Curries cooked to perfection
Cafreal, Xacuti, Ambotik, Vindaloo, Chettinad, Makhani. Each one with its own distinct flavour. Started early, finished by the time the first bowl goes out.
WHAT WE COOK
A short list, cooked to perfection. Every plate, every day.
Our full spectrum menu covers short plates, meal bowls, desserts and cold & hot beverages.
Choose your protein
Prawn and Chicken for the meat eaters. Mushroom, Paneer, Mixed Veg, and Jackfruit for everyone else. Pick what you want, we cook it for you.
Hot when it leaves the kitchen
Curry sits in steel pots on a low flame, not under a heat lamp. Rice cooked in batches. If it isn't hot, we don't serve it. Simple.
Quick service for busy people
Most bowls go out in five minutes. Our regulars know we don't waste your lunch break. In, fed, out, back to business.
Fair Prices, Simple Billing
What you pay is what you eat. No service charge, no mystery taxes. Auntie wouldn't stand for it and neither do we.
Dine In. Takeaway. Home delivery.
Our customer is King! You decide if you want to come in, takeaway or order online. We cater to all your needs.
POPULAR BOWLS
Bowls our regulars order again and again.
While the Cacu Bowl is a build-your-own exercise, here are the combinations our regular customers order most. Hot favourites!
Chicken Cafreal Bowl
Bright green Cafreal masala (coriander, mint, ginger, chilli) with chicken. Comes with onion and lime salad. The house favourite.
Prawn Xacuti Bowl
Roasted coconut and dry red chilli Xacuti masala with tiger prawns. Strong, smoky, served on poee. Not for first dates.
Paneer Makhani Bowl
Tomato butter Makhani with hand cut paneer. Mild, gentle, the bowl we make for kids and anyone who can't take heat.
Jackfruit Vindaloo Bowl
Canacona chilli and palm vinegar Vindaloo with raw jackfruit. Sharp, sour, fully vegetarian, and meatier than meat eaters expect.
Mushroom Ambotik Bowl
Sour and hot Ambotik (kokum, vinegar, Canacona chilli) with button mushrooms. The bowl that wakes you up after a long shift.
Mixed Veg Chettinad Bowl
Chettinad curry (black pepper, fennel, star anise) with mixed seasonal vegetables. Deep, peppery. We cook it the same way we cook the Goan curries.

OUR VISION
Preserving authentic cuisine, one curry at a time.
Carmina's Curry was built to keep real cooking alive in a country that often dilutes it. Carmina's curry list (Cafreal, Xacuti, Ambotik, Vindaloo, Chettinad, Makhani) is hand ground every morning, cooked properly, and served as build your own bowls. Our work is to make sure these recipes don't get watered down for scale, that they stay honest as we grow.
“We are all about honesty, integrity and authencity. We simply make sure that the food on your plate is the food it should be.”
WHAT WE PROMISE
Three things we won't compromise on.
01Recipes
Goan home recipes, not invented for a menu. The masalas are real, written down, tested again. We didn't simplify any of them to fit a quick service format.
02Price
Fair prices, plain bill. What you pay is what you eat. No service charge, no mystery taxes. The number you see on the board is the number you pay at the counter.
03Open
Open every day, 10 to 10. Through the monsoon, through Diwali, through Christmas Eve. Walk in, sit down, eat well. We're here because you are.
