We were actually the 1st customers at this restaurant!
It opened for business 1/2 an hour before we came strolling along through Baga (on our way to Tito's nightclub) but then deciding that we'd rather have a quiet night with a few drinks and some yummy food.
The interior is very nice (of course, it's all new!) with the option of sitting downstairs or up on the roof terrace. The waiting staff spoke very good english, and were quite helpful & knowledgeable.
The service was very good, drinks were cold, ice cubes made with bottled water, we were even offered some nibbles while we waited for our main course (we hadn't seen this phenomenon in any other restaurants in Goa so far).
The girls ordered hot 'n' sour soup, which was hot but not really sour enough. The Chinese-style fried rice was nice, but nothing to write home about.
My dish was excellent! Paneer tikka massala.
The cheese was nice and firm, in a gorgeous coconutty-curry sauce. Not too spicy, just right... and the garlic & butter Naan bread was to die for!
Once again my travel companions had to admit: when in Goa, do as the locals do - eat local dishes and you won't be disappointed with the Goan's culinary skills.
The restaurant specialises in local seafood... so try the tiger prawns while you're there, prepared any way you like it!
All in all, if they keep their standards going like they did on this first night, the Equinox will always be a nice place for a great meal in a nice, calm and welcoming atmosphere.

The Beach House is an excellent restaurant at the Taj Holiday Village Resort with a relaxing atmosphere, very nice decoration and with candles lit during dinner.
Guests can choose from either an extravagant multi-cuisine buffet or delicious a la carte. ‘Chef Rego’s’ authentic Goan dishes include Prawn curry, prawn balchao and the Hindu saraswat thali.
It's a bit more expensive than other restaurants in Goa but the food is amazing and the fresh fish and seafood are the best in Goa.
Open Hours:
12:30 pm — 3:00 pm
7:00 pm — 11:00 pm
Prawn balchao, prawn curry and the delicious " bebinca" with icecream for dessert I used to eat every time I went there...!

Cavala is a very popular restaurant for music lovers of North Goa.
Every Wed during season, you have an opportunity to listen to some good musicians performing retro-jazz and some Goan on request...
very nice ambience and the staff is very friendly.
Nice food also..
The outdoor area of the restaurant also offers a nice place to have a chat over the table while listening to the band Leave a Comment Theme: DinerPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Cavala beach ResortDirections: On the way to Baga beach.

This restaurant is located on Baga beach itself. the staff are as helpful and friendly as you could wish for. The food is divine. We ate there most days and were never disappointed. It was very very cheap and of high standard. It also hosted the cleanest toilet on the beach!
The guys in there also put us onto a very good taxi driver who we kept for the 2 weeks we were there.
Lobster Thermodore, This was from heaven , it was absolutely delicious and have never had one as good since! Also the milkshakes are freshly made, with fresh fruit or chunks of chocolate, very very yummy!

Beef, mutton, chicken, u name it they have it. aND all of it halal. Located in mapusa, this restaurant drove us all the way from calangute not just b cos it had gr8 taste, but mainly b cos it served halal food.
Halal food is hard to find in Goa, something I take for granted in my hometown Hyderabad. So when we got tired of eating vegs, we headed straight to mapusa for some meaty stuff.
Chicken rolls, rotis, chicken masala, chicken biryani is also okay (no one can beat we hyderabadi's at that). Tandoori chicken is the best of it all. Leave a Comment Theme: Kosher/HalalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Near the Mapusa mosque

Right on the beach with sun beds and tables with umbrellas on the sand. The staff are not the usual pushy sales people you get further north and will sit and chat to you if they have the time.
I ordered a Bacardi Breezer and couldn't understand why it took so long to arrive - they didn't have any and had to go to the local shop to replace their supplies.
Pork Vindaloo.
I enquired about a dessert dish on the menu which I had never heard of before, and the next day I was given one 'compliments of the house'.

This is an excellent quality restaurant on the CSM road in Baga.
Tuesday nights are a special night as they have local Goan dancing on. Pre-book tuesday evening. The rest of the week should be ok just to turn up.
The freshly caught, freshly cooked garlic lobster is so succulent and tasty. Order it the day before, so they can get it fresh from the market on the day you want it. The price is by weight, so expect to pay anywhere between 700 - 1000 rupees. This is an expensive dish, but it is worth it. You get all the trimmings, salad, vegtetables, chips and even mashed potatoes. I go to Goa on my birthday, and a meal at the Indian Impact, is my holiday treat.
They also do fantastic Tandori dishes, and it is a 'safe' place to get Pork in India, if you are wanting some.
My daughter does not eat meat, and she says there is a good vegetarian choice. Leave a Comment Theme: IndianPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: CSM Road, Baga.Phone: 0832 2277194Other Contact: sunildouza@hotmail.com

The Dehil Darbar is one of the best sit down restaurants in Panaji. the food is typical of Northern India with a few Goan dishes in there as well. The fruit juices are always fresh and the food is prepared in traditional ways and very very good. The prices are also very reasonable and to too unlike anywhere else you will eat in Goa. The staff is incredibly friendly and all have a great handle on English. However, do not expect them to be very fluent or helpful in other languages. Marathi-Hindi and English are a bout it.
I don't have a favorite dish. There are the typical dishes you'd find at any other Indian restaurant (Korma, Rogan, Vindaloo, etc) as far as curries go. However, there are some specialty dishes from Northern India as well as some British dishes.

Good ratio for price/quality. At Baga Road, very close to hotel Bomfim. Easy street bar & restaurant with quick, friendly service and the meals were served warm, which is not so evident in the country of susegad.
The overall was tasty and fulfilling in every four time visited.
Example menu for two: very spicy chicken in sauce (Chicken Kohlapuri), stuffed potatoes in Goa style with sauce (Aloo Palak), cheese with sauce (Paneer Tikka Masala), mixed rice, 2 garlic naans. With soda and water, 325 rupias. Additional plus for we requested very spicy and we got just what we wanted (March 2003).

The restaraunt is called Electric Cats. It does great Vindaloo and Xacuti curries, lovely Garlic Nan, fresh Sea food and the nicest shakes we had in Goa. They have a reasonable menu but the best thing about his place is that you can order food that they can make but that doesnt appear on the menu. I ended up with some huge prawns fried with Garlic and Chile served on a bed of Pappodom - not on the menu but a winner. They also made (little home-sick me) some Egg mayonaise - even tho they had no idea what it was, when we went back a week or so later it was on the menu!
Xacuti Chicken/Prawn curry with Garlic nan and rice. 95 Rupees for the lot, it takes a while, but what doesnt in India(!), order a cold one, walk down to the beach and they'll come give you a shout.
