To be fair to the owners, I went in the off-season so obviously the place wore a deserted look and the service was below average, but acceptable. Most items on the menu were not available - no problem, I understand being off season and all. But what we ordered is another story on its own.

I would surely go back to try more dishes but am wary at the same time on what to expect. Half the items on the menu were not available. Ordered 2 phirnis but only was served as they ran out!! Ran out of the best dish on the menu - now that is just sad. I had huge expectations from this place, but they came up short, what a pity. I went in with high hopes and ended up wondering why and how can an owner of restaurant get it so wrong. Next time may be better,...

Read moreSaligoa Stories - Located at a by lane off the saligoa parra junction, a very narrow lane Hidden amist a cluster of corner shops make it a task to find. Once you get to the location what would mesmerize you is the feel of the bygone Portuguese era - a very well rescued & renovated Portuguese Mansion endowed with bells & whistles from the era, this is about the ambience but what's about the food and service one may anxiously ask, Food is mainly Hyderabadi & Goan, Little Confusing - But on speaking with the owner we understood that this family owned business had roots in Goa & Hyderabad, Food served here is Fragrant, Spicy but mildly pungent, simple components well assembled together on a plate, service is laidback, The Bartender is someone you should go see if you have a thing for some classic or uncommon innovative cocktails. Pricing is more on the higer side needs a little...
