About Star Indian Restaurant (pizza & bar)
Star Indian Restaurant sits on Rua dos Mártires da Liberdade in Cedofeita, a casual spot that does what it does without fuss: proper Indian food at €15–20 a head. The owner, Gobind, greets you at the door and takes time to explain the menu—no rushing. The kitchen handles the basics exceptionally: butter chicken, lamb korma, chicken tikka masala arrive properly spiced and hot, with fresh naan and paratha made to order (reviewers note paratha is genuinely hard to find in Porto). Mango lassi comes cold and balanced. The room's casual, with music in the background, clean tables, and a counter where you can watch orders come through. Service is quick and kind. Reviewers consistently praise the food quality and the owner's warmth—one half-Indian customer called it "fantastic" and noted the spicing and freshness of ingredients stood out. No reservations required, though the venue does take them.
What Stands Out
Spicing and freshness done right
A half-Indian reviewer stated: "Perfectly spiced creamy and full of rich flavor. Really taste the freshness of the ingredients." Another noted: "So fragrant." Multiple reviews praise the spices and flavour depth.
Paratha you won't find elsewhere in Porto
A reviewer specifically noted: "They even made a traditional paratha which can be very hard to find at regular places." The owner makes it fresh—reviewers mention asking about the menu and being accommodated.
Owner presence and genuine hospitality
Reviewers describe Gobind as "very nice," "welcoming," "kind and accommodating," and note he "let me sat in my fav table" and provides drinks "without any rush." One review: "Very nice place! Chill with kind persons!"
