The server at Satsanga was selective in the guests he treated with care and those he didn't. Food was only okay. I went there twice, and both times my food was only luke warm when I got it. Also, some items I ordered were forgotten but at least they didn't wind up on the bill either. The ambience is lovely... More

Last Sunday afternoon we went to this place and ordered a crepe, tomato and basil soup, roasted chicken and a beef fillet. All of them were tasty except the roasted chicken, which was not all the great. Also the service was quite fast (or maybe time passed quickly for me because I was with my beautiful wife ;). However, we... More

When you first walk it all seems nice and relaxing, maybe too relaxing. We had to wait 10 minutes before we were even given the menu and that was only after asking for it twice. Then we waited a further 20 minutes before a waiter came to take our drinks order. We order Kingfisher beer (brewed in India and almost... More

The restaurant is quite close to the beach and is very silent inside. You can have a very peaceful meal here. The ambience is good and the place looks more heritagish (new word...haha). Food and service is great. Quite economical too... The only issue is mosquitos... they at times really make you feel uncomfortable. More

Service not great, though food was fine when it arrived, even if my friend didn't get hers until I had finished mine. More

I went for lunch one day and had the beef fillet; then went back the next day to have the same again, which I think says it all! Good service and the place has a lovely ambience. More

What they do is this. They print your bill and leave off some of your liquor, like a glass of wine. You pay and the waiter counts the money. He never looks at the bill, he just counts the money! Then he says he "accidentally," left a glass of wine off the bill. How does he know that he left... More

We went to Satsanga Sunday evening - we easily found a table for 2 at the roof terrasse. We had a nice easygoing waiter who provided fast service. We were very happy with the food and also the wine was tasty! So - one of the better places to dine in India :) More

Visited for lunch. The starter Shrimp cocktail was not great and was more of cabbage with bits of shrimps thrown in and was pricey (Rs.150/-) considering the quantity served of just a handful. However, the two main dishes - Fish in the oven with basil and Sole Meuniere (Rs.275/-) were excellent in terms of taste, cooking and quantity. The quality... More
