In the kitchen, there are only Nepalese cooks, and so the result couldn't be more typical and loyal to Nepalese flavours. Among the dishes, the spice is there, ain't softened to please more sensitive palates. The food aims fine dining with quality products and typical traditional dishes: from the shrimps, asparagus, kid or even boar.  At Casa Nepalesa, the rustic decor, traditional music and waiters aren't hiding nothing fake, yet bringing you into a food journey to Nepal.

 The link between Portugal and Goa is stronger and older than some might think. Back in time, Goa was a Portuguese colony by the time Vasco da Game sailed to India in the 15th century. Later in the last century, Mozambique also a Portuguese colony, hosted many people from Goa, who after Mozambique independence came to Portugal.
Hence the influences and cultural exchanges were inevitable...
At Tentações de Goa indulge with a crab curry, samosas, the bhaji puris, the mirchi and the kid xacuti with onion and chilli.
