A trip to the beach can cure a bad mood and so can Goan food.Goa’s got everything a hot tourist destination does: sun, sand, beach and most importantly, good food. Authentic Goan food is one of the biggest reasons tourists flock to this glorious state. It’s spunky; it’s got personality and is seriously addictive!Goan food is extremely different from the food of other regions and this can be attributed to its rich and diverse cultural heritage. It’s a potpourri of flavours: beef, pork, coconut, jaggery, cashew and an endless variety of seafood. A lot of Goan dishes like Prawn balchao and Sorpotel are well known and relished around the world.CACTUS BAR & RESTAURANT Location – Its a multicuisine restaurant and bar located near football ground , Candolim.Ambience – Outdoor seating with a refreshing ambience and with good seating arrangements. We panchphoron team of Kolkata went on a food tasting session and we had the following – Goan cuisine – a) Crab masala fry – Crab Masala Fry is a fragrant medley of spices and aromatics. Its spicy punch is set off deliciously by the sweet crab meat.b) Chicken Xacuti – Fiery and loaded with flavor, it’s absolutely delicious!c) Chicken Cafrial – Its a Portuguese – Goan dish. In this dish, the chicken is marinated with lots of coriander leaves(Cilantro), ginger , garlic,lime juice along with dry spices giving it green color and kept for a long time . It was lipsmacking.Indian cuisine – a) Paneer Kadai -Indian cottage cheese or paneer cooked in onion tomato gravy with kadai masala and no yogurt or cream is used . It was flavourful and went very well with Naan .b) Veg pulao- A mild flavourful rice with veggies and roaated Goan cashews , it tasted fine .c) Tandoori Mackerel – Very well marinated and grilled. The fish was tender with a good flavour. It was provided with a lipsmacking dip.d) Naan Continental cuisine – a) Steamed fish – Minced , boneless fish marinated with spices and herbs and coated with cheesy butter garlic layer and was served with French fries & salad. It was very soft , juicy and palatable.b) Chicken Marylad – the food dish consists of fried chicken served with a cream gravy and it was yummy with juicy Chicken pieces.The staffs were realy good and cooperative but the service was bit slow.Thanks to the management for hosting us. Thank you Rajdeep Da for your invitation.Proud member of team #panchphoron

Located in Candolim is this gem of a Goan restaurant that serves an affordable a la carte menu with drinks. Go crazy with fresh Crab Masala Fry, Tandoori Mackerel Recheado, Chicken & Fish Maryland and Chicken Cafrial; they’re known for their freshness. Don’t crack your head over what to eat for lunch — turn to Cactus Restaurant & Bar opposite Lawande Supermarket.If you have any fear of fried meat, this unbelievably tasty Chicken & Fish Maryland might just change your mind. It is first braised to pack in flavour, then sallow fried over low heat to provide crisp edges and a good hit of juiciness.The must-order Signature Chicken Cafrial comes loaded with whole chicken legs and boasts a wonderfully fragrant with a surprisingly crispy texture. Go for this spicy yet comforting Chicken Cafrial, before completing your meal with the tender and perfectly charred Chicken Roulade.Chicken Roulade that normally comes in a variety of sauce flavours like creamy tomato, champagne Sauce, mushroom sauce, cheese sauce and many more, is stellar. The chicken is properly marinated in spices and is baked to order. Go straight for the Chicken Roulade and cheese sauce that miraculously fills you up with an addictive combination that will leave you scraping the bowl.
Met a friend here for dinner. The waiter came, and told me about all the fish on offer, n I explained that I’m vegetarian.My friend arrived a bit later, n went through the same thing.When we ordered curry n noodle dishes, there was a lot of tutting from the manager.Bear in mind , there was only 6 people dining there anyway!Beggars can’t be choosers!!
The prawns was amaaaInggggg! The bangda fry starter was utterly delicious trust you don’t wanna miss this in goa! We ordered two different dishes of prawns and one fish curry omg all three were beautiful!! Spicy perfect taste typical goan!
First day in goa went to this hotel, on 23rd Dec 2018. We ordered for chicken vindaloo, steam rice and veg noodles. The food was OK, but I think the staff was rude. We selected a place to sit just to the right side of the entry, we were about to sit and we were told it was reserved. Even though there was no note or anything left on the table to mark it as reserved, we made a move to the corner from where the music players were not visible. After some time a couple came, were about to sit besides us, they moved to the so called reserved place. The waiter again said it was reserved, but the couple insisted on sitting there and they got to sit on the so called reserved place. Seeing this there was no interest in food, anyways it wasn’t soo great. Dining experience is enjoyed not only with food but also with the behavior of the people who serve you.CA Ranna Navalkar Baindur
Veg club sandwich was so good that I’ll be visiting again to try their non veg options. Please do order a masala tea here. It’s probably the best in candolim area. Loved the breakfast I had here. Also, the fries they serve with their club sandwhiches are crispy, fresh, and light.
