Welcome back! Lately, it seems like I can’t drive around Goa without bumping into a food truck or two. Gone are the days when “proper” restaurants were the only places to dine at. Goans and tourists are flocking to food trucks in Goa for some delish cheap eats and fuss-free…

Edit – This restaurant has permanently closed down. Forget about Chinese, Mughlai and Continental food for a bit. There’s a new, yet age-old cuisine in town that’s set to blow your mind! Located on a quiet lane that’s a stone’s throw away from Reis Magos Fort while overlooking a rivulet,…
