I happened to pass by this place while walking towards my hotel during my holiday to Goa last week. Nestled under a palm tree, hidden by a small shop, this place is simply irresistible.
Tired by the days drive from Pune to Goa, I did not want to explore other places and since this place caught my attention, I walked in. From the outside when one looks in, it looks like a long alley with tables and chairs lined on the sides, but you will be surprised to find that the depth to the restaurant is actually a mirage created artistically by the owner by placing mirrors on the walls.
You enter and find the bar counter to your right with a variety of liquors neatly stacked and a wonderful lady who greets you everytime you enter. Little did I know that the restaurant was run by a local (Sorry, forgot his name) and the lady behind the counter was his wife. Almost all the staff are either Filipinos or from the north eastern part of our country, but a must say, very courteous and friendly!
The owner himself greets you and seats you at a comfortable table depending upon the number of people you enter with.
The menu is a wide spread choice between Indian, Continental, BBQ, etc but the best part is the cocktails menu with its unique names.......simply worth reading through even if you are a teetotaler. Something that caught my attention was the Frozen Vodka Pitcher in Strawberry, Orange and other flavours.......imagine being served frozen vodka with the desired juice in a pitcher......looked awesome!
The steaks are wonderful and are perfect as you ask for.....the indian menu is worth a try and the continental good too.
All in all, it was worth a visit and yes, I, did go there again, this time just for the steak!
