Nestled in a leafy by-lane of Mahim in Mumbai is a quaint restaurant which has gracefully stood the test of time. In fact, it’s become a landmark of sorts and has just completed twenty-five glorious years of catering to people who have an appetite for fiery Goan food.

Set-up in the late Eighties by Deepa and Suhas Awchat, Goa Portugesa celebrates it’s silver jubilee this year and the eclectic couple hosted a huge party to celebrate the milestone.

Specially invited guests were serenaded by a live band and enjoyed tucking into some of their favourite dishes which have brought them back to this eatery, time-after-time, over the years.
