ToraShir is located in the same place where Pedrito’s by the Banyan was, on the Margao-Varca road in Pequeno, Pulvaddo, Benaulim. To get there from the Margao Kharebandh side of the Margao-Varca road, continue past Umiya Mercado mall and Correia Afonso hospital. After Mother’s Recipes restaurant, take the left to stay on the Margao-Varca road. ToraShir is a short distance ahead, on the right
ToraShir
H.No. 573/A, Pulwaddo, Benaulim, Salcette, beside Near Mothers recipe restaurant, Goa, 403716; Mondays CLOSED
Google Maps location: maps.app.goo.g...
Costs we paid: salted pork Rs 330, village roast beef Rs 290, sausage naan Rs 170, stuffed squids Rs 360, creme caramel Rs 360, pork thali Rs 400, chonak thali Rs 350
ToraShir has a refreshingly green, outdoor decor when you enter. They even have tables set in the garden for those who love greenery. Even once within the main restaurant, which is open, you can enjoy the greenery of the surrounding garden.
Now what shall we eat? Our eyes are immediately drawn to the ‘local kitchen’ section of ToraShir’s menu. Salted pork is not seen often enough on Goan menus, so we will definitely try that. And village style roast beef, but of course. Stuffed squids is another favourite with both of us, and we always try it whenever we find it on a menu. Lastly, we’ll have all this with a Goa sausage stuffed naan.
Don’t miss the last page of the menu, which tells you about tora shiro, the pickling of slices of tora, or raw mango, with chillis in brine, which starts in Goa once the first raw mangoes appear in January and continues throughout the summer months. ToraShir’s big mural celebrates these delicious brined mango slices, as does the mosaic mango tree at the entrance.
We are getting into the village theme by enjoying a glass of dudshiri, or dukshiri, a village brew made all over Goa, but best quality from the far south.
We both really loved the salted pork. We are so happy because now we know where to get it in our village. The salted pork is so good because of how evenly it is cured and how thinly the slices are cut.
The village beef was lovely. Soft, and just enough spice. Not too much
And now to try this delicious looking choris (sausage) naan. It’s so good because it has so much choris (sausage) stuffed inside
This video is like life in our corner of Goa, which is deliciously slow. We are enjoying our village lunch at village pace. And here, quite some way into our meal, comes our lovely stuffed squid. Because you see in Goa, the best things in life are worth waiting for. Be it tora (raw mango) pickled over two weeks in brine, or plump squids lovingly cleaned, and stuffed with their own tentacles in a tangy masala.
We were surprised to find a caramel custard on the menu which was eggless. We’re definitely trying this one. That was something unique.
We are saying goodbye to ToraShir today, but as we were leaving they told us about their pork thali, and we were immediately intrigued, so we’ll be back to sample it very soon.
ToraShir's pork thali has vindaloo, sausage chilli fry, chonnem, sorpotel, teesrio, kismur, rice, sol kadi, salad and pickle. A unique offering of Benaulim, Goa. Maria and I also shared a chonak rice plate, which had prawn curry, veg kurma, chonnem, teesrio, poppadum, kismur, sol codi, pickle, rice and salad. And of course a beautiful piece of chonak fry.
As ToraShir brings out the huge gulab jamuns that finish their thalis, I want to pay my compliments to the restaurant and the chef. We are sure the pork thali will find many takers in the months ahead. And we are delighted that such an innovative item of Goan cuisine is being served in our own home vaddo in Benaulim. Cheers!
Costs we paid: salted pork Rs 330, village roast beef Rs 290, sausage naan Rs 170, stuffed squids Rs 360, creme caramel Rs 360; pork thali; chonak thali

What a sumptuous lunch... replete with salted pork , beef chunks and stuffed squid all served in a delightful setting.
Heaven on a plate!!!!
Beautifully presented .
Thank you so much
I was in arrosim beach on 21st January. I saw you enjoying a morning walk with 2 of your friends and fur babies. I visited chef Rodwin's pastry shop on your recommendation - absolute delight! Thank you Leslie ma'am for putting out quality content.
Hi, I think you may have seen someone else as I haven't been to Arossim in a while. But please do say hi should you ever bump into us!
@@lesleyingoa quite possible ma'am, I couldn't see the person's face. Goa has successfully charmed me so maybe I will visit again soon. Hope to meet you in person someday Leslie ma'am 🙏
I do see a lot of people have a special love and bond with their pets in Goa. I think we should consider having a carnival parade for our dogs and other animals, get the dogs/pets all dressed up in costume w/o their owners, and have a small participation fee with all the funds donated to a dog shelter/s. There are several folk that donate their time and money to feed the strays, we should make them the grand marshals....just a thought!
Belated Birthday wishes to Maria, may our lord always bless and keep you in His grace!
On another note my Tia used to always say never to eat pork in the months which do not have an R in them, I should have asked her why ,but I was too busy eating. Also interesting is how the fish thali has evolved , in the 90s we never had tismur in the thalis . It used to be prawn curry with fried fish , one veg , pickle and salad.
Thanks for sharing!!
Mouth watering! Another place to add on my list
Hope you enjoy!
Very tempting Mouthwatering Lucky People. Love from Karachi Pakistan
Bro you get pork in Pakistan
I really like the way they decorated the plate I will definitely try when I’m back home goa. Thank you for sharing this to us
Thank you so much 😊
The beauty of Goa is that it has the same food nature as the northeast region.
Definitely. Even more so in the monsoon season when we get fresh wild mushrooms and bamboo shoots
@@lesleyingoa looking forward soon when time permits.....
Eat, Drink, Love…
Nice Place… 👌🏼
PS: Belated Happy Birthday to Maria 👍🏼
Thank you! 😃
Tempting Thali and all other food.
Fantastic layout and unique set up never ever before - much more than a 5 starred restaurant. Best wishes to Tora Shir and all the other Ambe involved.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hii I love watching your videos and love the way you guys are exploring Goan Food. But the only thing is that Maria have to teach her daughter how to eat at least a Thali with her hands like a True Goan .No harsh feeling love the way you’ll are exploring Goan Food keep it up. ( Thali should always have with barehands like a true Goan)
Hi, Roma is not a child but an adult and will eat the way she likes. It doesn’t make her any less of a Goan. To each their own. Thanks for your encouraging words
I can't eat with my fingers, I need to use a fork n spoon esp with curries. These things happen, in life please concentrate on your positive thoughts and disregard these intrusive ones. 🙂🙏🏿
Exactly. Live and let live. Everyone will eat the way they like, not how someone else likes. Thanks for your kind comment
Wow all the food Seems to be too yummy so delicous so when ever in South goa must try ❤❤❤❤
Please do!

@@lesleyingoa Wow, thanks for your quick reply, appreciate it 😃🥰👍🏼👍🏼
Do you have an Instagram account? I would like to message and say Hi, ask a few questions in response to other videos of yours I've seen. I've seen quite a few, actually just this past week I came across your wonderful videos on Goa and goan food and restaurants.
But I would like to message you one-on-one rather than put it in the comments.
If that is alright with you, and If you have the time Lesley.
I live in Bombay, my grandfather and his family were from Goa Napoleon Pereira from Cortalim. I absolutely Adore and Love my gorgeous Goa😍
It would be great to meet you in person if and when I come to Goa, And, if ever you are in Bombay, you are most welcome to stay a few days at my place if you like.
Cheers and Keep making your wonderful videos...
Wish You All the best🙏🏼🌹

My favourite ❤ chicken briyani from this place mouth watering 😋 lovely food 😋 lovely place to
My mouth was watering. When I visit goa I will definitely visit this place. I watch all your videos. Love it.
Thanks a lot 😊
Nice. Are there any places where we can get minced beef recipes like minced beef fry / rolls / samosas / kebabs etc. ( Beef Kheema dishes )
Hi, there are far too many places like that to list here. For this stuff, we go most often to Rebello's in Old Market, Margao
Portions looks good. Hope they will serve same amount to all customers and not a publicity gimmick.. 😜
Potion is very little
Hey Lesley, I remember you saying that you have high blood pressure problem. So, kindly try to avoid salty food as much as possible. ❤❤
Hi it’s diabetes, my BP is good
Very nice video. Food looks delicious.
Many thanks 🎉
Always welcome
Very very happy to see this video,Thanks
Beautiful place Lesley as always u never fail to show us beautiful Goan food ❤
😊 thank you
When you get a chance, you can try BANDEKAR BAR & restaurant in Agonda South Goa. Women cook the food and it's delicious. Try Moong Aloo curry in veg thali, Chonak Thali, Prawns and Chicken thali. We loved it.
Must try this restaurant! You passed Ritz on your way one of my faves❤
Belated Happy Birthday Maria 💥🎉 big fan of your videos
From Uttar Pradesh
Thank you so much 😀
It is good to promote these restaurants that serve authentic Goan food apart from of the non-Goan foods. As I am not sure International or domestic tourists would be looking out for these restaurants.
I am somewhat surprised that these restaurants can afford to offer such a wide variety of dishes...looking at the menu, I saw Indian and Chinese dishes too! Because we know most Indian dishes are prepared over a long period of time and are unique in their own unique way. In contrast, Italian Pasta that can be prepared ahead of time, and then quick sauce can be cooked up for the different Italian dishes.
But with Indian food each dish has to be cooked from beginning to end as each needs its own set of spices.
I always need a nice environment when I am dinning out, that is just the 'art and design' in me. Some folk are just satisfied with a very good meal and could careless what the place looks like. At times I might occasionally do that if the food is so exceptional.
Part of the charm of eating out is the full dinning experience. Having a nice place that is pleasing to the eye, to relax in.
Thanks for selecting a restaurant that checks all the boxes. This is another one that I am adding to my list.
O dear nw m hungry fr this delicious thali😋❣

Looks scrumptious.
Many Happy returns to the Birthday girl. May your days be always filled with joy and friends all the rest of your life.
