A peaceful shack on benaulim beach .The service is good.Ambience is okay. The indoors is good enough but they have to do a bit on outdoor seating on the beach area.The food quality/ quantity is good. Tried cheese garlic naan, batter garlic calamari, chicken tikka and garlic chicken ..liked the garlic chicken.Would recommend the restaurant for indoor seating.
Located right on the Benaulim beach, this place provides a nice ambience with a both inside as well as outside seating. Would not recommend the outside one during monsoons as rains may surprise you anytime.Sea view+world cup screening makes up for it.We ordered lots of beer and seafood platter. Food service is little slow but tastes good.
Couple of years ago, I would have rated this place 5 stars but this time I cannot go beyond 1. We ordered chicken chilly and the waiter even after confirming to him brought some Goan chicken. We first confirmed whether they have Ceaser salad. Waiter assured they have it but brought something with pepper, onion, cucumber, no lattuce, no black olives, no cheese, no bread crumbs. We asked him about it he took it back and just added some mayonnaise and olive oil. While in the restaurant we went out for a smoke, when we came back and the chairs we were having were changed and given very dirty chairs. Other customers were given our chairs. When enquired we came to know that management is changed.
Even though I visited benaulim beach since childhood, I never happened to visit the left side of the beach. It was only the right side we would walk towards. Be it for food, party or just an evening by the beach. One day I just happened to look towards the left side of the beach and saw this board that said “Rafaels beach bar and bistro”. The place is bang on the beach and looked good from outside. I went there for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. To my surprise we were the only customers they were catering to then. Also the beach had a deserted look in the afternoon. We ordered drinks, chicken sizzler and deep fried chicken. The food quantity was filling. Service was quick. Food presentation was also good. The ambience is fine and has a beach view. However it was more of a quiet lunch by the beach.
Quaint beach front restaurant which offers seafood as a specialty. We tried their mussels rawa fried which really amazing! The masala tasted so well yet not overpowering and so we had around 4 orders of these. ☺️ we also tried their calamari rechado masala, and mackerel. And all are very tasty and real fresh! Service is also very polite and efficient.
