Vindaloo, a dish with a rich history shaped by Portuguese influence during colonial times, is renowned for its fiery and bold flavours.
Originating in the tropical coastal province of Goa, Vindaloo traditionally features pork as its primary protein, reflecting the region’s culinary heritage. Our vegetarian version of Vindaloo, is a tantalizing blend of spices, tangy vinegar, and aromatic garlic, all melding together to create a vibrant and flavourful culinary experience.
