My 2c on the various dishes (and amateur pics before @DaveCook adds his professional ones!)
Appetizers:
Lulas / Squid – Good flavor, but unfortunately the squid was overcooked and rubbery.
.
Mantecato Cod / Balchao Toasts – I LOVE balchao, and this was a fun and tasty take on it
— I forgot to take a picture!
Sardines Masala Fry – Spicing was very good, but they were hard to eat
.
Feijoada / Goan (Blood) Sausage – I’ve only eaten this cooked with potato to soak up the flavors, but the beans worked well. They served us pao / bread rolls with this which was also good to offset the intense flavor.
.
Mains:
Fish Amot Tik – Not what I was expecting (Ambot Tik is usually a thin, sour curry) but was very similar in flavor and texture to Balchao, which I love, so this was one of my favorite dishes
.
Alambe Xacuti / Mushrooms – Unusual both in that it was green Xacuti and in that it was offered vegetarian. Xacuti might be one of my death row dishes and this was a stellar one. My other favorite.
.
Remo’s Pork Ribs “Aad Maas” – Excellent, and a lot more quantity than we were expecting (but we didn’t leave any, that would have been wasteful!)
.
Lamb Chop Bafado – Excellent (but probably the least “Goan” in flavor profile for me). I love when there are potatoes added to dishes like this to soak up the flavors and complement the sauce.
.
Sides:
Malabar Paratha — What you’d expect (I’d guess these are frozen ones that are reheated / griddled in-house, would make sense)
.
Coconut Rice — Excellent.
.
Dessert:
Fig Ice Cream - figs are not my thing, but this was not overly figgy (read: good!)
.
Baath / Batica / Baatka – Reported on the Baking thread.
