Restaurant - Zuari


Probably the oldest Goan (Goa is a state in India) restaurant in Portugal with more than 30 years, Zuari is one of those places that you feel like being transported to another country and culture, with all those strange and different flavours, not your ordinary Indian restaurant for sure.
And it is true, Mr. Orlando (the owner) has pride that all of his recipes are still the same that he made in India!
This may be a problem for those of you that don't like hot spicy food... as he says "All my recipes are original, and they are all spicy, so if don't like spicy... well you better go to another restaurant."

I just love the Vindalho (a recipe that has origins in the Portuguese gastronomy), the Prawn Curry and the Samosas, yummy! remember to ask for the Mango Achar(a sauce) and the Apas(flat bread), finish off with the famous Bebinca.

Misc:
Average price: 10 ~ 16 Euros
Smokers: no
MultiBanco/Visa: no
Closed at: Monday

Pros:
- Genuine Goan food
- Central, is in Santos, lots of places for a drink afterwards
- Very good quality/price ratio
- Great Samosas!!!

Cons:
- No near subway
- Difficult parking
- Small place, not good for large groups
- Sometimes closes early
