Best dosa I've ever tasted. Choose any dosa from their menu and you will.not be disappointed. The South Indian thali meal is also a catch. The ambience is that of a fast food joint and they are really fast no matter how crowded the restaurant. The staff is courteous and willing to help you with your order.

We were sight seeing in Pondicherry when we asked our driver a good place to try veg food. Instantaneously the driver said we shud try Surguru.

The driver also informed us to reach there a lil early becos once it gets crowded then there is a lot of waiting time.

The ambience clean and buzzing
The staff courteous and attentive

We ordered the paneer makhani, the zaffrani veggie korma rotis and fresh lime soda.
Zero points for presentation but everything was delicious.

For the south indian touch we tried the rava dosa which was crispy and yummy, shud i say the best i must have ever tried.

At Surguru hoja shuru.

When your here try their french onion soup and their choke bhature. In south Indian foods their dosa and meals are very famous. I always have their vanilla milkshake which i personally crave for.
It has one of the best ambiences amongst the restaurants there. Its a complete package! But on weekends its a long wait due to the rush.

This was the place which made me not miss the home food when I was in Pondicherry.
Literally went here everyday for lunch while I was here.
Tried their meals, veg Biryani, aloo paratha, paneer Pulav. All the dishes were excellent.
For breakfast was there only once and had their idly, vada which was a little disappointing.
Overall if you are looking for a place to have pure veg food while in Pondicherry don't look further.

I knew I had to try this place, even before I set foot in the beautiful town of Puducherry. I wish they open in other places in the country too. Blind choose anything from the menu and I am sure it cannot go wrong. The weekend mornings are usually a bit too busy but I guess that is for a reason!

Traveling to Puducherry for the first time, did some pretty intense research about the eateries that this city has to offer. One name that kept coming up for itsā€™ South Indian fare was Surguru and hence became a must do on my list. And boy am I so glad that it did!!! This is a no frills simple yet spacious restaurant which offers both South & ā€œNorthā€ Indian fare. We went there for the South Indian and that is what my review is based on. The idli an absolute melt in your mouth and the vada a crunchy with fluffy centre delight. The masala dosa so satisfying; not too oily either. The accompanying chutneys absolutely fresh and taste bud tantalizing. The showstopper was definitely the sambhar though..could not get enough!! The service is swift and efficient, the staff soft spoken and the space extremely clean! Could not fault anything even if I wanted to!! A definite must try place!

This place is simple n good for delicious south indian Thali, the food was simple tasty, n not spicy. Was good on my aged parents n kid, they liked it n were able to digest it good. The taste was awesome, simple n the pickle n chutney/ thovaiyal was out of the world. Started with a creamy soup, sambar, rasam, thick curd, n we asked for an they din mind tat my daughter shared my thali. The people are a little slow in service, n if the place is crowded it is hard to get their attention. But, the next day when the place was less crowded they were really good. Over all, good choice for veg in Pondy, will be back next day for breakfast.

One of the best parts of our Pondicherry trip is dinner at this place.The ambiance is wonderful. We tried variety South Indian dishes like Mangalore set dosai with Vada curry, Kerala parotta, veg biryani, 3 type utthappam, idiyappam, and so on, and everything was awesome. Pricing is very low. A definite recommendable place for every tourist who visits Pondicherry.

Simple clean and unassuming place with a small menu. Ordered a thali and it was tasty and typical of sucha place. Ordered steamed rice, ghee and dal for kids and again was simple warm home kinda food so both kids had their full. Filter coffee to do nd the meal and was not disappointed. Recommended especially if you are traveling with kids and need a break from the typical French food that is so typical of Pondy nowadays.

P.S. was there for lunch and this place is big. Big as in can sit at least 50-60.

Most recommended place in Pondicherry. Our auto wala also recommended this restaurant. Though we went to this area for Cafe Xtasi but landed here. By the time we had the table we were really hungry. N to my surprise i loved the South Indian food. Somehow I didnā€™t like the South Indian food in Pondicherry but at this place the sambhar tasted good.
So we ordered one Onion Uttappam, Rawa Masala Dosa and Cheese dosa and Fresh Lime sodas.
My favourite was Rawa masala dosa.
A typical family restaurant.
If looking for good South Indian food visit this place.

I believe this is one the most famous chains in Puducherry for relishing authentic South Indian food! From dosas to wadas to various types of idlis, rice dishes to South Indian Thalis...it's your go to place! There is also an option to opt for the North Indian and continental food they offer! We ordered the South Indian Thali, which was a mƩlange of all things coconut-y and spicy. The payasam was truly authentic. All the dosas we tried - Ghee roast, rava dosa, masala dosa, Appam, Mysore Rava dosa, idlis.... nothing over here disappointed. Their Milagai podi powder chutney is to die for!

Had been here for breakfast and lunch! A best place to visit when you want to settle down your tummy's noises after enjoying in Pondicherry. We enjoyed proper South Meals in scorching heat. We enjoyed the proper Tamil Nadu style breakfast (Sambar Idly/Pongal/Vada). Must visit to soothe ur tummy while returning from Pondicherry. Family restaurant. Easily Accessible. One good thing I liked about the Management was they had arranged an option for elderly people who cannot climb up/down stairs. They have created a ramp where the person can sit and come down for the restaurant and vice versa.Food:5/5Price:5/5Ambiance:5/5Service:4/5Cleanliness:4/5Quantity:5/5

We had our breakfast here after disappointing breakfast in bakers street the previous day. Though we thought, we would stick to eating french/continental breakfast, we decided to have breakfast in surguru and the place didn't disappoint us at all! This place is a must visit if you love south indian food or if you are tired of eating continental food in Pondicherry ;) We decided to have rava dosa and onion dosa. Trust me the onion dosa was the best I ever had! They served us 3 varieties of chutneys along with sambar and were really good considering we are used to eating watery chutneys in Bangalore! The ambience here is really good including beautiful entrance and the people who serve food are polite and service is fast.

Visit Surguru for authentic South Indian food where the taste and smell of the spices and masala gives you the feel of authentic Indian food. The exquisite taste of the dishes leaves you hungry for more. For people looking for vegetarian food, this place is great. The food is cheap but the quality is not compromised.

Surguru has 4 outlets in different parts of pondicherry. Opens early and closes late. It serves a great range of south indian dishes.
Everything you would order might nothing else but just make you happy!!
Its masala dosa, idli, vada, masala tea, all were great!
We also tried cheese dosa which was nothing but a plain dosa with 2 cheese slices inside! :/

It was my Pondicherry trip with family where during lunch, we were looking for some good South-Indian restaurant and our search landed up on Surguru. Place is very approachable from MG Road or Bussy street.

Food was good and reasonably priced. The usual South-Indian thali was good. The only disappointed that I had was that we have re decided the items couple of times because staff wasn't very clear on their current available stuff.

We had made it a point to explore all famous food places in Pondicherry, and while most places disappointed, this one lived up to the hype! The ambiance was calm, and service was prompt. The lightening was yellow which irritated me a bit because I'm more accustomedĀ to white light but it's a personal preference. I ordered Rava Dosa and coffee which were quite tasty, and dosa reminded me of delicious dosas I used to eat in Chennai. It was huge and was quite filling.Ā

The best place for South Indian breakfast options in whole Pondicherry. The place is very hygienic and well maintained. The food is delicious , less oily and high quality food. We tried iddiyappam, Pongal with Wada , Poori , Masala Dosa and ended the meal in South Indian style with a coffee. Pricing wise itā€™s very reasonable, it costed around Rs 500\- for 3 people . I would recommend this place every person who wants to have authentic South Indian breakfast. You must have breakfast at least once during Pondicherry trip . Highly recommended place.

One of the best south Indian restaurants in pondicherry. Food is fresh, the ambience is authentic and service is excellent. We had our breakfast and dinner here . Mini idly , masala dosa , paalak poori we have ordered for breakfast and all were good . Their medu Vada doesn't have crisp , so we don't like it. Their filter coffee was good , however the juices were not . Kindly try taking juices outside as there are many juice cafes out serving good Juice. The next day we ordered fried rice and chilli paneer . Surprisingly both were prepared nicely . Chilli paneer was a little spicy as they put a lot of black pepper, however we forgot to mention them to make it mildly spicy. The fried rice was nice and the portion was also good šŸ‘ compared to the price . It was sufficient to share among 2 people . Their lime soda was good , but butter milk was not. Overall food is good and service is excellent. Beverages need little improvement.

I recently dined at Surguru, a delightful veg restaurant conveniently located near the market. The ambiance was a breath of fresh air, with ample greenery creating a serene atmosphere. We sampled a variety of dishes, including the Surguru special thali, Mysore Masala Dosa, onion uttapam, and Mushroom Masala. The Mushroom Masala was a standout, bursting with flavor and a definite must-try. However, the Veg Biryani was a bit of a letdown, lacking the robustness of flavors I had expected. On a positive note, the prices were reasonable, making it accessible for most diners. Surguru seems to have a strong presence in Pondicherry with multiple outlets, making it a convenient choice for vegetarians looking for a diverse menu in a pleasant setting.
