about this one - the ambience is great, everything else : not so much.
the food took forever to come. we literally had to remind the waiters multiple times, even for the bill. the portion size is pathetic, especially because of the price you’d be paying for it.
taste is okay.
there’s always a long queue and waiting period, especially if it’s during lunch/brunch time so be prepared for that, more so if you’re going in a group.

we visited the restaurant around 12-12:30pm and the only thing available was chicken pesto pizza. the taste was okay.. french press coffee was refreshing. and the ambiance was 💯! overall 8/10

it’s the most overrated and over hyped place i have ever been. third class pizza and pasta with no toppings in the name of authentic food. tasteless food where fresh lime mix doesn’t have sugar n lemon. staff is so absence minded that with pizza you need to ask for seasoning, chilli flakes, ketchup and even plate!!!

a big let down on my entire pondicherry trip. worst place. only the ambience is good rest food and staff both are not even worth a try

beautiful ambience with a garden sitting area and inside the bunk for which retains the old charm including the furniture. slightly on the expensive side for the ambiance it provides. food was fine as its expensive and very okay-ish to taste. try coffee here and creamy cheese & aubergine crispy rolls.

if you are visiting this place don’t expect below ⬇️

good food ( they have the best looking bad tasting food

good hospitality ( staff is rude and unwelcoming )


this place has only good ambience and food is the worst

food taste- 4/5
variety veg- 2/5
variety nveg 4.5/5
staff to allow seating- 1/5 . needs to be a proper desk and a person behind. i had to find a person to ask for a table
staff- unbothered, rude. unwelcoming. experience ruined on two different days by staff. i think you should consider a training for your staff
overall - 4/5
thai veggies should be served with jasmine rice and not basmati rice.

decent-good food, nice ambience.
what could’ve been a great experience is ruined by the staff. every. single. time. they’re just very unwelcoming, unbothered, late and rude. i don’t know if they’re trained to be that way or something to show some sort of elusivity of the place or whatever it is that they’re trying to do, ‘cause every one of them acts this way. super weird.

go if you can see beyond the cold service and bare the wait time.

the ambience is good and the food is okay but what stood out for me the most when i walked out of the place was the rude management and in general terrible customer service. in case you decide to make a trip there, i hope you get a table of your choice without waiting for long cause otherwise the meal might just take a bad turn.

can't review on the food because we didn't get a chance to enter. we reached there at 7 pm for dinner and the place was already full which is understandable considering the place is listed among top 10 places to visit. there is a person at the gate whose job is to shoo away people. we were ready to wait, but this person wouldn't even entertain that. he straight away said, "we are done for the day". out of curiosity, if we can do any reservations to get a table. that's when i get to know that they don't do reservation, neither they have any waiting list. they do first come first serve. but for that you have to reach there at 5.30-6 for dinner. so basically, if you are travelling for a weekend, and you have plans to visit this place, only your luck can get you in. they do not put effort for queue management or do reservations. however, they have a dedicated person at the gate to shoo away the visitors in a very very rude tone.
a place with 170 seating capacity, i can't believe that i have to reach by 6 to get a table at dinner. post that, they won't entertain anyone. this whole system and their behaviour just reflects their arrogance towards the tourists visiting their place

when in pondicherry, one shouldn't miss visiting this place. i loved it's outdoor as well as indoor seating. i went around 4 pm and there was no waiting but if you going around meal times then better to make reservations.
i loved the food options. it reminded me of my trip to ubud, bali as the variety it offered in menu was on similar lines of restaurants that were in ubud.
we ordered creamy cheese aubergine rolls and pumpkin chilli goat cheese dips as starters. for main course, we ordered spicy harissa spaghetti. for beverages, we ordered marigold green tea, paan mojito and street herbologist. everything was out of this world. i was amazed by paan mojito as they had used real betelnut leaves and not some flavour. the quality of food is awesome but should work on quantity of food. especially the aubergine rolls, they provided just 2 pc and we were three of us.
overall
food 5/5
ambience 5/5
service 4/5
value for money 3/5 (considering the quantity)

shitty place… they treat people like shit… simply creating hype by gathering crowd at entrance.. saying it’s full all time of the day.. doesn’t take pre bookings, says it is first come first serve, i wonder how on earth he can remember who came first in that crowd… horrible hospitality… i kinda have a feeling like they have preferences among the customers.

pondichery is a place where gem of the cafes are located here
.
ad you enter this cafe you are struck by the beautiful vibes its ambience gives it to you
.
they have a garden seating area and also indoor seating area
.
to cool us down we ordered some mocktails
.
cucumber n mint cooler
virgin mojito
organic passion fruit twist

the mocktails had a pretty decent flavour. i wouldn't recommend you to try out the mocktails here
.
posh n pink tagliatelle - this was pink pasta sheets which was incorporated with red cabbage, sprouts and alfredo white sauce
it gave a proper smooth taste

*highly recommended ☝️

tandoori spiced butter chicken - they gave us the option if we want bread or rice along with the curry. we opted for rice. the gravy was smooth with a hit of sweetness and was buterry as well

we ended our meal with a burnt american cheesecake which gave a pretty good taste

the place is a little expensive but you can give this place a try atleast for 1 time

the café ambience is great! the menu is pretty normal. service could be better, as they forget to get the dishes to the table after it’s done so you have to check on your order once or twice. i can understand the hype because it’s one of those instagrammable spots but other than that it’s nothing exceptional. nevertheless, it was a good experience!

this cafe serves best pizzas in town. just loved the food. there ice cold coffee is also amazing. even there garlic is also good. given 4 stars as service was really slows had to wait a lot for food to come.
