The Restaurant

Nestled in the vibrant Pali Hill area of Bandra, Mumbai, La Loca Maria has risen above its humble beginnings as a neighbourhood restaurant to establish itself as a renowned culinary destination in the city. In 2019, the name “La Loca Maria” was born, with “la loca” translating to “the crazy,” paying homage to Chef Manuel Olveira’s mother, who ignited his passion for cooking from a young age.
