Edge Bar, Alila Diwa Goa- Restaurant Review

There comes a moment in every Goan’s regular life when the usual haunts begin to feel… well, too usual. The same faces. The same menus. The same cocktail that somehow still isn’t quite strong enough. And so, on a Saturday night, in the spirit of adventure (and a deep need for a place that wouldn’tContinue reading “Edge Bar, Alila Diwa Goa- Restaurant Review”

Black Sheep Bistro, Aguada(Review): A Saturday Night Gamble That Paid Off

Some Saturday nights, you just want to shake things up a little. Do something different. Not just sit around watching yet another football match with the lads who, at this point, care more about their fantasy league points than actual human interaction. So, in a fit of spontaneity (or mild existential dread), we decided toContinue reading “Black Sheep Bistro, Aguada(Review): A Saturday Night Gamble That Paid Off”

Pings Bia Hoi, Sangolda (Review)– Love You Long Time? Maybe Just Once.

Some restaurants are like exes—you think about them often, you make vague plans to visit, and yet, somehow, you never quite end up there. Pings Bia Hoi in Sangolda was my restaurant equivalent of that. Always on the list, but never quite the final destination. But this time, it was my birthday. A day forContinue reading “Pings Bia Hoi, Sangolda (Review)– Love You Long Time? Maybe Just Once.”

MTW Bar, Panjim (Review): A Red-Hot Secret Behind a Doorbell

Some bars want you. They flash neon signs, blast music loud enough to shatter your eardrums, and throw bouncers at you like overenthusiastic recruiters. MTW Bar, however, plays hard to get. You don’t just walk in. You ring a bell. So, there we were, standing outside a nondescript door in Panjim on a Saturday night,Continue reading “MTW Bar, Panjim (Review): A Red-Hot Secret Behind a Doorbell”

Feri Bar, Goa, Review :The Kind of Place You Wish More People Knew About (But Also Hope They Never Do)

By some cosmic miracle—or perhaps just sheer avoidance of the typical Saturday night madness—we found ourselves at Feri Bar in North Goa, a place that offers a much-needed reprieve from the stampede of Goa’s party-chasing, cocktail-spilling, “Wooo, Goa!” shouting weekend warriors. Instead of squeezing through a crowd thicker than a Delhi traffic jam, we choseContinue reading “Feri Bar, Goa, Review :The Kind of Place You Wish More People Knew About (But Also Hope They Never Do)”

Larder + Folk, Panaji Goa : Restaurant Review

Some Sundays begin with grand plans. Brunch at a much-hyped restaurant, perhaps? Or maybe a lazy afternoon discovering that cozy nook everyone’s been raving about. This week armed with determination and empty stomach, we made it to Larder + Folk, nestled in the charming and ever-so-slightly disheveled Fontainhas area. First impressions matter, and Larder +Continue reading “Larder + Folk, Panaji Goa : Restaurant Review”

Caravela Café & Bistro, Panjim: Restaurant Review

There’s something about Sunday mornings in Goa that compels you to step out of your weekday shell. Perhaps it’s the slow unravel of the state’s inherent charm, or maybe it’s just the simple allure of good coffee and a hearty breakfast waiting somewhere. This past Sunday, inspired by an appetite for adventure (and eggs), weContinue reading “Caravela Café & Bistro, Panjim: Restaurant Review”

Ye Catarina, Panaji, Goa : Restaurant Review

It’s a rare pleasure, dining in a place that manages to be unapologetically chic yet utterly unpretentious. Ye Catarina in Fontainhas, Panjim, is precisely that—a little European enclave that feels like it was plucked from a cobblestone street in Lisbon and gently deposited in the heart of Goa. Here, amidst the kaleidoscope of Fontainhas’ heritageContinue reading “Ye Catarina, Panaji, Goa : Restaurant Review”

Kalliste, Colva, South Goa : Restaurant Review

Ah, South Goa on a Saturday night. These days, it’s not exactly the first place you’d be itching to hit up, is it? Not because of a shortage of good eateries, mind you—there are plenty of places dishing out delicious food—but because the energy just hasn’t been…let’s say, sizzling. However, exceptions can be made, andContinue reading “Kalliste, Colva, South Goa : Restaurant Review”
