Mumbai aur Goa ka khana



These were baby amla.. and the yummiest tangy juicy things i ve ever had.. juhu beach has a lot of thelas with these sorta berries and kerries( kaccha aam/mango) a must try.


This guy was selling not so famous but yummy chana and chana jor garam... try them out at band stand! even the crows were enjoyin it ;) another reason to have them.


We were a little confused for dinner so opted for a small but punjabi looking restaurant in Bandra called "papa panjo" and to our delight this was the yummiest Gobhi i ve ever had that was spiced up with "hara pyaaz" n the flavor was more than perfect... try it with jaljeera..lip smacking punjabi food :)

Other restaurants/ lounge where we had yum tum food minus the picture.. cz we were either too hungry or lazy :O were
"Eat around the Corner" yummiest veg pie and soup along with awesome ambience for a brunch...


"Candies" almost everything got over by the time we reached there but this place is a must go... crazy..calm..magical..awesome music..lovely terrace..wait they had 2/3..go count them im confused... super artwork.. n i ve no words.. go experience it.. its not about food.. its a place to be!! aah i think i ve an "angry bird muffin pic tho" :P.. we were lucky to ve one ;)
Thanku Rahul for suggesting this super awesome place... wish u were here in mumbai with us.. :P


cutting chai n ice tea at "prithvi canteen" with a book or play.. it tastes better ;P

"Mocha Mojo"
"Leopolds"
Their lava cake was brilliant☄
A must to enjoy beer and chit chat with loads of ppl... get the feel of mumbai ☺
"Moshes"
"Soam" ... go in for super duper tasty khichadi's in various styles.
U may try hummus sandwich at any "cinnabon" outlet.


Also try the yum tum pani puri which was filled with boiled chick peas.. it wasnt great bt yes worth a try.

Go GoaaaaAAA

What can one say about Goan food.. im a veggie so most of u all are gonna be disappointed as all the food here is going to be no sea food but all the fruits n veggie delights.... trust me whatever i had in Goa at these chosen restaurants by the best travel guide ever " The Lonely Planet " was worth it.






Magic Italy at Palolem Beach
Go by the name and savor the italian delights... be it aubergine, spinach, pickles, olive toppings..or a plain garlic bread...ve a magical time at this place run by an Italian family and some snow white super friendly cats.


Fresh strawberries with vanilla ice cream.. eat it anywhere in Goa.. its gonna be yumm :P

The not so amazing new pringles... "pickle flavor"... the lid is apt acc to the taste :/





As the name says "Whole Bean".. the menu is full of various soyabean varieties.. n the taste 10/10
do try the green grape fresh juice. overall a great place for veggie and highly diet conscious...thumbs up (not the drink!!)
Enjoy it near the Anjuna Beach.


At Anjuna u can buy these freshly ground local spices and various flavor organic tea at nominal prices.


Go in for Cheese garlic naan and these fresh tandoori veg sekh kababs at "koko mo".. the best part of this restaurant is great music and it is open from 4.00 pm to 4.00 am... at Anjuna




For a super comfortable brunch @ Artjuna Cafe•Anjuna
from fresh juices to scrumptious sandwiches... add on•shop till u drop.. check out exclusive decor, furniture, leather bags, jewelery etc etc at this airy n open space.


"Cheeky chapati"
the guide says its gt the best sea food... but the veg was delightful.. we tried sandwiches, juices, desserts and wraps all super fresh and mouth watering... its situated near Palolem Beach.. great music, gud crowd, descent ambience, n for all the book lovers all bills come with a book (sadly nt a take away bt mostly great reads)


Marbella Guest House
Its a stunning renovated Portuguese villa with period furniture and peaceful shady gardens... romantic, friendly and very pretty.
Top it all the food is freshly made and look out for what u find in ur soup!! we found a alphabet noodels :)
Great place to live near Fort Aguada and Candoilm Beach


Go in for all the local Goan dishes at any beach shack at Candolim Beach.. super tasty i tried their basic veg bhaji cooked in coconut and local spices.





Fiesta at Baga ★★★★
We tried fresh goat's cheese with waffles ❤
Jalapeno and olive topped pizza along with Bloody mary :)
its a glamorous restaurant with food to match. Must go!



The Stone House
Gud music.. descent food and a very amusing menu with loads of misspelt dishes ✒


A Ferradura ▷ ▸ ▹
We were a lil disappointed as they had only "3" veg dishes in the menu ッ so, we ordered these canopies but we were more than happy cz they were great... its the only Portugese restaurant in Panji. Enjoy



Casino Prime previously known as Casino Goa/Caravela
There are no pictures for food here as they have a very ok types buffet along with unlimited drinks and half a dozen snacks.
Go here if you want to know how it feels to be on an anchored ship with a Casino$$
Try for a weekend to enjoy performance by Russian Ballet Dancers.




Hotel Venite ❦
They say a picture says a lot more than words... see these and u know what to do when u are in Panji next ❤
