Just perfect - Edit
Amazing authentic Indian food. All the dishes can be vegan or vegetarian , whether it’s the garlic butter naan, mango lassi or the curries. For every dish with paneer they also have one with tofu. And he explains everything well. everything is made fresh there, so they can also make it mild. It was really delicious.

Authentic taste - Edit
Food is amazing in this unassuming little restaurant. Authentic home cooked tastes, made to order. Majority of dishes have a vegan alternative.
Read moreWe enjoyed 2 portions of poppadoms with the variety of accompanying chutneys, a tofu and capsicum curry, boondi vegan yoghurt, shahi paneer, cholay (chickpea) bhutaray, 2 x naans, laddu dessert which all came to €44.
Pros: Authentic flavours, Hospitality, Lots of vegan options

Family run Indian restaurant - Edit
If you are looking for a good money to value ratio and don't need it to look fancy you are in the right place.
Read moreThey cooked the food in the guest room basically so you could see it being prepared. The whole family was there when we had dinner there.
My mothers partner had the pasta and was really enjoying them despite not wanting to go to a vegetarian restaurant before.
Be aware that parking was a nightmare ...

Best Indian restaurant in Porimao - Edit
This place is magnificient. The food is top notch, everything I ate here was 11/10, abosolutely delicious. Many vegan options and also (usually) a posibility of making food without a ingridient that we don't want. Prices are really reasonable. The restaurant is family owned by probably by incredibly nice and humble people. I highly reccomend buying naans and mango lassi to anything. Definitely my go to restaurant in Portimâo.

Small, but MIGHTY! - Edit
This is a gorgeous family-run cafe/restaurant! Food is fresh and the service is amazingly friendly. Had the makhni dal - it was genuinely one of the best, I’ve had, in any eatery. My partner had the palak tofu and it was spiced perfectly! Garlic naan - oh, how we’ve both missed you - was better than we remember it ever tasting!!!

Indian feast! - Edit
Yes girl, this tiny restaurant oozes nothing but love, run by a very friendly couple. Everything is freshly prepared in this even tinier kitchen. What comes out of it can only be described as magic. Yes, magic. Flavourfull awesomeness with every dish.
Read moreHighly recommended.
Ps: we only visited Portimao because of this place and it did not disappoint a bit - totally worth a detour if it's not entirely on your way.
Also: vegan lassi!

Fresh, flavourful, authentic - Edit
Best Indian food I've had outside of India!
Read moreCooked to order from fresh ingredients, Cozinha de Sonia is a very cute and landmark spot in Portimao.
I have become a regular ever since discovering it a few weeks back coming here 5 times in 2 weeks...
The masala dosas on Sundays are incredible! Very legit. But not only is the food so good they are incredibly kind and accommodating, catering to vegans and veges with no compromise on full flavour. I cant recommend it enough! They also do takeaway😄
Pros: Deep delicious thoughtful flavours, Freshly cooked , Authentic food, authentic people
