A beloved Goan restaurant in Mumbai makes a comeback

Live Mint  

The first time I visit C. D’Souza’s, I am not impressed. The menu is a single page and has the expected favourites — “things people crave for” — vindaloo, cafreal, pattices, sorpotel, peas pulao, potato chops, cutlets, choris pao. I stick to basics: steak with eggs and potatoes, potato chops, prawn curry — “it is tough to find fresh catch this season”, mori ambotik — “the fish is fresh”, ros omelette, choris chilly fry, and meat chilly fry. “People from Bandra, Goregaon, Borivli come here to eat whenever they feel like relishing Goan food,” he says. A few streets away is my favourite Goan restaurant, another relic called Snow Flake, still serving wholesome Goan food.
