The Real Tandoori Indian Food

The love of food started from watching my mother cook for our family. She loved to be in the kitchen and that passion was definitely something We inherited from them. We travelled from India to Singapore to Germany spending many hours in the kitchens of Master Chefs. We were captivated by the colours, aromas and flavours. We were amazed by what each individual chef could do with simple ingredients and spices. We knew from a very young age that our journey would be in this flavoursome world of food and very quickly We were on our way to the Portugal.

We came to Portugal in 2019 and opened our own IT company  which is our primary business but after spending couple of years here, We could not hold back our love for Food so we started Papa Doner Kebab and Pizza in Almada. We managed the kitchen with our fantastic team and worked there for 2 years. We both knew the end result was going to be an Indian restaurant in Portugal where our daughter was born and brought up. 

The plans for Papa Indian Restaurant was set in motion. We are not going to pretend that We weren’t  nervous. We had many sleepless nights from when we got the keys to the building, throughout the refurb, to opening day. We had put in all we had. Financially, emotionally, mentally and physically. We were ready. On the 7th of August 2022 we opened our doors.

We are deeply grateful for the journey that you all joined us on. From when we opened, to the dine at home meals, to our cooking videos.

Thank you to our customers who dine with us. Thank you to our amazing team who work with us. 

The best is yet to come.
