I happened to discover this place on my last visit to Auroville and instantly fell in love with it. The relaxed vibe, earthy ambience, the lovely hosts and adorable dogs... And most of all - the food, with its naturally authentic flavours made it a soothing experience for the tummy as well as the soul.⁣

PS : If I lived in Auroville and could have such meals everyday, I could definitely consider turning Vegan!⁣

Fabulously healthy and tasty meals.

We had the thali. It started with vendayam (fenugreek) coffee and kezhvaragu (Ragi) laddu. Both were tasty and whetted our appetite for the main plate. That had thinai (foxtail millet), noolkol (turnip), fresh salad with carrots, cabbage & sprouted moong dal, ellu (sesame) chutney and kara kozhambu (not very spicy).

We also had a bowl of red rice and moong dal with Karivepilai (spicy curry leaf powder) podi.

We finished the meal with regular coffee made with coconut milk and jaggery.

The food was fresh and refreshing. The tastes popped on our tongues. The whole meal left us refreshed.

The service is very friendly. The ambiance while simple is clean. The people serving were always willing to answer questions.
