    Great casual eatery for burgers. The burgers aren't the normal kind you get in the West but don't let that stop you from trying these juicy ones. The service was also great!

    A very cute cafe hidden well in the French streets - white town of Pondicherry. Google the way to this place and you’ll get there easily. It’s a small jazz themed cafe with classical jazz music and posters of the greats like Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. The tastes of our burgers were very very good I have to admit. Our favourite was the “nothing” burger which was so juicy and tasty. The Cajun burger is a little spicy and comparable to the New Yorker. The only reason for 3 stars is the lack of options in the menu. They accept Google pay and cash only. Great place to visit

    Quaint, little place hidden inside the white town bustle. If you're looking for burgers in Pondy - this is the go to place. They have veg and non - veg options. Burgers are delicious in both. Really authentic burgers.

    Ambience: Rustic, quiet, enjoyable. Food: We had a 1880 burger (single patti, chicken) and a Miami burger (single patti, pork) - both to go. Awesome taste. They all start from the same patti (for the chosen meat type). The establishment seems to be about 5 years old (per the person person who took my order), and they seem to have struck a burger formula that works really well.

    This is an 'only burger' place with few other options on the menu such as fries and shakes. The burgers are really good in make and taste. The ambience is a retro-studio type ambience. Service is good. The place has vegetarian and a wide variety of non-vegetarian options.

    A quirky little place which offers you absolutely delicious burgers is the best way I can talk about this place. A sure go-go. Food is on the moderate to expensive side but worth what you pay. Location wise, it’s on the street side but not out there for you to notice on a snap. Service is also good.

    It's quaint little place, with amazing bomb burgers. The quality of burger produces what the limited menu promises. The patty and the stuffing in-between the burger with friend onion and garlic is a great touch to the flavour. It's a must try if you are a burger lover. The menu is simple and promising. The cafe is in the first floor and it's pet friendly. The service is good and the people are extremely friendly. The prices are affordable

    It's a small place that feels like entering someone's home. It's old but clean. The burger was the best. The price felt a lot but after seeing the gigantic burger it felt justified.

    Quaint little place serving killer burgers. The burger bun is tasty and the meat and sauces are excellent. Bit on the costlier side but worth it.

  • 4/5 Suraj S. 7 months ago on Google • 55 reviews
    A must visit place in case you are craving for some good burgers. A small eaterie being run by a few people, the burger quality really loves up the hype, especially taking in the price as well. The eatery is on the second floor and there is ample space for parking on the road around this. Definitely a hidden gem amongst the streets of pondi.

  • 5/5 ABHi 5 months ago on Google • 55 reviews
    The best burger I ever had. So much so that we reordered online when leaving Pondi. Patty (juicy, meaty) and buns (not flaky, not messy), both are exceptional. Both the veg and non-veg options are amazing. I prefered the chicken and veg over pork though. (31.12.23)

    It’s a small cute place which serves burgers. I can promise that there burgers will blow your mind off, doesn’t matter you are a vegetarian or non vegetarian. The ambience is cherry on the cake and it’s a pet friendly cafe!

    Had to sit through a million mosquito bites but it was worth it. The burgers were great. Highly recommend going there. We ordered their Kentucky burger and one with a fried patty along with some French fries. Everything was to our liking. The Kentucky burger was just amazing. I hope the owners do something about the mosquitoes.

    Amazing burgers and drinks. We tried Kentucky veg which was yum - flavourful and spicy. New York cheese was also good. Their tender coconut milkshake was yummm! Unfortunately, their milk got over (it was kinda weird to hear that). The service could be better and warmer. The person taking our order was not that welcoming.

    Began our Pondicherry Cafe journey with Canteen18 😍 Every nook and corner had a warmth, light and love! A stack of books, plants, a burger tiffin, dim lights and a cute visitor❤️ A MUST TRY burger if you are in pondi! For vegetarians like me: totally choose the MIAMI burger, it's super HITTT. 🤗

  • 5/5 Prassanna Kumar B. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered a Canteen Classic Chicken Burger, Chili fries and Coffee Milkshake. The burger's taste was top-notch with well cooked patty. Easily one of the best places to have burgers in the Pondy. Chili fries and milkshake were okay. Milk shake was bit diluted but flavour was good. Ambience was simple and good. Overall, this is a must try spot for the burgers in the Pondy region.

    Small and cosy place with good burgers. The options are greats and the portion is great as well. If they serve fries other than nachos that would be great.

  • 5/5 poorni g. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s small cozy place and easy to miss if you don’t lookout for the board. The burgers were delicious and perfect. Kids too enjoyed the burgers very much.

  • 5/5 osama m. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely place to try and enjoy all kinds of burgers but yet like home made it India made. There is freshness and warmth in everything they serve. It is a small and cute place where if you get a chance to sit beside reception then you can have conversation with the lady there who is also co-owner of the place. The place has not many tables for big crowd but it is a like a drawing room space for few people to get together to eat and enjoy without too much noise. The ambience is clean, artistic and aesthetically soothing. And everything that you order would be made right then above on the terrace kitchen.

  • 4/5 Harikrishnan J. 1 year ago on Google
    The burger we ordered was good. Crispy patty and tasty overall but not sure why the lettuce was shredded. It should have been a big round piece. The drinks we ordered were OK. Coffee milkshake was a bit watery and the Cranberry soda was nothing special. Since the burgers tasterld good I think this is a good place to visit if you crave some burgers.

  • 4/5 Namita K. 1 year ago on Google
    Quaint restaurant with nice chill ambiance. Went here for lunch. 1880 beef burger was above average, patty was good but sauces need more balance. Excellent fries. Cold coffee was pretty good too. Gambino Veg and Miami chicken burgers were ok.. a bit too saucy. Tender coconut shake was a little sweet but good. Worth a visit if you love burgers.

  • 4/5 Shubham K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is best known for variety of non veg burger options. Its situated in an old building so you won't get that fancy ambience vibes but the taste is really good. Seating capacity is quite less here. Unique type of sauce is the main ingredient in all burgers. Must visit place for burger in pondicherry.

    The ambience, the jazz, just the overall vibe is🔥 Yet, the Miami Burger stole the show! It was that awesome ❤️ One of the best burger joints ever!

  • 5/5 Swetha N. 2 years ago on Google
    We went on a weekday when there were just a couple of people around. So enjoyed the quaint, peaceful ambience with light jazz music playing in the background. Loved the chicken burger. Patty was soft and juicy. The magical part was the buns they use for the pattie. Soft and fresh rather than the dense ones you get in other burger joints.

  • 3/5 Vasudharini A. 2 years ago on Google
    It's an old, rustic house that badly needs a coat of paint that's convinced us that this place has an authenticity to it. I was so excited to be here but then the food really didn't meet my expectations. It was bland, at least for me. But hey, Brownie points for the cute dog that always seems to sleep in the balcony.❤

  • 4/5 Sritama 2 years ago on Google
    Its a very small homely cafe. Very cozy place. I think its run by all women. Its mainly for Burgers and the burger is really good. Its so juicy. The French fries portion was less though. The decor is really awesome. How nicely they have used all abandoned old stuffs and create a whole cafe oit of it. Nicely utilised spaces and corners. The owner behaviour is also very nice. Burgers are expensive but really worth it. Highly recommended. Must go burger place in Pondicherry.

  • 5/5 Ajay S. 2 years ago on Google
    Those who love burgers, then this the best place for them. Had variety of burgers such as Mexican style.. New York style both veg and non veg available. Price is only factor , too high. But taste and quality is top notch
