№ 02 — The Story

Six years in, still cooking the way Mandeep wanted to in 2019.

De Baga opened on Otley Road in 2019 — a small Goan dining room with a tandoor, a cocktail bar, and a determination not to be another curry house. Three years later we expanded to Chapel Allerton.

Owner Mandeep Singh spent years on the inside of food delivery before stepping out of it: the menu reflects what gets ordered when no one is taking 30% off the top. Head chef Clive Silveira brings the Goan and Konkani regional dishes — Lamb Xacuti, Balchão King Prawns, Mankios Fry, NH66 Mutton Curry — that don't appear on most UK Indian menus.

The food is modern. The hospitality is Goan. The brand is gold on coffee‑brown — a tiger and a palm — and we mean every line of it.
