Located on the margao-colva route, Ben and Sand has gained immense popularity over the years for its Goan cuisine.
Canโt go to 'Ben and Sand' and not order sea food!
Legendary masala squid chilli & Reashad fry Mackerel is tooo good! Very Generous amount of tangy masala stuffing.
Pricing is good, very easy on the pocket! Would love to visit again.
Amazing food and ambience and the service Here is super fast too.great place for family dinners and get together
Highly recommend๐
Quite a pocket friendly destination hangouts or group outings that serves some really tasty Goan delicacies.
Although the options are limited but foods are good tastewise as well as portion size wise.
Golden fried calamari, we loved it. Simple and flavourful.
Crispy veg is one of the best munching here for.
We also tried biriyani, better than a lot of places.
Also tried Hyderabadi chicken and paratha. Paratha was the only thing i didn't like. It's greasy.
Pocket pinch for two: visited no.of times. Pocket pinch comes around Rs. 600 to 700 along with beverages.
The one place where u get cheesy cheese garlic nun, its mouth watering. Servers very good food. Your taste buds will crave for the food u get served.

Being a fan of Goan cuisine and a half Goan myself, we long for authentic fish curry-rice when we visit Goa. Ben and Sand is a go-to place who do their best in serving Goan food. Their Crispy Fried Chicken is succulent with an amazing chilli dipping sauce. Their Prawns Masala Fry are King sized prawns with lip smacking masala. The Prawn Curry has ample prawns, generous curry made in typical Goan style.
All in all, our Hangry tummys were super happy with Ben and Sand. Not only do they suit the pocket but their deliveries are also on the dot.
We ordered prawns and got the delivery in time.
The food was well prepared. We had asked for extra spicy gravy. It was indeed spicy. The prawn size could have been bigger
Thanks
Located on the Margao-Colva route, Ben and Sand has gained immense popularity over the years for it's Goan cuisine and Tandoori fare, alike.
Ambience is pretty decent, would appreciate some music to go along though.
For starters, we had Crispy Chicken (finally crispy chicken, that actually is crispy!).
Can't go to 'Ben and Sand' and not order seafood! Reashad fry Mackeral is too good! Very generous amount of tangy masala stuffing. Mussels rawa fry and Calamari batter fry are other good seafood options.
In the very beginning, we ordered Masala Papad to go with the beer. It had generous about of veggies, however the 'masala' was missing!
For mains, chicken biryani is pretty good here.
Service was surprisingly quick, even on a busy Sunday.
Pricing is good, very easy on the pocket! Would love to visit again.
The best choice to have stuffed chicken naan,crispy chicken,tandoori,chicken friedrice.It is always crowded here.One of my favorite places in Goa.
Pocket friendly restaurant with great ambience. We ordered cheese chicken stuffed naan and it was highlight of our day in Goa. Quite good range of drinks available.
Food was perfect. Drinks were great. Ambience deserves 100%.
It would be nice if some part of restaurant is air conditioned. Also if service could be improved then it'll be great.
I just love the food from here. I've tried the chicken fried rice gobi manchurian chicken cafreal and chicken dum biryani and the cheese naan. Excellent food full of flavour. The chicken biryani although tasty was extremely spicy and the pieces of chicken was more bone than meat. Besides that no issues.
i have been here with my friends good place ,nice ambience food was great the prices of the food is so reasonable delicious starters perfect for friends get to geather

Amazing ambience ๐๐๐ we ordered mackerel fry with rechado masala, squids batter fry, cheese chilli garlic naan , chicken 65 and butter chicken. Fish and chicken was cooked perfectly. I really loved all the flavours except chicken 65 taste was a bit off. I would give 10/10 for the taste of all the dishes but not for the chicken 65. If you are ever visiting this place please do try their mackerel rechado masala fry it's taste sooooo good๐๐๐๐๐๐

Simple restaurant with good food.
Must try items are crispy chicken,chonak masala.most of the fish items are tasty.garlic naan is crisp and thin.
Known more for their tandoor section of menu... Their naans and chicken tandoor has a lot of masala and soft well cooked pieces.. we did not like it the day we went when tandoor section was closed (afternoon)..felt it is better for dinner as compared to lunch.. since its renovated now .there is more space available for seating
Whenever near or around Colva do visit this place as this place has good ambience and also the taking about the food it looks best and also taste best the quality is good and the price is also reasonable love it
Wonderful service and taste too good.. Immediate servie and good response from the waiters.. Yummy Soups and Biryani... Recommended high and enjoy the food
Try the cheese garlic naan,
You will surely fall in love .
Chicken lollipop and kingfish rava fry is also awesome .
Ambience is like Goan hut.
Can plan with family to.
A pretty popular place in margao colva side. If your late your bound to be kept waiting for table, specially on weekends.
Thier chicken crispy is one of the best I tasted.other good dishes butter chicken, tandoori. The prawns wafers we.trued we pretty ordinary and paneer tikka was.also.bland. overall a good place with good prices and service

This place is actually a paradise for Tandoori lovers...very much pocket friendly, good service great food....Fell in love with their Cheese Garlic Naan๐๐๐ also their starter items are good too...do try chicken crispy and Surmai Rava Fry...This place is definitely worth visiting and it will not disappoint you๐๐
tanduri and cheese garlic nun is to die for. main course items are scarce but good starters make up for the lack of main course item. too much rush causes u to wait a lil longer.food is worth the wait though.
the food is really good ..but the best dish was the masala kalamari ..which if ur a goan u will enjoy their red masala..besides that the cheese garlic naan are yummy..overall very reasonable and lovely place..๐
The food quality is very good though the service gets slow as the place gets crowded by 8.30pm... It's a very economical place . With recent renovations it would be thought to get expensive but they have maintained the rates and quality too.
Some of their best items are the squids Masala fry , cheese butter garlic naan, and crispy chicken which we relish.
Their fish items are good as well.
The naan in particular is an item to be had on it's own as it's just amazing.
A must visit ...
Good food, reasonably price, service is great, if one wants to have seafood, head on to this place. We had redsnapper reachado, masala fried prawns, egg fried rice, yummy food. :)

Cheese garlic naanโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ ohh my godd.. and dn came above all.. cheese chicken naan.. it was like blessings ๐.. and dn their chicken tandoori.. wow.. they have modified the sitting areas and have made G+1 but the quality is still the same... Thanks guys for this lovely food
This little shack like setup is just off the main road to Colva. They are famous for the local cuisine. Not a very fancy place but the food is quite good and prices reasonable too.
It gets a lil crowded and hence parking is the only issue I see with this place.
A decent place. The food is great. When here do try their cheese garlic naan. One of the best i have had. Over all experience was good. Only the service was a little slow since it was bustling with people. Don't forget to try the naan.
Love This Place. Have Been Going Here Since Years Now. Great Quantity and Affordable Prices. A Must Try. Whenever In Goa, I Make It A Point To Eat Here. It's Cleary The Best!!!
Not a fan of Cheese garlic naan, but it was yum. Cheese chicken naan and Goan chilly chicken are a MUST try ! Amazing. The portion is large. Our group of four couldn't complete the 3 starters. Service is prompt. Cost is minimal.
It is a good place. On the road from Margao to Colva. Good fish and starters. Service is good too.Tried the cafreal here which is vey good and overall a nice place for dinner.
Food is more than average . . .service is very nice. . . Location of this is at perfect place . . . Ambience is . .really good. . We had rum n fish fried which was quite good in taste . Liked it but not more than 3.5 . . .
Awesome squid calamari. just love it. place is crowded but it's worth the wait.. seafood is just superb. Good place for families to dine out looking for fresh fish. Must try.
Best food and cheaper than nearby restaurants in Margao. Goan food and Fish rava fry is specially tasty here. Also Chicken pepper fry is nice. Best for friends hangout place. Also not bad for family outings too.
Cheese garlic naans!! The USP of this place. Food is good for the price you pay.
Service is slow... But then you are in GOA!!
Ambience is good. Music is nice. However considering the fact that we were there during monsoon, we were kissed by way too many mosquitos.
Nice place, with some great food.., it is very much suitable for family and friends. Good service, price of the food is less than the taste of the food :p.
Crowded so try your luck for the table . A restaurant worth a visit. :-)
This place has become our adda.. v do visit it almost every weekend ..I donno what attracts us ..May it be the ambience, IPL screenings, awesome cheese garlic naan, finger licking good tandoori , batter fried squids, goan chicken chilly or the affordable prices of all these dishes. This place offers a power packed combo. And is always full for dinner. Better book ur tables by 8 pm ;)
Awesome place with awesome food!!!
quality is awesome...quantity totally worth it and the rate is very reasonable along with very good service
their chicken cafreal is finger licking good and a must try!
A place really worth Going!!!
Given the price, the food is excellent here. We tried calamari batter fry, crispy chicken as starters, both were good. The cocktail was great, beer was economically priced. The chicken xacuti with cheese garlic nan (Indian bread) was brilliant. But after eating so many things, your bill cannot cross 700.
But very few family people go here, so think twice before you head, parcel is available and free of cost. The staff is very helpful and offers you the best available seating.
If you are looking for Goan authentic food then this is one of the best joint in south Goa. Famous restaurant in local crowd.
Tasty food served very wel. One thing I liked very much is they serve palm size king fish slice. I liked both Goan masala fry and rawa fry king fish. Prawns are also good. Enjoyed sea food here.
Located around a Km away from margao. The place has good ambience. However there are very less dishes to choose from. The service is quick, food is at affordable rate and Cheese na'an & chicken crispy are must have items . Other food items aren't so delicious.
Our Go to place whenever we are in town, situated near the main Colva road, approx 500 meters from Margao. Small cozy non ac setup (like a shack), crowded if u reach after 8:30 specially on Saturday and Sundays. So be early if your going in a group, you can also reserve you table well in advance.
Now goes the food, we have our menu fixed as its the best out here which has the Reshado Mackerel, Juicy Chicken tandoori, Cheese garlic nuns (you gotta love it with beer) and their mix fried rice. Squids are Lil under cooked but the quantity is enough for 3 people.
Kingfish rava fry is one of the must to have.
Ratings - Service - 3.5/5,ย ย Food - 4/5ย Ambiance - 3/5
All 4 points only and only for the cheese garlic naan, I don't think you can find this gem any better in any other restaurant. The cheese just explodes & melts in your mouth. Keep coming back for more!!!!
Awesome place for food and drinks.... price is very resonable and test are great.... waiters are friendly and helpful. .... a must try place in colva
One of the delicious food i have tasted in goa at this place.. Garlic cheese Naan,one must try.. sea food, squitz is really good.
Ambience is very good..
One must visit.
Nice place to hang out with friends. Variety of fish dishes and delicious food. I liked their golden fried prawns with mayonnaise. Yummy. ๐๐ And also the cheese garlic naan.
Yummy.. Delicious food.. Nice ambience.. Very close to Margao city.. Do try the prawns fried rice.. Its very delicious.. Alongwith prawns rava fry... And not to forget reshaad Masala fry... Very delicious.. Pricing wise.. Its quite affordable.. Gud prices..
Fab if ambience is not ur major concern... its a decent place... food and drinks at a very reasonable rate.... do look out for squid masala fry, squids butter garlic, squids batter fry, lepo fry, legendary garlic cheese naan... awesome place for foodies!
Firstly the place is very good if you are looking for cheap and good food . Try ordering Kismoor and you will be shot with a plate enough for four people .Food overall is good . If you are going out with a group of friends then this the place to be.
Not recommended for couples though.
Ambiance could be little bit better . Since its Goa there are no complaints about the service and the staff.
Must visit at least once if you are in Goa since a long time or the matter of fact if you are a Goemkar .
If u have a thing fr cheese garlic naan and chicken cafreal combo...den this is the place....and do start wid prawn wafers!!!overcrowded most of the time unless u go early!! :)
The food here was amazing, a lot of good dishes, was a bit hard to make decision but eventually the food that we ordered was worth it.
For drinks I ordered a cocktail; Tequila sunrise, and I must say it was really awesome.
The service here was good too, the food and drinks, everything came right on time.
I'd definitely recommend this place to others.
Must try Goa'n fish items. Nice ambience, Sqids batter fry is superb.
Good vibes. Cozy feel. Goan atmosphere. Starters are good. Chinese not so good. Ample place to sit. Ideal for Families too. Four wheeler parking will be a challenge!
Overall recommended to visit in Colva area.
Decent find with some good food options and great service. The ambience is good too! Tried their squid batter fry and it was worth it! Crispy chicken was also pretty unique. Although, prawn wafers were a complete surprise! Didn't get any prawn flavour and it was a pure papad texture.
Ordered veg fried rice, crispy fried chicken, battered prawns, mandeli fish masala fry, fish fingers, lemon soda, chicken manchow soup and a coconut mocktail. The starters, soup and the drinks were good however, the mandeli fish was not fresh, it was smelling and tasted bad. The fish fingers were okay in taste. Service is a bit slow. Ample place to sit and have a good time with your family. Good ambience. Wash-basin and toilet is available here.
Excellent place for local Goan food, must visit, ambience is great and the cocktails are also must try.
Ben and Sand my first time visit was very memorable. Known for its seafood it is vfm. Ambeince is good. Approach to the restiarant is good though parking can be a issue. Service was good. Fish served was fresh and to local taste. Lovely place to visit. Family place.
One of the good restorant near margaon ,they have various verity of fish available, good kankani restorant, staff is cooperative .food is good in taste .good interior .u can book it for small parties also ,they have various option of veg nd non veg food ...good for non veg food ..it is nice nd price also low
It located on the way to colva beach. Restaurant with bar , Nice place to try Goan sea food. We ordered chonak fry, pomfret fry , rice and prawns curry with lime soda.
Lime soda is too good
Mosquitos were present everywhere.
Service is Slow when it's Crowded. For parking you have to find place in roadside.
It open till 11.30 at night
Good food.
If want to taste the real Goan flavour you can pop in to this place.
It has great ambience good to chill out with family And friends.
You'll get good Goan food but don't think of fish curry rice . For that there are other places.
Only 1 problem order takes time may be because of the fresh cooking and good cooking.
Have been hearing good stuff about this rest so wanted to try it out but it's very diff to get olace on d weekends so when d oportunity arrises on a weekday i knew exactly where I was gona have dinner๐คฃ the food is very nyc and the taste is very authentic.. they have a variety of food options but I was blown away with the cheese naan๐๐๐๐ it was so cheesey and the best chese naan dat I have ever eaten..
Great food. Fast service. Located near Colva road. Ambience can be improved a bit but otherwise the place is quite nice.
Very tasty food at a pocket friendly price..
Variety of foods, veg and non veg.. with alcohol, of course! ๐
Good portion size and really very tasty.. just the right level of spice
Loved it
The one thing you've got to try here is the cheese garlic naan. I'm sure you'll definitely love it. Combine it with any of your favourite starters and it's a delicious meal for sure. The naan is so good that you can actually have just naan too, without anything to compliment the taste. The one thing that disappoints me is the service of the place because it keeps you waiting for longer duration maybe due to shortage of staff. If you keep the service aside and are there for food, then you're in for a treat.
Nice place for goan seafood Food ..
Very slow service.. but food was tasty.
Great ambiance..
Dog roaming around inside restaurant.. feels unhygienic..
Otherwise enjoyed at this place..
