 The first starter was this Palak Paneer of spinach and fresh curd dumplings. I really love the watermelon carpaccio at the bottom! The baby tomatoes, fennel and watercress mayo made great toppings! And the huge dumpling itself was absolutely delicious with rich cheesy spinach flavor. Yum!

 The other starter we got was this Stuffed Calamari. We were recommended to have flatbread with the dressing, and it was such a great suggestion! The flatbread itself was very tasty with crunchy pastry top wrapping fluffy bread, and it soaked up the dressing sauce nicely without giving you a greasy feeling. Superb!

The Stuffed Calamari itself was of top notch. It was fresh and nicely cooked so that it wasn’t chewy at all. The smoked pork belly, clams and pistachio were all so enjoyable! We couldn’t stop digging in! And we were really surprised that such a flavored dish wouldn’t leave you thirsty nor greased.

 The main of Roasted Lamb Rump was relatively less impressive. The lamb rump was ordinary. But the shank potato skin with brie cheese on the side got my heart! The burnt corn and diced lamb were quite spicy indeed, probably because of the extra cumin/paprika powder.

On the whole, Pondi is a great place for a chillaxing meal on a weekend afternoon. Would love to visit again for other dishes!
