KBS Kofe Barr

What to drink: Coffee and Masala Paal (Milk)

Where: KBS Kofe Barr, At the corner of Rue Saint Martin, Near Chief Secretariat, Puducherry

Verdict: Having a coffee or Masala Paal on a Sunday evening, that too in front of beach...it's like dream comes true for me. Climate was so cool today in Pondy. Promenade or Rock beach is one of the beautiful beaches in India.

Whilst walking towards the beach, we saw a crowd standing and sipping Masala Paal in KBS Kofi bar. So we too opted for a coffee and Masala Paal. Milk had a strong flavour of added spices and Badam with a thick layer spices and Milk cream. It costs 30₹ for Masala Milk and 20₹ for coffee.

They also sell delicious Puttu (Steamed rice powder) for 20₹ in the morning. You should definitely try this one fine day after a stroll on the beach road.

Pondy Sri Kamatchi

What to eat: South Indian Non Veg Meal & Biriyani

Where: Hotel Sri Kamatchi, 100ft Road, Puducherry

Verdict: Kamatchi is the best place to have Tamil nadu style Non Veg meal in Pondy. Ask any cab or auto driver for the best briyani in Pondy. They will direct you to here. After a long walk in Auroville, we asked our driver to stop over here for lunch. We had chicken briyani, mutton briyani, coriander chicken fry and fish fingers.

Mutton Biriyani

Briyani was made of tiny seeraga samba rice, not much spicy but very tasty, could n't find onion/tomato separate. However briyani quantity was bit less, as they also provide steamed rice and rasam along with it. Rasam was too tasty, I literally drank some at the end.

Chicken Biriyani

Fish fingers were crunchy, but what made it super tasty was the accompanied mayonnaise. Mayo was bit sweet..I haven't had anything like this earlier. Coriander chicken fry was just like chicken 65, hot and juicy.
 



Overall I would say it's far better than Anjappar and other so called Chettinad restaurants. Total meal set us back by 896₹. While we walk down the exit, found an ice cream parlour downstairs where they sell ice sweet beeda for 25₹. Don't miss it when you come here. If you ever hit Pondy, don't miss the yummy chettinad style cuisine in Kamatchi.

Surguru

What to eat: South Indian Tiffen and Lunch




Where: Surguru Restaurant, Mission Street, Pondicherry


Verdict: Surguru is the top-notch south Indian veg restaurant in Puducherry. It has various branches. We had breakfast in Mission St branch. Ambience was super cool. You may get a feeling of entering a high cost restaurant. But believe me it's vfm when compared to Saravana bhavan. You will get fully satisfied at the end of the meal. We had pongal, vada, poori and filter coffee. Pongal was soo softy, melts at mouth. All were happy at the end. Total meal set us back by 299₹.
