“Last month Cyrus returned to Goa. He opened a signature restaurant at the Acron Waterfront, a charming, tiny (29 rooms only) resort in Baga on a spot of land between the riverbank and the beach. When he called to invite me to Goa for a charity dinner at his new restaurant, he said that four excellent British chefs would also be coming”

“I had a great time. The hotel is owned by really nice people and has a character all of its own. The British chefs were wonderful. But how can anyone top Cyrus Todiwala’s food: a mutton Country Captain done like a Shepherd’s Pie, a beetroot rasam that sounded strange but was delicious, little tartlets filled with freshly scrambled akuri, a shoulder of lamb slow-cooked so that it melted in your mouth, and much more”

“You should go. It’s not very glam. You won’t think you are in Ibiza. You won’t be able to pretend it is a Greek island. And you’ll see the local fishermen cast their nets in the morning.”

“But it’s Goa. The real Goa. And it doesn’t apologise for being itself.”
