The melting pot of flavours

Although Silvassa cuisine is known for its tribal roots, its culinary repertoire boasts strong Gujarati influences that create an exciting yet delectable fusion. At the heart of Silvassa cuisine lies an abundance of vegetables and pulses which reflect the region's agricultural abundance; uniquely celebrating nature through wild mushrooms and bamboo shoots that add unique tastes and textures to dishes served.

Local staples: An experience in simplicity

Silvassa's staple foods consist of flours made from rice, raagi (locally known as 'nagli') and jowar. This combination forms the base for traditional Indian bread known as roti. When visiting Silvassa it is strongly advised that visitors indulge in one or two comforting rotis - an experience which will provide an authentic representation of its cuisine!

Seafood treats: Fresh from the waters

Silvassa offers plenty of non-vegetarian fare for those who appreciate non-veg cuisine, with freshly caught crabs being an all-time local favourite and river fish such as Rohu, Katla and Mrigals regularly making appearances in local dishes for an aquatic touch to the menu.
