Goa
Portuguesa completes 16 years
The place, which has now become a landmark of Mumbai, Goa
Portuguesa , completes 16 years of its service to those who love good food,
ambience, served differently by entrepreneurial couple, Dr. Suhas Awchat & Deepa
Awchat.
Goa Portuguesa is distinctively the pioneering Mecca that introduced
the authentic Goan and Portuguese Cuisine for the Mumbaikars to relish and the person
responsible for this Dr. Suhas Awchat whose love of good, authentic food, is very serious
about maintaining the highest standards in hygiene and quality. Dr. Suhas Awchat is very
fortunate that he had aptitude and a life partner from Goa Master Chef Deepa winner of Maharashtra
Gaurav award, who supports him whole-heartedly, in this venture supervises the menu and
enjoys cooking.
Goan cuisine is an interesting mix of many cultures.
Goa Portuguesa dishes out an array of authentic Goan spread. Its Cooks are
"smuggled" (as Dr.Awchat puts it) out of Goa. The restaurant has more to offer
than just food. The ambience, atmosphere and live music all adds up to the ultimate experience.
And Awchat's Goa Portuguesa, the idea is to satiate all five sense, not just that of
taste. This means that the meal there leaves you with a sense of well being, a relaxed
state of mind, relieved of stress. There's a reason for this: Dr. Awchat is a doctor of
psychiatry and he has used his expertise to create an experience that leaves the guest
feeling good, especially the exotic food created by his Celebrity Chef wife Deepa an e-custom officer Intelligence
officer
The atmosphere at Goa Portuguesa is refreshingly unique, the facade is
created from The Viceroy Arch & gateway of Goa. A colorful rooster is precluded on the
Arch & two Portuguese soldiers salute to welcome you. Next to it are domes &
pinnacle from Mangeshi Temple.
The moment you step in you feel that you are in Goa, because the theme
décor is very naturally designed by using stained glass painting on the roofs, mirrors
with sea-waves & fishes painted on the borders to give a sea-side feeling, the arched
window panes (typical of Portuguese Churches), colorful tablemats with a ‘Goan
Soiree' cartoon painted by non other than the famous painter Mario Miranda (who is a close
pal and valuable patron too!), the aroma of the Goan Cuisine, etc.
If you are a pure vegetarian, choose from its special 100% vegetarian
menu prepared meticulously in a separate spotless all-steel kitchen and served in special
different green crockery. It's the only restaurant where its owner a pure vegetarian,
dines. For milder palates and bland food lovers there is an innovative, non-spicy menu
that is highly appreciated by Indian and Foreign guests including International
Celebrities.
Goa Portuguesa have been awarded H&FS Award for the “Best
Indian Restaurant” beating 50 restaurants including stalwarts of the industry like
Copper Chimney, Konkan Café of Taj, Khyber and Jewel of India. The New York Times gave a
glorifying review of Goa Portuguesa mentioning it as a place to visit again & again.
Goa Portuguesa has also won most prestigious “Outstanding Gourmet Restaurant”
from International Tourism Council.
