Amazing Goan food! We ordered one day before Chicken Xacuti and Fish fry goan style. Everything was delicious. I would recommend also the prawn curry. The seafood is so fresh and definitely recommended.

Great Goan food! If you're from Goa and craving some fried fish, call up the chef the previous day and let him know! We did that, he prepared a recheado-style fried fish for us (not an usual item on the menu). Great chicken and meat chamuças (samosas) too. Camarao curry was authentic and fit well with the rice and fried fish

Casual dinning in an informal setting. Great food at great prices.

As a Goan-Mangalorean brought up in New Zealand I could not believe our good fortune in discovering Paladares de Goa whilst staying in Maia for a summer dance festival. Craving some spice and home food after a month of travels we were struck by the authentic menu and taste of Roberto Sousa’s delicious Goan cuisine. We sampled his sorpatel, Goan prawn curry and tasty appetizers and a fragrant chicken biryani with perfectly cooked basmati rice. The warmth and hospitality from João at front of house and then Chef Owner Roberto himself bringing out a dish was outstanding. He explained his passion and love for Goan cuisine and linkage to his Goan heritage from childhood in Mozambique to his father’s restaurant in Lisbon. On complimenting him on his perfectly piquant sorpatel he humbly mentioned it was his grandmother’s recipe. You can’t get more homely than that. Next night I went back for more sorpatel to take away and received a sample of the most tasty and tangy spicy bafad I’ve ever eaten. The lovely folk of Maia are blessed to be able to experience this genuine love and taste of Goa on their doorstep.

First, I'd like to say that, even though I really enjoy Indian food, I'm no expert. I really enjoyed the service and recommendations made by Roberto, the chef. The food is delicious, genuine and fresh. If this restaurant would be closer to home, I'd for sure be a regular.

This unassuming looking restaurant from the outside in a slightly random location North of Porto blew us out of the water. We had been craving authentic Indian food for a while and Paladres de Goa met every expectation we had. From the meat and vegetable samosas to the curries, every flavour was on point. The highlight for me was the butter chicken which was slightly sweet and perfectly spiced. The prawn curry was excellent as well. Our meal wouldn’t have been complete without a conversation with Chef Roberto who was genuinely kind and excited about us trying his different dishes. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a hearty Indian meal.

(Translated by Google) Now what to say about this restaurant, I have to highlight the service was the first time we were going to taste Indian food and you offered to give us a taste of each dish of the menu and gave us a brief description of each dish. Now the food, the samosas were the best I had ever eaten, the menu dishes were all good but what I liked most was the sarapatel and the lemon and ginger drink perfectly matched the food. I loved it! I recommend! (Original) Ora o que dizer deste restaurante, desde já tenho que destacar o atendimento era a primeira vez que íamos provar comida indiana e o senhor ofereceu se a dar-nos de provar 1 bocadinho de cada prato do menu e ainda nos deu uma breve descrição de cada prato. Agora a comida, as chamuças foram as melhores que alguma vez tinha comido, os pratos de menu estavam todos bons mas o que mais gostei foi o sarapatel e a bebida de limão e gengibre combinou perfeitamente com a comida. Adorei! Recomendo!

(Translated by Google) Concept very stressed, when we walked make a litany of Indian cuisine that we seem to be late ... 🙉 Nothing cheap ... Food, good eats, nothing special. (Original) Conceito muito forçado, quando entramos fazem uma ladainha sobre cozinha indiana que parece que somos atrasados... 🙉 Nada barato... Comida, bom, come-se, nada de especial.

Food was generally ok, but shrimp curry not amazing. Balchão was good, if you love spicy. Deserts are not that good, but I'm not a fan of Indian deserts. Service was good but the room was too cold, but perhaps they are not allowed to use AC during the pandemic.

Delicious food. Supportive owner and prepare food as per suggestions. Very very good restaurant if you want to eat Indian style food. Friendly owner and he makes very good fish curry if you want spicy food then you must visit and chicken samosa is also very good.

(Translated by Google) Great place to explore Goan food. I advise the tasting menu which has a great price. (Original) Óptimo local para explorar comida goesa. Aconselho o menu degustação que tem um óptimo preço.

I feel like taking Indian home food.

Great meal! The owner takes great pride in talking to you about the different dishes and we ended up trying lots of different things that we hadn’t tried before. The cooking is of very high quality and very reasonably priced. Also were very flexible about offering vegan options.

Owner is really friendly and you can see he is passionate about his work. You can ask him for his suggestions (he is also the Chef) and try a little bit of all the good things there are in Cuisine from Goa. Place is not fancy nor has any avant-garde decoration but that's not what you should look for in this kind of establishments.

Delicious. Has actual flavor and spices. Which seems to be a rarity in Portugal for some reason. Super nice owner. Definitely check it out if you can.

Always great food, freshly prepared by Roberto. Friendly staff. Always enjoy coming back here.

Very nice indian restaurant. The staff is very nice and é the food is very tasty.

This restaurant is not an Indian restaurant, I don't know how to cook it, there is a lot of garbage, not clean those who go will know, what is there and don't go to such a restaurant by looking on Google, this is for everyone's knowledge.

Amazing food and very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Very nice and friendly staff. Highly recommend

For two-thirds of the price, this could have been a reasonable casual Saturday lunch, and I would have probably given four stars overall even though the starter and dessert were nothing special. However, we could have had a far better lunch elsewhere nearby for the 62.60 euros charged for the two of us. The large chest freezer inside the door also suggested that ingredients may not necessarily be fresh. Prices are on the menu, but each dish costs a little more than I expected for what was served. The chicken biryani was presented as if it was a lunchtime deal, but cost 13.90 for a dish comprising four small pieces of chicken with rice.

A trip to Goa and the mixed flavours of portuguese and indian common heritage. Authentic food in a welcoming space and friendly people. Try the samosas/chamuças and help yourself from the spicy food with the sweet lassi.

We were shown a card with Chef's Recommendations. We thought that was some kind of deal. It wasn't. We paid about €15 more than we expected particularly for a meal that had a lot of pre-prepared elements. Not worth the price.

(Translated by Google) I had never been to an Indian restaurant, I loved the food and the restaurant. (Original) Nunca tinha ido à um restaurante indiano, adorei a comida e o restaurante.

Very good food and a great service.

Amazing food at amazing price. Friendly warm ambiance. Great if you are looking for new beautifully blended flavours from Goa.

(Translated by Google) In the family we have been clients for some years, either with room service or take-away. The flavors are fantastic, and the quality has been constant. The quantity is balanced, I advise to book because the restaurant structure is not large, and even in take-away I always order, preferably a few hours in advance. We especially like the chicken or shrimp curry, butter-chicken and the sarapatel is amazing. For starters, curry samosas or spice patties. (Original) Na família somos clientes há alguns anos, quer com serviço na sala, quer em take-away. Os sabores são fantásticos, e a qualidade tem sido constante. A quantidade é equilibrada, aconselho reservar porque a estrutura do restaurante não é grande, e mesmo em take-away encomendo sempre, de preferência com umas horas de antecedência. Gostamos especialmente do caril de frango ou de camarão, butter-chicken e o sarapatel é incrível. Para entrada, chamuças de caril ou rissóis de especiarias.

(Translated by Google) Very good! It is worth asking for the various options to try. I was a fan, I loved it!

(Translated by Google) I am an unconditional fan of Indian flavors. But I have to confess, that I was unaware of the existence of an Indian restaurant in Maia downtown, less than 500 meters from my residence. I discovered yesterday, in times of family confinement, tired of our own cooking. So, I thought I discovered, an establishment of frequent demand ... Mistake! ... The menu is offered in half-doses (price around 8 euros) and the so-called “dose”, which I asked to think about food for two (price that can exceed 15 €). Very well, what about quality? In fact it is an aspect that cannot be appreciated, so little is the quantity supplied. If I had to quantify what was delivered to me after half an hour of waiting, I would say it is half of what a person expects for himself, and that is the most salient aspect of the restaurant. Thus, we were forced to turn to another restaurant right away to complement our nutrition ... Unfortunate ... As a food business, the store is obviously bankrupt ... For us, we will not let it fool us again, and we would rather walk a few kilometers to get Indian food. (Original) Sou fã incondicional dos sabores indianos. Mas tenho de confessar, que desconhecia a existência de um restaurante de comida indiana, na Maia centro, a menos de 500 metros de minha residência. Descobri ontem, em tempos de confinamento familiar, cansados da nossa própria confecção alimentar. Assim, pensei ter descoberto, um estabelecimento de procura frequente... Engano!...A ementa oferece-se em meias-doses (preço em volta 8 eur) e a chamada “dose”, que pedi a pensar em alimento para dois (preço que pode ultrapassar os 15€). Muito bem, e a qualidade? Na verdade é um aspeto que não dá nem para apreciar, tão escassa é a quantidade fornecida. Se tivesse que quantificar o que me foi entregue após meia hora de espera, diria que é a metade, do que uma pessoa espera para si própria, e esse é o aspeto mais saliente do restaurante. Assim, vimo-nos obrigados, a recorrer logo de seguida a um outro restaurante, para complementar a nossa nutrição... Lamentável... Como negócio alimentar, a loja está obviamente falida...Por nós, não nós deixaremos voltar a enganar, e preferiremos andar alguns quilómetros, para obter comida indiana.

(Translated by Google) The food is good and the service is very friendly. But the space could be a little more hygienic. The floor, some cutlery and the juice mug had some visible dirt. (Original) A comida é boa e o atendimento é muito simpático. Mas o espaço podia ser um pouco mais higiénico. O chão, alguns talheres e a caneca do sumo tinham alguma sujidade visível.
