Sol de Goa is the happiest place to be in the heart of a Goa that never changes. Here, amid the fields, overlooking the lazy river is everything you’ve wanted to truly unwind. My suite which overlooked the green fields was just the kind of...room you dig for.. windows in each part of the room offered great views, the top shot of the pool on one side, the pool deck on the other, the small river on yet another side and a huge balcony that encapsulates the whole feel.. sitting and watching the sunset from there has been one of the best experiences..
After enjoying the sunset, I headed for a quick bath and got ready for the lovely evening that was waiting.
As I went down at the deck, the entire setting seemed magical, beautiful table layouts, candle lights, the reflection of lights in the pool and soulful Jazz music by a band named Orleans.
It was all fantastic. As my other friends joined in at the table, we started with what I can say was a mind-blowing culinary journey and riot of flavors.
Our menu comprised of:
Cocktail
Chilli Coco Pine- a drink made with white rum, pineapple juice, coconut syrup, and green chilies and it was amazing.
Starters
Pepper Rasam- Red snapper ceviche served in a puri with chilled rasam shots.
Camembert En Croute With Tomato Thoku And Coriander Chutney
Beef Seekh Kebab
Calamari Pepper Fry
Main Course
Murg Afgani With Lachha Parantha
Meen Chettinad With Coconut Curry And Kosambri Salad
Tandoori Spiced Pork Belly With Mango Chutney
Cranberry Kofta With Lachha Parantha
Dessert
Guava Cheese And Ricotta With Profiteroles
Gulab Jamun With Gelato
Well, now what words do I use to describe the food, I basically have just one word that it was amazing. We all had a tough time deciding what was the best, there was barely a difference, each and every item was delicious. But still to give you some grading, I would say that the Camembert was the best dish of the evening unanimously for all present, and the meen chettinad came a close second. Put everything else on the number 3 and I am sure you will get an idea about the kind of food experience I am talking about.
So just head to Sol De Goa to experience great hospitality and awesome food.. I am sure you will love it
This place is truly a getaway that you can dream of.. small, cosy and personalised feeling with such hospitable staff, I enjoyed my stay thoroughly and look forward to more visits in the time to comeMore
