One of the best place to have food in Pondicherry. Food is delicious and portions are sizeable. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting this place.
I enjoyed their beef steak and beef burger. The Beef Patty was so fresh and juicy. Their beef steak had an Indian taste compared to the Conti taste. It is run by an Anglo Indian who if doing this as a hobby.
After having heard great reviews, we made it to this place for dinner. Staff was very helpful. Beef burger and beef steak was fantastic.Definitely on my favourite list now. Thanks for the experience.
Must visit cafe if you are in Pondicherry and are craving for a burger. Everything here is made from scratch and it feels heavenly when you get to eat such freshly made burger. Also, economical.
Visiting to this place for the 3rd time. The restaurant has been renovated which adds to the lipsmacking food provided here. The owner cum chef was polite as always. I had ordered Chicken Steak, Fish Finger, Pepper chicken and stewed veggies. The chicken steak was soft and freshly prepared with the perfect combination of spices. The fish finger was the best that I had till date. It had a very thin yet tasty coating with fresh fish inside. The chicken fried rice was equally delicious and had good amount of chicken and eggs with right combination of salt and pepper. This place is worth visiting if you are coming to Pondicherry. It is very much pocket friendly and very good quality of food is served here.
All the items were fresh and not frozen..even cheezeballs
Visited on seeing lot of positive review.They have one of the best beef steak and burger.service was nice and the owner was humble.it is worth every penny.considering price tag this is one gem of a cafe.highly recommended for steak lovers...
Awesome place. Homely ambience, lip smacking food and a host with a personal touch. Their food is absolutely fresh. We tried fish and chips, chicken cheese sandwich, rice with prawn curry.
Great service and excellent food. The owner was a very courteous person and he recommended a few of their dishes. All of his recommendations were excellent. Especially the cold coffee. Would definitely go there again when i go to Pondicherry again.
Was there with my friend, we ordered beef roast and chicken fried rice. This restaurant is worth visiting.
Planning to hop in several times.
The place is small with ‘okay’ ambiance, but the everyother dish in the menu won’t disappoint you and the staffs are friendly. They are renowned for thier beef quality and taste. Since the steak was made of minced beef, they couldn’t serve as medium or rare. Overall worth the money and will visit again. peace and cheers.
If you are out there in Pondicherry to explore eateries, this nice small cafe is a must go. A less talked about place with a friendly decent decor, this place serves the most tastebud tingling foods. Must try out the Beef steak, properly cooked with perfect tenderness. Fish and chips is also a must go for this place.
It was almost evening and was in the hunt for a good café/snack spot. Like I always believe, most of the best foods are only found in small/hidden places. This is one such place with narrow table space and limited seating.
Being an ardent chicken lover went after the Chicken Patty Burger for the start. I was surprised to see the layers on it with great cheese and soft chicken in the middle. The oozing cheese challenged me to eat without getting my hands dirty; but, naaaa, I accepted my defeat and hugged it with both hands.
They recommended me to try out their Beef sandwich since they served the best in the town. They couldn’t have sounded any better since it was definitely the best. The ground beef didn’t make me realize that I was eating BEEF. It was spicy, juicy and with the Mint cooler, the flavours were kicking all around the mouth.
The service was courteous, but Parking could be tricky at times.
Boston Café is located at mission street, Puducherry. We visited this place for dinner, by that time we were really exhausted. Our priority was rice, so we were looking for a restaurant which serves Indian food. Then we came across Boston Café which has some good reviews. We ordered Chicken biryani, rice with nethili curry and parotta. Believe me food was delicious and it's like home cooked. Food was perfect not too oily and not too spicy. My friend The Hungry Nomads was also satisfied with the food. So like that our day ended on a great note. Restaurant was very small with hardly four to five tables.

**A SATISFYINGLY FRESH CULINARY EXPERIENCE**
Food is frankly top notch, with everything being prepared from scratch.
Items ordered for 2 persons:
• Chicken Burger - The best patty, with freshly ground chicken, veggies, cheese and mayonnaise.
• Chicken Fried Rice - Excellent again in taste and texture. Moist and can be had without any sides even.
• Mixed Hakka Noodles - Slightly thick in size with eggs, chicken, prawn and veggies. Spicy according to our liking. Overall authentic chinese.
•Pepper Prawn - Asked to be prepared dry and spicy. 1st attempt to this was slightly haywire with salt seasoning. However, the Cafe was prompt to redo the prawns and got the spice seasoning correct
• Lemon Juice (Nimbu Paani) - Refreshing.
I would have rated it a 5 star had it not been for a below par ambience. Some work could be put into changing the table linen.
In honest opinion they held on to their USP of preparing everything fresh after an order is placed by the customer. One can be rest assured of being fully satisfied with their quality of food and service.
Had gone to Pondicherry with friends
Saw Boston cafe rating of 4.6 on Zomato , so we decided to try the cafe,(went twice)
First impression was local pondi home converted to Cafe,
Then we ordered few of burgers, sandwiches and mains.
Must try Veg/Chicken burger, Egg sandwich, spanish omlette and few more
Mocktails- Mint, Grape, cold coffee were best.
The owner Mr. Fernandez is gem of person, very good and polite staff,
He suggested so many dishes(ask him for what to order) and we order and they were excellent, everything was so fresh and tasty
The quality was amazing, the price they charge are pocket friendly(very cheap) for what quality they give.
Only one suggestion of putting air conditioner.
It deserves more then 5 star rating for overall experience.
Thank you Boston house for making our food experience amazing.
Everyone must visit.

Ambience - 2.5/5
Service - 3/5
Staff Behaviour - 5/5
Food - 4.5/5
Value for money - 4.5/5
Hmm... Something does not add up! The break down of the individual aspect of the restaurant does not support the final score of 5/5!
Right?
Right?!
Right??!
Wrong! It does! The answer lies not in Mathematics, but in the owner, Mr. Fernandes.
Mr Fernandes is an industrial consultant by profession who has built a dingy little cafe as a hobby. We walked for around 30 minutes to taste the food here based on zomato rating! But the cafe was so underwhelming to look at, we almost turned around and left. But I am glad we didn't.
We were approached by this hyperactive man with more salt than pepper in his hair, eager to take our orders. That was the owner Mr. Fernandes. We chose Grape Mint Juice and Chicken Burger as our starters. And we ordered a continental platter of Fried rice, French Fries, Salad, Collared Greens and Smoked Chicken as our mains.
The grape mint juice was totally out of this world, which warranted another glass for the both of us. The burger was not the best one to look at, but it tasted great! So much so that I ate more than 30 percent of it while just wanting to take a bite! Oops!
In between the dining was talking to Mr. Fernandes. A very interesting person to have a conversation with. The way he was greeting customers led me to believe most of them were regulars in his joint. He was running around, offering seats to people, going back to the kitchen, giving updates on orders, and settling bills. While being helped by only one more pair of hands who was equally competent in the whole process.
He went down the memory lane to talk about the time he was in my birth-place in Kolkata. A time we were not even born. Walking the Dalhousie lanes to buy industrial pipes for his job. He has come a long way from there. Now he acts as the pivot for manufacturing companies, connecting buyers to the suppliers. But he could as well have been nothing other than a restauranteur and I am sure he would have been equally, if not more, successful.
The service was a bit slow for our mains. On questioning, we came to know there is not a single piece of cut vegetable in the kitchen. When an order is placed, everything is created from scratch. Everything is as fresh as the literal meaning of the word FRESH. And when it finally arrived, it was delectable.
We really enjoyed our whole dining experience here. I quote my companion, "If you come to Pondicherry and you miss this, you will miss an experience!"
He was right. You should not miss this place.
Highly recommended.
#bestfood. A small place serving food like no other outlets in pondicherry. A must visit place for all the tourist. Beat Burger, sandwich, lime and mint juice and every other item on menu. A total value for money
Food is amazing and freshly made. Feels like home food. Had spanish omelet, Egg rice, Cold coffee, mint lemon juice and many more. Although being a small place, service is very warming
Amazing place. We kept on trying different items and found everything just perfect. A must visit place in Pondicherry. Price is also very reasonable. Owners are also very polite and hospitable
Best place for having beef steak in pondicherry. Prices are cheap comparing to other local restaurant. Thier menu items are long.. should try all thier dishes
Try their full grilled chicken! You have to call a day in advance and pre order it. But that juicy, well marinated taste of heaven is sooo worth it!
This place is just awesome for the food they serve.. they will keep you waiting for a few minutes and increase your appetite but it is worth the wait... must try Chicken Pulao and Chicken Roast..

On our last day in Pondicherry, my friend and I were leafing through the internet to find some authentic soul food, when we stumbled upon this gem of a place. Boston Café is located on one of the busiest streets in Pondy, right opposite to Taka’s Pizza. Therefore, finding a parking spot could be a bit of a hassle.
We ordered steamed rice, tawa chapattis, chicken roast and prawn curry, the owner’s recommendation. It took about 15 minutes for the food to arrive at our table. The chicken roast was so good that we ordered another portion of it after devouring the first one in about five minutes. The prawn curry was spicy and tangy, a typical preparation in the coastal town of Pondy. We felt at home for the food was simple and yet soul satisfying. When we asked if they had any distinct beverage options, the owner recommended the mint cooler. It was truly refreshing for our bloated bellies.
Indeed, one can run a restaurant successfully by just serving good food. Boston café is one such example. Thank you for the lovely food and hospitality, I’ll be back for more.

Best quality food is available here.. the food is yummy.. i love the fishes here.. pocket friendly restaurant.. a great place to hang around with friends.. highly recommended..
We went there quite hungry late in morning and tried the cheese Burgers which has been delicious and sandwiches, fries and tea has been good too and people were co-operative and welcoming, surely will recommend this place for Burgers in Pondi
Ambience. Clean and no frills.
Just go there for the great and always fresh food prepared straight from the heart
Had the beef burger and wife had the veg one.
Toasted buns.
Fresh greens
Great meat and veggies Patty.
Simply assembled.
Great taste.
The proprietor then suggested some fish fingers. Fresh local fish simply breaded and fried. 5/5
The Mrs loved the homemade french fries. Though different from the packaged / macd tripple cooked version.
Very nice place... It's been a long time I wanted to visit this place, recently I craved a burger and remembered people telling me about the Boston burger... And man I have to tell you... The burger is soooooo gud... Reasonable prices, very friendly staffs, a big menu... The only thing they can work on is the ambience... Otherwise a must try place for all burger lovers out there
This is the only place in Pondicherry where we enjoyed both the food and the hospitality. As you can understand from my other reviews of Pondicherry restaurants, the experience wasn't very pleasant anywhere else. Boston cafe was an exception. The food was simple, yet delicious. The owner's kid was telling us that this place was her father's passion project and he pursued it. They have decent variety on their menu for such a tiny place and all the dishes we had were super fresh and very well prepared. If we ever visit Pondicherry again, we will definitely go back to Boston cafe.

Halal: YES
It is an easy to miss, average looking cafe with no ambience. It is purely the food that makes it awesome.
Started off with the BEEF STEAK 🥩. It is nothing like the medium-rare continental steak. On the contrary, it is a greasy, garlic loaded, very well done, Indian version of steak. Absolutely yummy!
Next up was PRAWN CURRY WITH RICE 🍛. This was the show stealer. The curry had the perfect consistency and flavor to it with enough prawns in the mix. It all went great with the rice. Absolutely Recommended for sea food lovers.
The last thing on our table was the BEEF BURGER. Not too much hulla bulla to it. A very simple preparation and pretty light, as I like it. What makes a burger great is the patty which was soft and juicy, as it should be.
We gulped all of this down with a very green and very refreshing MINT JUICE 🥤
Rating this place as 4 coz nothing tasted surprising or put of the world for me but was a very delicious meal.
Total bill: 595 which was very decent for a heavy meal with good portions.
It was in my bookmarks for long time... finally I went for my supper.....little place......but worth try for best food. I ordered
1. Prawn curry with rice....the curry was so delicious......with great flavors accompanied well with steam rice......
2. Mint juice......wow....it was simply tasty.....must try...
This is an amazing hidden gem.
Small and Cozy place with out much fancies.. just don't go by looks this is great place for you to relish you are a foodie.
The restaurant is a run by a family who are extremely generous and warm.
We ordered Chicken Friend Rice, Chicken Roast and Lime juice..
Chicken Fried Rice was very unique with Indian Twist. This is great dish with very good quantity.
Chicken Roast was cooked in Butter, it was delicious.
Food 5/5
Ambience 4/5
Service 5/5
Value for money 5/5
Overall 5/5
Boston Cafe is a very small eatery in the busy part of the White Town area. I ordered a cheese burger and I was not disappointed. I was told that they themselves make the patty and not get it from another source. I found the patty to be a little dry. But the cheese and mayo more than made up for it. I would definitely recommend this place especially for people who don't mind getting food all over their hands and mouth because the burger spills over with mayo on each bite. Not that I complain. The pricing is reasonable too.
Food: 4.5/5
Service: 5/5
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
The place has earned its name by the taste of the food which is prepared with great care and passion for cooking!
The Biriyani here is different in taste and comes as a relief compared to the conventional taste of the Ambur or Hyderabadi Biriyani. The rice grain is just rightly cooked, separable and one could feel the taste of the spices used in it. However, the beef pieces in the beef Biriyani were rather hard and not as juicy or succulent as one expects it to be. This is something the Cafe needs to take a note of and also ensure that the pieces at the bottom of the container in which the Biriyani is cooked is not burnt due to heat.
We had ordered for Chicken curry which came as a complete delightful surprise due to its taste. The thick and rich gravy tasted of the rich flavour of the masala coarsely grinded and used in it which gave a different taste and texture to the gravy. The chicken was rightly boiled and almost melted in mouth but not dropping loose from the bones.
The chicken fried rice and the noodles score a decent 3.5 on a scale of 5. The mint and lemon flavoured drink is refreshing and is rightly blended together! Overall this place deserves a visit and one must try its menu!
Service needs to be improved a bit more but is not a deterrent for not visiting this place. Few suggestions:
1. Serve water to the guests once they are seated
2. Wait time needs to be reduced once the food is ordered.
But everything said and done, kudos to the team at Boston Cafe who has done a great job to have kept the taste lingering in the mouth of its customers making them visit the place time and again!
Best chicken burger i have ever eaten in india, softest and tastiest and it actually looked like what is shown in image 😜😜😜
Nice food, little ambience but worth for every inch of food.
Nice veg cream soup
I hog here. Literally.
They serve you the yummiest sandwiches and burgers.
The menu is so vast. And the budget is sooo pocket-friendly.
I have had almost the entire menu from there.
I'll list out some of the must try:
-mixed non veg sandwich
- chicken cheese sandwich
-coffee and tea -fried rice etc etc
The chicken pulav and porrota are the only two foods that i found a bit too salty. But this place gives you such home vibes .
Boston is , no doubt, my favourite cafe in Pondicherry.
If you want to eat a lot of food without burning a hole in your pocket then this is a safe option.
Don't expect much when it comes to ambience. It's a small place with very basic interiors.
They serve a variety of cuisines. Again, don't expect authentic flavours from the continental dishes, but the local dishes were spot on. The chicken biryani was good and my sister really enjoyed the beef fry with parotta. Mint lemonade was very refreshing.
Good place to visit if you can't decide exactly what you want to eat and want a little bit of everything.
Had chicken spicy sandwich , Mixed Noodle and cheesy fries.... all were well. Sandwich & cheesy fries are extraordinarily fine. Will visit once in a week at least. Place is small , but taste is Biggggg. Keep continuing the same quality.....
Must visit place for nice food and best in price..owner is really nice..we ordered fish and it was yummy..and also try mint juice nice to have in hot weather
Extremely homely food, decently priced. The staff here was very friendly and helpful - my friend's phone had run out of charge and they were willing to charge it for us while we went for a walk. Won't forget their kindness.
The food is fresh, from veggies to the meat. The owner and staff are very friendly. Don't go by the ambience of this place, the food will keep you wanting for more.

A visit to Pondicherry without having a meal at Boston Cafe should actually be considered a sin. A family-style eatery run by a very pleasing personality, Mr. Fernandez, Boston Cafe aims to serve home style meals to the locals and tourists alike. Though the place is quite compact with a seating space for at max 16-20 people, its the food served here which makes it so special. From some delightful Indian Curries and Parottas to the Continental style Burgers and Steaks, the place makes sure it doesn't leave you out of options.
Coming to the food, I was here on multiple occasions during my stay in the city to gorge on maximum number of those wonderful dishes. From the Indian side, I tried their Chili Garlic Beef, Pepper Beef and Beef Roast with some fluffy Malabar Parottas. While the Chili Garlic Beef and Pepper Beef had a slurpy gravy, Beef Roast was one that was completely dry yet the most juicy and flavourful. All the preparations had beatifully cooked meat with a distinct flavour. The must try here would definitely be the Beef Roast.
And while you are down South, how can you miss on the regional favourite biryani. The place served me an incredible plate of Ambur Mutton Biryani, loaded with whole spices providing a hot, smoky flavour. Finish the whole plate and trust me you would be craving for more!
From the continental side I tried their Chicken Burger and the house recommended Garlic Beef Steak. Chicken Burger was unlike any other burger I had anywhere in a long time. Though it was a simple arrangement of lettuce, tomato, chicken and cheese - it was the cook on that chicken which mattered the most. The chicken patty was juicy like anything which just melted in the mouth. The Garlic Beef Steak was just as same juicy and succulent which a prominent flavour of roasted garlic. The steak came with a side serving of crispy potato fries and fresh salad.
The service was on par with the excellent food. As the place is a family run business, there weren't any service staff as such and the owner himself took care of the guest which made us even more welcome. Best part were the dish suggestions he gave which completely fell in line to what we wanted to have. All in all, one of the best and must-try place when in Pondicherry!
Very good place to dine, not so great about the interiors, but food is really delicious for the cost v pay. All the items are nice. Must try in pondy.
Being a huge fan of Biryani, it was very tough to find a decent Biryani in Pondicherry. Though there are couple of other places which offer good Biryani, this place easily serves THE BEST BIRYANI IN TOWN. Affordable price is the cherry on the top. Must try. Small place. Okay Ambience.
Delicious Good Food..The Mint Lime is must try
Burger is tasty but not so juicy..Mixed fried rice worth the money and tasty ..Beef is nicely cooked and fresh

A very nice place with nice ambience with good food. Yu have multiple choices here with amazing taste.veg balls here is the best and my favorite.
This is one of the best cafe if you want to enjoy homemade style fresh fast food.
We ordered chicken burger, sandwich, fresh lime and cold coffee, all of them were great.
We also had a chat with owner, he is super welcoming and stated that, he runs this cafe as a hobby not as a business.
Probably this is the reason why food tastes so great.
Very very very delicious food... Must taste food here.. never miss to visit here wen u be in Pondicherry..
We came here with a damn hungry stomach..
Tried : Chicken soup, Chicken steak ( Yummiest ),
Chicken burger ( lovely), Chicken spicy sandwich, Prawn chilli dry, Spanish cheese omlette ( Loved it ), and lastly mint juice ( The refresher )..
Ambience was not that good but the tasty foods made me forget about the ambience..
It's meant for pure non vegetarians😉
This place is a paràdies for foodies. Went today after reading good reviews and this place turned out much better than we expected. From outside it was small restaurant (inside someone's house) so my review is completely for food. Tried their steak, chicken burger and mint juice (must try) and it was so delicious. Probably the best food you can have at this price. Food is exceptional in terms of quantity, quality and taste. Must visit if you are in town. I am definitely gonna come back again before leaving Pondicherry.
When it comes to food, I would have definitely rated it 5 as whatever we were served had the perfect taste. One thing they could improve on is the ambience as it doesn't feel like a place worth going to from outside. Serving both, good veg and non-veg food which is almost impossible to find in white town. I would recommend to try out this place once for sure during your trip.
Very good experience.. Place was small but the food was very fresh and delicious cost is very decent but quality and quantity were both good very decent staff.. love this cafe
It is a small place. Food is great but took really long to serve. We had to wait around 45 minutes for our food. We ordered mint juice and lemon soda. Mint juice was awesome, lemon soda was too sour.
For starters we ordered beef roast, fish fry and garlic prawns. All was great except for the fish fry could have been prepared with better masala.
For main course, we got prawn curry and rice combo. It was very spicy and tasty.
Finally everything cost around 700.
A hidden beauty.. this place deserves no less than 5 stars for its choice of foods, the freshness, quality, taste as well the behaviour..we had prawn keema dosa, chicken balls, fish curry with rice, continental meals and everything was so delicious..will definitely recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Pondicherry
Boston cafe, small restaurant located in White Town, is run by a family. The owner is very courteous and grateful.
Coming to AMBIENCE, this is not a place where one would prefer to go by looking at first sight. It is a small place inside a house with 4-5 tables. But once you are in with the food on your table, you would not regret coming here.
FOOD QUALITY - This is a great place where you can have good variety and quality food without hurting your pockets. Chicken Biryani was super delicious. Sandwiches were good too. Chocolate shake could have been little better. Guess what, I had all these in less than 300 bucks.
SERVICE - Since its a small restaurant with very less crowd, it wont take much time to get the food ready to eat. The owner is very friendly and will always offer you smile whenever he is around.
I won't have found out this place if ZOMATO was not there. Highly recommendable. Go try out different types of food if you are in a group.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
To summarise,
1. This is a paradise for foodies
2. Perfect balance between the cost and quantity and quality
3. Delicacy beats that of a 7 star restaurant
4. Their top secret special ingredient is LOVE.
This place is surreal. Once you enter this place ambience wise, you would probably consider leaving immediately, but hold on for a second, wait for the owner to greet you with all the courtesy in the world. You sit down and probably ask which is your most famous dish, to which he will reply, "EVERYTHING". You might think he is being overconfident but once you have ordered one dish from his menu there's no going back. Best part about this place is you can keep eating without burning even a small hole in your wallet. In one single day I managed to eat, my best burger, best steak, best fish fingers, best fish and chips, best fried rice and best clear soup. There is even a 25 rs mint juice which is the best mint juice I have ever had so I kept ordering it. This is a place made up of passion and love by a person who is simple and humble and that's what turns this small corner of Puducherry into something really extraordinary. If you are in Pondicherry, this should be a place on your must visit list.
6/5 Rating type cafe. This place is the perfect joint for having some authentic food. The staff here is extremely curtious, they'll guide you with the menu and combos. We ordered noodles soup, one veg & one with chicken,Some grilled mix veg sandwiches and continental platter. All items were upto the mark and pricing is the best among all the restorents in Pondy. Just ambience needs to be looked upon a lil bit and an AC is must.
Guys honestly a must visit place....
In my two- day stay in Pondicherry, this is one of the very few places where I ate to my heart's content. We paid a visit there for dinner, starving, and preparing ourselves for a sumptuous meal. Just a small place with 4-5 tables around, nothing needs to be said on the ambiance front. We ordered Rice with fish curry, Chicken Biryani (which was the best of the lot) and Parottas with curry. The service was brisk. Taste wise, every item was impeccable! At no point did we feel the need to stop ordering for more items and leave. Those three items just cost us a mere 300+ bucks. Amidst a plethora of places serving Pizzas and Croissants and countless bakeries, a proper south Indian restaurant like this where you could satiate yourself with Rice items and Biryani comes as a breather. Highly recommended!
Ordered a veg club sandwich, a veg burger and french fries.
The food was pretty good. The aloo tikki was very nice and the sandwich was amazing.
The only problem I felt was that french fries weren't crispy and the burger did not have onions :(
Went here for a late lunch. The small eatery is conveniently located. The food is lip smackingly delicious. Lightly spiced yet full of flavour. We had South Indian Style Beef Roast and Chicken Curry with Rice. The beef was tender and crispy on the outside. The chicken curry was full of flavour, not too hot, not too sour either. It's pocket friendly as well.
We had been here when we were dieing of hunger, it took a while for the food to turn up..but when it did we were amazed at the taste of the food.. the best part is the freshness of the ingredients though the owner was saying about it we could actually feel the freshness . Must tries are prawn curry and white rice, beef chilly, mint lime juice... and not to miss a very friendly staff
Easily one of the top 5 restaurants in my life !
Ambience ain't great but everything else is beyond excellence !! The food here is brilliant !
If you love beef , this is the place to be !
If you love English food , this is the place to be !
Don't miss out on beef roast , chilly beef , crab burger , american club sandwich and of course, the mint cooler. We had like 8 of these :D
A must visit if in pondi!

This place has amazing customer service with amazing food. My friends and I were about to party but we didn't have glasses to pour our drinks , so we're searching for food on Zomato and we found this place and we saw the food was affordable. When I placed my order I asked him if he could get us glasses and disposable plates and on top of that we have made a request for ice and this guy brought brought the glasses and plates and went through the effort to get us ice packed in a small aluminium cover ! The person was very friendly and he really wanted us to have a good night . And the food is the best to pair with alcohol. Try the chicken 65 and chilli beef.And for the malayalis who like porrotta , they make amazing porrottas ! It was amazing. He saved our night! Unfortunately I couldn't get his name . He delivered pretty fast.
We selected this restaurant based on the reviews and ratings and we were not disappointed. This place may not look that attractive but the food and the person who runs the place is amazing.
Must try out food option if you're having a party
The phrase "Never judge a book by its cover", to me, found proof in Boston Cafe. Albeit a little small and less fancy looking, the food here left me speechless, and craving for more. I loved the hospitality with which we were met. We were recommended the best seafood dishes, and served with delicacies I did not expect. A place I comfortably recommend to seafood enthusiasts. Will definitely eat here the next time I visit Puducherry.
One of the best food experience we had in Pondy. Their service was spectacular too. Had Dosa, Fish Curry and Chicken Burger. Dosa and Fish Curry is a must try 😊
Amazing place excellent food well complimented with service
Do try their burger and sandwiches
Everything is excellent
The best part is the person who runs the place is so warm and friendly, you end up eating and spending much more than planned even though food isn’t very expensive
Only scope of improvement is the quality of meat used for the Indian chicken preparation (chicken chettinad) not that it was bad but yes there’s always scope of improvement
Despite being a busy and rainy evening, the staff was so friendly over the phone. We ordered vegetable balls, noodles & Uthappams. The food were all neat and tasty and the delivery to our hotel took less than 15mins. Highly recommend this place.
Pocket friendly. Filling. Fresh. The food is homely and nice. You can ask for customisations too. It has quite a variety available. Overall a good experience.
Mr.Lovell, the owner of this place is the best host ...we were in Pondicherry for 4 days and ordered good from here 4 times. Chinese preparations are good, fish in white sauce is awesome, tawa silver fish was too good and oh so hot. Last day he got us grilled chicken and cheese sandwiches in like flat 20 minutes .. delivered to our hotel.
One of the most satisfying eateries in Pondicherry!! The food tastes amazing & the individual components were farm fresh, the staff courteous and the price is really reasonable, which is a really good combination that they've managed to keep on till this very day. It may pass off as a basic fast food place because of the set up but the food just makes all of that trivial. My friend and I ordered a beef burger, beef sandwich and non veg clear soup. Highly recommended!!
Restaurant that makes delicious homefood taste and service is too excellent seriously i am so satisfied with this restaurant in pondicherry and a staffs are so friendly and kind enough
A very cosy place with very delicious food and very reasonably priced. Must go. The staff is also very helpful and homely. Very hygienic and must try the mint and lemon juice.
We were warmly welcomed by the owner followed by a suggestion to try their mint drink, which was indeed refreshing.Then we ordered steamed rice, chicken curry and chicken fry. You just get a very homely feel with the food and the place in itself.
Would definitely suggest one to try this place out.
A place that has to be in your list in your next and next and every visit to Pondicherry. From starters to juice to sandwich to maincourse, every dish had it unique taste and was amazing. The tomato n cheese , veg grilled sandwich were amazing and the mint juice was a delight. You can not stop at one. 😊
We had fish fingers, fish continental combo, sandwiches, mint juice, chicken curry combo....
And everything tasted fresh and yummy👍
I must say this is the best food I have had at a multi cuisine restaurant. We had Veg Balls , Veg Noodle Soup, Chicken Roast , Fish Fingers, Fried Fish as starters and to say all of them tasted great would not be an exaggeration. Then we had Crab Burger , Veg Burger , Prawn curry rice and Prawns fried rice. All of the main course was good with the Prawn Curry rice being the standout dish. The mint juice served here is a good refresher and helps you cope with otherwise medium spicy food.
The owner also was very receptive and his suggestions were indeed the standout dishes. I must say this is a must visit place for all the non veg eaters visiting puducherry
Food - 5/5
Price - 5.5/5
Ambience - 3.5/5
It is a very good and small place to have lunch or dinner. We had ordered peas curry,pan fried fish and spicy chicken sandwich. Peas curry and fish were delicious. Spicy chicken sandwich was normal. Their mint juice is also a must try since it's their speciality.
When you are in pondicherry this is the must try cafe, Amazinggggg food. Mushroom pepper is a must try item. Such a friendly owner. Loved everything about the cafe.
Best place for burgers and non veg starters. Do not judge this place by ambience. The food is heavenly. The manager/owner is extremely sweet and helpful. Do try out crab burger and prawns chilly.
Little cafe tucked in the mission street in heritage town can be easily missed amidst the other chaos on the road. They have very good burgers. I tried the chicken burger which was light on pocket and yummy. The most talked about mint juice of this cafe is a must must try. It is so so amazing and delectable you will keep wondering what all is put into it but it’ll get over by the time you come up with the ingredients list.
This place is the best to go if you're in Pondicherry.
The staff here is extremely friendly
The service is incredibly fast
The food has its best taste
The mint lime is a must.
I had the beef steak which was incredibly good as well.
A perfect lil place where one can eat delicious & lip macking food at very affordable price!
I visited this place on my solo trip and this was suggested by my friend and yes as she said the food is yumm... It was yummilicuous 😋!
I had The chicken burger which was wonderful and had awesome taste, the chicken patty was well marinated and buns were soft.
They also have a special drink made of mint which refreshes your mind and soul!
I also had chicken biryani in Pondicherry style, which was pretty good and worth waiting for it!
I'll say whenever in Pondicherry do visit this place for sure!
Amazing food!
I believe 5 star reviews are for restaurant's that make an effort at preparing the best food with what's available.
This cafe run by a small group serves amazing food.
The ambience and the overall place is just average and nothing close to a French cafe you usually find in Pondicherry.
The beef steak (₹240/-) and noodle soup (₹70/-) were the best.
The remaining food we had were also up to the mark.
So one afternoon as me and friend were about to go home, it started raining heavily with thunderstorms. And we had to crash at a place which happened to be Boston cafe. I love tea especially when it rains, so we both ordered a cup of masala chai as we were fully drenched. And trust me I didn't get that good chai anywhere in Pondy... Either it would be too milky or sometimes it was a crime to call it a tea.. I really enjoyed the tea which the young chef made and served us with her warm smile. We sat there for a long time and we starving now, so we had fish curry and rice and my friend ordered prawn curry. Surprisingly, the curry was perfectly cooked and apt for the weather served with hot steamed rice. I can tell the fish was fresh, the owner Jerry is a friendly guy. The place is small with limited seating barely for 14 people.

I don't usually give 5 stars to places, but this place didn't give us a reason to dislike something.
A places like this can not be judged by the ambiance, because the food they serve here drives you somewhere else.
We found this place on zomato, as soon as we entered this place we got a warm welcome from the owner itself. He stood up and greeted us.
He explained us about the food and how its cooked, everything here is freshly cooked and only when the order is placed. In short words, its like home food.
Coming to food, we had ordered veg balls for starters and some mint coolie that is very famous at this cafe.
The veg balls were delicious, lip smacking. They were spicy with some fresh veggies inside and served with a sweet mayo.
We drank like 4-5 mint coolie, so i don't need to describe how it was. Just refreshing.
Coming to main course we ordered paneer masala with few butter chapatis.
Trust me the masala was there hahah, it was spicy and creamy. You definitely need the mint coolie to sip with the spicy paneer masala. The food was amazingly delicious.
Coming to pricing, it does not put a dent to your pocket. The quantity served is good, the food served is delicious and at a very reasonable rate.
If you are in pondicherry, give this place a visit for sure.
If you are a foodie and love trying out new tastes, this is the place for you !
Super delicious sandwiches and burgers !
The menu will look just the ordinary, however, each and every item on that has a unique taste !
The owner is quite friendly, and will make you feel at home.
Don't get fooled by it's looks it's a small place but unlce's food is yummy. He puts in the homely touch and customizes it as per your liking:)
Ordered for continental dish , chicken sandwich and smash potatoes with roasted chicken. The taste was amazing with decent quantity. Must try restaurant
Impressive food quality and pricing. This place deserves recognition, I've ordered from here on multiple occasions and I've found the food to be consistently tasty and fresh.
An absolutely delightful lil restaurant and a must visit for its delectable beef steak. It’s run by a couple who do the customer management and cooking. Also the food is fresh so be prepared for a wait time of approx 15 - 20 mins but the wait is worth it. Had chicken biryani which was a mild biryani which I have experienced across Pondicherry and personally liked it a lot, but the highlight was the steak which melted in our mouths !
Very good. All food is prepared fresh only after your order so be mentally prepared to wait, but worth waiting . Beef balls, Beef Fry, Seeranga Samba Biriyani , Chilly fish 🐠 all were very good. Don't miss their biriyani.
Small place , which can accommodate 15-20 people. We took it away.

One of the best restaurant providing good taste and quality dishes. Burger,Sandwich and streak are all must try items here. Not too much costly, average amount only for all dishes.
The place is tucked in Mission Street. It has a quiet small, but pretty dining area. And coming to the food it was really tasty and worth the money. If you are a first timer do try their special burger combo. The waiting time for the food was around 10-15 minutes. The owners were very welcoming as well.
Extremely tasy food. Each and every bite is so delicious here.. We ordered Mushroom cream soup, special burger and Chiken steak.. Pura Paisa vasuli hua😀..It is worth your time and money.. Must visit cafe in pondy. Nice ambience and people..😍😊
Visited this cafe to celebrate my Wife's Birthday and ended up in tasting finger licking gooooood food.
Below are the items we ordered.
Soup: Veg Cream(80 Rs)
Starters: Cheese Balls(170 Rs), Paneer Fingers(150 Rs), Prawn Pepper(250 Rs), Chilly Beef(180 Rs)
Main Course: Chicken Steak(280 Rs), Beef Biriyani(160 Rs), Chicken n Veg Pulao(160/100 Rs), Boston Special Chicken Burger(160 Rs)
Drinks: Cold Coffee, Lassi
All the items mentioned above are top notch. Meats are so fresh, juicy and tender. I came to know from my friend that they will start preparing each n every food(except Biriyanis/Pulao) only after we place an order. Hence each order will take 20 to 25 minutes of preparation time. To avoid this, you can call the Owner cum Chef, preorder your food and get it served on time.
Tried their Beef Biriyani and Sandwich. Loved the taste. Sandwich was melting in mouth 😍. By the time writing this review i was tempted to try their briyani now.
Cons: place was small
visited the place for beef balls and beef roast. food was very tasty and sufficient quantity for the rate. value for money. they do not have delivery so have to dine in or take away.

**A SATISFYINGLY FRESH CULINARY EXPERIENCE**
Food is frankly top notch, with everything being prepared from scratch.
Items ordered for 2 persons:
• Chicken Burger - The best patty, with freshly ground chicken, veggies, cheese and mayonnaise.
• Chicken Fried Rice - Excellent again in taste and texture. Moist and can be had without any sides even.
• Mixed Hakka Noodles - Slightly thick in size with eggs, chicken, prawn and veggies. Spicy according to our liking. Overall authentic chinese.
•Pepper Prawn - Asked to be prepared dry and spicy. 1st attempt to this was slightly haywire with salt seasoning. However, the Cafe was prompt to redo the prawns and got the spice seasoning correct
• Lemon Juice (Nimbu Paani) - Refreshing.
I would have rated it a 5 star had it not been for a below par ambience. Some work could be put into changing the table linen.
In honest opinion they held on to their USP of preparing everything fresh after an order is placed by the customer. One can be rest assured of being fully satisfied with their quality of food and service.
Boston Café is located at mission street, Puducherry. We visited this place for dinner, by that time we were really exhausted. Our priority was rice, so we were looking for a restaurant which serves Indian food. Then we came across Boston Café which has some good reviews. We ordered chicken biryani, rice with nethili curry and parotta. Believe me food was delicious, it's like home cooked. Food was great, not too spicy and not too oily. My friend was also satisfied with the food. So like that our day ended on a great note. Restaurant was very small with hardly four to five tables.
Food items are good here and the taste is also fine.
Payment by cash,card,and paytm too.
Maximum waiting time will be approx. 20 minutes.
Service and people are good around here.
The place is good for 20 members and table sitting can be provided for at most 5 as a group.
Party hall also available for a small party accommodating around 30 members.
This is a very small dining place that could seat very less number of people, but the food here is unbelievably tasty. The host was such a nice gentleman. We had one chicken biryani, beef burger, beef sandwich and veg club sandwich and then juiced up with mint lime. Each and every item were freshly made and so please wait patiently until your food is prepared. The wait is really worth it. The chicken biryani was really good and the beef burgers were truly amazing. The beef sandwich was so soft and just melted in the mouth. The veg club sandwich was also good.
The host was very friendly and treated us like his own family guests. Really worth the visit to this place. Looking forward to visit again.
One of those cute little cozy food joints in the city. The beef chilly is a must try. You'll also get some delicious sandwich. For vegetarians however the options are few but you can definately go for it.
A small restaurant located along Mission Street. It's hard to locate without the help of google maps. The place however serves such amazing food! The owner is a friendly personality who greets you personally and makes sure you are satisfied with the dishes served. The mint juice served as per the owners suggestion was so soothing after spending some time by the beach under the scorching sun.The beef steak and fish manchurian was delightful and filling. It's a must visit when visiting Pondy.
You can't describe the delicacy this place offers in words. I am still in awe as to how they managed to hit bullseye with every single dish over a variety of cuisine. When asked the owner answered, "We cook every dish with love". Never have I ever came across which offers a perfect balance between price, quantity and taste. Me and mt friends kept ordering one dish after another. Steak, burger, soup, biriyani, fried rice, fish finger even the mint lime juice was absolutely delicious. 5 people were given a treat of a lifetime with quantity matching that of a buffet and the cost you ask? ONLY 1400. I asked my friends to pinch me. If you are in Pondicherry and you don't visit this place then your visit is incomplete. Enough said.
This place is awesome. I tried veg options here and all are really good. I tried burger & sandwich and both are really yummy. The best item for me was 'gobi Manchurian dry' , which was spicy and the best that I had in the last 2 yrs in TN. One more nice thing is all items are freshly made as per the order, so they serve little slow. The owner is quite courteous and the place is small but maintained clean and tidy. This place quite lives upto the hype and I strongly recommend to give it a try. Last but not least, the prices and quite reasonable.
Note : They accept gpay, paytm, cash and no cards.
