Souza Lobo, Goa

Goan food is one of my favorite Indian foods. Unlike the majority of India, where local specialty foods often mean vegetarian (by the way, I have nothing against vegetarian food!), Goan food is often made with "catch-of-the-day" seafood. That said, it's never going to be as good having Goan food anywhere else.

Here's a restaurant that's been around for a long, long time. It's right on Calangute beach but you have to walk through a small, sandy lane and pass a few tattoo stores before you come to the entrance of this restaurant.

Chili-fry oysters.

Souza Lobo
Fish fry - seer fish marinated and lightly pan fried.

Souza Lobo
Mutton Vindaloo. The challenge I find with taking photographs of Indian dishes is trying to capture the deliciousness in the picture, which is not easy considering many of the dishes are in gravy.

Souza Lobo
Fish Curry - one of Goa's most popular dishes. Usually eaten with rice.

  1. Not sure I know what distinguishes Goan food from other styles of Indian food. The fish and curries look delicious, by the way.
