The Goan Poie
Brand Owner: Aaron D’souza
Instagram Handle: @thegoanpoie
About the Brand
The Goan Poie was started in September 2020 by Aaron D’souza a graduate of Hotel Management. After specializing in F&B, Aaron completed 10 years in the industry post which he worked as the Manager at Lord of the Drink, Lower Parel.
It was only after the lockdown did Aaron find his calling. This led to the creation of The Goan Poie. He lost his father at a very young age of 8 years, but distinctively remembers the taste of his fathers home-cooked curries, something that helped mould his taste buds.
The Goan Poie according to Aaron brings out the traditional Goan Cuisine but with a kicker by experimenting and making the dish his own. He adds his unique touches and has often been told that his cooking reminds his clients of food cooked by their late grandparents.
Aaron mentions that he finds meaning and soul in his cooking and this always helps keep himself distracted from the commotion of the outside world.
