Join Us for a Burger this August

This Burger Wellington, Chef Chetan Pangam brings a deeply personal creation to the table, a twin burger tribute inspired by his parents and their coastal hometowns. One burger honours the bold, green flavours of Goa’s iconic cafreal curry, while the other celebrates Karwar’s rich seafood traditions.

It’s more than just a meal, it’s a heartfelt nod to family, heritage, and Chef Chetan’s lifelong love of Indian cuisine.

Walk-ins and bookings welcome. Come and taste the story.

Curry Rice Papad Project

Burger 1: Harringtons beef cafreal patty, salad, housemade pickles, cheese, potato salli, and Chef Chetan’s mum’s Goan Cafreal curry sauce, served in a Clareville Bakery basmati rice kanji bun.
