What i loved was the French and Italian food served here. The meals are tasty , huge in quantity and very satisfying. I had the beef cooked in wine. It was excellent. We had a very friendly waiter who served us well. Im not too sure but i think his name was Pierre.

We got a table on the rooftop. Nice ambiance, and the garden seating downstairs is good as well. The waiters were very courteous. Food was good but overpriced so we ended spending quite a bit on the meal for 4.

We went to this place to have our last dinner in Pondicherry. As it was Lonely Planet top choice, we thought it would be a good place. A lot of patience is needed to dine in this place as service is very slow. After placing our order we waited about 50 minutes!! However the rooftop restaurant has nice ambiance and... More

We had lunch at satsanga. Place was half full only, but service was very slow. Food was okay but nothing special. One dish came already cold to the table. A bit dissapointing for what they charge.

Lonely planet bad review strikes again. The location of this resturant is lovely, the garden is nice and it might be nice to have a relaxing drink in the evening. However, the food is terrible. The pesto pasta was nearly in edible and the eggplant ratatouille was only just better, the accompanying bread was stale and it was all a... More

We were there in January, with guest from France, Australia, Russia and India. Though the ambiance of the restaurant is very good with beautiful lights and old world kind of char, it fails to deliver on the most important reason one visits a restaurant and that is food. Somewhere the restaurant is unable to decide if it wants to serve... More

Had prawn masala fry and prawn curry. Both absolutely excellent. Perfectly cooked (prawns are often overcooked in Indian restaurants but not here). The place was medium clean. Could've been better but then again we chose to dine in their outdoor tables and one can expect some minor bugs etc. But seeing a roach is kinda off putting. However i wouldn't... More

I had been in this restaurant in November 2012. The restaurant was quite emptya s there were only 3-4 tables with people. I've to admit that in the beginning I had some doubt, but then, we ordered two steaks and they had been delicious! Food was amazing, but quite expensive. Be warned!

We went there only for the food, which did not disappoint us. We had the chicken mushroom crepe in white cream sauce to start with. Was not warm enough but was the perfect blend of cream cheese and herbs. The Fish in Pesto Basil and the Garlic Pepper Beef steak were absolutely delicious. We literally scrubbed our plates clean.
