Went for the Goan fish thali, that curry was proper flavourful. Tandoor wings were smoky, cooked well. Friend got the chicken sizzler, looked good, tasted decent too. Place was busy but service was quick. Solid spot if you&#39;re around and want something different. Not mind-blowing but did the job.

Tucked away from the tourist rush. Goan-Portuguese food was solid, not too spicy. Good spot for a quick, peaceful lunch.

Decent beach shack on a quieter stretch of North Goa. Butter garlic mushroom was pretty good, spring rolls fine too. Sunset view from the beach made it worth stopping by.

The kingfish thali here is solid. Two fried pieces, fresh, with curry and rice for ₹250. Can&#39;t complain about that price. Simple food, tasted good. Nothing fancy but it hit the spot for a quick lunch.

The knafeh here is seriously good &mdash; warm, cheesy, just the right amount of sweet. Arabic coffee on the side made it even better. Cozy little spot, felt like sitting in someone&#39;s living room.

The eclair was genuinely soft&mdash;like, melt-in-your-mouth soft. I wasn&#39;t expecting much from a random caf&eacute; stop, but it surprised me. Place has that rustic, cozy vibe, and the person at the counter was friendly enough. Just note it&#39;s seasonal, so hours can be tricky. Worth checking before you head over.

The owner bakes the desserts herself&mdash;lemon meringue and blueberry cheesecake both hit the spot. I&rsquo;d come back just for those, honestly. Portions were decent for the price, and the meal itself held up fine. A glass of Sauvignon Blanc with the cheesecake worked surprisingly well. Place gets a bit busy later in the evening, but that didn&rsquo;t bother me much.

Been here twice now. Chicken thukpa was proper, not too oily. Drums of heaven had that nice spicy kick, though they took a while to come out. Place gets busy around 8, so go early if you want a quiet table. Decent change from the usual Goan spots nearby.

Stopped by for a cold beer and some seafood. Fish was fresh, batter had a nice crunch. Prices fair for the portion. Staff pointed me to the grilled prawns instead of the fried ones &mdash; good call. Sat outside watching the waves, pretty chill afternoon. Only downside, took a while to get the bill.

Crab meat soup was proper good, and that Goenchin delight cocktail hit the spot. Only thing is the seating feels a bit tight and lights are too low to see the food properly. But honestly, solid Chinese spot in Panjim if you want decent portions without burning a hole in your pocket.

Butter chicken was proper rich, not too sweet like some places. Paneer tikka masala had that smoky taste, decent portion too. Asked for gluten-free option and they handled it without making a fuss. Menu&#39;s got plenty of variety but honestly I stick to my usuals. Place gets busy around 8, so go a bit early if you want a quiet table.

The old banyan tree makes this place feel so calm. Food&#39;s decent but spring rolls were tiny for what they charge. Service was proper Taj style though.

The Ros omelette had a proper spicy kick, and the gravy was rich enough to mop up with bread. Solid breakfast stop with a European vibe. Service was friendly too. Would&#39;ve liked a cold beer to go with it, but it&#39;s a bit early for that.

Came here for the sunset and honestly the vibe was so chill. They set up tables right on the sand in the evening, which I didn&rsquo;t expect. Sunbeds were comfy enough to just lie there for hours. Only thing&mdash;service gets a bit slow once it gets busy, but the sea breeze makes up for it 🌊

Good spread at the breakfast buffet. Plenty of veg options. Mr. Deepak kept the table cleared and coffee topped up. Solid spot for a quick bite before heading out.

Stopped here after walking through the market. Coffee was fresh, pastry was good. Cozy little spot right on the main street. Service was warm, no complaints. Fine for a quick break if you&#39;re in the area.

The king chilli sauce here is seriously fiery, like proper heat that stays with you. I ordered the crispy fried aubergine on the side and it balanced things out nicely. Seating area felt a bit cramped though, not much room between tables. But if you want spicy food, this place does it right.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Got the classic cheesecake with mango coulis &mdash; pretty solid, not too sweet. Staff left me alone which I appreciate. Maybe next time I&#39;ll try the seafood. Place works for a relaxed bite.

Decent place for a beachside dinner. We sat on the sand, candlelit tables and all. Chicken wings and lollipops were pretty good, nothing fancy but satisfying. It&rsquo;s a nice spot to chill after sunset, though the bill runs a bit high for what you get. Fine for a one-off visit.

The tiger prawns were properly big, not those tiny ones you get everywhere. Grilled just right, juicy inside. Had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc with it, worked well. Sitting right by the beach, waves doing their thing in the dark. Service was a bit slow between courses but honestly didn&#39;t mind much. Would come back for those prawns.
