Walk through a page of your history books while visiting this fort. Situated right next to the Arabian Sea, the Fort also houses a lighthouse and a viaduct. Although the Fort itself is small in size, it remains a significant visit while in North Goa. The ticket price is 25 INR and you can buy online tickets from Archaeological Survey of India website. If you are willing to buy tickets from the Fort itself, they charge the same in the ticket counter, but take only cash. Additionally, you can visit a lighthouse that is situated roughly 100m from the fort where you can go right to the top and enjoy amazing views of the sea. Parking is also available for scooters and cars alike.

Goa Forts are among the most beautiful historical attractions in the state, each offering a mix of heritage, scenic beauty, and ocean views.

We recently visited Fort Aguada, and it’s definitely one of those places that blends history, scenic beauty, and a calm seaside atmosphere all in one spot. The fort itself is over 400 years old, built by the Portuguese, and still stands strong overlooking the Arabian Sea. The view from the ramparts is absolutely stunning, especially around sunset — you can see the vast sea, nearby beaches, and the old lighthouse which adds to the charm. It’s a great spot for photography and quiet reflection away from the usual beach crowds. However, it’s worth knowing that the accessible area is smaller than you might expect, and there isn’t much in terms of exhibits or detailed historical displays — it’s more of an open structure with ruins and walls. Facilities like restrooms or food stalls are limited, so plan accordingly. Still, I really appreciated the peaceful vibe, panoramic views, and the historical aura of the place. It’s best enjoyed early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat and crowds. ⭐ Overall rating: 4/5 ✅ Best for: History lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys sea views ⚠️ Tip: Carry water, wear comfortable shoes, and visit around sunset for the best experience

We visited Fort Aguada — As per suggestions I and my wife arrived early (9am) and were the first one to entre the fort which felt like it was all for us. We took this opportunity to quickly click few memorable photos at the spot of our liking without anyone around. This is about 400-year-old Portuguese Fort that beautifully combines history, seaside charm, and scenic views. Overlooking the huge Arabian Sea, it offers stunning panoramas, especially at early morning and at sunset, with its old lighthouse adding to the allure. The Fort’s tranquil vibe and breathtaking views make it worth a visit. Best enjoyed early morning around 9-10am (At opening time) to beat the heat and crowds. Entry fee is ₹25/- Per Adult Person. Toilet are neat, clean and well maintained.

Fort Aguda, 17th C Portugese fort constructed in 1612, on Sinquerim Beach, to guard against the Marathas and the Dutch. A freshwater spring of the fort, provided water to the ships which would stop by. Perhaps this was the reason of its name , since Aguda means Watery. The lighthouse was built in 1612 used to hold 79 cannons in one go. Other than a quiet relevant walk around the almost silent area, we neither could reach any entrances to the dungeon entry, nor any of the secret passages. Perhaps they were indeed 'Very well Hidden'. The feel of this high risen place was rather quiet peaceful. As an after thought I realized, that it could be due to its name, that it felt calm, cool and silent like some passive waters. Extremely Apt.

Sinquerium beach is located near the point where Fort Aquada was constructed in the 1600s. There are life guards on duty, but much of the area has strong waves with a powerful undertow making unsafe for swimming. Some people stand in waist deep water. We were there the first week of October, so towards the end of the rainy season. Workers were just starting to build restaurant areas for the season. They build them every year for the 6 month season of tourism. The heavy typhoon rains and sandy foundation do not permit them to keep the buildings up all year. We included some photos of the foundation, so that you can feel secure when you are dining there later. Near the lower Aguade fort, there are many spots for parking your motorbike. 500 meters down the road is a parking spot for taxis, busses and cars. There is a parking fee. We saw at least a dozen dogs running themselves, with the face pointed away from the sun. They were quiet, not barking or chasing people. Great place for watching the sunsets. Lots of benches and beach chairs available for rent so you are not sitting directly in the sand.

it's only 750m away from summerville resort..You can go by walk through the very small alley great view less crowded n very peaceful beach... we were really exhausted by our long way travel from Bangalore to goa but when we visited here we got relaxed.. we saw the sunrise..it was magnificent... heavenly place must visit

Boat ride is good... Dolphins are visible most of the time. Also a palace and agoda fort is shown

Near and clean.compared to Calangute and baga. Near Taj hotel and lower Agauda fort. So the beauty is doubled. You get options of water ride here too and it's less crowded. It is a.combination of rock and sand beach.

Best part of the goa is,goa has so many beaches and your vibe can match with any of them beach, we came here on diwali vacation and have great time on this beach good view great drinks good vibe

Visiting Sinquerim Beach was an amazing experience! The beach is clean, serene, and perfect for relaxing or enjoying the sea breeze. The calm waters and beautiful surroundings make it a must-visit spot in Goa.

Pros: Nice view in evening, Cons: no others like scuba diving,boating and other facilities just if u need a small walk it's worth.

• Candolim Beach is truly beautiful & serene compared to the more crowded beaches of Goa. • With its golden-white sands & blue-green waters, it’s a perfect spot to relax, unwind & enjoy some fun beach activities. • The beach is clean, peaceful & offers a calm vibe away from the hustle & bustle.

Very very very pretty beach. Loved it. Went at the sunrise time so it was not crowded. Great place to take beachy pictures. But I'll recommend to visit during sunset time to view the sunset. Overall it was a very good morning.

Candolim beach sits right at the heart of North Goa. The beach itself is very clean and you can sit at the sunbeds under an umbrella and enjoy the sea with a drink in your hand. Several shacks are also available that come alive in the evening. It is quieter than Baga beach. So, if you are looking for a peaceful vibe but still want to enjoy the party atmosphere, Candolim beach is the right choice for you. Scooter parking takes 40 INR and there are plenty of shops and restaurants next to the beach where you can enjoy live music.

One of the most beautiful, golden sand and clean water beach of North Goa. Very peaceful, and less crowded . A favorite spot of people like me who want to spend good, fun time with family and friends. Relaxing vibes overall. Also you'll get tasty food with live music in beach shacks and restaurants around. The souvenir shops are also good for shopping. Awesome overall !! Will visit again.

It was great. Way better than chennai and it was a good family place where you can visit with your family. The watersports in the candolim are great except some scammers. The parking space is heavy and you can have either your car or bike parked in the paid parking safely.

It's a nice calm beach compared to the busy Baga and Calangute beaches. Lots of beach shacks and many tasteful restaurants. Overall an awesome place. I am seeing foam in beach now a days. Not sure what it means for the sea.

Candolim Beach is one of the cleanest and most peaceful beaches in North Goa. It’s less crowded than Baga or Calangute, making it perfect for relaxing walks and sunsets. The soft sand, gentle waves, and beach shacks offering great food and drinks create a calm, refreshing vibe. Water sports are available too, but the beach still feels serene and well maintained. Ideal for those who want a quieter and more scenic beach experience in Goa.

I attended the mass on Sunday morning 8:15 am, a very quaint and quiet church amidst all the noisy tourist shuttling at the foot of the church. They conduct masses in English , Portuguese , mixed mass and even Marathi and Konkani. This structure still holds the history of the Portuguese invaders. There are multiple ways to getting to the church which i figured I wont tell here since tourists do tourist stuff! This church boasts friendly priests, short and sweet masses, and extremely kid friendly activities that the church is aiming to involve more. I pray this beautiful church continues holding its legacies for centuries to come.

Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church, Goa Iconic white church in Panjim. Famous for its beautiful zigzag staircases and Portuguese Baroque architecture. It's the heart of the city and offers great sunset views. A stunning, must-see landmark.

Visited this very famous church right in the heart of Panaji on 11/11/2025, couldn't go inside due to renovation work going on, just before last flight of stairway we were stopped by a lady informing us about renovation but offered us candle (₹25/- each) so we took two, lit it and came back down as photography is prohibited up here. People say It's beautiful during evening sunset time. If you are interested in some historical details then do continue reading. The Church of the Immaculate Conception in Goa, with its pristine white Baroque facade and grand zigzag staircase, symbolizes the Virgin Mary. Built in 1609 over an earlier 1541 chapel which was built for Portuguese sailors arriving in Goa, it houses the famed Augustinian Bell (The Second Largest in Goa) It was moved from the ruins of the Church of Our Lady of Grace in Old Goa in 1871. Its simple interior features altars to Mother Mary, Jesus’ Crucifixion, and Our Lady of the Rosary. A Goan cultural icon near Fontainhas, the church shines brightest during the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8th. Cultural Significance: The church is a significant cultural symbol and has been featured in several Bollywood films due to its picturesque architecture and scenic location. The area around it is a hub of Goan culture and is close to the historic Fontainhas (Latin Quarter). Shouldn't miss if you visit Goa.

We visited Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church in Panjim, and it was truly a beautiful experience. The white church stands gracefully on a hill, offering a stunning view of the city. The architecture is elegant, and the atmosphere inside is calm and peaceful — perfect for taking a moment to sit and pray. We also took a lot of great photos around the church, especially with its famous zigzag stairs and scenic backdrop. The place looks even more magical in the evening when it’s beautifully lit up. Overall, a must-visit landmark in Goa — peaceful, photogenic, and full of charm. ✨

Visited the Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church during my trip to Panjim, and it’s definitely one of the must-visit spots in the city. The bright white church with its beautiful zig-zag staircase looks stunning, especially against the blue Goan sky — a perfect place for photos! You can’t go inside the church, but the exterior itself is worth the visit. Built in the early 1600s, it’s one of the oldest churches in Goa and was originally a small chapel for sailors arriving from Lisbon

It’s a good place to visit — you can come here early in the morning or around midnight when it’s less crowded. Due to certain restrictions, entry inside the church is not allowed, but you can still enjoy the beautiful view from outside.

A beautiful and well-maintained church in Goa- Our Lady of Immaculate Church (a favourite destination of Bollywood directos). However, it got closed at 12:30 pm. It is advisable to check the opening and closing time on Google before visiting the church. If late, you will have to take photos outside the premises and as 3 crowded streets meet at this point, it's not advisable to pose for the photos here. There are shops nearby where you may get jewellery, clothes, purses, magnetic show pieces, belts, etc. at a very reasonable rate.

If you're looking for a top-notch mall in Goa that offers a wide range of amenities, I'd recommend checking out *Mall De Goa* This three-storey mall boasts over 80 retail outlets from famous clothing brands, a food court, and a multiplex cinema. You'll find everything from high-end clothing to regional crafts, making it a must-visit for shopping enthusiasts. Overall, Mall De Goa is an excellent choice for those seeking a comprehensive shopping and entertainment experience in Goa.

Good Mall. You can find all good brand stores. Food court is nice with ample of seating arrangements. Ambiance is quite good. Lots of shops and franchises. There is fun zone for everyone and also Go fresh store for daily needs. You can hangout with family and friends. So I recommend this place for shopping fun, relaxation and enjoyment.

Mall de Goa is a nice place to spend a few hours with almost all major brands under one roof. The only thing I felt was that even though the mall has many well-known stores, the collection in most of them is very Goa-specific. Good for tourists, but if you’re looking for more pan-India styles or regular everyday wear, the options feel a bit limited. Food court and parking are decent, and overall it’s a comfortable mall to visit. Just wish the stores stocked a wider variety of clothing choices. Also u don’t go to goa for shopping also Baga beach bazar is better

Mall De Goa in Porvorim is one of the go-to shopping destinations in the area. It offers a great mix of popular brand stores along with plenty of options for daily needs. The food court is well-planned, with ample seating and a variety of choices to satisfy different tastes. The overall ambiance is modern, spacious, and welcoming. Whether you’re looking to shop, grab a meal, or just relax and hang out with family and friends, Mall De Goa has something for everyone. Definitely a recommended spot for shopping, leisure, and entertainment in North Goa.

It's the best mall. Coming to parking there is underground parking need to wait for 15-30min regarding the availability. Charges 30 for parking

Mall de Goa is truly one of the best shopping destinations in the region! It offers a perfect blend of international and local brands, making it easy to find whatever you’re looking for, whether it’s fashion, electronics, or home essentials. The variety of stores ensures that there’s something for everyone. I also love the food court—it has a great selection of eateries, from fast food to more upscale options. There’s always something new to try, and the atmosphere is lively and welcoming. Instagram handle : @saviathebakecook

Mall De Goa was amazing 😍! We went there last year on our tuition trip to Goa and stopped by on the way. The mall is super cool, but we enjoyed the games the most. The horror show was terrifying but so much fun—I was both scared and laughing 😂! Totally worth it, I loved it!

While the view is nice, beach facing and pretty scenes, the rudeness of the service staff is applaudable. We were served extremely cold soup and when we pointed it out, he made a dirty face and said "it is so hot". Also after taking our order of breads after 30 minutes he returns saying we don't have that particular bread. The food is also average at best. The xacuti didn't feel unique at all and lacked flavour overall. Avoid.

Very nice venue to visit. The prices are not too expensive here and it has a nice relaxing feel, just being on the beach. The service was good here and wasn't rushed, so if you are in a relaxed mood - sit back, have a cocktail, and watch the the entertaining sights of the beach/jet skis and boats. Thank you for the service and enjoyable cocktails 😀

Bobby’s Shack has a really nice vibe and a great location right by the beach — perfect to chill. The place itself is good, but the pricing was on the higher side, especially for the kingfish compared to other shacks around Goa, but it was good size. Tried the prawns — they were decent, but the masala could’ve had a bit more punch. Still, not a bad spot overall if you’re looking to hang out by the beach.

Peaceful and chill place. I sat here for more than an hour. The music choice is perfect.

Lovely experience .. had dinner by beach side.. the food was awesome and so were their cocktails and mocktails. Special mention to Harish Bhai who was running around table taking care of needs of his customers. Had great time munching on various chicken and seafood starters. They have a lovely dog Toby who was quite friendly in contrast to his looks.

Worth to explore their food. Grabbed few chicken starters and sea food starters. All were really tasty. Service was excellent. Harish bhai was so friendly and quick in response. Their mocktails were also super. Overall a fantastic experience.

Dis shack is located at candolim beach in goa its 45 mins drive from mapusa taxi stand one of the pleasant and less crowded beach of goa if u ask abt ambience than its really cool and beautiful not very noisy and staff is very friendly and co operative one more thing they dont serve pork or beef so we selected this place for dinner ..we ordered chicken white cheese pasta it was the best white sauce pasta i had in time full of chicken and cream with olives but little oily so i asled dem to prepare it in less oil and to the point it was yummiest if u r white pasta sauce lover than this place is for u i ordered chicken steak it was ok ok in taste not great was sweet in taste i asked them to prepare little spicy so on request they did but not great yes i requested to put more vegetables and they acknowledged that was really good gesture of staff i really loved the place u can try on ur trip to goa they wont disappoint u little expensive

I had the pleasure of having lunch at this charming restaurant with a warm, rustic ambiance that immediately made me feel relaxed and welcome. The decor struck the perfect balance between cozy and refined — a great setting for a leisurely meal. I tried a variety of dishes, starting with the red snapper fillet paired with cheese and wine, which was delicately prepared and flavorful without overpowering the natural taste of the fish. The roast beef tongue was a pleasant surprise — tender and well-seasoned, showing the kitchen's skill with less common cuts. The beef pepper steak rounded out the meal beautifully with its bold flavors and perfectly cooked meat. Overall, the food was thoughtfully presented and satisfying. Combined with the inviting atmosphere, it made for a memorable lunch. I’d definitely consider returning to explore more of the menu.

Loved the food and the service! A lovely old world charm about the place. We had the grilled lobster, hand cut fries, chocolate mousse and highly recommend all!

Went here in July 2025. A cozy place to be in, specially in the pleasant Goan monsoons. It’s basically a traditional Goan home converted to a restaurant/ pub with an antique yet warm feel to it. I loved the ambience. Specially the small verandah sitting areas. We had the Prawn rissois which were alright (less batter more filling would have been nice). The chicken lemon coriander soup was amazing, a clear soup with just the right amount of herbs and flavours, a strong start to the meal. The chicken cafreal served with stir fry veggies and fries was awesome, the cafreal flavour not very intense, yet very much satisfying, the chicken marinated and cooked perfectly. Can have bread/poi with this. The seafood spaghetti pasta however, was the star of the show. The prawns, squid and fish felt at place with the spaghetti which was lightly flavoured with seafood and olive oil. The flavours subtle, yet very much there. Truly a treat to the taste buds. This was a clear winner for me. We also had their chocolate banana shake which was nice as well. An afternoon well spent.

Visited for old times sake of a family member. It is a small eatery, with the old Goa vibes. The food options were very Portuguese Goan and tasted good. Laid-back, not crowded at all. Not many seen to be aware of this old gem. Whether it's true or not, the bar room has graffiti all over the wall, which some claim is from the hippy days.

Quintessential old Goa charm. Great service, great food, great ambience. Loved it all. A special shout out to Hedrich, Vishal and co, who whipped up a lip-smacking set of dishes. Oh, do try out their cocktails infused with local Goan pheni... Loved em all! Their Bibenka with ice-cream is the best I've had so far.

A very quiet place with amazing food and atmosphere. The cafe looks very interesting and the food was very different and delicious. Would highly recommend their Portuguese dishes and Serradura

A typical Goan bar housed in a building which belongs to the Portuguese times. Got great heritage vibes. The bar has nice little cute balconies. The area very much feels like a Portuguese town..

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PLACE! MUST TRY THEIR PIZZAS. The place is an absolute gem for eating out. I never had a better pizza than this place. Service was fast. Very spacious eating place. High quality and well-priced food. Quite elaborate menu. The entire atmosphere, chill vibe, peaceful environment. Will love to visit again.

The overall vibe was amazing with a really warm and friendly staff. The pizza was good (though we ended up ordering the wrong one), and the other items were delicious. Great variety on the menu with plenty of options for each dish. Definitely worth a visit!

This restaurant has a nice ambience, but is subjected to a lot of road noise and dust. A concrete mixer was churning right across the street, when we arrived for lunch and we opted to sit inside, which is a bit dark and dimly lit. Our waiter did his job, but was unenthusiastic, didn’t smile and when we walked in, he just stared at us. We had to ask him if they were open. I had to point out the vegan item he missed on the menu. Though it came quickly, the food was not seasoned well and lacked balance in flavor. Portions are very small. We asked for additional rocket and chili oil so we could season the food ourselves. It’s nice that they have a four vegan options on their menu including a decent sized vegan margarita pizza. We added mushrooms to it and it was thin and crispy. The sauce base could be better. As one of the only Italian places in the area with an extensive menu, there’s lots of potential.

We had a wonderful time today, visiting this place was a great experience, and the dinner was absolutely delightful. The pasta with pink sauce was delicious, but the highlight of the evening was definitely the tiramisu cake — we loved it! Thank you:)

Amazing taste!! Their whole menu is reasonable and the food does absolute justice. It’s cozy inside, and it was pouring when we were about to leave, just sat and soaked in the vibes. Do try their Italian Pina Colada, not so thick but the coconut cream they used was so rich and flavourful. Also their Tiramisu is reasonable and very tasty. Definitely visiting again.

The food is authentic and hits the right spot. Not too bland, not too heavy on the buds. Highly recommended. Dishes we had - aglio olio, pizza, coffees and hummus.

Tuscany Gardens is a lovely Italian restaurant with a calm and pleasant vibe. The food was delicious, with a perfect blend of Italian flavors and Indian spices. The staff were polite, and the service was quick. The best part is that the rates were quite reasonable for such tasty food. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy a cozy and flavorful meal.

Myself and my husband returned here this year after finding this golden place last year. I can positively say we were not disappointed. We would go as far to say that this is our favourite restaurant in the world. We were utterly impressed with every single thing during our dining experience. The staff are amazing and so attentive. Nothing is ever too much of an ask for them. Their food is absolutely delicious. The value for money here is next to none. We are here in Goa for one week and whilst visiting on our second night we have already booked to visit again on our last and final night. Ending our holiday with a high as we know it at Amavi. We would recommend this restaurant to anybody who we knew were visiting north Goa. Well done to all staff who work at Amavi by Sumera.

Our whole experience here was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so welcoming and kind. The staff were incredibly patient while answering all our (many) questions about the menu and were always right there when we needed something without ever hovering. The food was absolutely delicious — you can really tell it’s made with care and fresh ingredients. Every dish that came out was even better than the last. The owner came by to check on us, which was such a sweet and personal touch. You could tell she genuinely cared that we were happy and enjoying everything. It’s rare to find a place where both the service and food are this consistently great, but this restaurant nails it. We left so full and happy, already talking about when we’ll be back. Easily a five-star experience all around.

Amavi is a wonderful place to dine, especially for their delicious chicken dishes. Our family loves the mushroom soup, my brother’s favorite is the Goan Chorize Stuffed Chicken Breast and my dad enjoys the Anise & Ginger Chicken Breast. I loved the pasta - they customized it perfectly to my taste keeping in mind I am lactose intolerant. The ambience is great and the staff is attentive, ensuring quick service. The only suggestion would be to improve the parking, as it can be a bit tricky at times.

This restaurant is a definite must visit if you’re staying in north Goa. Beautiful setting with excellent staff and lovely food. Everything we ordered was delicious and cooked to perfection, a fine dining experience without the usual hefty price tag 😁

Wow, an amazing restaurant. The food is exceptional. The staff so friendly, courteous and kind. I can honestly say this is one of the best restaurants I have EVER eaten in. We will return many times on this holiday and on future trips to Goa. As an update we have returned again tonight. We asked for a dish of cauliflower cheese to complement our steak which the chef accommodated. This is an honest review of a fantastic first class restaurant. Thank you Amavi by Sumera. You do everything so wonderfully

Update: Went to Amavi again after almost 5 years and so glad we did! This place is truly a hidden gem with warm and courteous service and such delicious food! Hands down one of our favourite places to eat when in Goa! Will be coming back again! . . . Had a lovely experience at Amavi! The chef was great and asked us all how we would like our food to be and the service was great too and the food was so well presented and tasty. Plus they got a cake and sang for me once they got to know it was my birthday. The ambiance and the music was very pleasant as well. Loved every bit of it. . . . Update: went back again and tried their pasta and it was delicious. I can’t get enough of this restaurant. Everything about this place is incredible. Plus the live music on Saturday night was fabulous!!

Amavi offers an amazing dinning experience Goa . The food here is amazing and a real star of the show… The orange peel cocktail is absolutely delicious!! The chicken dishes are a must try. The staff is very polite and attentive… If you are looking for a place to dine in Goa Amavi is highly recommend!!!

We were very hungry after a long day on the road in Goa, and we heard of this place being good for seafood and offering vegetarian meals. It was placed on a beach, which was a tourist attraction, but was slightly dirtier than other beaches I’ve visited. The seafood, especially the Goan fish curry and the seafood pasta, was delicious, definitely worth a try. The mushroom pasta and other vegetarian dishes were great. If I had one specific critique, it was that the seating area was a bit too sandy.

Lovely place by the Baga beach with all the hustle buslte!! Cool interior and lots of space 😎 Food is good 👍🏻 Coffee is served in cups and tea is served in mugs! The service was prompt and the servers were able to explain the contents clearly. Washrooms are available however parking can be an issue as the road is narrow and one will have to park on the common beach parking. Using Wheelchair can be a bit tricky as the floor is all sand.

Britto's Restaurant is located at Baga Beach is one of the oldest shack with amazing food and great service and atmosphere. There is no special parking for the restaurant, so you will need to use the Pay & Park service at the Baga Beach. Fish Finger: decent quantity, good taste Baked Crabs: served with french fries and sprouts and corn salad - good for seafood lovers.

🦀 Britto's, Baga Beach: The Quintessential Goan Shack Experience Britto’s is an iconic establishment on Baga Beach, delivering the quintessential Goan shack experience with a side of legendary seafood. Located right on the sands, it offers a vibrant, lively atmosphere where you can dine with your feet literally in the sand or enjoy a sunset view from a spacious table. The main draw is the fresh seafood. A must-try is their famous Seafood Platter, loaded with the catch of the day, or the Stuffed Crab, a rich and flavorful Goan classic. Their menu is vast, extending beyond Goan cuisine to Continental and North Indian, but the local seafood dishes and meat items like Pork Vindaloo are the true stars. Despite being perpetually crowded—a testament to its popularity—the atmosphere is genial, often featuring live music or karaoke in the evenings, adding to the festive beach vibe. While service can occasionally be slow during peak season, the combination of excellent, authentic Goan food and the incredible beachfront setting makes Britto's a mandatory stop on any North Goa itinerary. Would you like to know the approximate cost for two people at Britto's, or are you interested in a similar review for another iconic Goan restaurant, like Martin's Corner?

Food is simply amazing here. The staff is very polite and courteous. The view of the Baga Beach is very nice. Nice music and not too loud. We tried Fish Fingers, Pork Chilli Fry & Tiger Prawns Platter which was recommended by the Server which we thoroughly enjoyed. The Pull me Up Cake here is a must try and highly recommended as well. Will definitely visit again next time we are in Goa.

A great beach side restraunt with great views. The food has authentic taste and lives up to its price. Fish items are fresh. Kokum was great. Mr Das our waiter a fellow bengali was very welcoming to us and helped elevate our experience at the restraunt.

Fantastic experience... Every visit make me feel more happy. Love their food. Price worthy.. highly recommended

Great beach to enjoy a peaceful evening and stunning sunset views. The waves come very close to the shore, which makes it scenic but not very safe for swimming. Best time to visit is during pleasant weather, as it’s not recommended in the monsoon due to strong tides. Perfect for sunset photography, relaxing walks, and soaking in the coastal vibes.

I recently visited this beach with the hope of enjoying a relaxing day by the sea, but unfortunately, the experience turned out to be quite disappointing for several reasons. The beach feels extremely congested. The number of shacks, restaurants, and bars set up right along the shoreline leaves very little open space to actually enjoy the beach or its views. There's hardly any breathing room, and it’s difficult to find a peaceful spot to sit and relax. It seems like every inch of the beach is commercialized, which seriously takes away from the natural charm and openness you'd typically expect at a beach. Another downside was the constant pestering from locals trying to sell water sports activities. While it's understandable that water sports are a part of the beach economy, it becomes frustrating when you’re approached every few minutes, even after politely declining. It really disrupts the peace and makes it hard to enjoy your time. Most of the restaurants and beach shacks are quite overpriced, especially for the quality and portion size offered. Even basic refreshments or snacks are charged at premium rates, which seems to be targeting tourists rather than offering fair value. If you're planning to spend a day here, be prepared for high prices without necessarily getting a premium experience.

I went to Anjuna beach early morning and evening. I would say if you need less crowd and play in water it’s better to go in the early morning around 6.30Am and If you need good music and enjoy drinks then go in the evening!

Anjuna Beach has a unique charm — a perfect blend of rocky coastline, calm vibes, and bohemian culture. It’s the ideal spot if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the busier beaches in Goa.

Take the main road and not the roads which goes from the village. We almost got lost out in nowhere the Google maps can be wrong in such a place. So take the road which are used by most peoples. The beach was very pretty. Saw the most beautiful sunset.

Great life.. energetic night life... You all can see reviews about positive from everyone.. be aware of Police just few meters from Anjuna Beach there is a police station where they ready to catch tourists without helmet/ little high... Asking for heavy challans etc.. please be mindful and follow traffic rules.

Not a clean beach. Other beaches like Calangute are better. Baga is also good but too much of crowd. These are all in North Goa

Is a solid choice for a quick, fun family outing. We spent about 60 to 90 minutes here, which was the perfect amount of time. Fun with Kids: Highly engaging and a hit with the children. Pricing: The ₹600 combo ticket offers good value for seeing both attractions. Wax Museum: The wax statues are well-made and impressive. 9D Cinema: A fun, immersive experience, but be aware it's very short (approx. 5-7 minutes). Fish Aquarium: A unique highlight! Loved seeing the diverse collection of rare fishes imported from different countries. Overall, a good destination to visit for an hour or so of entertainment.

A great place to visit with your kids, offering a wide variety of fish for them to see and learn about. The staff are knowledgeable and explain the different fish species, and the 9D ride is an exciting experience to try.

A very impressive and wonderful experience it was...I have gone along with my beautiful Wifey ❤️🥰🫶🏻😌🧿😘😘 and have a lot of fun together. We saw a lot of variety and different types of fish and the quality of wax statue was also very realistic. We also have 9D experience inside the museum and the total ticket for Wax Museum, Fish Aquarium and 9D show was 1200Rs for 2 people. I would definitely recommend this place to visit.

Wax statues are just okay. Not much to explore here. 9D show is barely of 5-6 minutes and is just okay. But the fish aquarium is really worth visiting. Variety of fish and many different species are here. Kids will love this place.

Loved the place a lot especially the fish aquarium was breathtaking. Was stunned with the varieties and the aquarium is well maintained and hygienic. The staff Jahnvi was very friendly and knowledgeable. She gave us a proper insight of each variety of fish. She was patient to answer our queries as well. Thank you Jahnvi you made our experience delightful.

Good place overall but needs improvement. It's extremely hot inside. AC's don't cool properly. Aquarium is not well maintained. 9D ride is not that great, the goggles are dirty. But it has an excellent staff. So kudos to them.

Great experience! Used their combo package costed just 600 per head ! Great aquarium too

Absolutely loved the experience at Fat Fish Goa! 🐟 The food was outstanding especially the Fish Thali, it’s one of the best I’ve had in Goa. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The ambience has a true Goan vibe, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Totally worth the little walk to reach here — it’s a hidden gem for seafood lovers! 💙 Highly recommend: Fish Thali, Crab Curry, and Prawns Masala!

One of the best restaurants in North Goa to enjoy the authentic Goan thali. After having some disappointing food experiences in Goa we visited this place with so much hope and it was worth dining here. We had to wait for around 10 to 15 minutes to get the table. We ordered Tawa chicken fry, Garlic butter prawns and Fish thali and everything turned out amazingly tasty. Tawa chicken fry was spicy as required with the perfect crunch, and prawns were cooked perfectly but they were not that hot till they reached my table and Fish thali was heavenly. From fish fry to every other curry everything was soulful and truly satisfying my tummy and soul. Definitely, it's highly recommended and worth the hype. Service can be improved as it was very slow.

Great place for Goan food. Tried Chonok Rawa Fry and Roast Chicken Salad. Portion sizes were generous and the prices were reasonable. The ambience is pleasant and the servers are enthusiastic. A very nice experience. Definitely recommended for a leisurely meal. I was tempted to give it a 5-star rating, but settled on 4, because anything can be improved!

An amazing Goan cuisine restaurant with a great ambiance and absolutely delicious food! We absolutely loved our brunch here and they have a nice variety of brews and alcohol. The Thalis here are completely filling and tasty and the starters are good too!

The Experience was amazing at The Fat Fish in Goa! The fish there was absolutely tasty along with the chilli cheken and praws. The atmosphere and ambience is super, with a private dining room and a lot of lights. The service was fast, and the staff was polite. So Every thing here was 5 stars!

My all-time favourite spot in Goa! I’ve never missed eating here on any of my trips. The food is absolutely delicious — the Goan fish thali is authentic and a must-try. Crabs, fish, mussels, and prawns are all fresh and perfectly cooked. You can choose your sauce — my favourites are the butter garlic and lemon butter garlic preparations. The crab sukka is simply yumm, and don’t miss the apple pie with ice cream 👌. To go with it, I usually pick a No.7 wine, a draught beer, or their own Fat Fish Wit beer. It gets quite crowded on weekends, so reach early. Fish thalis are limited, so if you want one, make sure to be there before 2 PM!

The restaurant is good ambience is good little bit costly. There is very little scope for veg of you have veg people. We went on weekend so there was 20 min waiting time. There are two fat fish side by side. First one towards vagator is good. They don't accept gpay or upi. Only cash are card are accepted.

Even it was a Saturday night the place was pretty much empty and also it looked dated from what we last visited 11 years back. This place is particularly famous fpr its breakfast but we decided to give it a try for dinner. The food and service was good. On live music days it must be getting very loud to have an conversation which was not the case during our visit.

We ordered chicken cafreal, pork roast, and ros omlette. Chicken cafreal was good. The pork roast was ok. The pork tasted a bit strong, but we haven't had pork in India before, so maybe that's how it tastes here. Ros omlette was really good too, but I didn't see any chicken in ros omlette. I have had chicken in the ros every time I have had it before. The poiee was soft, fresh and fluffy. The food was better than some of the other places we have tried. The server - Ranjan was very attentive and we had a good service. I would rate the service 5/5 because I have noticed that the servers in most goan restaurants are indifferent to the customers and don't bother paying attention until called.

Life saving place in Goa...you can read all the goodness of this place others written on here..and add more points to those comments. It is a sanctuary for us. We love everything this place has to offer..Come try!!!

We chose this place seeing the high ratings on Google, but after visiting, I understood how they got them. They offer discounts or free items if you like their page/share on Instagram. That’s their hack. Now about the food, I’m a big foodie, and so is my family. We try local cuisines everywhere we go. But here, apart from one item, everything was a disaster. • Cinnamon roll: Only saving grace. Soft, fresh, and very good. • Hot chocolate: The hot chocolate we actually ordered was served cold, not even lukewarm. When I asked them to make it hot, they microwaved it, and the glass came back too hot to even hold. • Water: We first asked for water, and they brought mineral water. When we said we don’t want bottled, just regular water, the elderly staff member who was taking order, frowned, raised his eyebrows, and in a rude tone asked, “So you want tap water?” Never in our lives has anyone asked like this when we requested regular drinking water in a restaurant. I said, I don’t know what you mean by that but we need regular drinking water. He later brought two glasses and placed them on the table with a loud thud. • Grilled chicken burger: The chicken patty was thinner than the cucumber slice inside. Tasteless, had to sprinkle salt just to eat it. Attcahed is the pic. • Goan fish curry combo: Curry was okay, but the fried fish had zero salt. Absolutely bland. On top of this, there’s no ambience at all. Very hot, because it’s in open space, looked like parking area converted to restaurant. Except for the cinnamon roll, the food was pathetic. Everything lacked taste and quality. If you genuinely love food, please don’t waste your time or money here. The ratings are misleading, they are built on freebies for Instagram tags, not real food quality.

Café Infantaria is a must-visit spot in Goa! The food is amazing, and their bakery items are truly fresh and delicious. The place carries an authentic Goan vibe, making it perfect for both a hearty breakfast or a relaxed evening bite. Definitely worth trying if you want good food with a local touch.

Loved the burger, with fresh bread, great service, a bit pricy place but good quality food. This place has been here for the last 30+ years, run by a Goan and maintained the quality of food. Would definitely go here again. Better to find a parking nearby and walk to this place.

Good place, we tried Chocolate ecstasy mousse 5/5 ⭐️ Lemon tart 3/5 ⭐️ (soggy and too sour) Prawn patties 4/5 ⭐️ Mushroom spinach quiche 4/5⭐️ Good restaurant, i visited in evening maybe that’s why few things were not up to the mark but i heard it offers rhe best breakfast.

Went here for an official evening out yesyersay night. The restaurant has a great beachfront location—peaceful, though a little away from the main shacks. Food was awesome and the service was equally good, really lived up to the reputation. The only downside was that Tuesday night felt a bit dull with no live music. Adding some entertainment would definitely enhance the vibe and make evenings more lively. Overall, a lovely place for good food, great service, and a nice seaside experience.

The food was just too delicious! We had pork ribs (delicious and properly cooked), chicken cafreal skewers (very good), grilled chicken (chicken was good but mashed potatoes could have been better), prawns and chonak curry with buns and rice. In drinks we had kaju feni with limca it was perfect and whiskey sour with egg (just right) In sweet we had sera dura (delicious and tandout), bebinca (2 of us liked, other found just okay), caramel custard (just right) But the highlight we recommend is CRAB RECHADO….. damn that gravy or masala is to die for. Highly recommended . Just one thing crabs could have been bigger in size and more fresh. But no complaints because of that gravy🤤. Even the gravy of pork ribs were just too delicious. The restaurant they have kept it proper aesthetic. The beach view with karaoke at evening enhances the experience even further. I am definitely visiting again. Excellent restaurant!

Souza Lobo is truly an iconic restaurant in Goa, known for its authentic coastal flavors and unbeatable beachside charm. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the history and reputation of this legendary spot — it’s relaxed, vibrant, and full of Goan character. 🌴 The food here is exceptional, but the oysters in butter garlic sauce are absolutely a must-try. They’re fresh, perfectly cooked, and smothered in a rich, flavorful sauce that makes every bite unforgettable. Beyond the oysters, their seafood selection is consistently top-notch, with traditional Goan flavors done right. The service is friendly and attentive, the location right on the beach adds to the whole experience, and the overall vibe is perfect for a leisurely, hearty Goan meal. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, Souza Lobo is one of those places you just can’t miss in Goa. 🦪✨

Visited for dinner, after seeing the reviews. And was not disappointed at all. Good food and good ambience. Their craft beer too is good. Some idiotic shacks were playing music at very high volume which was disturbing. Toilets etc are clean. Butter garlic lobster should have been more juicy. Everything else was tasty.

Went here on 29th apr😅 just wanted to try so ordered prawns crispy chilli,roti & choclate mousse.it was 970 something including tax.prawns pieces were around 6-7/8 I'm not sure. But the taste m not lying 🤤🤤i still can feel it on my palate 🤩so people who like spicy food with spices it's a must try. Very calm and cozy view. If you go upstairs they have seating arrangements but we preferred to seat outside.washroom were upstairs which was clean.i think it was bit pricy🥲 but the taste was 9/10.

Walking into Souza Lobo after almost 6–7 years felt like stepping into a time capsule — back to the Calangute I remember from the early 2000s. The vibe is still the same — a beautiful mix of locals, foreigners, and a few Indian tourists, all soaking in that easygoing Goan beach energy and a bit of loud music from the shacks outside. It honestly felt so good to see that Souza Lobo still holds its soul. The restaurant hasn’t changed much — the charm, the sea breeze, the familiar buzz — but it’s lovely to see the next generation taking it forward. The daughter now runs the place and has beautifully revamped the menu while keeping the essence alive. Seafood remains the heart of Souza Lobo — and rightly so. There’s even proper parking now — plenty for two-wheelers right at the restaurant and a few four-wheelers too — something you rarely find around Calangute these days! The staff were their usual amazing selves — warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. You can tell they take pride in what they do and always watching out for you. And the food… just wow. The beer-battered calamari was perfectly crisp, the fish fingers were spot-on, and the sausage pulao took me straight back to childhood Sundays home cooked food. Souza Lobo isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a piece of Goan history. To all the locals who’ve spent evenings here in the old days, do yourself a favour — go back, relive those memories, and support this iconic place that still carries the true Goan spirit in every plate served. ❤️🌊

I recently visited Suza Lobo in Goa, a restaurant that’s been on my list for a long time, and it was a delightful experience. Located near Calangute Beach, the place has a very laid-back and authentic Goan vibe. The open-air seating with beachside views creates the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a relaxed meal with family or friends. The highlight, of course, is the food. Suza Lobo is known for its Goan and seafood specialties, and it definitely lived up to the hype. I tried their prawn curry with rice, crab xacuti, and rava fried fish – each dish was fresh, flavorful, and prepared in traditional Goan style. The spices were well-balanced, and the seafood tasted incredibly fresh. For those who prefer vegetarian options, they also have a decent variety. The service was quick and friendly. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and they were happy to recommend dishes based on our preferences. Prices are quite reasonable considering the location and quality of food, making it a great value for money experience. The evenings here are even more enjoyable with live music, which adds to the charm and makes the place feel lively yet cozy. It’s a wonderful spot to unwind after a day at the beach. Overall, Suza Lobo is a must-visit if you’re in North Goa. Whether you’re craving authentic Goan cuisine or just want a relaxed evening with good food and music, this restaurant won’t disappoint. Highly recommended!

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, this place is a must-visit in Goa. We tried the chocolate waffle with ice cream, and every bite was pure delight—rich, indulgent, and perfectly made. The whole experience was fantastic, and I’m already looking forward to going back. Solid 5/5 stars from me!

Since last 3 days was on search for a amazing coffee and some good chocolates. And finally my search ended here at The Chocolate Room, Calangute. Enjoyed a great black coffee and delicious Chocolate. And my friend enjoyed a cappuccino. The service and staff both are really nice. Must visit.

Does not live upto the brand name of Chocolate room. The chocolate seems like synthetic flavour and not an authentic chocolate flavour. We had chocolate brownie which was stale and they replaced it however it lacked taste. The hot chocolate is not very great. Better to skip this place!

We visited this place for dessert after dinner. We tried the Sundae which was very good. It was a true paradise for a chocolate lover. The presentation of the desert too was very nice. What surprised me about the place is that they do not accept credit cards. For a place of this grade it's really not acceptable to not have arrangements to accept payments through credit cards.

Food is good but the walls and ceiling are filthy with mould and rot. This place needs to be shut down and renovated. It’s a health hazard. I had a chocolate cake that I didn’t finish and asked them to parcel it. They wrapped it up for me while I paid, but they didn’t give it to me. I got busy with a phone call and sat there for another 5 minutes while the 2 guys stared at me. When I was leaving I forgot the cake but I said thank you to them and neither one of them reminded me to take my cake. I parked in front of the store and was there for a few more minutes and neither of them had the courtesy to bring it to me. Of course it’s my fault that I forgot, but what’s wrong with these guys that they couldn’t do their job and give it to me? Did they think that was funny? Instead they stood there and stared at me the whole time.

☕️ GREAT CAFE IN GOA.. 😋 We had Smoking Brownie , coffee frappe anf Iced Mocha. Taste and quantity is soo good. We were not expecting that. Taste was yummmmm... Atmosphere is soo quite and comfy. Perfect place to take rest from beach noice and crowd. Rates are minimal. It costed around 750₹ for us. Just cafe is slightly warm.

Well ! Yummy tasty and with lots of options! We went there specially for deserts around 12 am midnight and I had no clue that I’ll be getting confused what to order by looking at so many tempting options they have it. I’m sure all the deserts must be yummy the way they have given description about each deserts and dish at the bottom. Ambience is good, family and young crowd, service is good and offcourse I had the yummiest desert. Will surely visit again to try out new deserts. Best part is this Place is open till 2 am! So enjoy!

Chill place that's been around forever. I've been going here since my college days. Try their prawns rachedo it's incredible. Golden fry calamari isn't bad either. They usually have some or the other karaoke scene going on if that's your jam. Alcohol is decently priced. Vibe is nice, you can chill on the beach and just enjoy your beer, they screen matches and stuff. The music from the shacks around is a little annoying but it's manageable either way.

Disappointed Experience at St. Antony’s Beach Shack, Baga I’ve been visiting St. Antony’s Beach Shack for years — probably more than 10 times — and always loved its vibe, music, and food. But this visit was truly disappointing. We were a large group of 14 couples who came to enjoy a lively evening with karaoke, but the person handling the karaoke setup was extremely rude and had a terrible attitude. Even though the manager did apologize, the experience left a bad taste and spoiled the mood for everyone. Hospitality and positive vibes are what Goa is all about — unfortunately, that spirit was missing this time. Hope the management takes this feedback seriously and ensures guests are treated with respect.

Went to this place for Dinner Date and we sit on a Beach side sitting. Sound was loud inside the bar so we preferred to sit outside. Most of the outside tables were occupied by the other customers and crowd was good. We started with 2 cocktails and a starter. One was Long Island Iced Tea and the other one was Planters Punch. LIIT was Okaish but Punch was good. We also ordered one veg starter and a seafood starter. Veg was Hara Paneer Tikka and Seafood was Chonak Masala Fry. Hara Paneer tikka was really good, flavourful and freshly prepared served along with Chutney and onion masala rings. First time tried Chonak fish in Goa was prepared in a red tangy masala which was so different and unique. I didn't like the taste atall but somehow managed to finish the fish. Their service was good but they should have to improve the food quality as per they were charging. There was one body massage guy came around our table and asking about foot massage. As my feets were paining I negotiated with him and he started giving me foot massage which was so relaxing for me and I really enjoyed that massage. Overall experience was okey as they are over priced and should improve their food quality.

This shack is right on the beach, you can enjoy live music and some awesome seafood with hukkah. Must visit. Don't miss butter garlic prawns and Kingfish fry, you will love it.

St. Anthony Beach felt like one of Goa’s best-kept secrets — soft sands, calm waves, and just enough life to feel alive without the crowd. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, with local music echoing faintly in the air, was pure magic. 🌅🎶

I visited an outlet in Goa called St. Anthony’s, where the server, Neeraj, provided a completely disappointing experience. Despite the bar being empty, the staff seemed too busy to pay attention, and no one was listening at all. I can now understand why Goa's hospitality is declining. Overall, a very disappointing visit.

Nice beach side restaurant with good food option .

Worst place to eat in Goa. I ordered veg Biryani and they served me it with small bone pieces of idk what was that.and when we complained about it ,the service staff and manager were so rude to answer. Poor food quality and poor management. 🤮🤮

It was good service. But the quantity of the food was very low... It was not sufficient for the price that we pay... They also don't have gst bill.. Simply sending some fake bills when we ask about the bill.. Vrry expensive and less quantity

Don't visit this place as it will ruin your mood and taste as they did to me. I am pure vegetarian and I ordered veg biryani, they served it on time bit when I ate 2-3 spoons a hard object which turned to be some sort of bone.and when complained they wasn't sorry for that.and even after that they were charging us for that dinner..🤢🤮🤮..please stay some human.worst place to dine

Worst place to go in goa, waiters here believe that they are owner , please avoid it if u Dont want to spoil your mood

Its located at Calangute Baga beach road on Calangute beach main entrance. There was variety available and food taste was good. Portion size is decent. We had taken food parcels. Not so high standard upkeep but rates are high as compared to infrastructure.

Sher-A-Punjab Family Restaurant (SAPFR) is located on the junction on the road leading to the popular Calangute beach. With it being at a stone throw's distance, it is ideal for walking into for drinks and snacks / meals while visiting the beach. As the name suggests the place specializes in North Indian cuisine with both vegetarian and non - vegetarian dishes on the menu. The menu is elaborate and offers a wide variety of items to choose from. Drinks - both alcoholic as well as non - alcoholic are served. The ambiance is casual and the decor is minimal. Seating is comfortable and the place is well ventilated. It remains open till late in the night which is ideal for those mid - night cravings. All items are reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and willingly accommodates any special requests. Service may be delayed during peak rush hour times.

This hotel sucks Never ever come to this hotel Very late service Unwashed utensils served 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

I ate at probably one of the most authentic Goan Cafe Susgado! I had the Calamari Goan Masala, Buff Chilly Fry and Chorizo Pao!! The place has very vintage vibes. The food is absolutely fresh and delicious. My cousins from Bangalore absolutely loved the food too. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wishes to experience Goan food in the city.

My first experience here was Tremendous. The service is fabulous. Special mention for the Pork Roast. I had 3 orders in a single seating, because of how good it was.

I went here based on the high rating but was hugely disappointed. We had the fish n chips and it was really bad. There was hardly any fish in it, it was mostly just batter with a very thin layer of basa fish. The taste was just that of the batter!

We got chicken cafreal and chicken sukkem. Cafreal was the best one I have had so far (this is my 6th time in goa). The chapati was super soft and we had allebelle for dessert which had balanced flavors.

I had a wonderful experience at Sussegado Restaurant. We tried the Cheese Balls, Mushroom Bardez with Parota, Prawns Cafreal with Poe, and the refreshing Mango Bloom Mojito. Every dish was flavorful and perfectly prepared, but the highlight for me was the Prawns Cafreal—the prawns were cooked to perfection with no unwanted smell and a rich, authentic taste. The service was equally impressive. Mr. Katu, Mr. Arif (the manager), and the rest of the staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Sussegado is a must-visit for anyone who wants delicious Goan food with warm hospitality. Highly recommended!

On the last day of my 🏖️ Goa trip, all I craved was one final, soul-satisfying, authentic Goan meal… and what better place to make that happen than the legendary @sussegadogoa in Calangute — a place that’s been around since 1881! 😍🍛 The moment I walked in, it felt like stepping into a slice of Goa’s past — the warm, rustic charm of old traditional homes, a welcoming team that made me feel right at home, and that soothing Goan music playing in the background… pure sussegado vibes! 🌿🎶 I didn’t even need a menu — I knew exactly what I wanted: a plate of comforting, flavorful Goan Fish Curry served with Poee and rice. And oh my God — it was heavenly! Every bite was like Goa saying a delicious goodbye. 💛🐟🍚 This was the perfect meal and the perfect place to end my Goan adventure on the most satisfying note. If you’re in Goa, don’t miss this iconic gem! ♥️ #mravoice #foodiesofinstagram #GoaDiaries #SussegadoGoa #AuthenticGoanFood #FishCurryLove #calangute #Goa

U get 5 stars buddy! In the midst of few costly seafood restaurants in candolim, cafe sussegado gives you seafood with reasonable price. Taste is no compromise for seafood category. Believe me, we had rawa fried prawns, crab curry, rice, bibinca icecream all for 1300.... Awesome experience, fast service and genuine taste. Phir se aayega bro!

Great fort with very less people. There is not much to see in the terms of the fort in my opinion, but the view is really amazing. It's one of the highest places that can be easily climbed through a few flights of stairs. Nothing much to do other than just look around

The coastal defence planning, particularly at an estuary (a place where a river enters the sea) from the 14th to 15th century onwards, called for the construction of a fort. Such a fort not only offered protection to the coastal areas, but more importantly, it also insulated inland areas from enemy attacks by denying the enemy inland entry through the river. Based on the same doctrine, Chapora Fort is strategically located on a high hill feature on the southern bank of the Chapora estuary. Fort has an all-around clear view from its commanding height. The complete hillside and the fort are surrounded by lush greenery and look beautiful. The view from the fort is simply amazing. For the fort, full marks for its scenic beauty and the amazing 360-degree view it offers of the surroundings. What is wrong is the neglect by the civic authorities. ​Signage giving direction to the fort and to the parking areas is woefully inadequate.​ Parking areas need better management. At the fort itself, the Signage, the information boards are totally faded and can not be read. Fort also needs to be provided with strategically located small gazebo-like shelters where visitors can relax in the shade or be protected from the rain.

Ruins of the fort, calm and beautiful with a great view of the ocean. It can be maintained and cledned a bit more properly. Rest it is all famous for that dil chahta hai pose where that picture can be clicked. Overall a good place to hang out and chill in calmness and silence. Have a very small hike of 5 mins and you're there.

Beautiful place with a picturesque view of a Arabian Sea. This beach is hardly 2 kms from Chapora Fort. You have to walk uphill to this fort but in the way various small juice shops having chairs are there where you can rest and go. Paid parking available. Prices at the shops here are more or less same as other street shops in Goa. After parking your vehicle, drink one coconut water and then proceed for the fort climb as it really gives you energy.

Chapora Fort offers a decent viewpoint after a short climb of around 50–70 steps. The view from the top is quite scenic, especially if you enjoy nature and open landscapes. However, the condition of the fort itself is very poor. Most of the walls are either collapsed or in ruins, and there’s been almost no maintenance, which is disappointing for such a historic site. A helpful tip: carry a water bottle with you. The climb, though not very long, can be tiring, especially in the heat. Staying hydrated is important. Despite the lack of upkeep at the fort, our visit was made special by a lovely local lady (Aai). She was incredibly sweet and welcoming. She offered us freshly made limbu pani (lemonade) and genuinely asked about our well-being. It was a heartwarming moment and the highlight of our visit. If you’re visiting Chapora Fort, don’t miss stopping by Aai’s small refreshment stall. It’s a simple but memorable experience that adds a touch of local warmth to the trip.

​Perched commandingly on a headland overlooking the confluence of the Chapora River and the Arabian Sea, Chapora Fort offers visitors far more than just historical ruins, it delivers one of North Goa's most spectacular panoramic vistas and a palpable connection to popular culture. ​ ​Known locally as the "Dil Chahta Hai Fort" after the iconic Bollywood film scene shot here, the structure itself is a powerful testament to Goa's tumultuous history. Originally a military outpost called "Shahapura" built by the Bijapur Sultanate, the fort was rebuilt and strengthened by the Portuguese in 1617 using durable red laterite stone (visible in the uploaded images). This strategic position, with steep slopes on all sides, made it a vital northern defense point against various invaders, including the Marathas. ​Though abandoned since 1892, the remaining walls, like the weathered archway captured in the image, retain their powerful presence. Walking across the irregular outer ramparts, which follow the contours of the hill, is an experience in itself, allowing you to trace the defensive lines once manned by soldiers. Little remains of the barracks or the church of St. Anthony that once stood inside, giving the fort a wild, open, and atmospheric feel, dotted with brush and patches of grass. ​ ​The real draw of Chapora Fort is the incredible 360-degree viewpoint. From the bastions, you are treated to a stunning coastal landscape: ​To the South: The sprawling sands and palm groves of Vagator Beach and Ozran Beach. ​To the North: The vast, tranquil expanse of the Chapora River meeting the sea, with the pristine Morjim Beach beyond in the Pernem region. ​To the West: The limitless Arabian Sea, providing the perfect backdrop for dramatic photographs. ​ ​The climb up to the fort is a short but somewhat steep trek over rocky and uneven paths. It's essential to wear comfortable, non-slip footwear (avoiding flip-flops or heels) and carry water, as vendors are scarce once you are on the fort ruins. ​The undisputed best time to visit is during the late afternoon, specifically to catch the sunset. As the sun dips into the Arabian Sea, it casts a golden light over the laterite walls and paints the sky in vibrant shades of orange and purple. This serene moment is when the atmosphere is most magical and the photographic opportunities are truly limitless. ​In summary, Chapora Fort is a must visit in North Goa. It offers a perfect blend of historical intrigue, breathtaking scenery, and a dose of cinematic nostalgia, making the short, challenging climb absolutely worthwhile.

​I visited Chapora Fort with two other friends, just like in the film, and it was a memorable experience! The key thing to note is that there is no fort now, only ruins are there. What remains are the strong, laterite walls and a large open space on the hill top. ​The journey up requires you to climb the steps to reach the ruins of the fort. ​The real attraction that makes the visit worthwhile is the sea view—it is absolutely stunning. You get a clear, panoramic vista overlooking Vagator and Morjim beaches and the entire Chapora River estuary meeting the Arabian Sea. ​I highly recommend visiting in the evening so you can watch the sunset as well. If you can watch it, it will be a wonderful experience and absolutely worth visiting. There are small shops at the base that offer water and other refreshment drinks, but, like every other tourist place, they felt a little bit overpriced. Go for the view and the nostalgia, and you won't be disappointed!

This flea market has variety of options for handmade bags, Jewellary, Clothes, handmade crochets / macrame material things, variety of fridge magnets, POP plates, tea coasters and pots, food options and every little thing you can ask for. You can find antique things here. You can always bargain a little here. There are restaurants and food stalls in this market also. Also the beach is very near to the market so its scenic. Its a small yet interesting place to visit.

The flea market in Goa is completely finished now. Anyone who remembers how it used to be will definitely be disappointed. It only sells useless souvenirs — the same kind of stuff you can buy anytime, anywhere, not just at the once-a-week market. There are only Indian tourists now, and the size is less than one-tenth of what it used to be — you can walk through the whole thing in under five minutes. It’s not worth going at all. Unlike before, you even have to pay for motorcycle or car parking. A total waste of money.

Visitors can find unique items such as colorful textiles, beaded jewelry, handmade pottery, and vintage clothing. There are also stalls selling spices, incense, and other local products. The food stalls offer a delicious variety of Indian and international cuisine, making it a great place to grab a bite to eat while shopping. Anjuna Flea Market is more than just a shopping destination; it's a cultural experience. It's a great place to interact with locals, learn about Indian culture, and discover hidden gems. Whether you're looking for souvenirs, unique gifts, or simply a fun day out, Anjuna Flea Market is definitely worth a visit.

This market is awesome for handcrafted items and jute bags and purses and goa style outfits and decoration items.

I recently visited the Anjuna Flea Market in Goa during the off-season, and honestly, I found it a bit overrated. The stalls were fewer than I expected, and the crowd was minimal, so it didn’t have the lively, bustling vibe I had imagined from pictures. Some shops were even closed, which might be typical for the off-season. That said, it was still fun to stroll around, check out local handicrafts, and enjoy the quieter beach area nearby. I think visiting during peak season would give a very different, more vibrant experience.

People who likes accessories and some short thrift clothes may visit this place. There are shops that sell new clothes and there are some who sell used ones. Make your choices carefully. Though market is 9 to 9 but would suggest visit this market in the morning or early evening because they close if power goes off. Very few shops entertain bargaining. At the end of the day, people sell for cheaper price. Choose your time of visit accordingly.

This is a nice place to do some shopping in Goa. Well organized street with a lot of local items. Although the pattern keeps repeating, people visiting Goa, can go for a walk and do some shopping. However, make sure you bargain, they hype the prices and reduce it if we push. Almost every shop did that.

Tibetian market where you can find traditional tibetian jewellery, accessories, room and home decors. Its a bit overpriced and you can find the dame stuff at other places for a cheaper price. Some items are really cheap as well. Depends on your level pf street smartness and bargaining skills.

Nestled along the vibrant Baga–Calangute stretch, the Tibetan Handicraft Market is a sensory delight. From intricately crafted singing bowls and dreamcatchers to gleaming gemstone jewelry and prayer flags, this place offers a wondrous range of Tibetan-style novelties. Though prices start on the higher side, skilled bargaining can score you truly great deals. Expect mixed interactions with vendors—some warm and helpful, others more reserved—but with a little patience you’ll find the experience rewarding. Whether you're hunting for thoughtful décor, unique souvenirs, or mystical mementos of your Goa trip, this market is a compelling stop. Bring your bargaining spirit, leave with treasure—and a slice of Tibetan tradition in North Goa. Worth a visit if you're interested in Tibetan crafts and culture.

Variety of options from jewellery , showpiece , bags etc Overall nice

Its a good shopping place. It had different items at one place. More jwellery places are there. If you can bargain then you can get a great deal here. Its close to Baga.

This market is good to buy items like Artificial jewellery, bags, plastic items, toys, Handcrafted items and Wooden items. There are many items that i never seen in the past. But the thing I found here is that it is too expensive. Yes their prices are too high for every item. You have to bargain for everything you buy here. I think this should take me as feedback and try to fix this problem.

Tibetan artifacts, clothing, and handicrafts. Visitors can wander through the colorful stalls, browsing an array of handmade jewelry, clothing, home decor, and souvenirs. you will get all the oxidized jewellery here. there is no car parking available nearby and one cannot park at the roadside.

Great place ...please support this market.. Prices are very reasonable...and check out the.dream catchers, and magnets for sure!

Overall my experience was unpleasant. The road to the SinQ beach resort was very narrow. The rooms had a pungent smell. The Restrooms were good, and the food was nice. But the bed, and room atmosphere was not good. The serving staff behavior was nice and pleasant. My Wife and 8 year old kid arrived around 10 PM in the night, and the staff asked for additional charge for the kid. I was surprised. I never had this experience earlier. We 3 sleep in the same king bed and i booked a King bed room (Although i feel the room they gave appears to be like a queen bed, which i. amnot interested to argue). I tried explaining but they were not agreeing. After a long travel, i didnot want to make my family wait and agreed to pay the additional amount. So overall if there are few good points, there are equally more negatives and ended up with a little unpleasant experience.

Hotel is nice for couple days stay good is awesome u can take breakfast & lunch combo it's taste better that out side food all over experience is nice staff was polite. Rooms were also nice but bed is a bit smaller comparing to 6 ft person. Rooms should be a bit more should take care if a guest checking the first impression. Is room and how it smells so pl improve that only other than all is awesome 👌.

Humiliating Reception Behavior Our stay at Sinq Beach Resort (13–15 Aug) was ruined because of the reception staff. Both receptionists were shockingly arrogant. Instead of handling guests with respect, they raised their voices and even scolded my sister-in-law when she simply asked them not to shout. Who talks to guests like that? Absolutely unacceptable! The rest of the property is average — nothing great about the food or service. But no matter what, no guest deserves to be treated the way we were. This was one of the most humiliating hotel experiences I’ve had in Goa.

I stayed with my family at Sinq Beach Resort, Goa, from 13th to 15th August, and I can confidently say it was the most humiliating and infuriating hotel experience I’ve ever had. The reception staff ruined our entire stay. Both receptionists were unbelievably rude, arrogant, and unprofessional. Prateksha, in particular, behaved as though she was doing us a favor by even speaking to us. She raised her voice, spoke disrespectfully, and showed zero basic courtesy. When my wife calmly told her not to shout, instead of correcting herself, both receptionists ganged up and started scolding her. To make things worse, they even had the audacity to call her “hyperactive.” This is not just arrogance — it’s outright insulting behavior towards guests. No guest deserves to be treated like this. I have stayed in many hotels across Goa, but never once have I seen reception staff act so aggressively and without respect. Reception is supposed to set the tone for the stay — here, it only created stress, humiliation, and anger. The rest of the resort was average at best. The buffet was nothing special, food quality was questionable, and service indifferent. The only saving grace was one housekeeping staff member who was polite. But none of that matters when the front desk treats you like garbage. What makes this worse is that I stayed in this same hotel back in August 2023, and the experience then was excellent. That’s why I returned. Sadly, this time it was completely ruined by the reception staff’s arrogant, disgraceful behavior. Sinq Beach Resort has clearly gone downhill, and the staff — especially the receptionists — are the biggest reason. Never coming back, and I strongly advise others to think twice before booking here.

We stay here in August 20th .Reception staff was rude. Rooms are just ok not average at all. No guest deserve to stay here with this price once we pay for anything we want facility. Rooms are so cheap in condition hotel is very old in condition . In the last when we chek out their staff come in to room ne chek allthe accessories they provide third class towel , bedshit for if their is any mark of anything. If any mark noticed you have to pay for it like lipstick mark or anything. Totally disappointed with their reception staff. Food is also just ok . If u think to stay here please think twice before stay here bcz it will ruined ur day.

The only good thing about this hotel is its location, very close to Calangute Beach and within walking distance of many good restaurants. They also provide valet parking, which was convenient and saved us the hassle of finding parking. However, the rooms were very average and not at all like the pictures shown on booking sites. The balcony view was extremely disappointing. On top of that, the ACs in two of our rooms were leaking, the flushes were not working properly, and in one room even the fridge was leaking. Maintenance clearly needs a lot of improvement. The biggest drawback was the reception staff. Most of them were rude and unhelpful, except for one person on the night shift who was polite. On one of the days, the lift stopped working. Since our room was on the 4th floor, we had to climb up and down multiple times. We requested to be shifted to the 2nd floor (where we had already booked two other rooms), but the receptionist, Hussain, gave illogical excuses and argued unnecessarily. We also noticed him speaking rudely with other guests. Overall, this hotel is not worth the price. If you’re paying more than ₹2,000 per night, it’s definitely not justified, location alone cannot make up for poor service, lack of maintenance, and rude staff. I would not recommend staying here.

The listing is somewhat misleading — it only shows photos of the better parts of the property, while a significant portion looks quite different in reality. I had initially booked the Smart Room, but it was in poor condition with ceiling leakage and lacked proper maintenance, so I had to upgrade to a Deluxe Room. I would recommend avoiding the Smart Room altogether. The Wi-Fi is also just for namesake — barely works and can’t be relied upon for anything important. Check-in is delayed and check-out is early, although this seems to be common across many Goa properties. The food at the in-house restaurant is overpriced and not really worth it. Also, they don’t provide cutlery if you're ordering food from outside, which can be inconvenient. On the positive side, the breakfast was good. Overall, the stay was average — not terrible, but certainly not as great as the listing suggests. Hope this helps future travelers make an informed decision.

My favourite part about that restaurant was their fur babies. They have 3 labrador and 1 golden retriever roaming around in their restaurant. All 4 pets are very friendly and adorable. The view was breathtaking. You get to have a sea view from your table. The owner Neville is a gem of a person who recommended us the best food we could have there. Service was top notch.

The place has a beautiful beach view with a cool breeze, and the overall ambience felt vintage and very pleasant. The food was tasty, especially the Goan special curries, and they also offered a variety of side dishes like breads, which was a nice touch. However, I did feel that the food was a little overpriced, and the service could be improved, as I felt slightly off with the way the staff attended. Still, overall, it was a good experience with great food and a lovely setting.

An absolute oasis of calm just a stone’s throw from the beach — and the best part? They have dogs. 🐾 The place was spotless, serene, and full of wagging tails. There was Chai — who took his sweet time sizing me up — but once he decided I was worthy, he turned into a furry shadow I couldn’t shake off. There were plenty of other dogs too… their names escape me (I blame the post-lunch siesta vibes). Neville, the host, clearly has an eye for the devils in the details — every little touch spoke of care and quiet precision. Service was everything Goa should be — prompt but unhurried, polite without being performative. That perfect susegad balance where no one rushes you, but you never feel forgotten either. Yes, the food leans on the pricier side, but it more than makes up for it with generous portions and knockout flavor. All in all, it was a wonderful afternoon with friends reuniting after twenty-odd years — stories, laughter, and a few dog cuddles later, it felt like no time had passed at all. Until the next time… 🌴🍻

One of my favourite spots in Goa! The combination of the place, the people, and the food makes it worth visiting every time. The owner is incredibly kind and always has great recommendations. With direct beach access through the restaurant and a quaint, relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with a cocktail and a great meal. I absolutely love this place.

Very good Owner is very nice, athletic and friendly. We spent 10K for 10 members Price are high due to the Caligunte beach ⛱️ which is ok Interesting: " you can do a push up challenge against the owner- if you beat him- you will get a free COCKTAIL 🍸 Which is good, by the why I lost to him at 39 Pushups where he did 45... this is fun Tropical Virgin is my fav favorite Chicken salad is lit Fish and sea food are best Great ambience

And upscale beach restaurant run by Neville and family. I would solely recommend Goan food here as it's the yummiest. I will suggest one to have their lip smacking soulful dishes like vegetable xacuti, steamed fish in banana leaf, goan prawn curry in coconut milk, and their desert serradura. The quantity is well balanced. I just loved the hospitality here. Very friendly and welcoming. One can open the gate of the property and wallah... you'll enter the beach.

A cozy beachside restaurant, with a wide assortment of delicious delicacies! The place can be accessible from the beachside and has warm and friendly staff members, who ensure your pleasant enjoyable experience at the place, be it the food, the drinks or the calming vibes of the beach itself!

There is outstanding and there is world class. These guys are the real deal. Meat is slow cooked, which is fantastic, and they always (operative word) have a working tandoor for cooked meat which is available less than you think in Goa! Lamb korma and lamb biryani (together, shared between) is a must here. An impressive thing is also the versatility, they did pasta and meatballs (which were self made), curry and steak very well. Very good and non disruptive digestively, which is crucial. No chance of Delhi belly here! Decent wine. This isn’t a cheeky endorsement; they really are world class. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to, anywhere. I’ve always pined for places which do food that good, I’ll never miss the chance to recommend one that does.

very tasty. variety of dishes. beautiful presentation of dishes. Good service, friendly staff.

Fire n Ice is the best restaurant in Baga. The staff are AMAZING, the food is delicious, the menu is diverse, and they even make gluten-free meals on request! Many westerners enjoy eating here and often make it a daily routine because of the great service, food, and atmosphere.

Don’t normally post restaurant reviews but myself , hubby and two friends went to Fire and Ice on CSM road last night… which we have used many times in the past 9 years. Food is always excellent, service brilliant and having eaten surf and turf (with a lobster tail!) on many occasions including 1 week ago where it cost 1100 rupees , was shocked (hubby nearly had a heart attack!!!!) to get charged 7000 rupees for 2 of the same meals!!!!! When we questioned the manager he said that’s the price!!!! Bearing in mind the dearest steak was 690 rupees!!! Shame but we won’t be eating there again 😣😔

5 star restaurant and service. I think it was ranked nr2 in tripadvisor. Smaller place on a sidestreet but mustvisitplace!

Tbh I didn't really fancy it here as it was quite touristy , but the food and the service where brilliant... Came back another two times!

Brilliant place, extensive menu, talented chef, great staff

Great food. We tried multiple starters and cocktails. Worth the value and taste. Enjoyed. Recommend trying Prawns Butter Garlic, Pomfret Fry, and Golden fried calamari!

Safe and friendly place. Came with a family and we were well looked after for a number of days. We did try other places for food before finding Pedro’s, but they did not compare. The ladies on the beach will not be overbearing offering drinks etc. They got the balance right in my opinion. Spent all day with family of four. Drinks, lassi’s, juices, snacks, lunch, beers, water and coffees for between 2500-3000 for the whole family, the whole day. Quite incredible. Fish tikka for lunch was a personal favourite. 👍

I don't think I've met more friendly and trustworthy staff at any shack ever. Pedro's Place is now a staple visit everytime I'm in Goa. The food is great, Pedro has his own special coffee and club sandwich, and the staff will help you out with literally anything you need. They also have an open shower and a private washroom to wash off the sand and freshen up after the beach.

This place is the worst place ever I’ve visited in Goa. It takes forever to get your food. Also the people who are working in here are so rude. Please go somewhere other than this place. It is not good at all.

Super amazing place. Such friendly & helpful staff. And delicious food as always!! Been here every day untill the rains. Will recommend this place to all.

I came here upon seeing the reviews, and they couldn’t be more right about. Its one of the best shacks on the stretch. Very reasonably priced and worth the money. Their hospitality is 10/10.

Pedro's place one of my favorite places to eat. Tried different dishes and all were very tasty. The atmosphere is calm and friendly. In the evening you can dine on the beach by candlelight. The staff is trying for their customers, there is a menu in Russian language and English. Meals can be prepared according to your wishes. I often asked without salt and sugar. Guys Chandru and Ashok have always been polite , they always suggested what I might like from the dishes and every time they guessed what I wanted. Hope to eat again soon at this lovely place

For our group this restaurant came as blessing in disguise. We were looking for a pizza restaurant serving halaal chicken and luckily we found the best in the town. The show stopper Mateen Bhai welcomed us with great hospitality and suggested his dishes considering our taste buds and trust me everything on the table was lip smacking tasty. We went there twice, once for lunch and then for dinner. We had their pizzas, pastas, starters (Try their chic wings, chic drumstick, chic pocket) you will surely order one more round. Best part is that they use their own homemade spicies so there is a sort of unique taste in every dish. Keep us the good work. Wish I visit you guys often.

Perfect place around Calangute with a perfect vibe and mouth watering snacks. Amongst the hustle of crowded beaches around, this place stands out with its cozy ambiance and delicious food. The interiors were just fantastic. Expect some waiting time as mostly it's crowded, but must have a go if you're looking for a perfect time with your friends and dear ones..

We had the veg pizza. It was super tasty. The owner is very friendly. It was pouring when we reached the restaurant, owner came out himself to show us way to park the car. It was owners birthday that day the staff was celebrating cutting cake. It all had very happy vibes. 😊 Will definitely go here again when I'm in Goa next time.

We tried their Wood fired Margherita Pizza, Barbeque Wings and Red Sauce Pasta alongwith a Pinã Colada and LIIT. The Pizza was super thin and crunchy with cheese being ample but the tomato/marinara sauce could've been a lot better as we could taste uncooked tomatoes. The Barbeque Wings were asked to be made spicy and they did deliver on that. The quantity of the wings was sufficient for one person to gorge on. The pasta was average and had no distinct flavour to it and could have used more sauces and seasoning. The cocktails were nice and coupled with the loud music and dim lighting, they did bring on a slight buzz. They have a pool table (chargeable) and games to play if you want to while some time away. The restaurant has some parking space out front but it can get jumbled and jammed at times. It's a nice joint but has the potential to be a lot better.

Absolutely amazing, wonderful place to relax, have fun and wonderful food. LOVED the mixed sauce pasta, and the pizza was too good as well.

Pulled up to this cozy lil' café with the friends for some wood fire Royal Pizza, vibes were on point 🔥👑🍕 Ambiance was chill, perfect spot to kick it and catch up. That Royal Pizza hit different crispy crust, fire toppings, no cap. Definately a spot we’re hittin’ again. 10/10 for chillin’ & chewin’ 😎🍕

Was there in June this year. We had gone for a dinner after reading the reviews. Must say it was a marvelous decision to come here. Great atmosphere, very lively and youthful vibes. We ordered veg and chicken pizzas and great drinks to go with it. Simply enjoyed the delicious food sitting for hours together. Every bite was so full of taste and flavour. Max helped us in selecting our menu. Even after three months can't forget the taste. Anyone wanting to have great pizza while in Goa, don't miss out on this place. Completely worth it. Thanks 👍

The service was good and they do have parking space, plus both indoor and outdoor dining areas that are neat and well kept. I tried many dishes here - the pork vindaloo and butter garlic prawns were nice, but everything else felt very average. The food is on the expensive side and honestly not worth the price.

Nice place to visit if you are in this area. They have outdoor seating as well as indoor seating with aircon which seems a must in October heat. All the dishes we tried were very good. The sweet corn soup was nice . The hummus and veg spring rolls were superb. The prawn curry rice was excellent. A very different and great taste . Apple pie was nice . Service was excellent and prompt.

Crab recheado, chorizo poi, and chicken fry were amazing! Side note, 2 drink items were added on our bill that we did not order- they were able to reconcile in a professional manner. Love the live band!

We went here to celebrate my brother's birthday after reading that this place has got that vibe & all but in actuality, it was nothing like that and the overall vibe was very thanda thanda. After consulting with the staff we have ordered Goan chicken fry, Kingfish fry in Goan style and chicken fried rice. The chicken fry was good which was spicy, tangy and served along with Goan Poi. We didn't like the kingfish fry as it was not the fry we expected, we thought it would be served as rava fried. The chicken fried rice was bad, it didn't satisfy our taste buds as it was more on the sweeter side. The main reason to visit here was to get those vibes that were missed and the food was okay okayish.

I tried based on reviews. But wasnt that gpod. The waiting was huge, we were made to sit outside, and the time to serve food was also pretty long. Surmai was fresh, but the size was very small. Pls go to Fat fish for better food experience

Decent place to try good Goan cuisine and service was good despite of the crowd. Recommend butter garlic prawns, calamari tempura and authentic dessert Bebinka. Blueberry cheesecake was finger licking good!

Went on vacation during a great time (off season), the restaurant was not at its peak hour and we enjoyed the entire meal. Food was pretty good, especially the Goan sausage Poi. I am sure to visit this restaurant whenever I am in Goa next. Can’t tell much about the atmosphere since it was day time, but loved the look of the place.

A vibrant tapestry of sights, sounds, and smells, Mapusa Market is an absolute must-visit for anyone wanting to experience the authentic buzz of Goa.

A bustling market in Goa. Here you can buy goan traditional sweets, savouries. Footwear, bags, clothes all are available at cheap rate ..need to bargain a little if you are a tourist.

Nice beach with scenic views.

It is certainly not a beach, it's a fishing area but if people wants to make it beach they can, u can enjoy Kayaking from this area with mesmerizing views @Kayak Adventure Chapora

Chapora Beach is a nice spot with a relaxed vibe and beautiful views, especially around sunset. It’s less crowded than some of the more popular beaches, which is a plus if you want some quiet time. However, the beach itself can be a bit rocky in places and isn’t as clean as I hoped. There aren’t many facilities nearby, so it’s best to come prepared. Overall, it’s worth a visit if you’re exploring the area, but don’t expect a pristine, full-service beach experience.

It's January and low tide, there's literally no one in the beach, it's more of a fishing area. Full of wood, coconut shells and boats laying around.

Good beach to stay in. You can spend few hours at Chapora beach. You can trek and relax at the top. You can click good photos on chapora fort. Its 1 and half km of distance from chapora beach. So go and get good scenery photos.

Beaches are always a place to relax and feel well.... One of the best places of view and sunset

Chapora beach is a coastal village at Chapora river estuary lying alongside a beach stretch in North Goa that is around 10 km from Mapusa. It's a nice beach... Because I live close by. One on the left which is big vagator, lots of shacks and European... Small vagator mostly movie shooting and Indian tourist . Wonderful view especially for selfie pictures. I really like such a beautiful place.

It is a cozy spot with a very aesthetic vibe :-) We tried their Red Sauce Pasta and Lebanese platter, both of which were incredibly flavorful. The pasta was a standout. Their cocktail menu is impressive, and the Lemon Ice is a refreshing must-try. While the portion sizes might be smaller than expected, the quality of the food more than makes up for it.

Great ambience and an interesting menu, but food portions and taste do not match the menu description or the price. Service is slow. The pastas are average. Most shockingly, for a place serving Italian food, they're out of stock for bread.

One of those places that try to act fancy by treating their customers badly, really ruined our night. I had a headache and asked the manager to reduce the volume a little which he denied even though there was almost no one else at the restaurant, They could have easily accommodated us. Service was slow, there were mosquitoes and the risotto I had was as good as I’ve had at any other place. Wouldn’t recommend. Small portions, high prices. Don’t understand why was the vegetarian section so much more expensive than the non veg options, but yeah goes on brand with the bougie attitude.

I especially liked the atmosphere and music. During off-season the place isn't very busy but still very enjoyable if you like it a bit less crowded. I only had a starter but it was plenty, especially with the garlic bread served as a side dish. During elections the bar is closed and you can't get any alcoholic drinks.

We visited this restaurant after going through a few positive reviews. Firstly, I have to mention about the ambience. Looks very posh, very classy, perfect colour combinations. The pricing is a little on the higher side but the presentation was like the MasterChef dishes. No AC, outer seating. A huge let down is the mosquitos because of the natural plants. Each dish has a philosophy behind it and is presented as a reflection of their philosophy. We ordered Pasta (both Alfredo and pink sauce), omelette and garlic bread and Coffeholics anonymous for dessert. Each dish tasted great. No complaints for the price we paid. However, for a restaurant so stunning, the waiters were not that great. They were lost in their own world, and we had to return the dish back to the kitchen. But the singer that day, was awesome and just transported us to a whole new world.

The ambience is so subtle yet soothing, the food was brilliant, and the cost was not too high for the quality of food being served. I absolutely loved the amount of thought and intricate work which was put into every dish, making each element shine on it's own. I feel like I've had my MasterChef tasting experience. If you're in Goa, this is a must visit !!

Good food... good music... good interiors... good service... all in all a great place... Veg Pad Thai noodles and veg spring rolls were truly amazing... Risotto is also great! If looking for a nice fancy dinner then this is the place for you...

Grand main MG street building with Satya Meva Jayate marble slab over the main door.Small collection .Staff says thousands yet to be displayed articles lying within.Needs caring proud citizens to force The Deciders to spend money on Museum of the State. Are all Sussegadd sleeping 😴 or ignorant or no budget for real culture preservation display of artifacts? Western Music classes going on above floor as nothing else to do for over staffed over security filled building .Awaken !

Visited today, 07-11-25. Entry Free. It's small with about 3 ground floor rooms. There are a few items of interest. But don't go out if you way to visit. Takes about 20 minutes to see all exhibits. Photos of most interesting attached >in my veiw]

Just one thing keep in your mind don't go here around 12:30-1:30 pm because it's their lunch time . we didn't know that before so they told us to come after 1:30 pm. it's not that interested according to my pov.

Free Entry in Goa State Museum. Lots of art and sculptures are there in the showcase. Unfortunately there is not much space to put all the art together. Many of them are in Godown and not in the showcase. Must visit, it is near the Cruise entry gate.

Very small. Could be better. Goa has rich heritage and has undergone intense freedom struggle. But the museum sadly doesn't reflect it. Disappointed 😔

Cool and free museum. Good selection of artifacts for its size. Make sure to see the woodwork items, especially the pillars at the beginning and the inlaid furniture from the Portuguese era. There's some sati stones commemorating women who committed suicide on their husband's funeral pyre.

For a rich heritage state like Goa this state museum could have been better, very limited artifacts pre portuguese invasion and post invasion. You can cover the entire museum in 15-20 min it is that small. A free to visit museum and located centrally

They had a great exhibition of contemporary minituarist art some of which is absolutely stunning. There was also a small gallery with some old "company art" It's a lovely building with a cool cafe in the middle. It's a bit of a climb to get there. But in my opinion we'll worth it

This was such a terrific first visit. While I shall definitely visit again, I’m just so entirely taken by the premises itself but also its location.went for the recent Goa Arts show and was bowled over by the first two pieces. The others were underwhelming for me, but that’s the best part about art, right? That some of it speaks to some of us? Striking exterior is quite the photo op unto itself. Hoping to grab something to eat at their cafe next time!

Sunaparanta - Goa Center for the Arts, Goa 🎨⛱️ Immerse in Art and Culture at Sunaparanta Nestled in the serene Altinho hills of Panjim, the Sunaparanta, Goa Centre for the Arts, is a vibrant cultural hub that offers a delightful blend of traditional Goan charm and contemporary art. Founded in 2009 by the visionary Dattaraj V. Salgaocar, this non-profit center aims to preserve Goa's artistic legacy while fostering modern creative expressions. The term "Sunaparanta" is rooted in Buddhist tradition, combining "Suna" (a place) and "Aparanta" (the region of fierce people), aptly reflecting the center's bold and dynamic approach to art. Housed in a beautifully restored Portuguese bungalow, the center boasts terracotta roofs, sweeping staircases, and a central courtyard that enhances its rustic yet grand aesthetic. Art lovers can immerse themselves in a variety of exhibitions featuring both local and international artists. The center is well-known for its eclectic programming, including the annual Sensorium Festival, which explores the intersection of various art forms such as photography, literature, and cinema. Additionally, the Shanghvi Salons offer intellectually stimulating discussions with renowned personalities from the creative world. Sunaparanta also hosts workshops, film screenings, and children's programs, making it a lively space for artistic engagement. Notable programs include "Film for Thought," which screens critically acclaimed films, and "In Stages," a theatre workshop for teenagers. The open-air Café Al Fresco is a must-visit, serving delectable dishes in a charming setting. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely meal while soaking in the artistic ambiance. Open from Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 6:30 PM, Sunaparanta is a cultural gem in Goa that transcends the typical beach-centric allure of the state. Entrance is free, though certain events may require prior registration.

This destination is a must-visit, offering a unique fusion of art, nature, and serenity, with a lovely ambiance, plenty of trees, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it perfect for solo travelers and photography enthusiasts, and it's free of charge.

Bodega snacks are great! And the show was really thought-provoking

Sunalarantha is an art gallery place in Panjim. Its around 2km from the main city centre/ bus stand. You can have an Auto Riksha and go there. Here you can see a lot of art exhibitions. It seem like they promote young artists to showcase their creativity and ideas. Here we are welcomed with very beautiful natural shadow and great ambiance. The theme of art exhibition may change over a couple of weeks. The entry is fully free. One Cafe is also working here. Thats also very nice. Reading a nice book along with a cup of coffee is always great. Varieties of hot and cold drinks with lot of pastries/snacks items are available here. One of the must visit place in Goa. Best wishes.!

Must-visit place for all the artistic souls! Peaceful, creative and mesmerising gallery of art. Easy to locate and parking space is available. If your taste buds are looking for some treat, then there's an extraordinary cafe inside Sunaparanta, named 'Cafe Al Fresco by Bodega'. This cafe serves delicious food and the ambience is truly dreamy. This cafe is the perfect 'date-place'!

What can I say about this place, this is one of the best place I love to spend my time when in Goa. Beautiful shack at Candolim beach where you can just relax and enjoy the peaceful beach with lip smacking food. This shack even has toys setup such as slide, hammock etc so even my kid enjoys here a lot. Food is amazing, drinks cocktails are worth trying and mostly the owners. I have never experienced hospitality like this anywhere in Goa. They even offer bbq in the evening with candle light dinner.

It's a seasonal beachcafe. live beach bar be que worth of experience ✅. Family owned beach shack with family atmosphere. Jo&Jo together along with the team they all give you warm welcome and comforts . As it's seasonal we sometimes miss team members but rudy covers it up .

Goa, baby! Where the sun is hot, the sand is soft, and the vibes are pure vacation magic. The staff? Friendlier than a coconut seller in July. And the food? So good, it's like a party in your mouth with every bite. Whether you're soaking up rays or sipping on cocktails, this place is your one-way ticket to beach bliss. Just don't forget your flip-flops and your sense of adventure!

Wow, this is the best food I’ve had in Goa! The barbecue food is amazing and is cooked perfectly with so much flavour. The staff are very friendly and looked after us so well. We will definitely be back!

We had a great experience. The vibe was amazing served with panoramic views of the ocean and delicious bites on the side. Their cocktails are also crafted well. Harshita is super thoughtful and will make sure you have a super experience.

Absolutely loved the place! The ambience is stunning with beautiful sea views, perfect for sunsets. The vibe is classy yet relaxed. Food was delicious — especially the Mediterranean dishes — and the cocktails were refreshing. Service was quick and friendly, and the staff made sure we had a great experience. A perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a chill evening with friends. Definitely one of the best places to visit in Goa!

Can’t explain my experience at olive today. Lovely atmosphere, great location, and delicious food. All the staff members were really amazing, Can’t remember if I have seen Such an amazing staff in a restaurant, especially Harshita, she was Really good and very attentive. I love her smile and amazing person such an asset.

Olive at Vagator Beach, Goa 🌊🍝 is an amazing restaurant that offers a perfect blend of delicious food and stunning beach views! The spaghetti was absolutely outstanding — easily one of the best I’ve ever had 👌. Every dish, from the tacos 🌮 and paneer BBQ 🍢 to the refreshing drinks 🍹, was full of rich flavor and beautifully served. The beach view adds a refreshing and soothing atmosphere, making the whole experience extra special 🌅✨. With great food, relaxing vibes, and friendly service, Olive is truly a must-visit spot in Goa!

I visited this place on 30th September 2025 and had one of the most disappointing experiences ever. The staff’s behavior was shockingly unprofessional and discriminatory. I have stayed and been to Taj, ITC, Vibe, Hyatt, Windmill Craftworks and some more 5 -star places in Dubai as well but never experienced this kind of scenario. 1st incident: When we arrived, a couple was seated at a particular table. After they left, a family with a child requested the same spot. To my surprise, the waiter refused and told them that the seat is reserved for large gatherings, which is a lie since that rich man with a load of cash with his gf/wife was sitting there for the last 45 mins. I personally overheard this, and it was appalling to witness such open bias. 2nd incident: I asked the waiter to clarify whether the pepperoni pizza was made with chicken (as it often is in Bengaluru) or pork. Instead of answering politely, he mocked me and, in a condescending tone, said “pepperoni is pork!” Also, there was a cat roaming around the restaurant climbing on the chairs and around food which might be acceptable for some blind cat lovers but not to us. Even after we requested them to remove her they didnt pay heed. A true 5- star would have never treated their customers in this manner! For a place that is overpriced and seems to pride itself on serving only so-called “high-class” customers, the management clearly misunderstands what true class and elegance mean. True high-class service is defined by courtesy, respect, and inclusivity — qualities that were entirely absent here. Overall, a demeaning and unpleasant experience. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The food is commendable. We had Aglio e olio, Chef's selection of vegetables pizza ( image attached ), coco cooler cocktail ( image attached ), artichoke barigoule. The ambience of the place is welcoming and you get a view of beach from there so it's a bonus.

Slow service because of less staff. Pasta was nice and drinks were decent. Location is beautiful

Easily one of the best dinner’s we’ve had. We ordered the Burrata Salad, Beet Spaghetti, Not Pad Thai Prawns and Textures of Olive for dessert. This went beyond just dinner and became an experience we wouldn’t forget. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

It's a full-fledged European taste that makes you forget you're in India. Where has the chef been trained? Hats off. Never before has I come across this quality in Bangalore. I would like this restaurant to be opened in Bangalore as well. Come on.

Great joint in Panjim to chill on a lazy afternoon. Ample parking. We had the Lotus Stem, Mango Vietnamese Rolls, Not Pad Thai and the Veggie Burger. All top notch. Must visit!

Came here due to a recommendation from a friend. And needless to say it exceeded expectations. Mind blowing food, excellent cost ambience and top class service.

Very beautiful place, has a European cuisine. They only own Goa made drinks. I was curious and tried their pork pulled burger. It was deliciously mouth watering and their fries were on point. Thats when i know a restaurant is worth a return .

Beautiful place. Quiet and service is top notch. Great food. Goan with a twist. Parking is plentiful.

This is such an incredible place, been here multiple times and their food is always so good and it keeps changing based on the season. They have a great selection of drinks as well
