Villa Shanti - Puducherry

Best place to eat in Pondicherry. Hands down. Portion size is decent so eat first then order otherwise won't be able to finish. Had the mocktails. Ambience, smoking room etc. Next level. Has 15 rooms also..

I made a reservation online and when I arrived they said the online reservations are no longer accepted. Only email and phone based reservations are accepted. However they still accommodated us. 4/10 on all aspects of the food. Food looked good tasted just ok. Disappointed as I had high hopes for this place. Service was good.

A very rustic but contemporary setting, good food and spacious sitting. A little on the higher end in terms of costing. But the colonial setup makes it worthy.

We stayed at Villa Shanti for a night and had a meal here as well. On the stay front, the staff is lovely- warm, friendly and helpful. You truly feel welcome. The room was very comfortable with the necessary amenities. On the meal front, the restaurant has a wonderful ambience and even better food! I’m very picky about the fish I eat and this fish tikka was super fresh. The desserts were great- especially the orange and almond cake with chocolate mousse.

We dined at Villa Shanti the ambience was amazing , food options was good and adequate can be a bit humid outside they have air conditioning too ! The food was nice with good selection of beverages . The restaurant has an old world charm but recently furnished ! Overall good experience and not to be missed while in pondicherry Prices are a bit on the expensive side as compared to other restaurants nearby but worth it for a try
