The first place in North Goa we have been to with no music and no Wifi and let me tell you it was the best thing about this place !! In the midst of all the North Goa hustling Pousada is a refreshing change for people looking for good food and quality time with friends and family !!!
My husband and I visited Pousada By The Beach for lunch on our first wedding anniversary in the first week of May, not really the peak season. We were greeted by the owners themselves, extremely warm and friendly family, that wants to ensure your having the best time !! The family includes Chai and Biscuit, the most calm yet friendly labradors I've ever met �
We started off with some mocktails, strawberry and pomegranate mojito and the virgin mojito with a twist .. it was the perfect thing to beat the heat if you want to avoid alcohol when in Goa (that's less likely though �)
We hit the main course straight after and the prawns balchao was undoubtedly the best I've had in Goa .. authentic !! I'm not a very big fan of dried shrimp.. however they mask the flavour really well in this dish.. and all in all it's perfect !!
Nishit Pathak ordered the Goan Pork Chourico Pulao and he enjoyed his meal to the fullest !
Joshua and his father made regular trips to our table to ensure we were enjoying our meal.
The portion sizes are just perfect, infact it's a bit larger than most of the other places offering food in North Goa.
The biggest compliment we would give the owners is the standard and quality they are maintain. We wished to have a look around their kitchen as well, and it was super clean and really well organised. This is definately one of the best restaurants in North Goa, a class apart from the other usual shacks. We would surely recommend it.
I've saved the best for the last.!! And I want to tell you all how AMAZING their Serradura dessert is � oh my god.. this was my 8th visit to Goa and I've never tried any real local dessert, except Bebinca, but if you have this Portuguese origin dessert which they make so beautifully at Pousada .. you'll forget everything else. It's on my list when I return to Goa.
I'm more of a chocolate person, and i would never really go for something non chocolate unless I know what it tastes like. But we are so glad we had the Serradura.. it was incredible.. I want to go back !!!
Can't get over the place..so quiet and peaceful with it's lovely ambience and decor..the best place in North Goa I have been to and I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Goa and looking for a relaxing place to sit by the beach..known for it's speciality in Goan food, it's indeed one..the platters are amazing..the guy who served us, Joshwa, who also happens to be the owner of the place was extremely courteous and another reason for you to love the place !!
Since being in Goa I have been to many restaurants, but none of them even held a torch to this one. My partner stumbled across this place and recommended we visit the following day, we ended up having lunch AND dinner here simply because the food is incredible! I had the grilled fish in a banana leaf for lunch and the Goan fish curry for dinner, I would rate both dishes 10/10! I am overly impressed with not only the food, but the wonderful service. At the end of our dinner we were even given a complimentary dessert, a traditional Goan dish with homemade ice cream, all the while watching the sun set over the sea. Beautiful place, a must see if in Goa!
