Krishna SutharSeptember 16, 2016Really good! Only place I know where you can get upma :) great change of pace from normal Indian restaurants. Recommend the beet uttapam for breakfast (they serve it until 3!).
Michael WangAugust 28, 2016Houston-based restaurant's NYC outpost. An interesting take on Indian breakfast (and lunch). Great flavors... but the portions are small while the prices are big.
Andrew CerdaJanuary 16, 2017For all the vegetarian and vegan folks out there, the meatless Monday menu is robust and delicious! The Peanut Noodles were plentiful, delicious and SPICY!
AmateurConciergeOctober 15, 2016Creative and really tasty Indian. It they really need to professionalize the management. Completely mismanaged bar and service. Space is too big for what they're trying to do.
Everything is delicious but their brunch and pastries are best. A paradise for gluten-free and/or vegan desserts!
Matthew CaldecuttFebruary 1, 2019A delicious, yet spicy breakfast. Portions are larger than they sound in the menu. So be prepared to grab a bottle of water from the front
Grace KwanJuly 31, 2016Great modern Indian cafe. The morning thali was tasty, healthy, and a great introduction to different Indian flavors. If you sit at the bar, you can watch the kitchen staff at work.
Nat EliasonJune 3, 2018Stopped in here for a drink before the sex museum, they have some very cool Indian inspired cocktails. The golden mule (Moscow mule plus turmeric) is delicious
Bernadette BaumSeptember 9, 2016As someone familiar with this sort of food, it gets 4/5 for atmosphere and 3/5 for flavor. But the bill was twice what it should have been (half of us had a cocktail) and I felt full for two days!
Nandeeta SethNovember 10, 2019Superb, healthy indian with a real understanding of spices. Sophisticated food. Not your usual heavy curry.
Alexandra D.December 13, 2019Came here last summer and loved it but now they have changed their entire menu for the winter (Dec 2019) and we didn’t enjoy any of it.... bummed as I had high hopes for this place!
Matt RosenJune 30, 2018Dope meal. Lentil chaat, lettuce wraps and dosas were awesome. Mango lassi to drink
Sri RayDecember 15, 2016Legitimate South Indian food. With good baked things as well. Upma was on point.
Living Jazz ArchiveFebruary 16, 2019The menu is always changing which is a great thing if you are a frequent visitor. New surprises all the time!
aanwarOctober 2, 2016Brunch: Beet Uttapam and a Paneer Paratha. You'll be full after eating those two!
RyanAugust 24, 2016Definitely get a Thali but you'll need more than that as they are on the small side 😋- Nas BenaliSeptember 4, 2016Really good food, lovely venue, and great service but the food is overpriced.
Ben SternSeptember 14, 2016Everything is tasty -- loved the chicken frankie and samosas. Don't leave without a cookie.
Ashley MillerNovember 22, 2017Curry hill doesn't compare. Well considered dishes in generous portions.
- Living Jazz ArchiveJanuary 13, 2018Usually not crowded, but if you are in a hurry for your curry... sit at the bar and go for the chicken or veggie dishes.
- Nandeeta SethNovember 10, 2019Superb sophisticated indian, very far from the curry glop you get elsewhere. Truly healthy and delicious.
- aanwarOctober 13, 2016Dinner: Tandoori Quail (Starter), Rancher (Dinner), Naan, Mithai Tasting, Cabernet
SaleemMay 24, 2018Nice people and place, but overrated. Food is beautifully plated but at the expense of actual taste (e.g. overly spiced wings, saag paneer wasn't cubed). Creative dishes. Good dessert
Daniel EganDecember 23, 2016This isn't traditional Indian, but modern, a bit experimental, and hip. Great service.
Pamela LiouOctober 26, 2019Food is good, but service was tricky. Had a reservation, and my first hostess tried to shunt is to the bar for the meal. I spoke with someone else and was seated at an actual table.
Breakfast options served until 3pm. Get the best uttapam!
lobatt liJanuary 10, 2020It is nic that kettlespace members get 15% off here, and I liked work from here.
- AmateurConciergeSeptember 23, 2016Hmm interesting dishes. Another push to bring the best of Indian street food to NYC
Flora ChengNovember 13, 2018Small portions, and dishes can be unexpectedly very spicy. Ask before you order!
Cole KennedyAugust 20, 2018I really wanted it to be excellent but I was disappointed by the small portion, especially relative to the cost. And the food wasn’t even that flavorful!- Ajna JaisinghaniDecember 6, 2017Rob Pratt - we would love to hear about your experience at Pondicheri.
