What can I say, absolutely incredibly food (the shacuti has flavours that absolutely dance in the mouth), lovely decor and atmosphere, and an owner in Savio who makes you feel you are dining at home all come together to provide my absolute favorite dining experience in London.
Fabulous freshly made food. Had a wonderful time! Friendly family atmosphere, made to feel welcome from the time we walked in to the time we left. Glad I found this place. It was very special. Thank you
After a long flight from New York earning for authentic Indian cuisine, my friend insisted on Goan food in London. 45 minutes drive later we were at lunching at Savio’s Olde Goa. Aside the genuine Indian hospitality, we truly enjoyed the experience. It was like eating at home cooked food, the passion, love and enthusiasm shone through the delicacies served. Savio is not one to ever say no to anything you would wish to have from his favourite Goa, so go ahead and try him and I am sure he will not disappoint.
I have always firmly believed that our roots go a long way in defining our bond with the food we enjoy. My Goan roots have made me have love affairs with almost every cuisine that has come my way. And when I see an opportunity to go back to those roots, explore Goan cuisine all over again, I rarely let go of it. I must thank Mukta for strongly endorsing this place.I called up Olde Goa a few days in advance to make a reservation. The voice at the other end had the familiar warmth of Goa and the connection was instantly made with Savio – the one man show at Olde Goa.Come Sunday and we made the long journey to Norbury. Right from the moment we stepped in, it was signature Goa. Savio welcomed us with a big smile, made us comfortable and shared his stories with us. One wall is adorned with the familiar Mario Miranda’s cartoons while the kitchen is surrounded by small artefacts that would instantly transport you to a Goan village.We started off with Limbu Soda (a modified lemonade) with rock salt and that is where you knew you were at the right place. Savio then dished out an excellent starter platter of his signature Crab and Fish cakes along with some Lamb croquettes. The ease with which the cakes melted in our mouth cannot be described in words. For the mains we had the Goan prawn curry, Peixe Recheado (with tilapia) and Sorpotel (pork curry – diced pork marinated in Goan coconut vinegar) with some Goan boiled rice and some Pilau rice. It had been ages since I had Sorpotel and it was delicious. The Recheado which has its origins in Portugal was the best dish of the day. Fish so tenderly cooked, one could feel it melt with every bite. The prawns curry with coconut made the experience almost complete. And how could we not have the Bebinca, the traditional layered Goan cake. (The original Bebinca is supposed to have 16 layers). Lip smacking. What an amazing lunch. We returned with some lovely memories and tastes of Olde Goa and the lovely hospitality of Savio. Make sure you do not miss this place.
Lovely atmosphere and fabulous food. The crab cakes were probably the best I’ve had and the fish curry was brilliant. The service was excellent! Savio is a great host – friendly and very attentive. Had a great time. Will definitely be visiting again soon. instagram.com
My kids love this place and this is a perfect place for fresh and healthy food with amazing taste. I have always loved it. This is a great spot for fresh, authentic, home cooked food in a really friendly and cozy environment. The management clearly cares deeply about their food and ingredients, and is knowledgeable and passionate. Good ambiance and food. I had a great experience once again.
Me and my guests had a fabulous evening at the Olde Goa for my husband’s 50th birthday party. We received a warm and friendly welcome, from Savio the owner as always. Savio, is a passionate man, a kind and friendly soul, who wants to please and share his genuine knowledge and experience with his customers.Saviohas a vision, he works hard to fulfil it.He is ambitious, driven, warm and generous; plus he is anxious to please people. We had a truly wonderful evening, with freshly made, utterly delicious very distinctive Goan food and live music by Geoff who is a gifted singer and guitarist. A rare in itself, a delicious treat which complemented this very special evening beautifully!Savio and his team are refreshingly genuine, and truly passionate, warm, and generous. His restaurant is friendly, homely, and wonderfully intimate where every customer matters. Savio is hands on and happily engages with his customers. He is flexible,spontaneous, attentive andalways keen to please! I have known Savio for as long as he has had therestaurant(one of many ventures) And can honestly say, that he istotallygenuine. He is a man who deserves customers who can appreciate his warmth, his truly delicious food, his generosity, his diligence, and willingness to please like the best of hosts at a really good dinner party. Savio also does a whole range of delicious home made goodies, like chutneys etc… On sale in his restaurant and elsewhere, made with ingredients grown on his families farm in Goa.Wecouldn’thave asked for better evening, it was reallyunforgeable. Savio’s Goanfood, being wonderfully fresh and clean tasting, light and distinctive is for people who like to taste what they eat, and for people who enjoy really good food. Savio, also makes the perfect masala tea!So, if you want something a bit special and like being cared for whilst eating food cooked from the heart, the Olde Goa restaurant is for you!We are very lucky in Norbury (South London) to have Savio and his family, offering us their delicious food in what is a little gem of a restaurant.THANK YOU SAVIO! and to your team for a truly marvellous evening!!!!Corinne Wong – Thornton Heath
