| Pondicheri is chef/owner Anita Jaisinghani’s more casual concept to her Indika restaurant. This sleek eatery, with its concrete floor and bold fabric touches, offers classic Indian home-style and street food made with Texas ingredients. Open from “sun to moon” daily, Pondicheri---in the multi-use West Ave---gets a trendy and sometimes loud crowd at dinner. While entrées like the shrimp and asparagus in a south Indian curry are fine, we suggest ordering multiple appetizers for table sharing. Try the Pondicherry oysters, baked with coconut, mustard and green chile, or chicken kebabs with green masala. Several of these small dishes, some rice and naan, a little wine and the sweet mango ice cream make more than a meal. We also recommend the counter-service breakfast, with such items as a fried egg and spicy beef keema. Residents and shoppers cruising in and out for takeout coffees, cookies from the bake shop and frankies---roti wraps stuffed with chicken, beef and vegetarian masala---keep this place hopping all day. |
