Mr. Suhas (proprieter) and his tall promises 2012-03-23
My apologies for putting in a review a bit late, but anyways ..
I along with 3 office colleagues had gone to celebrate Onam lunch last year. Apparently, the restaurant had a special Onam lunch (which later on turned to be a total rip off) at approx Rs. 500/- per plate. All four of us were Keralites and we were surprised to see that they had served more than half north indian dishes to celebrate Malayalee festival. Upon protest, the hotel manager apologised and admitted that a a new North Indian cook was recruited and he was "just learning" how to cook Kerala dishes. We remarked that what was... read more -

Dr Suhas Viva Goa 2012-03-20
The moment you step in you immediately realise that you entered a photo exhibition..
Can you beat this, a restaurant showcasing the owner in all his avatars!!!
Sigh what a pity.
Now coming to the food;
It is just a notch better than most of the Gomantak restaurants in an around Dadar. Pricing is terrible though (Very expensive and defintely not for middle class)
I expected the flavour of Goa and it was missing here.
Recommendation : Prawns Goan Curry
Worth a trip only if you have photography in mind -

Goa in Mumbai!! 2012-03-19
The moment you step in you get a feel of Goa !! Lots of firangs, beer on every table, and that aroma of typical goan food. Absolutely Loved the starters, although main course was not that finger licking as you expect it to be. Overall a good but pricey place. -

You’d like to be in Goa, then,Goa Portuguesa ,the first progeny of the successful Goan and Maharashtrian eatery in Mahim.
excellent dishes,reminds me of olden goan food,you will leave Goa Portuguesa heavier in the stomach but lighter in the wallet... -

Should I review Goa Portuguesa or Dr. Suhas? 2012-03-19
So I have been to Goa Portuguesa not once, but twice! I loved the Masala Clams and the Soul Kadi. But what I don’t admire is the bombardment of photos of Dr. Suhas (the owner of the place). You turn to the right and there he is with Salman Khan, you turn to the left and there he is posing for the shutter bugs with Kareena Kapoor. Ignoring the horrible photo touch up work, the image of him posing with a gun is most intimidating; a direct threat if you were to talk ill about the place. Nevertheless, the place has houses south Indian culinary delights. The Malabari Parothas and Chettinad Chicken are... read more -

Good and tasty food 2012-03-19
I had been Goa Portuguesa a couple of times now. Its got a very different and lively ambiance to it compared to usual restaurants in the area. The food is mouthwatering and very well presented I should add!
The first time I had been there, they had a dish with prawns cooked in some tequila based sauce served over rice; this dish was one to die for! It was just awesome.
However on my second visit I was told that the dish had been taken of the menu which was a big disappointment. However the manager was kind enough to check with the chef and they made a special exception and prepared the... read more -

A taste of Goa... 2012-03-19
Awsome place..good ambiance that tries to bring in the spirit of Goa. The food is excellent and you can really taste the flavours of Goa..maybe not exactly but Goa Portuguesa really tries its very best to match the flavours of the Goan food...its a good place for a good family meal and value for money...being Goan its nice to have a place in Mumbai that comes close to the real thing and its nice to go there sometimes when you miss Goa... -

Good place to try... 2012-03-19
Had been with friends...we went for the veg. meal as suggested. It was some curry veg with coconut. I must say...was damn tasty.....that we had to order another one. Well they should be serving butter / garlic naan as well, though they do not form part of Goan food.
Place - interior is bit messy but its okay compared to the food and service they provide. -

Flashy yet tasty 2012-03-19
Ive been here several times, and like the food very much. But what sometimes topples the cuisine is the overpowering decor, the flashy menu cards and the 'live musical entertainment'. Its also annexed to a Dakshin cuisine diner called Culture Curry, so you would get an eclectic mix of all delicious coastal savouries.
Being a Goan myself, I wouldn't say the taste is 100% authentic, but it comes close, and I would give the food an 8/10. Lately, the tariffs have shot up and I don't frequent the place as much I'd like to. But its definitely worth a visit. -
