up further to the streets of Amritsar to our tropical setting. You may not feel this instantly when you enter Daivya’s, but once the food hits your table, you will know what I mean.

From design and ambience perspective, Daivya’s has a minimalistic modern approach with a bright graffiti wall behind the bar that immediately catches in delectable food. Coming to food, the small but carefully curated menu at Daivya’s allows you to enjoy some delicious starters with their main focus on tandoori items and kebabs in both veg and non-veg, while the main course offers you a selection of some mouthwatering Mughlai and North Indian dishes. The first thing that impressed me even before I tasted the food was the cutlery at Daivya’s Oh m y m y , t h a t brassware was gorgeous to look a t , l e t a l o n e e a t i n g l i k e royalty. When the f i r s t s e t o f starters came on m y t a b l e , m y mind was blown never eaten a chicken pakora anywhere here in Goa and this one comes straight from the lanes of Old Delhi.

Dahi Ke Kebab was another winner dish for me, succulent kebabs that simply melt in the mouth.

For the mains, I wanted to try the basics and thus settled for Butter Chicken, Dal Makhani and Paneer Tikka Masala. Coming from Delhi myself, I can easily say that this was the kind of Butter Chicken I had been craving for and finally Daivya’s has brought that authentic taste for us to relish. Without moving a foot, I was transported to my old times in Delhi.

Located just off the main Vagator Market Road, Daivya’s might be a new entrant in the culinary scene of Goan shores, but once you enter the place and taste the food, a hint of familiarity starts taking over.

Daivya’s is an honest attempt to bring the authentic North Indian flavours from the by lanes of Daryaganj, Old Delhi and going your attention. It offers both indoor and outdoor seating oozing chilled out vibes and sense of calm. It’s the kind of place, where you could hang in with friends over a few drinks and good food of course or have a cosy time with family or even grab your laptop and have some me time while you enjoy refreshing cocktails from the bar and indulge a w a y , e v e n without any over t h e t o p presentation, the food looked very inviting indeed and the magic of that brassware c u t l e r y w a s evident.

I ordered Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Pakora, Chicken Tikka and Dahi Ke Kebab. Trust me, each and every item was delicious to the core.

Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Pakora are specialties are Daivya’s and hence must be tried for sure. I am sure you would have

If you have been to Delhi and experienced those flavours, I am sure you will be able to relive them and if you haven’t tried yet, Daivya’s is your answer to that Delhi food trip that you have not been able to take.

I had a hearty portion of Gajar Ka Halwa to end my meal and there could have been nothing better than this.

Being a Dilli Wala, my search for typical Delhi style of North Indian cuisine ends at Daivya’s.

Along with the food, the cocktails at Daivya’s will have your heart. I tried at least 3-4 different drinks just to experience holding those stylish types of brass cocktail glasses. Totally worthy for your Instagram.

So do pay a visit to Daivya’s soon and let me know how your experience was.
