Cozinha de Sónia - Vegetarian, Vegan, Indian restaurant

Husband and wife team make the perfect combination in this small, friendly restaurant. There are pictures of all the dishes and the veggie ones can be made vegan. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate here and left very satisfied customers! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-21

We visited for lunch so decided to share some small dishes. We had the onion bhaji, masala dosa, pani puri and vegan garlic naan. Unfortunately we were not blown away by the onion bhaji and masala dosa. Both were ok, but lacked a bit in flavour. The pani puri and garlic naan were very nice. I also had the vegan mango lassi, which was great! The staff is super friendly and all the food is made fresh.

It was soo yummy and fresh! Also happy that portion sizes were normal, so I felt nicely satisfied but not stuffed after dinner. Tofu paneer was so soft and nice, also loved the herbal tea. Also first time in Portugal that I could get a vegan lassi! Very pleased about that.

Davvero fantastico! Questo piccolo ristorante a conduzione familiare è eccezionale! Tutti i piatti vegetariano hanno il loro equivalente vegano e sono BUONISSIMI. I sapori sono davvero incredibili e i proprietari sono pronti a dare consigli sui piatti migliori.

Amazing little South Indian restaurant tucked away in the side streets of Portimão. Amazingly the only vegan friendly restaurant in the city, everything on the menu can be made vegan 🌱 very friendly staff, the food was immense!

Lovely staff, very friendly and attentive! The food is very tasty and all the dishes have vegan options. The dozas were my favourite and the mango lassy is a must try too Great experience! Updated from previous review on 2025-08-09

All dishes are in both options....you can choose between vegan or vegetarian. We love this place

Best vegan restaurant in Portugal...having more than 20 plates of vegan dishes....every thing amazing and freshly prepared...in small family run restaurant..Sonia is amazing chef

A tiny family owned restaurant offering all vegan dishes (with the option to make vegetarian, rather than the other way around). We had a tofu dish, Chana masala, and garlic naan. All wonderful! It’s the only vegan restaurant in Portimao open for dinner.

Amazing variety of vegan and vegetarian food

Lovely warm welcome and good is beautiful

The vegetarian and vegan food with lots of top quality and great flavours. We all liked it very much. Will come back again to try more dishes

Authentic very tasty Indian food from all over India. The best dishes.

Best vegan vegetarian restaurant in town!!

The food is divine. The staff is so kind and lovely. This restaurant feels like home. I’m definitely coming back here next time I’m in Portimao. My friends and I loved it.
