Amazing Service

Our dinner at Fernando's Nostalgia was a serene and romantic experience. The restaurant's traditional Goan and Portuguese dishes, such as the pork vindalho and sannas, were exquisite. The ambiance, complete with antique collectibles and a large dance floor, added to the charm. It's a perfect spot for a peaceful getaway.

Amazing Service

We took our kids to Fernando's Nostalgia, and it was a great experience The restaurant is clean, safe, and has a friendly staff. The kids loved the squid butter-garlic and fried prawns, while we enjoyed the pork vindalho and sannas. The place is family-friendly, especially on weekends with live music. Highly recommended for a family dinner outing.
