Short description- in case u r in a hurry:

When we planned to go to Goa, two of our  foodie friends , aalok and anurag independently suggested this place. So we went there with great hopes.

After we entered, I realized I have been here with my work colleagues and had loved this place.

The restaurant is situated in a beautiful old restored building. Interiors maintain the heritage very well.

They had a comprehensive coffee menu. Very interesting.

Service was very good.

Food was lovely – As good as we remembered from our earlier visit.

Detailed description- in case u hv the time to njoy reading:

Fish cakes full flavours of fish, flakes of fish evident, spices and chillies made their present felt.

Beautifully balanced. Rate it 4.25/5

Prawn plancha was very nice. It had full bodied flavours of fresh prawns.

The prawns were served with head and limbs – that let the chef to pump in more prawn flavours into the dish. Rate it 4.5/5

Red kishmoor fish was served on a bed of lettuce – lovely salad to munch on.

For the uninitiated, kishmoor is a local Goan dish made from dried mini prawns. Kishmoor accentuated the taste and flavours of the dish. The fish was very nice and flaky. Rate the dish 4.5/5

For dessert we had Layered pistachio kheer. Very unique in concept and presentation I wud say.

The kheer was thick and intense to taste. Kheer was placed in between crisp caramelised layers. To balance the sweet there was a sour cream with loads of pistachio on them. Loved it. Rate it 4.25/5

Overall rating of food here averages out to 4.3/5

Will hv to revisit many more times to explore the full menu which has a lot of creative dishes
