Where to eat International food in Goa: The Best Restaurants and Bars

April 2, 2020 Cedrick Jardin

Reviews on International food in Goa, India. The sandy coast of Goa is perfect for reclining by the sea. Nestle into a cushioned chair at a beach shack and savor a curry while you sip a Kingfisher beer, watching the sun slip lazily below the horizon. In Old Goa, the beautiful Basilica of Bom Jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fine example of baroque architecture. Visit during Christmastime to experience a fantastic religious and cultural mash-up of East and West.

Sam's Goan Beach Shack

Reviewed By tabbycat

we spent every day of our 2 week holiday at Sams shack and had a great time. food and drink plentiful however menu a bit limited we queried why there were no biryanis on the menu and were told we could have one just ask for it.We tended to eat indian food for lunch and everything was excellent , we had dinner once and there was a fantastic atmosphere - we wished we had gone back for dinner more.Prices were all very reasonable

Waterfront Terrace & Bar

Enjoy the exclusive 24-hour poolside and indoor restaurant at Goa Marriott Resort & Spa. Our family restaurant's eclectic international menu offers Indian, Asian and Mediterranean cuisine, all created with a twist by our innovative chefs.

This evening we opted for the Italian a la carte section of the menu and started off with the Pescatore pizza (seafood). This pizza was well executed and had flavourful and fresh seafood as its topping. The thin crust was perfect. For mains, we ordered the Carbonara Spaghetti with much trepidation as very few outlets have mastered the art of preparing the carbonara sauce. The pasta was cooked al dente (as requested) but the sauce left a lot to be desired. There were finely chopped white onions which were used in the preparation of the sauce base, which was not expected. The bacon too was not crispy and resembled ham more than bacon. It was served with a crusty garlic bun.We ended the meal with the Salted Caramel dome from the Goa Baking company. This dessert was enjoyable.The service provided by Harsh was attentive and professional.The restaurant was noisy and chaotic.

While the location & ambience is good, the food & drink is average at best and highly overpriced. Moreover the owners do not take feedback well and therefore are unlikely to improve. On a 'Google review' they pasted a link in response which said that one can be prosecuted for giving a bad review. As a paying customer I'd like to see that happen Don’t preach to us on accepting feedback, we do accept genuine feedback and know when to ignore feedback especially when it comes due to pricing. We have grown or multiplied our business only by listening to our guests who we host. Our guests exactly know what to expect and don’t find it highly overpriced like how you have mentioned In your review.I wonder why you walk in a restaurant knowing what it is going to cost you at the end of the meal and not only that! you ordered 2 items among to 6 of you asked for 4 potions of bread, wiped you plate clean and when we followed up on your table you said “ all was ok “ . A little piece of advice when you are on holiday with your family, especially with children go to places where they can at least have a full meal instead of shouting them down when they tried to order from the menu .What could have gone wrong with the classic traditional Goan food. Especially when we serve on an average of 150 covers a day on weekendsDon’t worry the law is in place and the restaurant association is getting its act together because guests like you need know how much effort goes in running a restaurant and just because we are way beyond your budget goes not make us terrible or if we respond does not mean we are arrogant.I applaud you for making time to post a one star review on all food blogging sites, you seemed to be mean the way you handled your family how I wished you proved me wrong.You are a genuinely miserable person and it seems you have lots of time to open account and post the one and only terrible review.

We loved our meal, the service and the general vibe of the place. It is the end of the monsoon so things are still very quiet in Cavelossim - we had the restaurant to ourselves! We were treated like special guests by incredibly attentive and professional service staff. Close your eyes and you could be in a 5 star restaurant. The service was phenonemal. We had a sizzling seafood platter. Luckily we decided to share as there was more than enough food for the 2 of us. Our meal of 3 gins, 2 starters and a large main cost New Zealand $22. We couldn’t even get 1 main meal for that price at home. We will definitely be back.Thank you DeniseJ511 for your time and effort to review us on TripAdvisor, it's always a pleasure to hear from our guests that our efforts to enhance the customer dinning experience were successful, and this means the world to us at Octima.Your review is our inspiration to keep us focused on doing what we are good at, it also gives the other dinner's who haven't tried Octima a fair chance.Thank you once again, we would be waiting in anticipation to welcome you back soon.

Reviewed By JohnPerkins

We called into this place after reading about it on TA. As most people have said, the food here is very good and a very different choice when compared with most other establishments in these parts, but certainly, quite a lot more expensive than most other restaurants too. The service was attentive and the owner was present and very pleasant to talk to. We really enjoyed our visit, (although they do need to check out how to make a Margarita cocktail).thank you for visiting...we will do our best next....

The restaurant has changed hands, it has lost the atmosphere and has changed its customer base and added burgers etc , desserts are not the same qualityI go here every year , watch for next year's update,Food was ok but was standard. NOVEMBER 2019Hi!Thanks for your updated review. I would like to inform you that since the inception of Go with the Flow in the year 2013, we have had 3 well renowned International Chefs change hands and that has given Go with the Flow a greater and better variety of different flavors from the countries of our Chefs resulting in GO WITH THE FLOW growing more flavorful and aware of the change and wants in its customers as well.Since you mentioned burgers, I would like to say YES we have burgers and that too is of an international standard just like our Chefs. We have also added Vegan food and Keto dietary requirements along with Low Carbs are taken into consideration.I hope you followed that too.If you plan to visit us again this November, I would love to make sure to you leave with a palate full of flavors that will have you coming back for more. Coz, nothing makes us happier than HAPPY CUSTOMERS!!!& remember, all profits from our restaurant go to support Social causes :)Warmest regards,Jeshua and the Go with the Flow team.

My girlfriend and I decided to treat ourselves on our last night in Palolem, we were initially struck by the beautiful fairy lights which adorned the restaurant and the cool swing seats and comfy cushioned seating area.The host was very welcoming not forceful, and the music played was traditional and relaxing accompanied by a beautiful aroma of incense.The menu boats a wide array of vegetarian & vegan meals fitting for all times of the day. Alongside the traditional meals the restaurant offers their take on some other world dishes such as Greek meze & Moussaka - both super delicious! We also ordered a fruit smoothie and iced masala chai, again both highly recommended! We were gutted to find it on our last night, had we have seen it sooner it would have been hard to go anywhere else! Must visit!!

This restaurant offers you very different menu from other restaurants in south goa, they serve you all healthy food and juices, we ordered dishes and all were superb. Its a small restaurant with different kind of seating arrangements. You will find more foreigners then indians in this restaurant.They have displayed their menu of the day from which you can decide quickly but if you go through their menu (very unique) it will explain you about the dish in details.

We heard about this restaurant from a family friend and decided to check it out. We were not disappointed. We were greeted immediately and shown to our table. The staff were very attentive. I ordered Beef Wellington and my husband a pork chop. An apperitive was brought to our table.The food took about 20 minutes to arrive but was worth waiting for. The presentation was perfect and the taste was just what I had hoped for.For desert I chose Pavlova.Thank you Gwen for your wonderful review. We are glad you enjoyed the meal and service and had a memorable experience at Amavi. We look forward to welcome you back to Amavi on your next visit.We would also like to thank your family friend who recommended Amavi to you.
