Goan food has its rich history and is greatly influenced by Portuguese culture. When in Goa make it a point to find some small eatery well-known to the locals to truly experience what this charming seaside town is all about. Ask your cabbie or a vendor for recommendations on where to eat and we bet most of them whispering ‘Mum’s Kitchen’ into your ears. This lovely popular eatery is ensconced in the lanes of cultural Panaji. Look out for it in Martins Building on Dayanand Bandodkar Street. The restaurant is open between 11 am to 11 pm.
