Good honest Indian food

Feb 2020 • none

Currently on holiday and wouldn’t normally bother to write a review until we got home, but it was so good had to make an exception and interrupt our hols. Ate here two nights ago and was very good. Amongst the best we have had so far in Candolim. Waiter/manager was also not just helpful with advice, but dead honest. We were hungry and in danger of ordering the shop when he stopped us. Told us we didn’t need our plate of mixed kebabs and chicken tikka on top of the 2 curries, 1 rice and a naan we’d ordered for the two of us. Said it would be too much. He was right. We were stuffed on what we had and it was tasty too. He was also spot on with his recommendations when we told him what sort of things we liked and didn’t. Pricing was fair and nice to go to a restaurant where they gave you honest advice even if it meant less for them. We’ll be back. Ps have you noticed how the good rating reviews are from people with lots of contributions and the 1 star ones from people who have only ever posted once. What do you reckon that they are fakes or rivals?

Good food & hospitality

Nov 2020 • couples

Restuarant is situated on the Candolim road. Good peaceful ambiance to enjoy your meal. The staff is very good. We tried Goan Masala Squids and Butter Garlic Prawns (both recommended by the staff). You would find these dishes at every single joint in Goa, but we were amazed by the taste as if was completely different, especially the Pranws and later they did reveal - they had added some herbs 🤩 All this at a very reasonable price. Owner Patrick - friendly guy. Would surely recommend this place if u are around Candolim/Calagute side and looking for a good goan food at an affordable price.

So good we went back for more.

Dec 2019 • none

We ate here on our first night in Goa as it was really convenient for our hotel. We were impressed at how attentive they were and how willing they were to accommodate our needs - adjusting the strength of the curries to suit my aged mother-in-law to start with. My niece recommends the mixed kebabs as being amazing!

Pathetic service and rude behavior

Jan 2020 • none

Please never visit this place. They don't respect customers especially Indian customers. Their food was bad which someone can tolerate but bad behavior no one can tolerate after paying money. We complained about their service, staff was not listening and then they started fighting and arguing with us. We left the place as we were not in a mood to spoil our vacation and we were standing just outside restaurant on footpath and then staff misbehaved with us. They started shouting to go away. They told us to not to come to Goa. Goa is not your father's property if you are reading this. With some more customers and other tourists also they were fighting. Avoid going this place. Would have given negative rating if possible.

Sir as far as we remember you were under the influence of alcohol and abusive to my fellow Indian workmate and as per our restaurant policy we will not allow anyone to enter our restaurant who is drunk and abusive taking safety of our customers into consideration

Not worth at all

Jan 2021 • couples

After reading some mixed reviews, we decided to find out ourselves. Service is very slow, waiter was courteous, food was average. ordered chicken wings and goan sausage chili fry for starters. Wings were good but chili fry was average. Beef steak and seafood sizzler for main course, steak was average but sizzler was pathetic. For the price sizzler had only 4 calamari rings, 2 small pieces of fish n 2 prawns with big heads to make it look bigger, rest was all peppers n onions. Very average tasting. Ambience is nice as it's right on the road. Recommend only chicken wings n nothing else.

Very rude behaviour of staff and manager

Jan 2020 • family

The manager of restaurant was very rude and couldnt respect or regard indian customer. He served felthy food and when aksed for replacement, they simply say, it's not our policy. He also rudely say " We are doing business for the last 20 years. They also behave rudely with foreign customer. Dont recommend to anyone. And one more thing to their manager - Sadak aur parking tere baap ki nahi hai. So nichi awaaz me baat kiya karo. Customer Bhagwan hota hai aur Bhagwan na samaj to insan samja kar. Kisi din kisi aam aadmi ki satak gai na...

Great place. Completely delighted withthe food and people managing the place. You can try anything on the menu and it will turn out to be amazing. On a 4 day trip I and my group came here almost everyday for a meal and were satisfied every single time. Also, the music they play is simply amazing which is a big big add on. Do visit.

You will not be disappointed here, great food.

Feb 2020 • none

We stayed in Candolim for just 7 days and visited this restaurant twice because it was so good. The first time my daughter had the steak....the second time, we all had steak!! Cooked to perfection and its a nice sized piece. A group of 4 sat at the table next to us and also all ordered steak after eyeing up our plates. Perhaps not the cheapest place to eat compared to the rest but its worth it. Steak cost was about £6 so who's complaining.

One of the best tourist restaurants in town

Mar 2023 • none

This was one of the few restaurants in Candolim where we ate twice as the food was so good. Like a few places here it tries to please all people and serves both local and western food. We went for Indian food on both occasions and were not disappointed. They have their own tandoor oven which makes brilliant Chicken Tika and Chicken tandoori , in fact we had this twice as it is just amazing. Tried their spicy Goan veg curry made with coconut with was lovely and their Tal Tadka is very good too. Highly recommend this place, service is excellent and good value for money

Bad pricing and bad food

Mar 2024 • family

The prawn curry had stale prawns which was raw as is (not fried) and the curry was grainy as if it was prepared with sand. Charging 200% more for a water bottle is heights. MRP of 20 Rs but they are charging 38.10 Rs for it

Great experience with my Family.

Feb 2024 • family

We actually located this restaurant on the main busy candolim street, Where all restaurants are mainly overcrowded & noisy but this place looked welcoming and comforting as we were family of five. We ordered some Indian starters with juices & burgers for the kids which were well prepared along with their polite & courteous service. The restaurant has a very soothing playlist for the atmosphere. Also recommend you to try their goan cuisine of which their fish fillet fry & prawns xacuti/rice was of top notch. Not to forget the diversity this place offers as you can see foreigners and our local Indians are welcomed equally and treated alike. We’ll surely visit again.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Discrimination and only allows white non Indian people

Feb 2024 • family

This place discriminates as they only give table to white peoples . There were empty tables but the manager just refused to give table to our family and friends (two couples and two kids) but when we were returning the manager offered same table to a white non Indian couple who came without reservation. When we objected to manager he got agitated that we can’t challenge them on whom they want to offer a table. I told him it’s not good to discriminate based on nations and that too in our own country but he got further rude and very angry on this question.

Staff were very nice.didnt think much of the breakfast sausages were spicy and didn't look cooked think they were boiled in wate

Dec 2024 • couples

Not too bad food average two breakfasts and two cakes £17 think it was a bit steep for boiled sausage that were spicy. Staff don't try to get you in off the streets that's a good thing. They have a smoking and no smoking tables that's a good idea only place i know that does that. The evening meals are quite nice the beef was a bit tough but the mash potato was too die for never tasted mash like it (brilliant)
