Regional Indian & Portuguese-influenced Goan cuisine



























"When I’m craving Goa’s laid-back susegad, I head to Indian Table in Cobble Hill where Goan chef Eric McCarthy guides you through chicken cafreal, ros omelette, pork sorpotel, and coastal classics like kalchi kodi fish curry and crab cutlets in a cozy dining room clad in Portuguese-style tiles, and on sultry nights I prefer the back patio strung with fairy lights that really transports you to a Goan veranda." - Sarah Khan

"I found Indian Table, led by Goan native Eric McCarthy, to showcase some of the city’s best regional Indian cooking with clear Portuguese influences; the $45 three-course dinner includes dishes such as pork vindaloo, chicken xacuti, and salt cod croquettes." - Robert Sietsema

"A couple of stops on the F from Dhamaka in Cobble Hill, India Table offers a fascinating, tasty take on regional Indian food with several dishes from the former Portuguese colony of Goa; I appreciate that it’s much easier to get into and even offers lunch hours, which Dhamaka pointedly does not." - Robert Sietsema

"At Indian Table in Cobble Hill, chef Eric McCarthy mounts a $45 three-course Goan dinner that blends Indian and Portuguese flavors; the meal might begin with salt-cod croquettes, proceed to pork vindaloo, and finish with the little custard pies called pasteis de nata." - Robert Sietsema

"The chef is from Goa, and the menu features food from that state, including several Portuguese-influenced dishes. But it also ventures beyond, including a chaat festively decorated with gold foil and coconut shrimp. The dining room is down a few steps from the street, colored blue and decorated with hanging brass lamps." - Robert Sietsema, Melissa McCart
