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!!!

Pros: Absolutely delicious vegan food, Incredible service, Fresh, authentic Indian food

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

Amazing food and sweet owners - Edit
Really good experience! Small place with an extremely friendly atmosphere. The food is amazing (very spicy if you want in) with all the classic Indian dishes in vegan versions, and really cheap also. Try the vegan mango lassi!!! Besides the food we had great talks with the owners about veganism and they who so sweet and welcoming in general. Support places like this instead of gentrifying posh places, chains etc. 5 stars definitely!

Mama, papa and son... All of them involved in serving us. She is running the show behind the stove, head of family takes orders with big big smile, the jungest one brought us the photo menu. The food was really tasty, not too spicy with reasonable portions. Many vegan options among everything that is vegetarian!!! We had lots of things and at the end we paid 20 euro. Super experience!

The best! - Edit
Love this place! The owners are so friendly and happily explained the whole menu to us. Every dish we ordered was totally delicious! And very reasonably priced - for a family of three we paid less than 30€ for main meals, drinks and starters. Considering going there a second time before our holiday is over.
