A lil bit of Slurr and a whole lot of Kokum Curry

Panaji, Goa : Restaurant Review There are evenings that feel like they’ve been lightly dusted with cinnamon and goodwill, and this particular Saturday in Panjim was very much one of them. It was Christmas season — that glorious annual window when calories don’t count, spirits are high (both metaphorically and in glasses), and even theContinue reading “A lil bit of Slurr and a whole lot of Kokum Curry”

A Chimbel House, Panaji – Goa review

There are some restaurants that you visit once and instantly know you’ll be back—because the food is divine, the service impeccable, and the whole evening feels like a warm hug with a side of burrata. And then there are others you’ll return to simply because the setting is so absurdly gorgeous, you’re prepared to forgiveContinue reading “A Chimbel House, Panaji – Goa review”

Fika Coffee Co., Panjim : Review

We set out on a Sunday morning in search of brunch, lured by the siren song of high Zomato ratings and glowing Swiggy reviews. Fika, they said. A name whispered with reverence, as if brunching there would instantly elevate us into Goa’s café-hopping elite. What we found, however, was… well, less divine revelation, more extensionContinue reading “Fika Coffee Co., Panjim : Review”

Yaki Zushi, Goa, Restaurant Review: Snazzy Sushi and Soju Shenanigans

So, for our second jaunt to Yaki Zushi, we walked in expecting the usual cozy familiarity — but lo and behold, the place has had what I can only describe as a glow-up. Think less “Japanese hole-in-the-wall” and more “Tokyo got bored and moved to Goa.” The walls? Chic. The chairs? Cushy. The vibe? Energetic,Continue reading “Yaki Zushi, Goa, Restaurant Review: Snazzy Sushi and Soju Shenanigans”

Antonio’s at 31, Panaji Goa : The Hole-in-the-Wall That Knows Exactly What It’s Doing

There’s a thing happening in Panjim right now. A sort of divine resurgence of the hole-in-the-wall — the kind of place that, once upon a time, might’ve been referred to as “that joint behind the shop that sells extension cords,” but which now doubles as the coolest new spot you didn’t discover first. Ever sinceContinue reading “Antonio’s at 31, Panaji Goa : The Hole-in-the-Wall That Knows Exactly What It’s Doing”

Isabella’s Tapas Bar, Panaji- Goa : Restaurant Review

It was one of those gloriously Goan monsoon Saturdays — the kind where the sky can’t decide if it’s lightly weeping or unleashing emotional trauma. Naturally, that’s when I thought: “Let’s go eat tiny Spanish food in small ceramic bowls.” And thus, off we trudged, umbrellas flapping and enthusiasm mildly soggy, to Isabella’s Tapas BarContinue reading “Isabella’s Tapas Bar, Panaji- Goa : Restaurant Review”

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”

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”

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”
