The Coconut Boy gets a home-style twist with New Saraswat Menu 

The Coconut Boy is now introducing that quieter side of Goan food with new Saraswat vegetarian dishes inspired by the Saraswat community.

Rooted in the coastal belt stretching from Konkan to Goa and Karnataka, Saraswat cuisine has always been about a balance of simple, home-cooked meals that nourish the body and calm the soul. It’s the kind of food Goans grew up on: light, coconut-based, full of local ingredients, and always cooked with care.
