Great place for a peaceful dinner. The service is good. Not much of ambience, just regular tables and a small bar.
Visited a couple of times and tried a few veg and chicken dishes. Food was good with good quantity.
For me it will be the best place in whole Goa 🤩 I had their special Crab xec xec and it was the best dish I ever had in Goa. The gravy was something else. It's a must try if you are in South Goa.
Had visited this place on Thursday and since I was veg on that day I opted for Paneer Tikka Masala with some butter roti and my friend opted for Biryani. We were not disappointed at all. The Paneer was soft and oozing of flavor from the gravy and the butter roti was the perfect accompaniment to it. The biryani was also oozing with flavors of the Indian spices and the meat succulent and tender. Must visit this place.
Ambience was ok... A lil small.. good music.. food was good overall.. tried beef dishes and seafood.. all great.. cost wise also quite ok
Ambience 5/10
Food 8/10
Service 8/10
Everything we had was excellent - fried lepo and bombay duck, king fisher recheado. And fish curry and rice. I enjoyed the simple and friendly atmosphere.
Good Place to have finger food and Goan food.. Tried king fish Rice and it was quite good.. Ambience is OK.. But food stands out here.. 👍 Good place for lunch/dinner in colva.
Excellent food and good ambiance. Food served with love. Service was good and prompt. Lots of parking. A must visit in Colva. Highly recommend

When in south Goa - colva, you need to stop over at Viva Goa. Owned and Run by Francis who is an avid biker and a very good host. Been coming here for the last 3-4 years and not much has changed on the quality of the food. Might end up having a whole bunch of bikers hanging out over there. Just two tables setup outside while the rest of the place is indoor/AC. Service is really good. The staff and very polite and courteous, very helpful if you need assistance in ordering. Plus points to the staff for catering to my vegan friend. Coming to the food. This place is all about Goan cusine. My personal favourite is the Beef Cutlets - takes me back to Grandma's cooking, the Sausage Pulao is simple but yet so loaded with flavour,and the Pork Vindaloo you can't wrong with this dish. The rechado fish is pretty good, do mention if you want it spicy. The beef and pork chilly are really good too, juicy chunks of meat tossed in peppers and chilli and onions. Didn't quiet have space for dessert. 4.5 cause the restrooms aren't the greatest.
Decent place to hangout for a casual lunch/dinner. They have a large variety of offerings in their menu. This place gives uou lot of positive vibes.
A good restaurant in all aspects. Good ambience, good service, good pricing and best is taste. All what we tried was delicious. Specially like the chicken cocktail chilli fry and chicken mughlai. Highly recommended place to try out

I was in south Goa looking for a place to have dinner with my wife and kids. On the way to Colva I found Viva Goa. It's a restaurant frequented by lot of local Goan families. On the first trial night I found it to be a very pretty and warm Restaurant with polite staff and exceptional Service. I am a vegetarian and found the goan veg dishes to be delicious. They serve north indian as well..and that's too good and fresh.
We decided to try it the second night as well and we were lucky that it was a Saturday night. There was live orchestra and I never new Goan songs are so beautiful. For the first time we felt the warmth and friendliness of local Goan families.
They invited us to dance and we did that for hours and it was so much fun. That was our last night at Goa and it was the best time we had.
Three cheers to the couple owners who make sure every guest is treated with exceptional service making ViVa Goa one of the most vibrant and warm Restaurants which also serves delicious food.
Whenever I am in Goa this is one place I will have my dinner.
Viva Goa is a reasonably priced place near Colva. The place is kind of small with an average ambience. Unfortunately there were issues with the air-conditioning so that was a bit of a problem. The cream of Mushroom Soup was good. We also had Goan Mushroom Chilli, Chonak rava masala fry, Bombay Duck fry, paranthas and Dal Tadka Jeera Rice which was all good. The service was a bit slow which was an issue. Overall a good place for Goan food.
Excellent food, specially sea food preparations.
Very good service. Value for money. Just ventured by chance and discovered nice food joint. Must visit if u are in South goa
Truly goan food enjoyed every bite the fresh seafood which was served too good especially the Rechiad masala will visit again service by staff very good
Owners Francis and Annie welcome and make u feel at home..the goan food is authentic and excellent .. the prawn balchao n bombill fry ..are finger licking...will visit again to try out the steaks n sizzlers
I am Jain food eater but viva Goa provided me excellent Jain panner tikka in starters n the main course was also separately prepared for me . I liked it👍🏼
Viva Goa, Colva ... Is a must visit restaurant for foodies especially their Goan cuisines. Bet you would like to come again and again.Can't pick a single dish which is favourite since this would be harsh on the restaurant chef since so many dishes are good in all respects...
Excellent restaurant for sea food
Had been with my friends and we had enjoyed the mouth watering sea food. The service the atmosphere and the food is just awsome to resist.Do try it if you are in Goa.
Been. Wonderful Experience.....Enjoyed the Authentic Goan food...The karokae nights specially on Thu was amazing...thank you and will do visit again.
Viva Goa is a tiny little restaurant in Goa. They serve authentic Goan cuisine. Delicious Goan Sausage Pulao and Pork Vindaloo. One of the oldest restaurants i know of in Colva.
Dropped by this restaurant rather late for lunch Sat Jan 28th. What caught my eye were the nicely decorated walls outside the restaurant of Harley Davidson riders and being on a motorcycle ride from Pune I decided to stop. I ordered pomfret fish fry, fried mussels and some fish curry rice, all of which were really tasty with good portions. I enjoyed the restaurant ambiance which was nicely air-conditioned and had a relaxing meal. The service was spot-on and friendly. I would definitely make it a point to visit this restaurant when in Goa next.
The best food in Goa we had during our 4 day stay.. prawns masala is to die for, butter garlic fish yummy , stuffed crab wow... Just loved it.
Dropped in for dinner and decided to have some fusion as we'd got a bit bored of Goan food that week. Tried modso fillet masala fry with hakka noodles :-) Was quite tasty.
The best place in colva beach to enjoy goan food specially sea foods are awesome. If you are in colva beach you must visit the VIVA , where you will find very good goan food vegetarian and yes the specially the non-vegetarian . Enjoyed the drinks and the sevice was best. Visited the VIVA GOA with family and friends. Enjoyed the birthday celebrations. The best value for money. Will definitely visit Viva Goa when ever in south goa Colva beach. Enjoyed the Food, drink and birthday cake served by Viva Goa.
Awesome food and service. Enjoyed everything we ordered. Best food of this Goa trip so far. Authentic Goan taste. Good chilled beer. Will be visiting again soon
Definitely 1 of my best hunts till date..!
..every item we ordered was a top notch, right from scrumptious beef & pork dishes to seafood & chicken. They serve amazing food at optimum prices.
Not bad fr veggie lovers too....
Owners are delightful & sweet.
While we bid adieu to Goa, this restaurant gave us the most enthralling farewell. Cheers!
A cozy place - Lovely Ambiance - Delecious Food Specially Goan Food ... You have to visit and experience it .... All in All Just Amazing ....

It's hard to find a good restaurant in Goa, especially if you have not developed a taste for Goan cuisine. This is mostly the complaint that you see on the food or restaurant reviews. Viva Goa is situated away from the hustle bustle. They have varieties of food available to satisfy your hunger. I would suggest to try the Goan cuisine here. The pomfret curry with rice is really good. The price seems to be bit overboard and they mention that the "size really matters". I mean the size of pomfret. The taste of coconut and slight tangy flavor of kokkum with goan masala is refreshing. The prawns balchao could have been better. The size of prawns were really small. This is another Goan dish with lots of tangy and red chilly paste with a dash of sweetness.
The pasta marinara, veg hakka noodles and chicken sizzlers tasted good. But they could have avoided the green peas in pasta and noodles.
If you are in South Goa, this is one decent place you can eat. The restaurant is clean and minimal staff they have are really friendly.
Yummilicious food.. Value for money.. Perfect hosts.. Couldnt have asked for anythin more.. Mr and Mrs Owner (I m sorry I am not sure of ur names) u r doing a great deed by satisfyin ppls' hunger in a very contented manner.. LOVED THE FOOD, the new ambience.. missed d strays outside dis tym though..q Very courteous staff an very humble n down to earth Owners, after all they r Mumbaikars... We will cyu soon in 2017... A must go for everyone visitin Goa bcoz if u miss VIVA GOA ur trip to Goa is incomplete trust me on this...
'Viva Goa' is Lovely but Small establishment located at Colva.They Are Packed at Nights on Weekends...and also incase you love Having a drink or two..this is the place you have to be at if you're in the neighborhood...
They have another outlet right on The Colva Beach...which has a better presence amd ambience all together....but all in all... This Place serves some good dishes at reasonable prices!
Been here a couple of times. A small cozy place. We usually skip this if it looks crowded from the outside as it could get cramped if more than 3 tables are occupied. Food is the main reason we revisit. Service is quick. The staff are almost always very attentive and cordial. Seafood is usually fresh. Try the tuna on toast (not on menu), awesome find. Calamari butter garlic is better than most of the places I've eaten at. Fish fingers are another great snack choice. They have Nasi goreng on menu, which on yet to try. I wish this place was slightly bigger and spaced out. That apart, I have no complaints.
Great service, great food. When you eat at viva goa you are sure to have the best food goa has to offer. We went there twice once for lunch and then next days dinner. For lunch we ordered fish fry, beef chilly, prawn curry rice and the awesome goan sausage pulao. You have to try the pulao, it tastes as good as a biryani, super filling and super taste. Thye same meal we decided we have to come again, so told them if possible to keep shark and crabs. The next days dinner had shark tandoori, with 2 types of crabs - crabs filled with meat and veggies and then crab masala which we had with naan to enjoy the masala taste. All in all completely recommend.
Recommended by a friend. Not difficult to find , on the roadside.. Service is good and the food is awesome.. Especially sizzlers and steak.
Had an awesome time there with yummy food .
If you are seafood lover then this place is a must visit .. Absolutely delicious food freshly served blended in Goan masalas ... Good service overall...
Loved the food and vibe here. Rajesh helped us in choosing the food from the menu and also in customising the food to our taste. Must try Serradura and Tender Coconut Pennacotta.
The staff are very friendly and the washrooms are clean and well maintained.
Saturday night at Viva Goa is something you ought to come and experience. Live music by a vibrant couple hitting out great numbers, great food choice , excellent service and ambience is the coctail awaiting you. I was there today. Looking forward to more. Your hosts Mr Francis and wife, with their most hospitable gestures, would ensure you had a great dining experience. 5 stars..😊
A nice joint of colva. Food was very tasty though a bit pricey. We ordered fish Toasties, fenni, veg xacauti , serradurra and one fish thali. Each item was really tasty.
Cute cafe located near Colva Beach.
We had pancakes, chicken club sandwiches, and goan sausages. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a bar menu to choose from. The owner is friendly and sweet.
The ambience is cool too :)
We ordered pork chilli fry, sausage pulao and potato sausages. All of them were soo good. If you come to South goa. This is a must try place
A cozy yet wonderful cafe for a quick bite into Goan cuisine.
Food was great. Beef steak, Hot garlic chicken, Mushroom special were great. The mushroom was very unique and we enjoyed it. The senior person in charge of waiting at our table was so humble and warm, we enjoyed the food there. Price is great for the food that we got there when compared to North Goa. Enjoyed our meals there.
