Great healthy food that gives you energy to go on with your day instead of weighing you down! Plus a great atmosphere and sense of humor from the staff! A must when in Auroville!
This place is a hidden gem. Amazing food which reminds you of home. The best part is that this is freshly prepared and super duper healthy. The juices are as natural as they can get. Pani Puri is a must have. The owner is such an amazing person who customizes as per your need! Would definitely love to visit again! :)
Mother's Grace is a little island of peace and fraternity in Auroville. The food is wholesome and evokes the security of familiar home-cooked aromas. The menu has great variety, making it a place one can go back to again and again.
The ambience is cool, artistic and friendly.
Enya, Radhika and their staff made this experience unforgettable for us. Super helpful and relaxed as they did what they clearly love doing!
One of the best places for healthy food at Auroville with a large spread of health drinks. Courteous Restaurateur. Would love to come back soon.
One of the healthiest and cleanest meals which is hard to find in a restaurant. It reminded me of my mom’s food, prepared with care and served with love. Enya is a lovely host and customised the food for us. It’s rare to find genuine eateries like Mother’s Grace. Thanks guys.
This place provides a great experience in several regards. The foods are highly nutritional and well-sourced and they have a wide variety of local drinks to try, including ayurvedic juices and smoothies as well as lassis. Dishes and drinks can be personalized to fit one's tastes and nutritional preferences. Dishes took a bit of time to prepare but the wait was well worth the freshness of the food and the quality of the cooking. I tried the Healthy Food Plate several times as it is a well-rounded, filling meal at an affordable price that rotated local dishes, a few of my favorites being the Kerala-style sambhar and the spinach thoran. I loved the puli inji on the side, so tasty. My favorite drinks were the khus drink and the cardamom lassi - I will remember these for a long time. I could tell each thing I tried was made consciously with care. On top of these things, the ambiance is relaxing with very good background music. The staff is kind, informative if you have any questions, and honors any personal requests. It is surely a must-try for anyone visiting the area!
Had a lovely time, very friendly owner and delicious homely meal. All the items were extremely fresh which was the usp of the place. Definetly a repeat!!
This place can be easily listed in hidden gem of Auroville. Food is really awesome here. Really liked owner's welcoming nature and she prepared food as per our liking keeping every little detail in her mind.
Definitely a must try place on your trip to Auroville for a wholesome meal.. Don't miss it.

This is a restaurent which is not running with the philosophy of earning money.... It's certainly to provide home food with excellent taste and quality. You need to give a little time to the lady the owner and enjoy great food
This cafe might go unnoticed among the numerous cafes on the auroville road, but give it a try if you crave for some home style food. Lady who runs the cafe is friendly, takes care of all the requests on customizing food be it allergies or your dislikes. Best part of this cafe is everything served here is fresh. We tried methi paratha and fried rice. Rice served here is parboiled rice which is very healthy but dont expect the texture of basmati. Serves jain food on request.
Worthy name, I had pav bhaji and blueberry lassy both are very tasty and fresh!. If you miss your mother food, best place to go and eat. Thank you maa😊
This is a small little cafe in Auroville. The owner is a lady who prepares dishes herself. Since everything is freshly prepared, the dishes take a bit of time to be served. I just went there for a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. Both were made on the spot. Both were good.
Nice place. Fresh food is served here. Do try gol gappe here. Also place looks very beautiful. Food preparation will take time but it's worth waiting.
Wat an amazing place !!!
By the time you see all the pictures and writings on the wall your amazing vegan delicious food will be ready !!
Masala chai with organic jaggery was the best !!!
3.5⭐️
This Vegan friendly Cafe and Juice bar is just beside the FarmFresh.!
This place is not for those who are In a rush for a quick bite as they take some time to prepare food(we can read on their walls which says that they need 40mins as they prepare everything fresh).!
Ambience was simple and gives us back home kindoff feel.!
Had tasted their delicious Pav Bhaji before we started our meal course.!
Cream of spinach soup is for those who have no problem with greens,
Their aloo parathas are one of the best in Pondicherry complemented well with tofu masala.
Zeera rice and egg rice were palatable (made of thick rice).!
Lemon mint juice and jal jeera were good.
Overall a decent vegan experience.!
This place is located near auroville bakery, it prepares organic food which is very healthy. the down side is they take quite a lot of time to prepare since they prepare everything for an individual order and not give you pre prepared food, so avoid when you are in a hurry. they have very indigenous touch and believe in sustainable living.
I have visited Mother's Grace a couple of times now and each time I have thoroughly enjoyed the ambience, the delectable North Indian dishes, especially the Pani-puri, Pav bhaji and dal makhani and the personalised service. In my last visit I tasted one of their vegan chocolate cakes covered in chocolate syrup. It was made from wheat and not flour and instead of sugar, they used jaggery. It was the perfect way to end a delicious meal! :)
We had an amazing dinner at Mother's Grace. The food was delicious and service was extremely professional. The organic theme and related decor was really interesting to note. It was really nice interacting with the proprietors and learning about their life. Their attempt to sustain an organic way of life is truly commendable.
People looking for proper North Indian veg food must visit the place. The taste is good. You will get desi touch. There is greenery all around.
Staying in auroville for just 7 days and whenever we craved to have something spicy or North Indian we would just crash to @mother's Grace. Perfect place to hangout and enjoy delicious food which tastes like homemade and which is! Thanks for making our stay memorable with wonderful food...
This place is located on auroville main road and offers vegan food. The serving time is a bit long, apart from that the food is really healthy and nice. The staff here is really courteous.
The earlier reviews are testament to the great food and service at this restaurant.
I had palak paneer - which was the best I've ever had. I was a little dubious when I ordered it, because I have had so many bad attempts at this dish. The sauce was so tasty and the paneer was moist and melt in your mouth. The owner was telling me that nearly all of their ingredients are organic including the oil. Cost in total was 410 Rupees, that included a fresh pineapple juice, and rice. So good, I'm going back there tomorrow for lunch!
I came across this restaurant cum juice-bar through some friends. Situated at the very entrance of Auroville, Mother's Grace is very easy to locate. It's run by a mother-daughter duo, who are extremely friendly, helpful and hard working. I was especially impressed with the way they treat their customers.
The restaurant provides a variety of dishes but I must say that I am partial to their juices which are fresh and completely natural. For food, I would recommend the pani puri which tastes divine and quite rare to come across in Pondy. I also tried their dosas and I must admit, they were yum. Definitely check out their vegan options, all of which are healthy, fresh and follow the 'farm to table' concept.
Go show them some love and visit this place on your way to Auroville to enjoy some quiet time with the wonderful company of refreshing dishes and beverages.
Very good food, everything is nice and fresh. Prepared with love, you can really taste it. Because its so fresh, it can take a while. Come here back again. 🙏🏻
I was over here this weekend with 6 of my other friends. Really enjoyed the coffee, onion dosa and aloo parathas. Though the wait time is long, yet the ingredients used are all natural and fresh which only adds to the taste of the food. The paintings are very beautiful I wish to come back here.
Clean, friendly, quite lovely and warm atmosphere.
Loved the palak tofu dish and the chocolate dessert was super tasty.
A vegan heaven outside the main road. Have your eyes wide open and enjoy the bites. Can't wait for next time
My favourite milkshake with cashew milk :)) I spent there nice time helping in the kitchen. It's clean there and restaurant is very good located :) Food delicious :))))
Good food, great taste. They are very meticulous about the hygiene. And add to that a young, amiable and hospitable host, makes for a fabulous place to hangout.
An awesome place to savour your taste buds with so many dishes and smoothies to try out. Was amazed by the artwork done inside and outside the restaurant. They have really good pani puris and pizza dosa is a must try. The smoothie menu also has a variety to offer.
Wonderful place for all the healthy foodies out there! Pani Puri was yum.I also loved the lemon mint and noodles. Fresh and healthy. In addition to food, the ambiance, service, collection of books is good. Take your time to check out each piece of decor :) A must go!
A random place to chill with friends turned out to be a great find of a restaurant :')
The spread was refreshing and the ambience was very comfortable and homely.
10/10 would recommend, for anyone who's looking for a tryst with healthy, tasty food, a great ambience, and undivided attention :')

Amazing food, beautiful ambience and really friendly owner. Extremely cheap and value for money. Must go to place if you're looking for healthy, light and yummy food. Every dish personalized to your wants.
This place was a random walk in and believe me it's amazing! The food here tastes so organic and beautiful! We ordered different dishes , juices and tea. Not a single dish disappointed us!
Paranthas and poha were delicious!
The best part was the 'mother' of the restaurant! She made our experience unforgettable:)
I recommend this place to everyone visiting Auroville. It is an underrated restaurant :)
A wonderful place to hang out with friends and chill out. Amazing drinks and awesome food. This can easily be your go-to place to chill! ^.^
Amazing place with a an amazing person serving us! Will definitely recommend to check out this place if you come to auroville. Very homely feel.
The food here is out of this world. The mother-daughter duo truly have put in a ton of love and effort and it'd be a waste of your trip to Pondi of you miss this place. Also, loved the decor.
Warm place, not a fast food, yummy tastes. The owner is very accommodating and loves ABBA music. Fresh organic food from local farm, short menu. Attention to details and customer pleasing is felt. Trip advisor rated.
I love this place. Wandered into it while looking for a healthy food choice to conclude the hot summer day and I'm so glad I found it! Food is amazing and the atmosphere is awesome (great music playlist by the way). The owner Enya is super friendly, she showed me how to make the food, gave me great recommendations for pondicherry and we had such a lovely chat in general :) one of my best experience in auroville!
If you want to have a Desi,organic food taste in the indo-french land, then you are at the right place. One of the best places in Pondicherry that I could think of to have breakfast,lunch and dinner and yes snacks too.The best part about this restraurent apart from their food and ambience is the behaviour of the owner,who welcomes or treats every single customer with special attention.In short.... it's really a "Mother's Grace" and if you are in Pondicherry, a visit is must.
We had an amazing dinner at Mother's Grace. The food was delicious and service was extremely professional. The organic theme and related decor was really interesting to note.
Beautiful interiors, soul food, very hygienic, great host and service, nice world music (French etc), very different creative kinda ambience, in the middle of auroville greens
Good place for eating, had a good experience of auro food, the service is littel slow but food is worth to wait.
Good Vagetarian food. Owner is very kind and make personilsed food. She prepRes Jain food also. Tried Paratha and were awesome.
Mother’s Grace is such an incredible restaurant! They use fresh local organic fruits and vegetables and can customize every dish to be vegan or gluten-free (and in my case, both). The choice of healthy drinks, juices and smoothies is very long, and can also be completely customized. The owners were also extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back!
The food is amazing as it is freshly made. The quality is par excellence as they get quite a lot of their stuff from their organic garden. The staff is friendly and the owners are beautiful souls. I have had some of my more precious memories in this place. I love this place! Highly highly recommend!
This place is a true gem. Conscientious plant- based food created by a compassionate and friendly mother and daughter. I loved visiting and the food was delicious and authentic. My only regret is that I forgot to take photographs! In a more and more commercial area, these wonderful women are worth supporting 💙🙏
The owners and the staff are so polite and kind. Best organic food you would get here. The ambience is brilliant, with its classic artifacts and home made decor, makes the place curious. You'll lose yourself checking out various things kept in there!
Best time.
Mother's Grace is a fantastic vegan, and vegetarian restaurant.
Radhika is a really nice and friendly person, he gave us a great explanation about the food and healthy smoothies that we quickly received.
When they accidentally made 2 smoothies instead of 1, we got the other one free of charge.
The music, ambiance, attention to details, service and the incredible food were all 5 stars, this is the first of many times we plan on visiting this restaurant.
Highly recommended!
I have read the comment below, i don't know how people can say food is organic or not after cooking you don't really know.. The service is a bit slow, but the quality is really here. They prepare in order. Every good things take time, if you want a huge amount of food, rice a spice in 5 minute and feeling heavy skip the place, if you want tasty food, eating consciously and having a good time in a calm atmosphere this place is for you
The smoothies and ingredients were fresh, and the food was not very heavy. The owner was very friendly and the service was great. We especially enjoyed the pav bhaji that tasted just like it was home made.
Excellent food. The best place to go. It’s such a peaceful ambience. Just loved the North Indian. Perfect balance of flavours. And the chef and owners were absolutely courteous and extended excellent hospitality to me.
Mother's Grace is a little island of peace and fraternity in Auroville. The food is wholesome and evokes the security of familiar home-cooked aromas. The menu has great variety, making it a place one can go back to again and again.
The ambience is cool, artistic and friendly.
Enya, Radhika and their staff made this experience unforgettable for us. Super helpful and relaxed as they did what they clearly doing!
My wife and I have been regular visitors to this cozy little restaurant for the past couple of years.
I would definitely recommend you try north Indian delicacies like Pav Bhaji, Paranthas, Shahi Paneer, Pani Puri, Dal Tadka, Poha, etc... etc. Request that your food be made with organic ghee.
Do also try the homemade chocolate brownie and the smoothies.
What we really like is that the food is prepared fresh on order (yes, the preparation does take time; but it's worth the wait). The ingredients are authentic and healthy. And they maintain good hygienic standards.
We are deeply inspired by Enya (the 23-yr old entrepreneur) and her mom. Together, they have created a very lovely, homely space. Our long stays in Auroville would have been incomplete with you.
For us, this place is more than just a restaurant. It's like home. We have some very beautiful memories here. All the very best!
