Customer Reviews
The food here is really amazing. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. The owner makes all the spice blends, sauces, and seasonings from scratch, and it really shows in the flavor. He is passionate about what he does and cares a lot about quality and staying true to the food. It’s rare to find a place with this much heart and attention to detail. Food prepared with clean ingredients and authentic recipes. Highly recommend!
My dosa was good. Although I was surprised at the small amount filling inside. But overall I was happy with the food. Note, they don't sell beer or wine yet, but they're cool about letting you bring your own inside & no corkage fee. 👍
First time coming here after the place opened. The staff and owner are very friendly and helpful. I ordered the butter masala, which was excellent and despite a small-ish potion, it was filling. I appreciated the owner telling us about their handmade spices and Michelin star style cooking, making everything from scratch. A couple pointers to improve the atmosphere and overall experience: - Replace the AI art with real art (though the giraffe was quite charming) - Keep the storage shelf in the men’s closed, it gave me an odd feeling - Either lower the tables or replace the chairs, the tables are a little too tall - The velvet chairs are comfortable, but I think they’ll get stained easily Congratulations on your opening!
I recently visited Pochys for the second time, and it did not disappoint! This time, I tried their Chicken Tenali Kura Roll and Curry, and both were absolutely outstanding. The flavors were rich and vibrant, and the dishes had that comforting, home-cooked quality—like something my mom would make. It’s clear that they use fresh, quality ingredients and take a lot of care in their preparation. What really sets Pochys apart, though, is the owner. He’s incredibly kind and generous, making sure every guest feels welcomed and well taken care of. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days, and it really adds to the overall experience. I truly wish Pochys continued success because it deserves to thrive. I’ll definitely be back soon to try more of their amazing dishes! Highly recommend
Wow is an understatement! This concept really intrigued me and I'm so happy we gave Pochys a try! Had the opportunity to connect with the owner when we visited and his passion and mission were undeniable. He told us all of the masalas (spice blends) were roasted and blended in house, something that truly makes a difference. The food was amazing, extremely flavorful and fresh; you can tell it's made upon order because everything comes out piping hot! My favorite was the chicken Kathi/rolls which were bursting with flavor and the texture of the chicken was fall apart. Everything we tried was delicious and we will definitely be back! PS: they are dog friendly and also have an outdoor patio.
