Clouds Roof Top Restaurant

Soorya Beach Resort is where we are located. You can find us on the East Coast Road in Periya Mudaliar Chavadi. This is the main path to Auroville from Pondicherry. We are situated right on the roof of the building. Looking out, you can see the sea clearly. A strong breeze usually blows through the tables. Boomaiyar Palayam is the local village right near us. Many people visiting Auroville stop by here. They come up to the rooftop to escape the ground-level heat. Climbing the stairs is a bit of a workout. We set the tables up specifically to catch the wind. It is not a fancy establishment. Our furniture is just regular stuff that survives the salt air. Being so close to the ocean means things rust very quickly. Wiping down tables is a constant chore for the staff. Pondicherry is usually very hot, so the evening time is when we are busiest. We serve food and drinks while customers watch the water. Once it gets dark, we turn on some basic lights. The menu is kept small. We only make things that the kitchen downstairs can handle easily. Resort guests are up here often. It is a simple rooftop without any special features. We just enjoy the view ourselves. If you drive on the East Coast Road, look for the Auroville turnoff. It is a decent spot to sit. Music stays low.
