My partner and I visited this Cafe at 10 on a Saturday. The place was completely empty as they had just opened. We ordered some almond chai, Kerala noodles, Mulagatawny soup and the Bombay Benedict. While all were decent, the Benedict was the clear standout. While I'm not always in the mood for Pondicherry's brand of Indian food, I'll definitely come back when I'm in the mood for some inventive cuisine. The service was good and the ambiance of the place was excellent.
Lovely, healthy food! Short hours - only open until 5pm. Seems kitchen will shut down early if no one is there. Don't miss out like we did the first time we came for dinner! Arriving another day at 4:30 another day was successful.
And just beautiful, peaceful setting and views through the windows.

Beautiful ambiance and setting. Quiet and classy. I could become a vegan! Food is stunningly great! Wouldn’t expect less from a James Beard nominee and local Houstonian owner/chef. Love it and will be back regularly. Hope they do cooking classes soon... Check hours - they are not an evening place (yet).
Sparkling little gem of a cafe at the entrance to the Asia Society. Don't get confused by the website listed here - I thought at first it was an error but the Cafe is indeed linked to the larger restaurant, Pondicheri, and the two share a website and some menu items. I LOVE the colours used at Pondi and the line-up of treats along the counter is almost irresistible. Very friendly and helpful staff, too.
Great spot in the Museum District for brunch or lunch. Wish they were open earlier and later, but the food, coffee, and snacks are great and I love that it's in the beautiful Texas Asia Society.
Love the selection of sweets. The chocolate olive oil cake is a must try item.
Lovely pop up museum food spot. Drinks, desserts and food are all a must after a visit to the museum.
Great iced coffee. Treat selection smaller than at the main cafe on Kirby and Westheimer.
Had breakfast here--was really impressed. Highly recommend the bombay benedict.
My first experience with Indian food and it was great!
