Coromandel café offers a wide variety of exotic Indian and international delicacies. The cucumber and mint cooler was refreshing and hydrating and is the drink that I needed to cool off in the heat and humidity of Puducherry. Followed by mushroom and tofu skewers and...a mouth watering plate of ravioli the food was simply amazing and worth the price. Although, a suggestion would be to reserve a table as the seating options would become limited to outdoors and the waiting time increases for air conditioned seating as the weather might not be the most suitable to enjoy a relaxed dinner.More

My reviews summarise what was Excellent, Very Good, Good, Average, Below Average and Poor and special mentions. Very Good General ambiance, look and feel Good Food - Not bad, but now what it''s made out to be. Marginally above average Poor Service and staff attitude....They give you the impression that they are doing you a favour by even talking to you or taking your order. Absolutely unnecessary.More

Coromandel cafe is nestled amidst a lush garden and was the perfect choice for a late afternoon meal. We enjoyed the food and the ambience. The afternoon heat was a bit oppresive which was why we chose to be seated indoors else a table in...the outdoors would have been charming. Service was prompt. The decor, garden, lighting and architecture were all perfect for a girls lunch pictures Keep up the good work folksMore

Amazing ambience. Extremely good food and good list of drinks both mocktails and cocktails. Really worth a visit. Slightly on the pricey side but we’ll worth it. The best food we ate in Pondicherry for sure

The ambience was lovely both inside and outside - there was a significant wait to be seated inside - understandably. The food and deserts were really lovely. Located in a rapidly shrinking classic charming part of the city

It's like you find your oasis, a place where you would love to stay all day long! Surprisingly, a great variety of vegetarian dishes, we enjoyed every dish, the best meal we had in India. The quality of ingredients, the cooking, methods, different textures in...the same dish. Amazing! Worth every rupee, the best dining experience in Pondicherry! Also, cakes are great, amazing choices, both vegetarian and vegan.More

We went at around 4:30 in the afternoon for a cup of coffee. First we sat outside at the ground floor and we were told to go inside for tea / coffee as they only serve meals outside. The guy escorted us to the first...floor where another couple was sitting. We sat there and were appreciating the decor when another guy came and told us that upstairs is closed and we need to go back downstairs. We told him that we were asked to come up and he told us it’s not possible. We again went down and asked the staff what was wrong and they all seemed super lost and unhelpful. Thanks!More

Coromandel Cafe was in our itinerary right from the beginning and it definitely did not disappoint. The ambience and menu options were just great. I would visiting the place for lunch and cooling off till the afternoon heat softens. We had ordered for Beer battered...Fish & Chips and Phad Thai Salad. The quantity and the plating felt like something out of a premium hotel. Please do make sure to include this restaurant in your trip as well. The service is also on point.More

I know this place is supposed to get a 5-star rating, and it was indeed very good, but it could have been better. I felt the dishes couldn't make up their mind as to whether they're western, or Indian, or fusion. Still, the ambience was...great (lots of young people just hanging out), service was good, and the food was just one part of the experience.More
