  • I'm Business man for the gold and diamond
  • Situated in the centre of town a place where you can get most of the veggies you need though slightly overpriced as compared to Bandim or Chaapa but you can avoid the dirt slush crowd and the constant jostling.
  • It's not easy to beat down the price
  • Good place for gifts.
  • Nice chill spot
