Lady Lucky Rai...

When we saw the menu we went prepared. For starters, we skipped breakfast. And then to further whet our appetite we went late.

But we were greeted by our hosts and a tiny glass of water. Aromatic summer-relieving brownish water that is infused with lemon elaichi and jaggery.

That is Panakkam. Right off the bat, we got the merest sense of what’s in store in terms of flavour harmony. For indeed that is what one wholeheartedly receives at the Sapaddu Sunday Tamil lunch pop up.

We sat down as the smooth green of the banana leaf received the initial offerings of podi , coconut chutney, banana chips and pickle. Munch away people.

Then came the mountains of soft light Matta rice topped with the outrageously marvellous sambar. A reverential silence fell upon us. It was a meditative meal and a veritable symphony of sensory inputs. With the rhythm of serving, the melody of Thyagaraja from non-premium Spotify and the harmony of flavours just exploding in your mouth.

Take the Chettinad Kara Kozhumbu for insantce. Spicy brinjal in tamarind curry. Take the Kozhumbu - again.

The servings are small to fit in alongside the other items. And so we felt oh this is easy. Little did we know...

Towards the end it was difficult to finish the perfectly cooling and spiced curd rice. And then one has to make space and some time for the tender coconut payasam with cashews and raisins.

By now we had adjusted our belts and gently slipped into a comfortable coma. We praised the cooks, the hosts, the abundance of nature and finally the genius of those who came up with these inspired inventions. Never again can you complain of a boring...

From their pop-ups to a full fledged south Indian cafe, This one is truly a hidden gem! We couldn’t stop ourselves from heading out every day for breakfast here and were also glad to attend a Sunday popup for a week that we were in Goa!

1. The interiors, the tables and chairs, plus the inside baithak sitting to the bathrooms, the wash basin area, the fresh smell of incense sticks and the music all of them transform you to a South Indian home which is a wholesome vibe!
2. Although pets weren’t allowed since it’s indoors, but then since ours was very friendly, they found us spot comfortable for us as well as the others keeping safety and cleanliness in mind. Also there’s a huge verandah outside where I’m sure one can keep their pets tied on leash, Would suggest you’ll to check with them before hand.
3. Coming to the most important bit, which is food - absolutely the best south Indian food I’ve tasted in entire goa, leaving behind all the cliche places. The sambar, Matta Rice, their pop up menu, the Ragi Podi Dosa, Uttam Platter and Thatte Idli are just tooo good! Also the coconut punch is a must try!
4. The entire team with no F&B experience earlier whatsoever have really done a great job especially with the ambience, the entire vibe, the serving and the FOOD! The whole team is so welcoming that it became our home in the mornings for breakfast :))

Must Must Visit for a homely South Indian experience if you’re here...
