Fishka is somewhat my best kind of review – a restaurant I wasn’t really planning to write about, but somehow it waylaid me. Hence, the lack of photos. Well, I’ve posted a couple but these are from previous visits. People will always compare its previous location to where it has settled these days, and there’sContinue reading “Fishka – Restaurant Review”

Petisco, Goa- Restaurant Review
It’s a time of mixed blessings. And in the current situation, you count them all. One is having the liberty to drive around on a Sunday, walk into a restaurant and know that it’s likely you’ll get a seat without reservation. This was an adventure we attempted last Sunday. A detour to one of theContinue reading “Petisco, Goa- Restaurant Review”
The Chocolate Room, Margao, Goa
Everyone needs a pick-me-up now and then. For us, this was between shopping and making the long drive home. The promise of a hot drink and a snack was too delicious to pass up and we end up at The Chocolate Room in Margao. The Chocolate Room is tiny but mighty. A small counter isContinue reading “The Chocolate Room, Margao, Goa”
Red Ginger, Colva- Restaurant Review
On the way from Vasco to Colva to Red Ginger’s new location, I noticed near-empty streets. It seemed like everyone had opted for a Sunday afternoon of telly or Netflix. It’s difficult to find consistently open restaurants these days and always a good idea to call beforehand. But Red Ginger was definitely open; the goodContinue reading “Red Ginger, Colva- Restaurant Review”
Purple Martini at Sunset Point, Goa
A romantic outing to Purple Martini isn’t included in “Tips to help your relationship“ because people are just too stereotype. Move over candlelight dinners and serenaders. A restaurant with a heady view can bring back the magic too. On a day when I didn’t have the emotional bandwidth to travel all the way to theContinue reading “Purple Martini at Sunset Point, Goa”
The Liebster Award, Get to Know Me

Tataki- Immersive Asian Dining- Restaurant Review
Buzz is a crucial lever of the restaurant scene. It will put more patrons in seats and napkins on lapels than grand taste, fancy seasonings or organic produce. Tataki has made moves on Panaji- in a swashbuckling yet subtle way by placing itself in Panaji’s most happening corner that houses Soho and Down The Road,Continue reading “Tataki- Immersive Asian Dining- Restaurant Review”
Moment Marketing – Does it help brands?
The other day I came across this news article that stated that Maurizio Cattelan’s much talked-about Banana artwork is now in the Guggenheim museum in New York, courtesy an anonymous donor. The piece of art which went viral, Maurizio Cattelan’s Comedian – a simple banana, duct-taped to a wall and priced at $ 120,000 wasContinue reading “Moment Marketing – Does it help brands?”
Black Market, Goa- Restaurant Review
The best moments happen when they are unplanned. And moments like these are rare. In the middle of a work day, thanks to some free time, we went out to lunch. Selecting a restaurant these days is like picking a bespoke suit. There’s so much to take into consideration : the taste, the style ofContinue reading “Black Market, Goa- Restaurant Review”
Viva Panjim, Goa- Restaurant Review
The most earnestly laid plans can go awry. Sunday is our day for the South. The South of Goa that is. It is our personal ritual every Sunday to drive down South and spend time doing what we like best : eating, drinking and languorously hanging out. But I am informed that we’re heading NorthContinue reading “Viva Panjim, Goa- Restaurant Review”
