The good old Avinay always been a regular at this place whenever I visit Goa. However make sure you check your fish and as the price before you order as these people tend to add any rate for tourists.
Must try the Fish thali, crumb fried mussels and kingfish raway fry.
Not at all a bad place. Lot of locals visit here for no frills good local seafood. Hygiene is maintained throughout the restaurant. Maybe a few spots here and there ignored. If you are looking for a classy seafood restaurant to go with your family and all then maybe you should think again. I mean you wont have the comforts of a classy restaurant with regards to seating, plating etc. If you dont mind that then please do visit to get a good dose of Goan seafood. Avoid Mughlai or any North Indian food, I mean seriously who does that ??
Reasonably priced food. The Kingfish Masala and the Chonak cafreal are excellent and so is the crispy chicken.
Fish thali too is pretty good.
I have visited this place for lunch every time I visit Goa. Avinay is a local restaurant which serves seafood with local goan flavours. You will find local goans visiting this place. You should try the rava fried calamaris, rava fried goan chonak fish and masala chonak which has the local goan masala. The masala is finger licking good... The seafood thali has to be tried for sure... That will finish your meal...
Ambience is not that great, plastic tables and chairs. It has a small a/c room. Serves alcohol - who doesn't in Goa. The service has been swift every time I have visited. Parking is a bit tricky if you have a car.
To sum it up, its a great place sheerly because of the food. If you don't care about the ambience, you should visit this place and I assure you will come back again.
The place to have local Goan seafood. I have been to this place many times for lunch only. It serves the best seafood thali.
The king fish thali is something that is a must try.
My family of 3 were searching for a typical goan style sea food near Candolim. I got an info from the receptionist at santana beach resort to have dinner at Avinay which is a budget restaurant and good in taste which proved to be the best in taste and quality. The service and hospitality was so nice that we felt home. We ate prawns and fish which melted in our mouth and the taste took us on cloud 9. A must to visit when in Goa. Thanks Avinay staff. Though it's a small place it was a great experience and I will sure visit again.
It is a typical kind of bar with plastic table n chair
They having very short food menu
Bt with a great taste n good service.

IMO , this is the best place for seafood items near Candolim. Ambience is not great but the food is yummy!
A lot of people come here for lunch. Their fish thali is famous.
Must try - Squids masala fry and prawns rawa fry.
Fantastic as always. Dined here last year as well. Came this year to a done up place, Larger AC area, with pleasant interior decoration, soothing music and very good hosting skills. The non AC area is also so much smarter. The cat was present as usual but escaped the pets we wanted to give it.
We enjoyed the regular fish thali, the prawn thali and the fried prawns. Fresh lime soda was also so good. Since I wasn't interested in anything cold the server suggested a warm lime water drink for me. Which I really appreciated. Food was cooked to perfection and piping hot. We were told of the wait time of 20 mins which is understandable considering the seafood has to be fried. Our family had a wonderful afternoon here. Don't miss a visit to Avinay restaurant. It's the best for food taste.
One of our favourite fish curry thali joints. Very under rated. One can see only regular locals visiting this place for some amazing fresh fish and other dishes, too.
Must try
Say "Rice Plate" and what you get is probably the BEST fish curry-rice in Goa. In fact, Each and EVERY thing listed on the menu is a gem - no ok, no average, no medium, the BEST is all this place serves. Been eating here for 15 years whenever on holiday in Goa and never been disappointed. Have recommended Avinay to countless friends and never heard a complaint, in fact these friends also become regulars. Quantity has gone down over the years and there's not much of an Ambience to talk about. The single-pot toilet gets overwhelmed very easily. Come here for the food... And you'll keep coming back. Prices very reasonable.
Nice place for fish thali. The fish served in the thali was nice. Also the prawns goan masala was also good with nice juicy prawns. Decent place to come for lunch and have a beer along with your meal.
The food at this place is amazing. Must visit place for seafood lovers. Their fish thali and seafood dishes are highly recommended.
A must visit place for seafood...
Also their chicken items a must try (chicken tandoori). Once you visit you'll not regret..
The staff is also friendly which makes you feel good.
Dishes in their menu specifically chicken items that I've tried are delicious.. have recommended it to many and no one till date is disappointed..
Seafood i.e.prawns and leppo that i tried was very fresh and the marination was too good.. fingerlicking.
Ok place
More like a local bar
Rates r little expensive
The food is pretty great ❤️ especially the tandoori chicken and squid rachaedo is to die for🤤
10/10 would recommend
