Cleanliness: 5 stars. The restaurant was very clean. Food: Absolute 5 stars. The food was extraordinary. We had ordered a cashew uttappam, ghee podi uttappam, sambar vada, coffee and a blueberry goli soda. The cashew uttappam was scrumptious. As soon as you bite into it, you get the taste of ghee and you also get bits of cashews in your mouth. The feeling is very unique. Overall, one of the best places to hang out in Puducherry ( Pondicherry ) and would highly recommend when you are in Puducherry.

This place serves the most authentic idli and sambhar in the traditional way on banana leaves. The service is speedy and the taste is also good. No fancy ambience but the taste is marvellous. We went for early morning breakfast at 7 and they were ready to serve. The prices are so reasonable. This is another pure veg restaurant in Pondicherry which serves one of the best south indian food. You won’t have to wait long for food.

It's decent, affordable and serves pure veg. Tried their uttappam and vada sambar. Vada was crisp from ouside and soft inside. The sambar tasted really good. Uttappam could have been better. It was served with sambar and 2 types of chutneys. Was very filling. PS: Don't expect any great ambience of cafes. It is a basic restaurant with decent veg food.

Shri murugan cafe Amazing place for South Indian food and cuisine They are incredibly authentic and even serve their food in banana leafs. They serve Dosa with chutney. The chutney is soft and creamy. It engulfs your mouth with deliciousness as it’s crafted with delicacy. Finally, the show stopper was the cashew nut uttapam. It tasted divine and heavenly. Smothered with rich ghee and cooked to perfect crispness. It was heavenly and god like. Top off this buttery and crispy uttapam with a chill yet sour blueberry goli soda. Overall, many vegetarian options available and incredibly delicious.

Pros - fine taste, quick preparation, good cleanliness and dedicated hand wash area Cons- terrible waiting staff and equally rude owner. The moment i entered instead of any greetings the first thing i was told was they only accept cash. Once the order is served the waiter keeps standing on top of your head pushing you to order more. The place in itself is overpriced where you should expect to pay rs.150 for an uttapam. In short, overrated and overhyped place, please avoid it

I liked how they serve everything on a banana leaf, loved their Pongal, Onion Ghee Pudi Uthappam, Cashew Uthappam and Vada, could taste the ghee in every bite. Veg omlette was decent enough, definitely one of the best breakfast places in Pondi

Best Uttapam can be found here...Go for Cashew Uttapam it's cost Rs 150 but it's worth the price the Sambar and Chutney are unlimited the Uttapam is made of Ghee and Cashews in Every Bite you will get a Cashew. You can also try thier Goti Sodas

Good place to have vegetarian food in the middle of the city. They have a variety of options available in both South and North Indian food. I tried their famous cashew uttapam and special menu dish of the day that is paneer butter masala dosa. Dosa was too good. Uttapam was good and the taste is quite different from normal uttapam but it is a little bit oily that can be a bit of concern for health conscious people. But it is worth a try.

It's definitely worth the hype. Their ghee cashew uttapam felt like heaven. We had masala dosa, uttapam, Pongal, and filter coffee. Everything was brilliant. Also, the serving of food on banana leaves takes the experience to a whole new level.

Great place to try South Indian veg breakfast options, would definitely recommend trying vada curry here it’s tasty and goes well with all the food. They do have veg omelette, I haven’t tried them but please do try this place if you are in Pondi and want to experience South Indian food.

Must Try when you visit Pondicherry! Kaju Uttapa must try.... Coffee also very Good... I have given 5 star because of cleanliness and Fast service and tasty delicious food. They have 2 wheeler parking also.

We went to this place for breakfast after seeing google reviews during our pondicherry visit and I should say no regret of our decision. This place serves you everything in banana leaf in a typical south Indian style. We ordered cashew uttapam (which is their speciality), ghee podi uttapam and Vada sambhar. Cashew uttapam was incredibly delecious and crisp. They serve cashew dosa with 2 chutneys and powdered Vada dipped in sambhar. Ghee podi uttapam sprinkled with full podi on it and roasted with pure ghee was just jaw dropping. Vada sambar was ok. We loved blue berry goli soda.Cafe is Clean and hygiene. This is the place if you want to experience new varieties of dosas when you are in pondicherry

Sri murugan cafe is well known for its authenticity of south indian cuisine. It is a great place for breakfast. Huge variety available. It is a busy place and suggest to plan 30 min extra for all the waiting if you are going in peak time. It is also in market area so parking would be difficult and can park your four wheelers in adjacent Streets wherever space is available. Two wheeler parking is available below the restaurant itself. kaju ghee uthappam is a must try dish. Service was very good and polite. Dishes were served hot and quick even when there was considerable amount of crowd. So an extraordinary place for food especially breakfast if you are looking for authentic south indian food. Small onion dosa which is also a must try was told that it is available only in the evening. so one can plan for that accordingly. Famous KBS cafe is also nearby this place( adjacent street) in case you want to visit that also.

This is one of the most popular places to have South Indian meal in Pondicherry. The food is decent, but the staff looks in a hurry despite the place being spacious and not fully occupied. I would recommend going for the regular stuff like Vada and Dosa (unfortunately not in the pics I have), and not any other experimental stuff.

Amazing atmosphere. Amazing food. Specially Cashew utthapam and vadacurry. Idli, vada, dosa everything is yummy. Good service. Went there twice infact because i liled it so much.

Nice Place for Veg lovers. Delicious food with Good Service and Reasonable rates.Very pleasing and Nice ambience. Recommended.

Very good things is, in that busy street you have 2 wheeler parking in the basement. Not a big one but manageable. Taste and cost is ok. Vegetable omlet is available but average in taste. Washbasin for kids is also available. Restroom is in first floor , just ok.

Best thing was Sambar and Chatni. Dosa was top notch. Kaju onion uthappa was okayish.

A perfect breakfast South Indian cafe in Pondicherry! This place is a must visit if you want to taste Tamil South Indian food. I had the Idli Wada, Ghee roast Dosa, Kaju Utappam. All are recommended. The taste was amazing. The place is clean and good to sit. Reservation Availability - No Waiting period - Under 15 minutes Taste - 5/5 Service timing - 5/5 Hospitality - 4/5. Staff doesn't understand English or Hindi Ambience - 5/5 Cleaniness - 4/5 Washroom Cleaniness - No washroom Worth for Money - 5/5

Amazing option to have a quick breakfast before your travelling iternary.

I tried veg meals for lunch. They mentioned limited meals. But l, we can get unlimited rice. All items in the meals were really good. Best service. Must try for meals lover. They fill your tummy with their taste

Wow! What a place to have morning breakfast and lunch…delicious idly and dosa varieties! Lunch was very adequate and tasty for 100Rs. Any day better than many other expensive hotels…courteous staff win the show with good food…

It's one of the iconic Veg Hotel available in the prime location of Pondicherry. Its a pure Veg hotel. There are 15+ varieties of Dose, 5+ varieties of Idli, vada and many more south Indian dishes. There coffee is the best. Speciality of this place is that all dishes are served on banana leaves. Every item is served with coconut chutney, tomato chutney and sambar.

Loved their Ghee Roast Cashew Uttappam with Vada curry. The soft, fluffy, ghee roasted uttappam bursts with flavor, while the roasted cashews add a delightful texture. The chutneys on the side are also very tasty.

Murugan cafe was one of our favorite for lunch (meals), previously they had this restaurant in small place in a old residential ambiance. Great atmosphere with really nice people, the staff also worked as a team in bringing and suggesting good food. Overall the food was fresh and awesome.
