100 Things We Loved in the World of Food This Year

It’s been a delicious year in food. So exceptional, that we at Goya decided to share a list of the spots we found ourselves returning to again and again in 2025. This is by no means a definitive guide or a ranking; just a collection of the places we loved eating and drinking at, and the producers whose goods filled our pantries. We’ve also shared our go-to orders, so you know exactly what to get.

This compilation comes to you from the team: Joanna Lobo, Mradula Hegde, Ranveer Aujla, Dhvani Solani, Nachiket Pimprikar, Terrence Manne, Ananya Broker Parekh, Ambika Narayanan, and Anisha Rachel Oommen.

Here are the places that fed us, entertained us, inspired us, and yes, frequently drained our wallets. We don’t believe in gatekeeping the good stuff.
