A beloved open-air garden restaurant in the quiet village of Assagao, well-regarded by expat families for its South Indian and Keralan-influenced menu served in a relaxed setting that works well for kids. Dishes range from 250-600 INR ($3-8 USD) and the kitchen is accommodating of mild preparations for children; appam with stew and dosas are crowd-pleasing options for young eaters encountering Indian cuisine for the first time. The outdoor garden seating is flat, stroller-navigable, and shaded by trees, though entirely open-air so not suitable on rainy or extremely hot midday visits. Open for lunch and dinner (roughly 12pm-3pm and 7pm-10:30pm); closed on Mondays. Reservations are strongly advised for dinner during peak season (December-January) as it fills quickly especially on weekends.
