About

Pondicheri pairs modern Indian cooking with Mumbai street-food influences, including thalis, dosas and a Bake Lab upstairs with coffee and baked goods. Clearly marked vegan choices include a vegan kebab burger with jackfruit and mushroom, and reviews describe counter ordering, a balcony patio and a menu broad enough for mixed-diet groups.
