Sakura Sushi Auroville — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

If you're in Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, and craving sushi, this is the place to be—the best sushi spot in town! On my recent visit with relatives, we stopped by and were absolutely delighted. If you’re a sushi enthusiast or curious to try it for the first time, I highly recommend giving this place a go.

The ambiance is nice, the food is fantastic, and the staff are friendly and helpful. If you’re unfamiliar with sushi, don’t worry—they’re happy to guide you and make recommendations. One heads-up: parking can be a bit tricky as the space is limited, so you might need to be a little patient, but it’s worth it.

For those completely new to sushi, I suggest doing a bit of homework first. Check out some videos on YouTube or read about this amazing Japanese cuisine. Sushi is not spicy like Indian food, so don’t go in expecting that—it’s a completely different experience. They also serve soup and desserts to complement their sushi offerings.

So, manage your expectations, embrace the uniqueness of sushi, and enjoy the delightful flavors this place...

I visited the restaurant twice in the single day I spent in Auroville! I have visited many cute, swoonworthy, and boujee food places but Sakura Sushi stood out the most. It's genuinely a serene experience to dine here, and the sushi made here along with the service provided by Mr. Ravi and his associates, Mr. Shankar and Mr. Ajith.

I really loved the Inside Out Rolls, alongwith the Ramen Soup with Shrimp, add to that the delicious Maki rolls that I tried! I also tried the Boba/Bubble Tea, and unlike other places it came with 2 Bubble Flavors.

The restaurant has a very cute wall with doodles/sketches/artwork by people who've previously visited. It is a sight to see and if you're in the mood to doodle or read, they also have a floor couch seating space.

The entire experience here is worth every minute spent, memory made, doodles sketched and money spent. The prices are extremely reasonable and for the service they provide, it truly elevates your...

Sakura Sushi in Auroville is a lovely little restaurant. Marked by a beautiful huge mural of a Tamil lady eating sushi, the building is easy to spot. Inside, there is a beautiful big table where you can eat and children can paint. It has a nice and friendly community vibe. Which is all thanks to the lovely group of people who are running the place.

Unfortunately, we had to catch a bus and were in a mad hurry and asked for a takeaway, so couldn’t stay and enjoy the place. Our food was prepared in a jiffy. Less than 10min for a sushi bowl and 2 sushi rolls. We also picked up a jar of pickled carrots and a lovely homemade pomegranate-rosemary sparkling drink, which will all ate on the bus. The food was so fresh, delicious, healthy, filling, and nourishing that it made our bus trip so much better. Thank you for your care and the delicious food you gave us! Wish you...
