Hotel Madurai Veedu

The restaurant is designed with an Egyptian aesthetic, and this theme carries through to the menu, making it quite unique in India. It’s located on the ‘beach’ road of White Town, meaning you can reach the sea in just about 3 minutes from the restaurant. It’s also the only pet-friendly restaurant we found that actually provided a feeding bowl for my dogs — a thoughtful touch. Service was excellent; the staff even moved a few large fans to make our seating more comfortable. The food was a solid 4/5 — enjoyable, but with a little room for improvement.

I recently visited THE SPOT Café on Beach House Road in Pondicherry, and overall, it was a pleasant experience with a few points worth noting. The location is great, offering a nice and relaxing atmosphere. The ambience is warm, inviting, and well-designed, making it a good spot to unwind. In terms of food and drinks, the Guava Spicy Mocktail was a refreshing choice with just the right kick of spice, while the Orange Juice tasted fresh and well-balanced. Among the dishes, the Chicken Grill stood out for its smoky aroma and tender, juicy texture. The Fish Curry was also impressive—flavorful, rich, and cooked to perfection, capturing the local coastal taste beautifully. However, the prices felt slightly on the higher side compared to portion sizes. Another aspect that could improve the experience is the smoking area. Currently, the smoke from the designated zone drifts into the main seating space, which can be uncomfortable for non-smokers. Placing the smoking zone a little farther away would make the ambience much more enjoyable for everyone. Overall, THE SPOT Café has great food, lovely ambience, and good service, and with a few tweaks, it could be even better.

One of the best restaurant and bar near the beach. Staff is humble and obeying. I love the atmosphere and cleanliness. Food is great👏. Best cocktails they serve. Highly recommended. Kids friendly. The shop brand is available inside. Can shop, eat and drink love it. ❤
