But how did Navtara start, and what makes it so special? Let’s go on a journey through the history of Navtara, and show you why it is more than just a restaurant.

Navtara was founded in 1986 by Mr. Carlos Tavora, a visionary who wanted to create a vegetarian alternative to the non-vegetarian-dominated cuisine of Goa. He started with a small outlet in Panaji, the capital city, and soon expanded to other locations across the state. His motto was simple: to provide fresh, hygienic and tasty food at affordable prices. 

It began as a humble South Indian Eatery, and in 1997 it decided to cater to the diverse preferences of its customers and offer a variety of cuisines, from South Indian to North Indian, from Chinese to Continental. You can find everything from idli and dosa to pav bhaji and chole bhature, from noodles and fried rice to pasta and pizza. You can also enjoy their signature dishes, such as the Navtara thali, the Navtara special masala dosa, and the Navtara veg burger. And don’t forget to try their desserts, such as the gulab jamun, the rasgulla, and the ice cream.

But Navtara is not just about food. It is also about creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for its customers. The staff are friendly and courteous, the service is quick and efficient, and the ambience is cosy and comfortable. You can feel the love and care that goes into every aspect of Navtara’s operations. Whether you are dining with your family, friends, or colleagues, you can be sure that you will have a memorable experience at Navtara.
