Live music and a huge assortment of Indian and continental dishes, including soups and salads, chicken/seafood/beef dishes and assorted desserts. Reservations are essential. Choice of seating outdoors (if it's not too hot) or inside where the music is. Great place to relax with friends for a couple of hours.

Lots of choices on the menu. The best place for Thalis and Solkadhi! Nice, clean, restaurant atmosphere with good service. Patronized mostly by locals. Open lunch/dinnertime.
Favorite Dish: Veg Thali and Solkadhi. Delicious!!

Bob's Inn serves all types of cuisines, but their Goan specialities are particularly mouth watering. The interior is done up in a very tasteful manner, which cretes a very soothing ambience. We had stopped over at Bob's Inn on our way to Old Goa, and the lunch was a very refreshing experience.
The restaurant is set in a 120 year old house, with a garden at the entrance. The owner is also a very friendly chap.
Favorite Dish: The Chicken Cafreal is just out of this world. This is a Goan dish made in Mint-Coriander gravy. It's not very spicy, but is really tasty. I haven't eaten this good Chicken Cafreal anywhere else.

Address: On the road from Calangute to Candolim
LOCATED LOOKING OVER THE MAIN STREET IN CALANGUTE CENTER JUST UP FROM THE JUNCTION OF THE MAIN BAGA ROAD.
THE SETTING IS SMALL AND VERY WELCOMING AND IS OPEN AIR SO YOU CAN WATCH THE HUSSLE AND BUSSLE OF CALANGUTE AT NIGHT.
THE FOOD IS SO CHEAP AND FRESH MY WIFE AND I ON A RECENT TRIP IN DEC O6 ATE HERE 3 TIMES.
IF YOU WANT GOOD CHEAP FOOD THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!!!!!.
A MEAL AND DRINKS FOR TWO PEOPLE WAS USUALLY UNDER 500 RUPPEES THAT IS CHEAP!!! AND LOADS OF FOOD ALSO.
Favorite Dish: THE BUTTER CHICKEN IS TO DIE FOR SERVED WITH BUTTER JEERA RICE AND A GARLIC NANN (THE BEST I HAVE HAD IN GOA)

The plantian leaf is another superb local stop for food.
Not an ideal place for a 'special night out' but ideal for a quick cheap yummy meal. Its where most of the locals go for a bite and the settings are nothing special but the food is superb. Its all local currys, very very reasonable prices, I think we paid about £4 for 3 currys a couple of nan breads and drinks for me and the miss's.
Pure vegetarian.
Favorite Dish: Phew, too many to mention, as the waiter and he wil point you in the right direction.

What can we say... the best meal we have ever had!!
Seriously... we heard lots of good reviews before we went to All spice and had high expectations.. and boy were they met!
Its quite a simple quaint place and the setting isnt spectacular but the food and service do all the talking.
Ask for Vinny or Girish.. well you cant miss them, they will make you feel so welcome the moment you arrive and are just soooo cool, they can make any orders you want if its not on the menu too!
If you do anything in Goa... go to All spice!
Favorite Dish: We had a prawn Massala... oh boy was it nice....and keema pannear!!! MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

If you go to Goa you will soon realise that it is a place that values GOOD FOOD. This is most evident in East Meets West. I am so certain that most foodies out there will be more that just impressed with this jewel of culinary delights!! Set in a shady garden, we dined al fresco under the stars by candlelight (and the christmas lights that all of goa seem to love!). East Meets West offers more than just Indian cuisine, which by have the best butter chicken curry i have tastes in the WORLD (so far). There is an open air barbeque that produces the most gorgeous grilled fish and prawns (fresh on the day), and their kitchen offer delightful sounding steaks and finger-licking good starters. If I have to think of one draw back it would be the incence overload!! But if you get a table in the centre of the garden, rather than by the trees around the perimeter you will be fine...i promise you will love this place!! Although its more expensive than the average eaterie in Goa, it is worth every penny!! They also provide frequent live music which will make you smile if it doesnt succeed in serenading you! Every taxi driver knows this place so just ask them to drop you here and collect you in a few hours.
Favorite Dish: Anything from the barbeque!!!
Butter chicken curry!!
Naan bread...yum yum!!

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!
Favorite Dish: 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.

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).
Favorite Dish: 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.
