Vels Restaurant, Pondicherry

Our Story

VELS started as a Gourmet Fine Dining Restaurant, a Boutique Hotel and a Posh Water Hole, in Pillaiyarkuppam. Mr. M, with his Master's in Pharmacology, Founder of Pharma Companies, a Foodie, a Philanthropist and an audiophile, felt it was a long drive to Puducherry for a wholesome meal and not everyone could afford it. Despite that, there's nowhere to go to, to get a Feel of Home. For the emerging Indians of the suburbian education capital of Pillaiyarkuppam, Puducherry.

His extensive travel experience, palette for delectable food, appetite for experimenting, innovation, attention to detail and perfection, made him want more for less, for everyone. His tireless long haul journeys across The Globe and our Country for various Pharmaceutical ventures, had enhanced his palette for Great food.

His endured long drives and search across the country for various Indian dishes, made him realize that, nothing's as Good as a Home Cooked Meal. He wanted everyone to feel at Home. So he brought back a piece of Home from everywhere he travelled. It was reason enough for him to nurture his Dream and pursue his Passion.

With nothing on offer here in Pillaiyarkuppam for the Students, Industrialists, Resort Hoppers and Tourist, our Pioneer took matters into his own hands. He trawled high and low for The Best Ingredients, honing his recipes for friends and family, decided to provide everyone a piece of Home, in Pillaiyarkuppam.

He carefully crafted the menu to serve only Gourmet, Delectable, Mouthwatering, High in Flavour and Light on the stomach, uniquely crafted food. The art of making it involves a rich culinary experience, that uses a sleeve of secret recipes, blended with love, crafted with care and commitment to using only The Best chosen ingredients.

VELS is Family Food, Treat Food, Comfort Food, Weekend Food… The Best of all Foods in town for anyone, who's either on Business or on Pleasure, Passerby or a Permanent resident in Puducherry. News of his mouth-watering food made with fresh produce and home made masalas was well appreciated. He gave up his corporate job and started chasing his passion with VELS RESTAURANT.

Doctors, Engineers, Students, Industrialist, Travellers started to stop by on a regular basis to get a feel of Home. With the Unique Culinary experience that The Fine Dining Restaurant provides, where the Food stands as a Testament, since the debut in Pillaiyarkuppam from the Summer of 2003.

So here he is, excited to share his range of delectable signature dishes and his very own Indian-Spiced Food, Cocktails and Mocktails. Kick-back, Eat your food and feed your senses.!!!
