While on a visit to Portugal we found this gem by walking by and smelling and seeing the food. It…read morelooked and smelled so good. After an amazing day exploring Cascais I couldn't leave without eating here. We order the three sauces , house wine, mushroom pilau rice and lamb curry. The service was wonderful. Each dish had so much flavor , you can tell it was prepared with great love and tradition. I hope you get to experience it. The decor , the menu itself is beautiful, every detail is exquisite.

This place had quite a few tripadvisor awards which drew us in for a quick lunch. They have a vast…read moreselection of menu items, which is enough for any palate. Here's the rundown of the food we ordered: - Butter chicken: every place you go to will prepare it differently, and this place was heavy on the cream, butter, cashews, and earthy spices as opposed to hot spices - Mixed tandoori: meat was cooked well and was tender - it was falling off the bone - Garlic / plain naan: both were great, this was honestly my favourite part as the naan was very fluffy and perfectly cooked - Rice: plain basmati rice, nothing out of the ordinary Overall would say this is a very solid spot, worth checking out. The food was good, however the spice level was extremely mild, even for the spicy versions - it would've been great if they added a bit more heat to their dishes.

The tandoori chicken was really good ( just beware that the four pieces you get are all very small) still as part of the lunch special it was a filling meal. We also had chicken tikka masala. The waiter checked if we wanted cream and also the spice level. We opted for yes on the cream and no on spiciness - I think I would have been better otherwise but I appreciate that they asked and gave us what we ordered.

The flavors are spot on. The food is freshly prepared. The ambiance is nice, but it's a bit tucked away and difficult to find, if you don't follow their signs. A really added bonus, is they don't close after lunch hours like the rest of the Portuguese restaurants around the area. So, if you're tired of walking all the palaces, this is a nice place to put your feet up.

Great service and great food from this unassuming little restaurant in Lisbon Portugal…read more My family loves finding little "hole in the wall" restaurants where you can talk to the owner and they are more like a family kitchen than a "bring them in and crank them out" restaurant. This little place hits the mark with a charming Fatima as our hostess. We had a variety of dishes, all of them very good, including: Garlic naan Cheese naan Rice with cardamom Fried rice with egg Chicken Lamb Tikka Butter Chicken Chicken Wings (can't remember what it was called) And a Portuguese house red wine that was hearty and flavorful. We had a nice dinner there sitting outside (see Apple Maps street view) and watched people while relaxing. 29€

And the server explained and checked every dish that we could order. He even came up with an off-the-menu dish to meet the restrictions as most dishes were too spicy. We got: Papadh - freshly fried and served with tamarind sauce, mint chutney, and mango chutney. We ordered 2 to share amongst the 4 of us and it was perfect. Palak paneer - soft house made paneer cheese with a delicious spinach sauce. Perfectly spiced and generous portions. Lamb shishi - tender pieces of boneless lamb pieces in a sweet cashew/almond sauce. Mildly spiced, but still a ton of flavor. It's similiar to lamb korma but with a hint of sweetness. If you don't like spice but still want the complex Indian flavors, this is the dish for you. mango shrimp - big pieces of shrimp swimming in a warm and well spiced mango puree sauce. It's different than how I'd imagine mango shrimp, but it was still tasty and had a nice balance between sweet and salty. This was the dish the server modified to meet our gluten-free, spice-free, and dairy free needs. We chose to sit outside in the back alley and it was small side street with a partial view of the ocean. A few pedestrians walked by, but it was still a lovely spot. After our meal, it started pouring and the roads flooded quickly. The restaurant wasn't too busy, so they encouraged us wait inside till the rain stopped. Great hospitality

We started with paneer tikka and chicken tikka--both came in generous portions and were freshly made. The chutneys paired really well and added to the overall flavor. We also had a bottle of Piano red wine, which surprisingly worked quite nicely with the food. For the main course, everything was delicious. Standouts for us were the butter chicken, palak paneer, biryani, prawn curry, and garlic naan. The food tasted very fresh and well prepared, and you could tell care went into each dish. Service was fast despite the size of our group, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, everyone had a good time--especially the kids. Overall, a very enjoyable meal with great food and warm hospitality. Would definitely recommend for both small and large groups!

The chai was also quite good and in a really cute pot. One thing that could have made it better though is if the pot had better insulation, the tea got cold really quick.
