Its a small place which is purely non vegetarian, but the food here is wonderful !
The place is clean and the staff is courteous.
They do not have packaged drinking water or any kind a beverages.
Must try : NTM meals which costs 450rs is a mixed thali. Comes with chicken gravy, chicken fry, mutton gravy , mutton fry, prawns fry , prwans curry, fish fry, fish curry, an omelet, rice, rasam, payasa, and a veg palya.
Absolutely amazing spot for breakfast.
I tried their Kothu Parotta and it was beyond perfect, also tried the egg dosa which was good too. Just a suggestion to include Coffee/ Tea in your menu.
A must must visit for a traditional breakfast when in Pondicherry. ❤️
We had Fish Lunch which was included
Rice, Fish Kolambu with Fish, Fish Fry, Puriyal, Omlet, Rasam and Butter Milk. It was nice. Worth visit. I recommend this mess for all tourists who love to eat fish.
Traditional South Indian non vegetarian experience especially breakfast. If you want to try the idly Dosa varieties with non veg side dishes this is it. Good food. Takes some time to cook and serve but worth it. You might have to wait if going on Sunday. I had the egg Dosa and idiyappam with mutton fry.
A great place to have a heavy meaty breakfast! Their boneless mutton fry and liver fry are must try. I loved every dish except Egg Podimas. Their parottas and dosais are awesome especially the variants with egg😉. I wish they serve dinner too.
This is a must visit place for all people who can eat non veg for breakfast. The place is clean and appealing. Even though it looks small when you enter, there is additional seating upstairs. The prices are very reasonable with good quantities. We ordered mutton Kari dosa, onion kalakki and an egg veechu parotta. All of it was delicious. There is no parking available.
We had the meals in this restaurant
Mutton meals and a fish meal.
The staff and manager were very kind to accommodate us as we were late for lunch hour.
Mutton thali was amazing as per my opinion.
Well cooked mutton with a good blend of spices made the meals taste so well.
Seating is comfy
Restaurant is clean
Service is fast
We were greeted with similes and that was wonderful.
Hope you find the review helpful
Delicious authentic food at Pondicherry, that’s undoubtedly “Nalla Thambi mess”. They provided food only in the Breakfast and Lunch. No dinner. Schedule your time accordingly. If you go for Lunch be there between 12:30pm to 2:00pm. If you go later you might get misses ideal foods of NTM.
We tried “Chatti soru” and “Mutton Biryani” and “Mutton chukka”.
Thookku Satti Porotta (TSP) is the signature dish here and a must-try. It has quite the quantity as it contains Porottas, Chicken & Eggs. There are mutton options also but might not be available at all times.
This restaurant may seem like it has low seating, but they actually have more seats upstairs.
Overall, a good one to visit in the area.
Very interesting menu and perfect for people who love non vegetarian. The food was so tasty and perfect. Best place to go to have a hearty meal… very good pricing and very friendly service.
In recent times, whenever I visit Pondy, it was in my wish list to do a brisk walk/Run, watch Sunrise in the Rock beach and then a heavy Non Veg Breakfast. It’s been multiple times I planned to visit but this Sunday(29th Jan) I made it.
We were around 7 people so we had a chance to taste many dishes(Thokkusatti Barotta, Idiyappam, Paya, Mutton Kari Dosai, Chicken Kari Dosai, Veechu Barotta, Brain Masala, Botti masala, Blood Poriyal, Madurai Malli Chicken and lastly finished with onion Kalakki). Some dishes tasted extraordinary. I would recommend Thookku Satti Barotta(which is sufficient for 2 persons along with 2 side dishes), Mutton Kal Dosai, Brain Masala, Veechu Barotta & idiyappam Paya.
We didn’t like Madurai Malli chicken, Kalakki and Blood poriyal.
Overall taste is good and not disappointed. Like it’s name, it’s a mess food which gives you a feel like having home food.
Note: It’s a small mess which has a seating capacity of 20 or less. So may not suit for more than group of 4.
Shared a very few pics here, didn’t take pics of all dishes.

Taste: Ordered Chicken Kari Dosa and Egg Kari Dosa with Kalaki. CHIKEN KARI DOSA have so much stuffing and taste delicious and hot. Egg dosa too was amazing. But little less pepper. Kalakki was little subtle.
Atmosphere/Service: Really great and simple with some wood words. Service is great and really kind.
Recommended for Breakfast around MG road.
Chicken Kari Dosa ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Egg Kari Dosa ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kalakki ⭐⭐⭐
Great authentic Tamil Nadu non-veg food. The food was great and so was the service. However, the place is too small and hence was a bit of hassle to find a place and also during service.
Good Day!!! I went to NTM with my Family and Friends on Sunday 11/9/22. We tried all the Verity of non veg meals, food tastes awesome and worth it for money.
Prices are also reasonable. The ambience is very nice and maintaining neet and clean. At the time we went there is no seats available, but the guys who is in billing politely handle us and take order from us prior to make it ready to serve us when we got tables. Staffs are very good. At last we come to know this hotel was handling by a Women. That's really good and all the very best to her. God bless you all.
One of the best places in Puducherry for non vegetarians to stop by and enjoy food.
Very Nice Ambience, their special recipe and varieties are just finger licking good.
Breakfast items are quite expensive otherwise a good spot to enjoy an exclusive non vegetarian meal.
If you are visiting Pondy, this should be your must visit restaurant. They provide only breakfast and lunch. No dinner service. It's a small restaurant. It's the most authentic traditional restaurant you'll find in and around pondicherry. We were group of 7 and we went around closing time, still they accomodate us and served. They mentioned that their thooku chatti parota is their special dish and we proceeded to order that. Boy, we were not disappointed. Chicken and egg thooku chatti parota was another level. We proceeded to order mutton, fish lunch and chicken and fish sides along with Kalaki. For some reason, I liked the chicken Pieces better than the mutton pieces. For Rice, Rasam was served hot to our liking. Only thing this restaurant misses is a desert. But to my understanding, adding it would miss the authenticity. Will visit this restaurant again if I'm in and around Pondy.
