A lovely cozy corner in Porvorim that I finally managed to visit after eons. Again a vegetarian's paradise that even a hard core non-vegetarian like me would vouch for. An all woman small team led by the sweet ever smiling Chef Nishtha, the service is delightful and the menu is top notch. Particularly loved my Millet Hummus Bowl and also the Kimchi Spiced Wedges, the Spicy Mango & Tempura artisanal sandwich (in a poie!), the wholesome pizza; and of course the Intense Orange Cacao cake with my go-to Americano. There's a Silent Book Club on Sundays for bookworms like us to devour both food and books. Quite a collection of books to browse through. Else you can always carry your Kindle too. The cafe also can be your co-working space, if you are a solo freelancer who doesn't need to be on the phone 24/7. Overall a lovely place to dine and connect over at!! All stars and hearts from me

If I could, I would have eaten everything on the menu. Everything that we ordered was yummy and freshly prepared from scratch. We ordered, the Vietnamese latte, Cold Coffee, Blueberry Latte, Three cheese Sandwich, Spicy noodles, Tandoori Kathi roll, mixed pasta. The sauces with the food were amazing. They are aiming for perfection here. This place is a slice of heaven and they have such wide options for gluten free, vegan and guilt free. The prices are very nominal for such good quality food and they try to make everything fresh and in house. Not even 5 star/ 7 star places can maintain it. I think, that why places like these become regular and close to people's heart. And the vibe is so calm and warm. They also have a great collection of books to browse through. It's a cute warm cozy place. I'm sure, anyone who visits once, will come here again and again. I know, I will.

My boyfriend really liked that place. Many vegan options are available; in-house fermented beverages are very tasty. Taken dishes are spicy a bit what is suitable for locals bet less for Europeans. Carrot cake is very good regular carrot cake. Atmosphere is friendly and cozy. Recommending

Asro is a tiny cafe behind the Maruti showroom on the highway. It’s vegetarian and vegan with a decent menu serving both. The dishes can be somewhat customised as well. I went for breakfast and had their open wrap which was decent. My friends ordered stuffed dosa, poha and waffles. All tasty. They make the food after ordering so service is a little slow. Take a book and relax, don’t hurry!

One of the cosiest places around. Staff is very friendly and the owner, Nishtha, is an absolute sweetheart. Love the location also, easy to access from the highway but in a quiet residential spot. And the food is very tasty. And you don't feel like you've eaten outside afterwards. Highly recommended! So ask for their various experimental things because the lab is always working on new ideas, especially their fermented stuff.

What a hidden gem! Stumbled upon Asro looking for a coffee shop and am so glad I found it! The coconut milk iced latte was absolutely delicious. Great prices as well. The ambiance is so calming and I could spend hours here working or just enjoying. I can’t wait to try some of the food. The owner was so sweet and it was great talking to her. Definitely recommend!
