By the time we trundled into Ministry of Beer, North Goa edition, it was just past 10 pm and we were already one bad decision down — a tragic attempt to locate a place called Bar Outrigger, which we’re now convinced exists only in the imagination of a cartographer with a flair for mystery. AfterContinue reading “Restaurant Review: Ministry of Beer, North Goa”

Nora’s Cantina, Novotel, Panaji: Restaurant Review
Some Saturday nights, you crave chaos—the kind of place where elbows knock over cocktails and the music competes with a hundred conversations. Other times, you want something quieter, a little more dignified, preferably somewhere that doesn’t involve fighting off a group of teenagers for the last barstool. This Saturday, we were in the latter mood.Continue reading “Nora’s Cantina, Novotel, Panaji: Restaurant Review”
Zomato vs Swiggy: The Great Indian Food Fight
If there’s one battle that’s been fought longer and harder than the one between Coke and Pepsi, Messi and Ronaldo, or Delhi vs Mumbai street food—it’s Zomato vs Swiggy. These two food delivery giants have been at war for our appetites (and our wallets) for years, and while they both essentially do the same thing—bringContinue reading “Zomato vs Swiggy: The Great Indian Food Fight”
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”
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”

Tora Shir – Restaurant Review
Tora Shir, translating to “raw mango slices,” is the latest iteration of a restaurant space that has undergone several transformations—first known as Firefly, then Tropica, and now Tora Shir. Each name has brought a different flavor to this South Goa locale, but this latest outing is a mix of hits and misses. The ambience atContinue reading “Tora Shir – Restaurant Review”
