And, if you’re wondering about the fillings, these patties are available in a couple of delicious options – chicken, vegetable, mushroom and egg – with banana patties having been introduced only recently.

PRE-LIBERATION ROOTS

Quite a selection of sweets and savouries are on offer at this outlet, which was established in 1948 – at a time when the Portuguese still ruled Goa.
