Monday night proved to be an unforgettable experience at 🌟 light restaurant located by the river Sal. The Chonok Rava fry (White Snappers) were fresh and cooked to perfection with subtle hints of masala. Moving on to some Butter garlic fried prawns which were lip smacking and awesome. Couple it with the CHEESE LOADED naan to experience the explosion of flavours. Finally top it off with πŸ¦€ crab xec xec and plain rice to end the night on a high note. Indeed a seafood haven and a resto worth visiting.

Visited this place in October in the afternoon. Ordered for chonak rawa fry and crabs masala along with lepo fry. All the dishes were excellent the fish portion was large and fresh. The crab masala was purely home made style. The best part of this place is definitely the view relaxing and refreshing and away from the city noise. The lepo was ok but reasonable for the price..
Must visit for fresh seafood and relaxation.
Service was good given how busy the waiters were as the place is always crowded

River side and next to Assolna jetty with the breathtaking view Pussie Star light restaurant has been my favorite joint for authentic Goan food since childhood day with family to college days witch friends. Now as I’m based in Dubai, we do make it a point to dine at Star light every visit to Goa. These restaurant serves all fresh fish with various Goan masalas and recipe.
Star light will forever be one of my favorite restaurants.

In love with the food here. Love the ambience, the service is good and the staff are well mannered. We tried Prawns and Chonak Rava Fry, Crab Xec Xec, Gobi Manchurian, Chicken Sheekh Kebab, Mussels Rava Fry and Butter Garlic Naan. The seafood items were fresh and packed with flavour. The quantities are really good and totally worth the price. Definitely coming back to try some more seafood varieties.

Order anything and you won't be disappointed. Crab masala, tandoor crab, fish fingers, batter fry calamari are favorite. Once again, anything and everything is the super fresh and delightful, of course with a pint of your favorite beer!

This is my go to place for sea food. Its located on trhe banks of the river so the view is really good . Its always crowded ,irrespective of whether it's the weekend or the weekday . They seafood here is amazing . The the crabs are the highlight . This is the perfect set up for some chilled beers and good seafood.
The owner is very friendly and the service has always been good. I have been going here for years now and with the assolna Cavelossim bridge it makes going to starlight much more frequent .

Parking can be a slight issue so going here by bike is a better option .

This place is amazing for seafood! Although I haven't tried too many things, I loved their crab xec xec. Oozing with flavours and perfectly cooked! Their rawa fried fish was good too. It's usually crowded so it's advisable to go a lil early to grab a table near the adjacent river. Seafood next to the river with cool breeze is how you make your meals perfect here.

This place happens to be in interiors of assolna. Beautiful river side restuarant. The staff was friendly. We stuck to ordering only seafood. We tried squid rava fry,bombil(Bombay duck) rava fry prawns ambotik and steam rice. The squid was fresh and crispy delicious, the bombil fry was yummy has well and prawn ambotik was tangy for my taste. The only drawback is they do have card payment system, they do have patym option.

All and all a decent meal on Thursday afternoon.

I've been coming to Star Light for years during my every visit. If you are in Goa during the peak season then this place is always full. I travel during the off season and the place then takes its sweet time to make the dishes also you get to choose from any of the tables beside the bay. Even the vegetarian dish for the odd one out in the group is quite alright ! The prices are reasonable as well.

Star Light is a well known place for it's sea food and on having an event in the south I couldn't miss the opportunity to visit this place. Was welcomed by the waiter Mahesh who really had a good sense of humor. He new the goan menu and knew how everything was prepared. The food came out in a jiffy and we really enjoyed most of the dishes. I didn't give starlight a 5 star is because the squids served were rubbery and the prawn xacuti had less salt in it and had an excessive amount of cinnamon in it. Other than this they view was very nice and the price was just right.

For me this has been one of the most amazing experiences I've come across. I've been here twice. Really enjoy the view of the backwaters to begin with. Anyone who's visiting this place, crab Masala is an absolute must. The size of the crab, quality of the meat and the masala and garnish is beyond superlatives. Also look out for prawns masala fry and rava fry. Pork is another stuff that I'd recommend here. Vindaloo prawns, fish curry and rice are a must. Talk about pure Goan style food, this place is a must visit

Highly recommended. The appetisers were on spot. Very ideal to visit at a time the crowd begins to lessen. The location is spot on just like their food. Since it’s located in the south, the surrounding happens to be much more calmer and peaceful. A place to go to with good company who love great local Goan cuisine.

One of the best places for sea food (with a river view). Tried their prawns and king fish rawa fry, plain fried verlyo with plain rice and prawns curry. Trust me for a Goan, nothing beats the fish-curry-rice combo and this place just excels at it. Those prawns cooked to perfection were just 😍😍

Love this place. Tin roof & plastic chairs will not look that appealing. But nestled next to the river will surely appeal to nostalgia lovers. Once the food is served on ur plate thou (only if u r a die hard sea food lover thou) u will forget about everything else. The crabs over here are the highlight of the show, 7 fair size crabs in succulent xec-xec masala is heavenly to say the least. And that too for just β‚Ή 600. The prawns hatched in their own hatchery r mega size and super fresh. Other fish items are great too, hence u will forget to order anything else. Highly recommended

Don't judge a restaurant from the outside. If you seafood and enjoy it by the Riverside, then look no further. A really good place for seafood. The owner is very friendly. The ambiance is good and The prices are medium. Kingfish and Chonak rava fry are a must have here. The portions are towards the larger side. Overall a good place for family or friends looking to enjoy some goan style fish.

The food they serve is simply amazing.
Tried prawns rawa fry, butter garlic prawns, king fish rawa fry in starters and it was really very tasty. The fish was also fresh and big in size.
For main course tried king fish curry, and crab masala quantity and quality both are met up to expectations. Must try near Margoa area.

Finally made it to this place! Reached a little late and so all the riverside tables were occupied. Calling ahead and booking a table doesn't really help! Anyways, the food.. It was quite good. Rawa fried prawns, garlic squids, prawns curry and rice were all tasty! But the star of the show was the crab masala! Beautifully spiced and cooked! Do give it a try. The prices are surprisingly low!

Star Light is a perfect lunch option for those who want an authentic Goan meal. Located by the river with live music and that chilled bottle of Kings beer, makes you feel so relaxed. It is located in the far south of Goa which makes it bad for us North Goan foodies πŸ˜‹
And yes you will have to find that parking spot so do plan well and be there before the crowd.
The food is just amazing. We ordered prawn curry rice and a-lot of fish. The fish is all fresh and very delicious. Although it was only two of us we loved the prawn curry so much that we ordered another one. I’m not a fan of Bombay duck but we ordered it because my Bengali friend insisted that he wanted to eat Bombay duck. And boy that was some awesome fried Bombay duck. The only down side was the size of the mussels. Very tiny ones but the portion size was amazing.

All in all an amazing lunch and worth the drive all the way to Assolna. Do try this place and let me know your experience by leaving a comment.

Been wanting to try this place out for quite sometime now since I heard a lot about it my from my friends in south. Located right on the banks of river.
It's a normal beach shack so don't complaint about the ambiance.Β Β 
We had gone in the afternoon, luckily we got the table next to the riverside and there was cool breeze blowing in your face. The view was just mind blowing.
They had live singer singing some retro songs :)
This place is known of their Goan seafood so we skipped their Chinese dishes. We ordered Crab xec xec which was the best I had yet, the masala was bit spicy but the flavour was too good. (licked fingers)

We tried rawa fried mussels and batter fried squids which was just amazing too. The mayo was unique and we kept on ordering it ;)
We tried Modso fish fry, it was good too :)Β 
The rates are reasonable and the quantity is pretty good.

A really good place to have a couple of beers and seafood with the best riverside view. Definitely going back again.

My go to place for seafood. The picturesque view just adds to the pleasant feeling at this place. They serve tasty fresh fish and chicken too, but I suggest sticking to the seafood menu. Don't go for any Chinese dishes here. This place has the best fish fingers I could find, hands down. Rawa fried prawns are delectable. Calamari is good but it's tenderness happens to vary. Rawa fried Mussels are finger licking good. You can try the crabs too. Also consider the catch of the day, you might just be surprised. If you happen to visit the place for dinner, the surrounding and the lighting will tempt you to take a glance at the drinks menu.Please do so.If it's lunch, grab a beer. I always have a beezer meal at this place and it's worth every penny.

Relly Rodriguez's Starlight.
River bank of the Sal. The most sought after eatery out of the 10 odd ones on the bank of Sal in Assolna.
Best place to have a satisfactory Goan meal in that area.
The food is just classy. From prawns rawa to fish curry to Cafreal to Recheado, everything is just fantastic.
If you want a Riverside table, please be there as early as noon for lunch.
Yes but when you order, do tell them keep the prep less spicy unless you love steaming ears.
The drive to Assolna from Margao in itself is nice so you won't regret going that far.
A must visit when in South Goa.

Breezy riverside shack serving fantastic seafood.
Portions are extremely generous, the seafood guarantees freshness and is of top quality.
The weekend rush might affect the quality of service but the food makes up for it.
Our staple order includes batter fried squid, rawa fried mussels and maybe a prawn starter in racheado masala.
Crab Xec Xec is brilliant, 5 big crabs with claws still attached in perfect masala that isn't too spicy or too bland. Team it with a chilli cheese garlic naan.
Prawn curry- rice is good too.
Finish off with a Banoffee Pie.
World class meal right there.

Starlight a.k.a "pussie's" is a go-to place for seafood they say. And it did stand upto the mark. I'm not a seafood person but with what my friends said, the batter fried squids and butter garlic prawns did sound very delicious and met their expectations. You don't have to worry if you're someone like me stuck among a group of seafood lovers. They have a plenty of options for us as well. I had ordered beef chilly, chicken 65 and french fries. The Beef chilly was cooked right to the point and was very yummy. Chicken 65 on the other hand tasted good but pretty normal. With riverside view and peaceful setting is assolna, it's an ideal place to chill over a beer and some tasty food with your friends :) Cheers!

This is just one of your regular shacks along the Riverside, but serving extra ordinary food. The ambience is not all that great, atleast during nights. It could get quite hot and a bit stuffy in here during summers.
But if you're a complete foodie and sucker for sea food you won't be disappointed. Any of their fish based dish is a delight. USP being crab xec xec. The best I've ever had. The fish is fresh and preparation is top notch be it squids, mussels, prawns, kingfish. The chicken dishes are not quite upto the mark. Quite reasonable prices which don't burn a hole in your pocket. Good for large meet ups.

The food was simply delicious, served hot and cooked to perfection. We ordered a variety of dishes including cheese balls, crispy chicken, squid golden fry, chicken lollipop, butter garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and garlic chicken and everything tasted amazing. One aspect that impressed me was the quick and efficient service. The dishes arrived promptly and were still steaming hot when served. The staff was attentive and ensured a smooth dining experience. The drink selection was also impressive and we decided to try the Starlight Daiquiri and Sea Breeze Cocktail, both of which were amazing. The drinks were well-crafted and added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. It's worth mentioning that the place tends to get crowded on weekends, so it's advisable to plan accordingly. However, if you're a seafood lover, you'll be delighted to know that they also offer a selection of fresh seafood dishes. This restaurant provides a fantastic dining experience with its great food, friendly atmosphere, and efficient service. Whether you're craving flavorful dishes or looking for a refreshing drink, this place has it all. Just keep in mind the weekend crowds and make sure to try their delightful seafood options.

The warmth and ambiance are top notch being the riverside. Live music adds to the experience. The food is decent. The service is on the slower side but the view makes it up for it. Get the table at the seaside.

It is a good place and a very well known location in its area. In terms of what it offers is good food, lovely music and good seating area. However, seating anywhere else other than near the river/lake, is not worth it, it makes it feel like something is lacking and sometimes the music can be a bit too loud making it harder to talk and hold conversations.

Had a strong recommendation from local friends for its authentic Goan sea food and well priced mocktails, i personally like the sea food and mocktails. The ambience is more of family crowd and calm river side. Ample parking available. Timing is after 1130hrs only till approx 9pm

Good place with good ambience , may get heated up during summers since there is no AC. Located in assolna riverside one can enjoy river view with good food. Usually crowded and famous for sea food. Rates are reasonable. Few items like Goan dishes may contain vinegar.

The food here is really awesome and adding charm on it is its location .. just located on the banks of river sal. This place offers you authentic Goan cuisine. The fish fry like chonak, prawns King fish offers here with rava fry rachado or masala fry are going to tingle your tastebuds. Be sure to reach soon to get a table next to the river bank both in the noons and evening. Budget wise it's not too expensive and I had been here with three friends we had lots of fish and beer and alcohol and our bill was 2937 so around 1000 per head.

With a beautiful riverside view this place is well known for its seafood and doesn't disappoint. Whatever dish you like be it a prawns raechado or a mussels rava fry they serve it fresh and tasty. We had sausage pulao as well as a sausage chilli fry and tongue chilli fry which was yummy. A special shoutout to Mahesh who took extra special care of us from the food to the drinks and made one of our friends a hot beverage for her cold. He even made sure we enjoyed the homemade desserts served there and made the experience a memorable one.

Being a Goan knowing the home taste of Goan Cuisine, when traveling to South Goa we always visit this place for Dine in to have Fish. The Restaurant is known for its Goan Cuisine, especialy the fresh catch of FISH they serve, Prawns rava fry ...was just yum. Ambience is 3.5 / 5, service by staff is quick and with a smile having good knowledge of what they serve. Also, the restaurant is on the bank of a river so the view is just wow... Must visit if traveling to South Goa for some mouth watering fish fries and curries. Over all 4.5 / 5 for the food taste and authenticity of ingredients.
