Khotachiwadi () is a heritage village in Girgaon, Mumbai, India. Houses generally conform to the old-Portuguese style architecture.
==Etymology== The name "Khotachiwadi" translates to "Khot's wadi (orchard)". The village was founded in the late 18th century on land owned by Waman Hari ‘Khot’ (local supervisor), a member of the Pathare Prabhu community, who sold plots of the land to local East Indian families. It was also fondly known as 'Old Goa in Mumbai'. There used to be 65 of these houses, now reduced to 28 as old buildings are being pulled down to make way for new skyscrapers.
