What do you expect to find when you walk into a Goan restaurant?
Fish curry rice? Recheado? Xacuti? Cafreal?
Or… fried rice, butter chicken and paneer tikka? 😅
In this episode of Tête-à-Tea, Odette Mascarenhas and I have a rather fun conversation about the dishes we would rather NOT see taking over the menu of a restaurant that calls itself Goan.
But this isn't about saying Goan food should never evolve. In fact, that's where the conversation gets interesting.
Where does adaptation end and identity begin?
Can a Goan restaurant serve global favourites and still remain Goan? And more importantly, are we slowly giving more menu space to familiar crowd-pleasers while traditional Goan dishes quietly disappear?
Expect opinions, disagreements, laughs and, as always, plenty of food talk over tea. ☕🌴
Watch till the end and tell us in the comments:
What is ONE dish you absolutely don't want to see on the menu when you go looking for authentic Goan food?

Mediterranean flavours, gorgeous sea views and a menu worth exploring! ✨
I experienced the special Chef Alaa Alloush Culinary Takeover at C2C, Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon, where Mediterranean traditions meet the soul of Goa’s coastal cuisine.
The Kunafa Prawns were an absolute highlight and the Kibbeh is another must-try. But I’d actually recommend exploring as much of the menu as possible because Chef Alaa brings his own interpretation to the classics.
From appetisers and mains to desserts, it really is a journey through flavours.
📅 On till 23rd August
🍽️ Lunch: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
🌙 Dinner: 7:00 PM – 10:30 PM
📍 C2C, Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon

There’s something special about a cocktail when you can actually appreciate the thought and technique that went into creating it.
At the MOFO Goa x Taverna Bar Takeover at Taj Cidade de Goa Heritage, I got to experience some beautifully crafted cocktails by South Goa’s mixologists, with the clarified cocktails being a definite highlight for me. A lot of effort goes into creating that clarity while retaining the flavours, and these were absolutely on point when it came to taste.
Add to that some delicious food from Taverna and the wonderful hospitality of Taj Cidade de Goa Heritage, and it made for a fantastic evening of cocktails, food and conversations.
Definitely an experience that made me appreciate the craft behind the glass a little more. 🍸✨

Why don’t we see more Goan cuisine in fine dining?
Odette Mascarenhas explains how even a familiar, everyday Goan dish can be transformed into a fine-dining plate — while still retaining its flavours and identity.
But that raises a bigger question: why isn’t this happening more often?

Why don’t we see Goan food in fine dining spaces?
In this episode of Tête-à-Tea, I sit down with Odette Mascarenhas to talk about a question that doesn’t get asked enough.. is it perception, presentation, or something deeper?
From beautifully plated dishes to traditional flavours, we explore why a cuisine so rich in history, ingredients, and technique hasn’t found the same space in fine dining as others.
Because sometimes, it’s not about the food…
it’s about how we choose to present it.
