I discovered this small cafe accidentally and bought the most amazing Goanese fish rolls and tea! The tea tasted heavenly. I then ended up buying their boxed meal (biriyani) and stuffed bread with Goanese coconut chutney. Prices are very reasonable and food is fresh, but, everything is takeaway because it's a small cafe inside a tiny conglomeration of shops.
