Appachi Chettinad Cuisine Restaurant

Appachi Chettinad Cuisine is located at number 9 on Rangapillai Street in Pondicherry. We are very close to the old telephone exchange building. If you are walking around the town area, you will probably find us easily enough. We focus on Chettinad style food, which is what we know how to cook best. The restaurant isn't very large, but we have enough space for families to sit together for a meal. We use a lot of local spices and the kitchen always smells like roasted pepper and fresh curry leaves. It can get quite loud during the lunch hour when everyone comes in at once from their offices. We don't have a team of fancy chefs; it is mostly just people who have been cooking this way for their whole lives. The furniture we have is simple wood, and we don't bother with much decoration on the walls. We think the food should be the main thing people notice when they sit down. Pondicherry has a lot of different kinds of restaurants, but we just stick to what we are good at and don't worry about the rest. We see a lot of tourists who want to try something local, and we also have our regular local customers who come in every week without fail. We try to keep things consistent so the taste doesn't change from one day to the next. It is a busy life running a kitchen and managing the tables, but we enjoy seeing people finish their plates. We are just a small team.
