Visited the restaurant for lunch on a Sunday & was told that there was a 30 minute wait. Since it was just 12.45 pm, we decided that we would wait for 30 minutes since the reviews were so amazing. It took us 1 hr 15...minutes to get a table. Till then we were standing in a hot congested & over crowded waiting area. The restaurant itself is very dirty. The entire place stinks from the foul smell emerging from the bathroom. We ordered a prawns thali, mori(shark thali) and kingfish thali. Food was below average. No taste at all. I had huge expectations considering the long waiting queues & hype but was very disappointed. They charge Rs450 plus taxes per thali. The quantity of items served in the thali was very less. Rice is served later when you ask for it. Sweet dish is also served later only when you ask about it. Right from the curry to solkadi to fish fry to gulab jamun was tasteless & sub par. Nor do they have any ambience. So how can they justify such a high price?? Famous restaurants in Goa charge less price for fish thali where quantity, quality & ambience is so good. We vistited another restaurant called as Malvan Food Station at Chivala beach hotel. This restaurant is at 2 mins walking distance from Atithi Bamboo. The place is very clean and well ventilated. Polite helpful staff. Moreover food is very delicious, quick service & large serving quantity. Price is also very less than Atithi Bamboo. We ended up eating all of our remaining meals at Food Station. Also got some Malvani chicken curry parcelled for our trip back to Goa. The food was that yummy. Will definitely recommend Food Station restaurant at hotel chivala beach. Athithi Bamboo is a huge AVOID!!More
