If you are in Auroville (or driving from or to Pondy in ECR just take a small 2 km diversion ) and looking for a good , simple, hygienic home like lunch. Just walk into Auroelec Cafeteria, you will not be disappointed.

Unlimited & good food for a reasonable price with option to eat outdoors

It has spacious visitor parking.The buffet includes variety rice, red rice, hot rotis, dal, fries, spinach dal curry, salads and juice.

I really loved the meal that I had at Aurelec Cafeteria, one of the many food establishments run by and for the people of Auroville, near Pondicherry. All the produce is organically grown at Aurovilles farms and served fresh in a lunch buffet between 12 to 1:30 pm. I paid around 200 for my meal. Also, a side of unlimited fruit juice. This day they were serving guava juice. 😍💖 The food is generally a mix of Indian and Western, with South Indian favourites sharing space with salads and porridge. It has a nice, green and open seating area.

Best place to have Organic Home vegetarian food..

Awesome surroundings.....having food in the lapse of nature.....organic food ..... tasty

Disappointed with the food quality ,had to reorder and cancel couple of orders. The cafe owner definitely tried his best to please us by offering the replacements and refund and I respect that but this was not expected in Auroville.

Veg food are good😊

Really nice choice of vegetarian food in a buffet setting. Sitting and eating under the cool shade of the trees. 😊🙏🏿🙏🏿

The tasty south Indian buffet meal under the Jack fruit tree shadow...ambience is nice in Auroville Village near Pondicherry

Excellent food. One can have proper Indian meal. Best options for vegetarians. Cool place to sit around and hangout. Decent prices too. Taste is good and hygiene. Large trees, green garden, outdoor tables and comfortable chairs. A family can spend best time here and friendly environment. Good service from the restaurant. Has buffet system and self service.

Formidable vegetarian buffet with generally a pretty good number of vegan options. Nice mix of local South Indian and continental dishes. Plenty of fresh leaves and veggies with assorted salad seasoned, and nice, fresh fruit juice included on the buffet.Pleasant seating outdoors behind the buffet is available.My only complaint is that they dont mark vegan dishes (though usually at least 75% are vegan) and there is often some confusion among the staff as to what is and what isnt.

Broke my disbelief, and fully vegetarian yet tasty. Last trip for lunch was a treat to my mouth and my tummy. Be there at 12 noon to enjoy the food while still hot. Most friendly staff, they will help you out if you are new. Parking was messy during rains. Plenty of room for guests and parking, Wheelchair friendly.

Excellent place with veg food. They offer buffet at 220. They do have changing menu on a daily basis. Very interactive and helpful team. The ambience is also super and very calming and welcoming. Always plan some time for the buffet to enjoy the food and the ambience. They only do breakfasts and lunch. They accept card payments also.

Vegetarian restaurant, nice surrounding but the place is bit hot

Good food good life.....

Ok

Great buffet lunch

Lot of variety in the buffet. Has the option to sit outside and enjoy a relaxing lunch or breakfast! Without any discount some people could find around 200 rupee lunch buffet a bit expensive but in my opinion its worth it !

A vert spacious compound with indoor and outdoor seating where one can enjoy a vegetarian lunch buffet. The spread includes white and brown rice, dals, freshly made rotis, crispy fries, salads with a selection of dressings, different vegetable curries, curd, unlimited quantities of some variety of juice and mint tea. The food is really tasty and the ambience is good for a relaxed lunch.There is a large parking area. The lunch buffet is priced at Rs. 220.

A fantastic place to dine. The price is generally affordable and usual customers also get special discounts on price. The vegetarian buffet lunch served here is one of my favorites. They have different menu on different days and people from different countries flock in to have a great lunch in Aurelec.

Absolutely marvelous! A hidden gem in the heart of Puducherry. It only offers breakfast and lunch buffet, is open all 7 days and limited number of items. BUT the food is absolutely delicious, simple, perfectly spiced and light. There is also a good variety of delicious salads.

Had lunch- very poor service and felt they served non Indians quicker and gave more attentionFood : ok and warm Don’t eat roti - what I was served was like plastic plate

Had lunch. Good food. Mild tastes but flavourful. They serve organic veggies and no non veg.

Hmm its ok ok. Menu can be better for the price they charge. The vicinity is filled with trees and stone structure, quite pleasant

Buffet lunch is worth to try. Also the ambiance is good.

Excellent place. extraordinary food.I went for lunch here, I was little late and it was around 2.30 PM in afternoon. The Buffet was closed, but the staff was kind enough and prepared some chappathi with curry and red rice. The food taste was very very good.I did not had chance to stay here, but I would love to stay in the place when I visit auroville again. Nature friendly place, Full of trees, Fresh air. Loved the environment.

Tasty food offering lot of variety of Indian and western food.

Greater choice than Solar Kitchen but not in the same league, is what i felt

Calm and serene. Good vegetarian fare. Need to have a lot of time to enjoy this place to the fullest. Loved the clear veg soup.

If you are in Aurovile around 1 I recommend you to have lunch hear. They have veg buffet, affordable price, organic food, good service and amazing views.
