We visited this place based on the recommendation by my colleagues at work, it was truly a good experience and we ended up going twice , for Sea Food Lovers u won’t be disappointed if u are looking for Fast food and Grills they serve it well, we tried Grilled Lobster, where in the Lobster was fresh and cooked properly , the fries were disappointing though i would blame it on the weather and the Place, since they can’t stay fresh since it is a Open Window Shack where ur food can get cold quickly due to the winds, Chicken starters were good too, Veg Starters were disappointing though, I would recommend this place if ur looking for a place to chill out and not worry about a gourmet food experience and have Sip your favourite beverage for longs hours and enjoy the cold breeze and the Scenic View this Shack has to offer.Palolem beach is just a Step away from the Shack and Paid Parking Lot is located closer to the Restaurant.
This place is on the beach. So we had our lunch with a sea view. 10/10 recommended.
It's also not expensive and you can get proper GOAN cuisine here. I don't remember if I had the xacuti or the vindaloo but it was goooood.
Also, had the strawberry daiquiri as it was that days special.
Overall an amazing experience.
I asked for crab masala with rice, but waiter suggested crab saga with jeera rice as it was day's special. It was tasty and amazing experience with sea view. Finally had brownie with ice cream, it was great. Felt fully satisfied and value for money.
The place was crowded but we were able to get seats.
First of all the location as reported on zomato is incorrect.and also the menu and pricing as depicted here is not accurate.
All the dishes prices are almost 30 percent more than as quoted in the menu.
We ordered dal makhani and kashmeri dum aloo and butter naan.
Dum aloo was quite good but sal makhani wasn't that good
Good restaurant with decent view. Food was good. We had daal tadka and jeera rice. Which was good in taste. Food was fresh.
We also had hot and saour chicken soup. It was yummy. Staff is very polite and service is good. Restaurent is very near to market area of palolem beach and so the view to the beach is not so good.
Overall good experience.
Food with good view . What else you need to spend time..
Well known for their seafood .
Right at the entrance of Palolem beach . Easy to find .
A beautiful shack at the entrance to the beach. The floor is covered with sand giving you the feel of a beach. One can enjoy the food listening to the waves crashing on the shore. We ordered for French fries, masala papad, masala peanuts, veg crispy fried, hummus with garlic bread and veg hakka noodles. The food is gud here. Will come back next time for their tandoori n grilled items.
This is a sea facing restaurant with a concrete roof. Having said that, there is cane furniture and beach sand on the floor to bring the beach closer to you. We had the tikkas here and were completely taken aback. Apart from the tandoori preparation the plate was also loaded with crispy potato wedges, lemony salad and lip smacking chutney. Everything was perfect...right from the flavours, portion size, variety on plate, fresh ingredients and lastly, pricing. Highly recommended and a must dine restaurant in Palolem!
This place is truly a heave for sea food lovers. They have a wide variety of fresh sea food and they offer customisations ad pet your taste.
I tried prawns masala fry and tandoori calamari. They serve this with amazing salad and green mint chutney.
Their service is quick and this is a great place to have some beer along with flavourful sea food overlooking the beach.
Strategically located on the Palolem beach with amazing sea food. Don't expect service to the level of pampering but the sea view and the quality of food more than make up for it.
Excellent hangout place on Palolem Beach. To start with, beach IS the ambience. Too much crowd, you will have to wait. But it's worth the wait. Try Italian food here such as Lasagne and Pasta. Chicken with pemento sauce was a tad garlicky. Chicken fingers and fish fingers were crunchy, well cooked. Overall a wonderful experience.
The place just beside the palolem beach with nice beach view. The crowd is nice mostly foreigners. No music is played.

It was the best fish soup ı ever had but cant say the same for fried calamarı and humus bcs calamarı was too thin and ı just tasted the crispy part and humus had too much cummin, stuff was amazing
Have been visiting this restaurant whenever I visit palolem. Some how i have a soft corner for this restaurant. I love the food and view.
Seafood salad was excellent, along with that I had deep fried prawns and fish fry all of them were excellent. Staffs though cordial seemed bit lazy. Otherwise everything was very good.
It is a great family shack on palolem beach
With beautiful beach view in front...
And good vegetarian food...
Having lunch here was nice experience it is one of the best at palolem beach
Best place ever... amazing food...the best ever food in Palolem...
The place is very nice, the food is incredible and the Dropadi team are very well trained...
A "family" shack on Palolem beach. We went for lunch, it was full of all uncle's and auntie's and kids. Don't know about dinner time. (This is just to let everyone know that, don't go with high expectations of a hippie party place.)
Ambience is nothing great. Being a shack, it is on the beach and that's it. Beach is full of Indian crowd, people roaming around in formal clothing and shoes.
Service was really nice despite reading some nasty reviews.
Food: We ordered Watermelon feta salad, Butter garlic prawns, and cheese & garlic naan along with some beers.
Butter garlic prawns was a clear winner, 8 pieces of prawns grilled to perfection.
Naan here is 4 pieces, so order accordingly.
Overall a nice place for a meal (if don't expect a hippie atmosphere).
One of the best shacks on Palolem. It is perfect in every way possible. Food presention of food, ambience, drinks everything is amazing. Located on one of the most beautiful location. Must go here. Veg, non veg and sea food all are good
Only place in Palolem with a good sit down service and great tasting food. Reminded me of Britto’s on Baga. Their chicken roganjosh made our boys come back for more the next day.
There are very Less Restaurants in Palolem that are registered on Zomato. I think Restaurants here aren't using Zomato as much as in Delhi.
Dropadi topped the List of Restaurants in Palolem. So definitely it could not be missed.
One of the Decent Family Restaurants on Palolem Beach. We went there for Dinner. The staff is courteous & helped us in recommending Dishes.
We ordered -
1. Goan Shrimps Curry
2. Virgin Pina Colada
3. Veg Sizzler
The Food was Nice and the portion size was appropriate.
The only negative point what i felt was that, they Dont have any Outside Seating Arrangements like other Shacks on Palolem Beach.
One Good thing is that, They accepts Cards.
Overall a Good Place to Enjoy Delicious Food, while enjoying scenic Beauty at Beach.
If you are a Sea Food Lover You Must Visit This Place !
Being a vegetarian sometimes it gets really hard to get a tasty veg food in Goa. But this place will not disappoint you. Palak paneer was really tasty better than most of the places I have eaten. It's texture was not of slurry kind but more of mashed palak which I liked the most as it resembled the palak paneer my mom cooks. Paneer parantha was really crispy and had uniform spread of paneer even in the corners. Most of the times people forget about roti, butter naan here was so we'll cooked, had an apt amount of crisp and softness, it was neither rubbery nor hard. So all in all great experience.
*Tuesday Problem- Simply Vegetarian Day*
Shocked? You will really get delicious vegetarian food here....
One of the family restaurants set aside beach. You enter Dropadi by keeping your feet on the sand which stays with you while having dinner too.
This connects with you to the beach and gives a real feeling of beach side hotel.
@drinks Virgin Mojito was very nice. Apt lemon and sod. Fresh mint that soothens your mind and fill up your gastric juices.
At main course we had punjabi style food like Kadhai Paneer: Perfect amalgamation of paneer with related vegetables to make mouth watering kadhai paneer.
Dal Tadka: A perfect dal that was make by steaming it accurately, coriander for the look and properly separated each grain, this is what I like
Lacchha Prantha: A layer of and Tandoori Roti.
Each and Every dish was really yum and certainly homelike.
Go around to this beach side restaurant and enjoy the delicious food by enjoying scenic beauty.
One of best food joint in Palolem beach. Been there for 4-5 times. Food quality is excellent but hospitality is below ok. Must visit for good food.
I have been back to this place for the second year in a row.. This place never disappoints you. Must Visit place for awesome food if u r at Palolem. Plz ask the staff to suggest you some mouth watering dishes.. They won't disappoint you.
Beach facing cafe on Palolem beach. Very crowded!! We went to this place for lunch. Ordered king fish masala fry, butter garlic prawns, fish xacuti and plain rice. The king fish was very yum, fried perfectly. Fish xacuti was also coconut based goan style curry which went pretty well with plain rice. Ambience is good because its beach facing, courteous staff. They help you to choose the fish/prawn and price it based on size and availability. Place accepts cash and card. There are no qualms about seating.
Dropadi is the only beach side shack which serves delicious food. The crowd here would bear witness to the goos food.
We ordered fish and chips, which was really crispy, not too oily and well done. One of the best fish and chips I had for sure. Also the prawns & squid curry with rice was delicious.
Service may be slow on weekend or peak season due to full house.
Overall this place is a must try, if you are in palolem.

The chicken biryani and mojito was great but the total bill could have been 200-300/- lesser went to the shack reffering to to the old menu prices. Please update the menu on Zomato.
Stayed in Palolem for three days and had my lunch and dinner for all the three days in this restaurant only. Must taste food: cheese frittters with basil, lasagna (both veg and non-veg), Paneer Tikka, sauted vegetables with mozzarella, spaghetti and last but not the least brownie with ice-cream was like the cherry on top. Also special mention to the sweet chilly sauce provided with cheese fritters. Thank you for the awesome service.
I guess pictures will speak more than words for the first time. I wud recommend.
Its crowd n hustle n bustle but if u r a foodie..n a sea food lover.. u must go.. Cocktails are good to start from...
Went there for a Friday afternoon breezy lunch. Being on the beach, Dropadi is one of the most loved shacks on Palolem beach and for good reason. Priced fairly well, the food and service doesn't disappoint. Do try the cheese fritters with basil to kickstart things!
Been there few days ago. Very popular ang bzy sea side shack. Bt only negative thing is they don't have any outside sitting arrangements. Bt sea facing sitting presents. Now about the food. Food worth money. Vary tasty and fresh sea food and cooperative staffs. We went there consequently 2 days for dinner. 1st day we ordered butter garlic tiger prawn. They show us the fish they had and we choose among them, next we ordered sea food biryani, awsome food plenty of sea fish, 1 glass of mocktail pina colata and cocktail pina colata. Next night we ordered prawn vindaloo,prawn xacuti, plain rice and again sea fish biryani, well i must say every one should try xacuti bt the vindaloo i personally not prefer.
The atmosphere is cool.
The food is great. The ambience and service fall below expectations in Palolem !! Must try the sea food and the ice cream-fresh fruits combo.
Went there for dinner. Brilliant fresh tiger prawns and side order of baked potatoes for a fair price. Staff helpfull and polite. A must go in Palolem beach.
For the quite laidback afternoon lunch. Get a table on the deck near the ocean. Dig your feet into the sand and marvel at the vista in front of you. Grab a Mexican mint mojito while you are at it. Haven't tried the seafood here but I can guarantee that it is one of the best vegetarian options in Goa. Portions are huge and filling.
I keep going there again and again
First stop as you step on to the beach. A very organised one unlike other shacks. Indian continental seafood, you wouldn’t be disappointed, but wont be surprised also. I ordered prawn masala and malai kofta. Both were decent, little uniformly low on salt. This is on a deck, with a good view of the sea, but certainly for the night life and vibes, there are better shacks. I have always seen this packed though, so must appreciate the service and the way they manage crowd.
We were staying next to this place and this is the second time we visited food was decent, price was bit higher could be coz December is expected as season and you see lots of forex we tried kingfish rava fried, though I have asked for Tawa fried and git rava instead, in tomato mentioned try crab marsala with shell, but got cleaned crab meat masala instead, which tasted like crab makhani, rest my daughter liked Lasagne and others liked the food ambient, service could be better for Indians as well
It was an amazing experience for me and my husband.we ordered fried prawns and fries at first.fried prawns was soo good and highly recommended.both of us loved the food and only to have it again we had dinner from there it self.for dinner we ordered basil tomato soup which was mouthwatering and chicken tikka was really good along with the fried prawns.
THE place to visit when down south! The food and the ambience is just perfect!
The staff is very polite and the food is out of this world! Must try the seafood!
Situated right at the palolem beach!
Food was descent and ambience awesome(must visit around evening/night for better ambience) but service was not up to the mark. The location is close to the beach with the flooring covered is sand, I liked that personally.
We tried- crab soup, hummus with garlic bread (surprisingly it was brown bread), butter chicken, capsicum masala, laccha paratha and in desert ice cream with carmelized banana.
Only downside was the service it seemed as if they didn't care for Indian customers.
Best place to have food at palolem beach. The location is such that while having food one can view the beach sit back and relax.
Service is prompt they cater each request of yours with a smile and food is too good to be true.
Full 5 starts for the restaurant.
A place looks a bit like a canteen but it's clean and neat. The fact that is most of the time full can show that they serve good food (or maybe it's just because it is a first restaurant next to the main beach entrance). All the fishes that we were presented were fresh and looked like they were caught the same day (glossy eyes, no bad smell). Their pricing is also pretty good. For a starter I recommend crispy calamari served with 2 different sauces. Seafood soup need a bit of improvement (I tried a seafood soup in a couple of restaurants during my Goa stay so I know you can get a better one). From main except from any of the fresh fish, I recommend prawn masala.
Food was superb!!!
Sea facing
Chicken Harissa, Chicken Masala, King Crab,
Cheese garlic naan
It's not a very sophisticated restaurant but the beach view makes up for it.
Would have been a five star rating if they would have served the drinks chilled.
A decent hotel, sea facing. U get the beach feeling as their is sand on the floor. We ordered kinga beer, peanut masala, chicken masala n cheese garlic naan. Beer was nt chilled, peanut masala was made from nuts widout making them crisp. But Harisa Chicken and chicken masala is tasty. Cheese garlic naan is also good. The service gets a 5* rating for a courteous behaviour. Overall a good place to visit.
Food is good as per the menu...location is wonderfull..people should try moktail and other drinks...nice place to hangout ...overall value for money..
Food was good, there were quite a lot of options to choose from, for Both Vegetarians and non vegetarians.
Its a shack on the palolem beach, nicely located to chill with the view of the beach while you eat!
Service was good, prompt and quick. The waiter was patient, friendly and helped us with his suggestions :)
Great food and situated on the beach. Lots and lots of scenic beauty. With a great music playing and the sound of water flowing in front of you, it's the perfect setup. The staff is courteous and the food is hot and fresh. It's an amazing place to chill after a long day with a glass of wine or coke😋
Dropadi is my all time fav place in south Goa . Have been here multiple times with family and friends and never got disappointed on food and service. I stay at the lalit Rajbagh beach if staying in south Goa and visit Dropadi for food . Would highly recommend this place . Cheese garlic naan is amazing in this place.. do try it
Beach view shack with excellent ambiance and decent food we ordered seafood sizzler, chicken sizzler,veg sizzler ,jeera rice, paneer butter masala,paneer tikka masala, baby corn mushroom masala and naan except veg sizzler everything was outstanding.
Goa, during monsoons is a beauty...and the beauty increases even more, if you happen to visit the South side of Goa...away from the hustle of the North...
Situated at a hand's throw from the beautiful Palolem Beach, Dropadi offers an excellent view, especially during the night, when they light candles on the tables, and you can have your dinner watching the waves crash on the shore...
A dinner at this place, if you happen to visit Palolem is a must...
I deducted 1 star because I felt the cocktail taste was too strong to be counted as a proper cocktail...and during my 2nd visit, the oil in noodles was a bit too much...This may have been a one time thing, so won't generalize about it...The food in my 1st visit was exquisite, no complaints there...
A good place to relax on the palolem beach. Food is quite good. I particularly liked the rava fried prawns. Definitely worth a try if you are around.
There are many places in Goa where you can get amazing food but nothing Will ever, ever , ever match up to this place. My god I have been to goa many times but not once I missed to have lunch here ... The food served is so delicious that I ended up having lunch for about 3 hours! Trust me I am not kidding at all! Sex on the beach and Russian coffee are the best!!! And you can try any food here because trust me you'll never be disappointed! I do not recommend any specific food here , I recommend you this place because it's too satisfying to miss it! When in Goa do come here at least once!
If you are in palolem then this is the place where you go for food. Nice sea view, near the entry. I had been to palolem twice and both time I had food here.
Food and drinks are awesome. Tried lasgne and sizzler both were awesome. Even good taste in Indian Curries.
Only thing is your order might take some time because it's busy place.
one of the best restaurant in canacona i have ever visited n my favourite too .The food taste is so good n even the quantity is good price is also worth for the quantity absolutely delicious food i ever tasted!. Do visit 🍲🍤🍻
Restaurant with Spectacular view :)Trendy high raised seating with sand spread all over the floor, one can actual feel like being on the beach.
Tried:
Peach Iced Tea - 5/5
Hakka Noodles - 5/5 (with all exotic vegeis)
Vegetable Jaipuri Style - 4/5 (very delicious, thick and creamy gravy)
For Desert, had the Best ever DelicacyPineapple with Mint and Lime Sugar - 5/5 (So simple, yet so delicious)
Very comfortable seating, neat and clean and very much recommended.
It is located right on palolem beach.
A perfect sea facing shack for dining.
Seating is not very comfortable, but with the ambience and the drinks you tend to forget about it 😬. I surely would love to visit this place again.
With a typical rustic ambience with light music and sand at your feet, expect nothing less than luxury in this medium sized beach side restaurant. It is jam packed all the time so expect a little waiting time. Surmai Tawa Fry is the best here. The pieces (almost 20) were fresh and thinly sliced making them easy to eat. Prawns fry was very fresh while Prawns Ambotik Curry with Rice was delicious to say the least!! I have been here at least 7 times. They serve all kinds of beer and cocktails too. Located right at the main entrance of Palolem beach, the view is just amazing! Excellent food and worth every buck! Super place to visit in South Goa!
What an excellent find at Palolem! If you haven’t eaten here then I surely suggest you make your way there!
We enjoyed a couple of meals at Dropadi during our stay in South Goa last week. The stand outs were surely the Butter Garlic lobster, butter garlic crab. It tasted just as good at it looked! The fish and chips batter was perfection. Surely one of the best I have eaten so far. And he seafood pasta in white sauce cane packed with prawns and squid. Prices are very reasonable here. It’s all about the quality more ban quantity.
I usually paired my food with a well made fresh lime soda or fresh watermelon juice.
This restaurant is right on the beach and over looks the water, a great way to have a meal for sure. Polite and quick service. Special thanks to our favourite waiter Vinod for always taking care of us so well. No complaints, this place is an absolute must try! Looking forward to visiting again soon.
Stayed near Palolem for three nights. Had dinner at Dropadi twice. Love the location, ambience and the view. The food is just awesome, specially the sizzlers. Loved it.
The place is located by the beach and is the most well lit and well decorated shack on the beach.
The food is amazing and the quantity is pretty good as well. The rates are a bit on the higher side, which makes the restaurant-shack amongst the premium restaurants in town.
This place has some yumy and unreasonably prices food.
Cheese garlic nun is worth for the price.
There's this grilled fish they serve and they have an opem kitchen so seeing it getting cooked itself fills your tummy. You can see butter melting and dripping and it getting cooked to perfection
A perfect sea facing shack restaurant on palolem beach.the taste is good for Chinese as well as goan preparation.you can enjoy a nice beer drink along with some prawns cafreal juicy chicken tikka over a hot afternoon digging your feet in the sand ovelooking the beautiful beach.the menu is reasonably priced.and the next time I m here would definitely not miss visiting this place.
Coming in from South Goa to North Goa is a good two and half hours and this restaurant is so strategically located, at the entrance of Palolem Beach.
The entrance from the road side is pokey but it opens out to a fairly big place bang on the beach. We took a table facing the sand and surf and ordered ourselves chicken biryani, stir fry noodles and some fresh lime soda. The biryani was less spicy as we requested and tasty.
We gobbled up our meal as quickly as we could since we had an agenda to reach Butterfly island.
Goa by it’s name one can think of Seafood and if such a restaurant is there by the sea it has a wonderful sight. Good by location as it is at the entrance of the beach. Food is mouth licking and has good view to the sea. Seafood and Italian cuisine is perfect here. I have been here multiple times and it never disappoints me. I have always love had food experience. A must try restaurant. Good job guys down there.
Its just next to Palolim parking. We tried Grilled sea bass and crusty fried prawns.
Crab Masala and desert was also good. Food..Service..Location..Ambience… Everything is excellent.
A Must Visit Place.
Just next to Palolem parking and in front of thr beach this restaurant served fresh fish, prawns which we enjoyed with long island. Please visit and you won't be disappointed
I love this place. Whenever I visit Palolem beach, this restaurant is a must visit place. This restaurant is sea facing. I love their food and service. Highly recommended!
It was okay, I liked service but fries served with fish seemed old to me.
Very nice view on sea and sand on the ground is quite fun. + they accepted card payments
I loved the concept! By the beach and sand for the floor. Huge windows for view just add to the atmosphere.
Service vice, quick and responsive. Moderately friendly.
Food was served quick and hot. Taste wise it was really good. Gown prawn curry was my favourite 🙂
The food is the best I've have ever tasted!!! Definitely the highlight of my trip. The waiters are amazing at recommending as well, they are super honest as well- they will tell you if what you are orderIng is too much by quantity.
The places faces the beach and has dreamy location
For sure a must visit
Good restaurant with pleasant beach view and good food. Good vegetarian options as well.
Having food from beach shack is always a great experience as you get to have a fascinating view while eating and if food is also good, then you feel more happy. We had fish finger and calamari golden fry, both were very tasty and the dip given were also perfect. Would love to visit again.
Great Stuff, delicious food also for vegetarians, huge choice, lovely sea view and good prices.
All food i tasted(veg), was great, roti, naan and paratha are just awesome 🫓
Mango shake with ice cream just incredible. And virgin Pina Colada so tasty…
Recommendation 200%.

The place is very popular for its sea food. It has a nice ambience and and located at the beach side with nice view. You can visit there with family or friends.
Talking about the food there are a lot of sea food options and you can also order fresh catches of lobsters, crab etc as per availability.
The food taste is average and the cost is much high.
Visited there for lunch and the place was full. Average cost per person is 1000 to 1500.
The place has beautiful view of sea and good ambience. Lot of variety of seafood, though bit expensive. Service was super quick, however, a smile during the service would have been better.
Excellent food. Though price is on a bit higher side, the service & taste makes up everything. The serving person named Lucky was very well mannered & provided fast service. Will recommend to everyone in Palolem beach.
Dropadi:
By far one of the best restaurants we visited -- the best in Palolem. The food was delicious -- the seafood was amazing -- and reasonably priced with lots of options to choose from. Beautiful and shaded view of the sea. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Fantastic place to eat.
One of the best beach shacks to have the sea food in Palolem beach. You can have great food and drinks with the amazing views of the beach. Everything we ordered was great. Butter garlic prawns and Peri peri chicken are worth trying.
5/5, a fantastic experience and the quality was absolutely top notch for the price. We got the tandoori veggies, veg xacuti, and fresh tandoori lobster. The tandoori masala was so flavorful. Veggies cooked to perfection (especially those mushrooms!) and the lobster was cooked perfectly, and served the best I’ve ever had lobster. A must visit.
