Our Story

Where Every Bite Tells a Tale

Maria's Goan Eatery & Bakery started as a dream to bring the flavors of Goa to the heart of Vasai-Virar. Nestled in the cozy neighborhood of Sandor, our café is more than just a place to eat – it's a space to create memories.

From the aroma of freshly baked croissants to the rich, spicy Goan curries and comforting Italian pastas, every dish is crafted with love and tradition. Our warm, nostalgic ambiance, coupled with the friendly chatter of regulars, makes every visit feel like coming home.

Whether you're here for a leisurely breakfast, a casual lunch, or a sweet treat, we promise a dining experience that's cozy, casual, and memory-filled.
