Sri Anbagam Chettinadu

You can find Sri Anbagam Chettinadu at No 75, 100 Feet Road in Pondicherry. We are very close to the Education Dept in the Ellaipillaichavady area. This location is quite busy because of all the offices and shops around us. We focus on making Chettinadu style food. It involves a lot of grinding spices and slow cooking. Our kitchen gets very warm in the afternoons, but that’s where all the effort goes. We have a small dining hall with some basic furniture. It isn't a place for fine dining, but it works for people who want a quick and filling lunch. A lot of our regulars are government employees who work nearby. They come in almost every day, so we know what they like. We try to keep the prices fair so everyone can afford to eat here. My wife helps with the supervision in the kitchen while I handle the counter. We don't have a big staff, just a few local people helping out. Sometimes the service can be a bit slow when the lunch rush is at its peak. We don't have a website or any social media pages. Word of mouth from the people in Ellaipillaichavady is what keeps us going. It’s a lot of work to manage the daily shopping and cooking, but we’ve gotten used to the routine over the years. We just show up and keep the stoves going for anyone who is hungry.
