Fantastic food you've got to dine heređ
An absolutely brilliant property has a brilliant restaurant serving brilliant Asian food. That's how I would sum up my meal at this beautiful place here in vagator . I really liked their edamame dimsums Crystal dimsums and also their Japanese pizza. They serve the best friend rice you can ever have. Their menu additions are fab. Also their dark chocolate desert with Bailey's ice cream was mind blowing
Very friendly staff. Amazing food. Good Jain options.
We had dinner and lunch in spice traders. Restuarant looks so beautiful and staff were polite and extremely helpful for us. They served Japanese food. They taught us eating of sushi with sticks thats funny and good one. Must visit place.
Big fan of Japanese food and They make it really good
Had a Great time there
Dinesh is an excellent host who even got us special goat cheese wantons with mango sambal sauce which was scrumptious. Thai Brocolli, asparagus, mushroom and basil sauce was a perfect combination with the Cha Han Japanese Veg preparation. I am generally a meat lover but the vegetarian food here blew my mind up and opened it to eating vegetarian more often. đ Thank you!
I went for the Sunday brunch which was quite good. As soon as you enter the W hotel compound you know that youâve come to an amazing place. We were transported to the restaurant in a golf cart which was a lovely experience. The restaurant staff were extremely courteous, they went out of their way to make our brunch as wonderful as possible. The chef personally helped us select our food options from the menu and he was happy to take any other requests. The music was fantastic , and the band happily took my song requests. Overall a very pleasant experience. I will definitely come here again Thank-you spice traders restaurant. shruti_a_healthy_way

Having tasted authentic dishes from one of the finest chefs was a bliss to the taste buds. Tried #sushi and #dumplings out here. A royal and friendly treatment from staff made the visit quite pleasant. A restaurant with a beach facing good view would make your time worthwhile.
Awesome Place with amazing hospitality!! Taste is great too. It surely gives you a royal treat once you visit. Goat cheese wontons, pizza and pasta were really good. Wontons were above the expectations in taste. You have to visit this place if you're in Goa. Though the place is quite big to explore so you have to take their buggy service.
It was our first day in Goa and Spice traders impressed us to the point that we didnât want to leave the place. Beautiful ambience, delicious food and drinks and most importantly impeccable service. Special mention to Dinesh who went above and beyond in his service. Employees like him are a real gem to the hotel.
Do try their prawn and basil dimsums. We had it ordered twice because once was just not enough.

I recently experienced this place. I was here to participate in a media drive of Kia Seltos. The dinner was here.
Starting with
The place looks simple yet magical. The yellow lights with lots of neon does all the magic. It's a sit down diner. There is nothing much unique about the interior though.
Staff behaviour
The staffs are cordial. They will welcome you smiling and also come to you for feedback after you are done. They would suggest you drinks and foods to make things easy.
Food
Coming to the real deal. I tried Spinach Gomae with tofu and black prawn in starter, chicken and spinach dumplings, kataifi prawns in second course and grilled fish in turmeric curry for the main. The starter tasted decent. However the tempura black prawn had got a too overpowering smoky flavour that i didn't like.
The Kataifi Prawn was excellent. The Knafeh dough has been perfected that gave a good texture to the prawns.
The main course was damn good. The turmeric curry was tending to be sweet and that made in unique. I would have discarded the idea of a sweet curry in first place but you need to eat it to believe it.
Overall a pretty good experience.
After eating twice here in 3 days I can safely say this restaurant serves some of the best asian food Iâve had ! They started our meal with an amuse-bouche of four cheese wonton with mango sambal, and a complimentary drink of berries and sambal.
Ordered:
1. tofu krapao and Thai hot basil, with steamed rice - MUST TRY!
2. Gomae, black corn salad in chili and sesame dressing
3. Hanoi Hannah sushi- tempura asparagus and sweet corn - must try
4. Ma po tofu with shiitake mushroom - cooked in a spicy bean sauce - definitely give this a go!
5. Tom kha soup - must try!

It was my wifeâs birthday and this place made her feel so much more special than I ever imagined.
Thanks to the wonderful suggestions by Dinesh and the absolutely delicious fare served by Nishant. We could not find a single thing to complain about. Definitely suggest this place to anyone looking for that special dining experience in and around Vagator
So after a tiring day I went for the spice Traders to give myself a luxury dinner...and what an amazing experience with Nishant , my host...such a happy person and great recommendations ...food was amazing and the dessert was sinful...non alcoholics must try the kokam mocktail.... it was a beautiful evening with a high tide view from the first floor.
Hospitality and ambiance is to the next level, can give a try if you want a luxury dining experience.One of the better restaurents of Goa...
The place is beautiful, the view is breathtaking overlooking the sea. The food is good. My personal opinion is that the package of the view and the quality of service and food definitely makes it an upmarket style place.
Food definitely stands above the drinks. four stars only for the food and sea view and decor, which is different from many other places in Goa.
the drinks can definitely become original instead of using bottled juices and syrups in the cocktails they can make fresh juices and homemade bitters. except that this place is a must visit for pan asian fix whenever you hit north goa.

Spice it up with goodness:
Ambience:A two-tier seating.Cherry red cushions with an expansive sea-view on the top tier.Simple yet minimialstic.
The washrooms inside the restaurant on the ground tier need a special mention,as the washroom basin is adjacent to the w.c.How well space-managed isnt it!
Staff:Courteous & Attentive.The servers know the food and will walk u through each dish as u order.They may even oblige to teach u to use chop-sticks starting with the easy ones first.
While we were here we recieved some wonderful news on this restaurant.It had just recieved the travellers choice awards.Congratulations!
Chef:The chef has worked at the thai pavillion and then at the indiana jones where his food will do most of the talking.
Food:Sushi:SpicyPhillyRoll:The stuffing was with goodness of cucumber,avocado & cream cheese.The cream cheese is not over the top keeping it light and healthy.Way to go!
Veg calfornia roll:This had avocado,pears,pickled bellpeppers and cucumber.The bellpeppers tingle ur senses
In both sushis the usp was the creamy avocado tabled with light fresh cucumber.
CrispyWaterchestnut: This is a dish i have learned to like only if its wow,which was wow for me.Chillibase with chillioil with garlic and hint of ketchup add the required element of punch and the dressing of seasame oil is bare minimal which takes it to another level of yumminess!They take extra care by frying it in dusting of potato starch.
Edameme dimsums:Clear,crystal dimsum with smooth paste of edameme
Dipsauces served:Sriacha:chillivinegar:ginger:chillibean:singapore.
Green veg thai curry:This healthy curry has a medley of vegetables blanched and added.Simple yet flavourful
Jasmine rice:The regular aromatic sticky rice goes well with both thai curries!Superb!
Yellow curry:This is made with hint of fresh turmeric & goodness of fresh herbs used in thai cooking.Spicy rich caloric dish
Chahan rice:At best eaten alone.This has an amazing sprinkling of fried spinach on top,medium spicy with chinese kikommensoya,bulldogsoya & sriacha & fruit sauce which are used as flavourings.This has a medley of exotic vegetables cut very fine.Paarty!
We skipped desserts for being very full.
Should u visit?Go for it!
PriceFactor:2200rs for 2
They also do a mean sunday brunch where it comes at the table with alchol and non-alcholic packages to choose from.
Happy Eating!
Excellent Place without any doubt. Taste is great too. Service stands out, will surely give you a royal feel once you visit here. Prawns was above the expectations in taste. You have to visit this place if you're in Goa . Though the place is quite big to explore but the staff will help you out with their buggy service.
Went there twice. Loved the food both times, excellent Japanese food and loved the sushi. The service was pretty good the first time we went but was rather slow and inattentive the second time round.
Beautiful place , Amazing food , crazy vibes , really good service . loved it .with a backdrop of the mesmerizing Vagator beach . Expensive yes , but worth every penny . It's W Goa . Recommend it to everyone.
Wow wow this W restaurant is awesome. The setting the service and aboveall the food was just perfect. Hard to explain in words. Its a must go place There was long vegan menu and i was finding tough choic! Very secluded romantic outdoor dining place ideal for couples too. A separate section for large groups. I love this place.
One of the finest Asian cuisine experiences in the country. With a view to die for, and freshest of ingredients and an array of dishes from the South east Asian cuisine, everything works in their favor. The menu created by Chef Tanveer Kwatra is just magical. My favorites include the duck salad, tuna pizza, crispy enoki sushi and goat's cheese wontons. The flavors in all these dishes still linger on the palate. Can't wait to visit again.
All terrific food flavours world class . Soup starters main course very nicely balanced spice level . If possible Would have given a 4.5 for slightly tardy service but 4 would be not reflecting the restaurant. So a 5 . Will come again
Its situated inside one of the most luxurious resorts in Goa, W. They dont allow parking onside the campus for non residents but the security staff is polite and helpful. They take you to the restaurant in tata nano which they call as bugghy. The sitting area is as comfortable and scenic as it can get. Though outside view is nothing great. We ordered Cha Han rice which is their signature dish and it definitely lived upto its name. Superb. To go with it, we ordered broccoli and asparagus gravy. Great combo. Service is polite and prompt. Great exp.

For a work assignment, I was in Goa recently and I got to stay at W Goa which is hands down, one of the best properties the town has to offer. Considering it was a solo dinner, I didn't have the mood to travel, so I decided to check out the property's restaurant Spice Traders which specialised in Asian cuisine.Â
Being a sucker for dimsums and sushi, I ordered a Classic Har Gow, a Cantonese dumpling for starters. Topped with fish roe, the shrimp filling was top notch and I emptied it in no time. For mains, I started off with the Charcoal Tempura Prawn Sushi. I followed that with a classic Salmon Nigiri and ended on a high note with a Combination Roll which had a medley of seafood. Fresh seafood is easy to spot and what they served was absolutely brilliant. Service was extremely good and it was quite a flawless experience.Â
The above-mentioned items cost Rs 3422. Considering it's for a single person, it might sound a lot but the quality of food demands the price and hey, let's be honest, I ate a lot too!Â
RATINGS BREAK UP:-
Location:- 4.5/5
Parking:-5/5 (Valet)
Food:- 4.5/5
Customer Service:- 4.5/5
Ambience:- 4/5
Price:- 3.5/5
One heck of a dining experience. I can never forget it.
The best chinese or thai food i had here in Goa.
We ordered the entire menu, i guess as it was a birthday celebration. We had champagne, desserts, everything possible that day.
The staff and service was excellentâ€ïž
Thank you.
Excellent food,ambience & most friendly staff to take care of your orders...
Quick service...Good options for Veggies as well...Must visit place for authentic Chinese food
Very huge hotel great ambience if you want very hygienic food in Goa , you love Chinese than this is the perfect place for perfect food ... 5.5 hygiene 5.5 location 4.5
They really know how to take care of the guests. Also, the best food and perfect Ambience for a game night.
We ordered the following dishes, not sure about the ordered as were tipsy that night :D
Spinach Goame Salad, Tofu & Water chestnut in Starters, Truffle Tuna with Crispy Cabbage Raw Pizza, Yang Zhu Fried Rice and Tofu Phad Thai from Teppan Grill accompanied with loads of refills of JD and Corona. Everything was perfect, little disappointed with Pizza as it was burnt.
Went to this place for my moms birthday celebration and found it perfect for some calm and serenity.This place is great for a good celebration quiet dinner,anniversary amidst the chaos of Goa.
It is slightly pricery but the food is really different in flavour and style, definitely worth a try
Also, the decor,the lighting is brilliant for clicking good pictures.
Only dissapointment: the restaurant is not a drive-in restaurant and there parking is a little away,and if its raining (pouring in our case) you might have a really tough time
Food is brilliant and the service too, great experience!! We were seated at the upper deck .. it is a dim lit place and asian cuisine is served with many options to choose from..
Mouth watering food,amazing shushi and the staff is well trained , they suggest u the best dishes to try!
Decor and ambience is fantastic as well
Name says it all.
The real flavors you can get indulge with the experience of Asian Cuisine.
The Food is sooo good. Loved the Hospitality too.
Mind blowing hospitality, amazing food, fabulous ambience and location. Sonum, our hostess made us extremely at home. Not only did she recommend us some of the best dishes for a vegetarian but she went out of her way to make my wife's birthday special! It is said that if you serve any food with best intentions and love, the food will taste awesome, this holds so true for this restaurant. From the person showing you your seat to the person serving you, makes appropriate and meaningful conversation with you and gets you as comfortable as possible. 5 stars for food, 7 for the hospitality, they have completely set the benchmark way high
Stayed at The W, so Spice Traders for a meal was a natural choice! Went for dinner. In terms of ambience it has the âplace you can go to with your parents or conversation conduciveâ vibe. Food was pretty great - maybe a tad overpriced - but then if itâs at The W, that is to be expected. Had the Water Chestnut dumplings and Tuna Avocado sushi to start with. Both were fabulous but the standout dishes were the Chongqing Chicken and Black Pepper Beef which we had with Chinese Fried Rice. Definitely satisfied my craving for good quality Chindian fare! Service was the right balance of attentive and unintrusive.
Spice traders is perfection! I havenât had better Asian food in India. We happened to go there during our stay at the W earlier this year and have been longing to go back ever since. The Thai chili prawns and black bean fish were my favorite. And no one does Tom yum like Spice traders!
Amazing food and amazing service by Mr. Dinesh! The service is great and the food is awesome too. Must visit! Amazing hotel and food. Must visit for Asian food. 100/100
Went there with friends. Superb Place amazing food. One of the best! Very warm and welcoming staff. Will visit again and again! Donât forget to eat Japanese Rice and Khaouse .
Having the sea barely a stone throw away with unobstructed views of the sea ahead, this place is a must visit for that perfectly detailed meal. The food is scrumptious and the offerings are a delight. Allow Tapas the mixologist to create one of his specials to pair the meal accordingly. Must visit.
During our recent trip we stayed at W Goa and had one of our lunch here. The ambiance is very good. The sea view from first floor is excellent.
Must try đŁ sushi, prawns, Thai curry, chilli garlic noodles, and every thing on the menu.
The bar tender makes great cocktails. Ask him for his special's.
Service is very good.
Must visit if in North Goa... đ„
This place is an absolute stunner. The view, the hospitality of the staff and the entire experience is a winner! But make sure you reserve a table before going there. We had the following items there:
1. Goat cheese wanton- 4/5
2. Seoul surfer (sushi) - 5/5
3. Ma Po Tofu- 5/5 (their silken tofu was the best iâve had in a while)
4. Cha han rice (veg)- 4.5/5
We also had cashew feni with sprite and kingâs beer.
Would definitely recommend this place to everyone! And if youâre going in the winters, you can even ask for a table in the open seating area.
Food is excellent. Ambience is amazing. Mr Dinesh was very polite and hosted us well. Kudos to the team for making meals so enjoyable. Must go if one is in the area.
The name itself depicts the place.One of the most famous and suggested place for all people out there at Goa.Food was awesome,more than that the view was breath-taking.You must visit this place atleast once whenever you visit the place.Do visit n review and let them rate the place,So that they can improve and make it far betterđŻ
Amazing place... awesome food and fabulous staff.. what more can i say. They made me fell in love with the japenese food. Must try...thank u spice traders(chef/staff)for a beautiful experience.
Superb food...the staff was very nice. Their recommended signature dishes were amazing. Charcoal Tempura Prawns were just WOW! Whiskey cocktails were perfect as well..
Such a beautiful resort at edge of the beach. They have golf carts to go from main entrance to the restaurant. They give a amazing fine dine experience and the cocktails are super cool.
Try the udon noodles with minced garlic prawns
Really good Oriental food !!! One of the best in Goa. Mushroom and water chestnuts starters were just too good. So was the Japanese rice ( all veg of course ) The Creme Brûlée was to die for !! Must go ....
One of the best restaurants I have been to in terms of food.
Loved everything from the soup to the starters to the mains. Both vegetarian and non - vegetarian.
The staff was very helpful with the choices of the dishes basis our taste palate.
6 stars
We had an excellent dinner here! Food was really great! We tried sushi, crispy duck, Sichuan beef and a starter with prawns that I canât remember name off...but it was all excellent! Great service too, Sagar was the waiter for our table and he was really friendly and service minded
They had a great take on the food that they served. Light as air dimsums. A very nice jasmine rice meal. And of course, the deserts.
Service was very good and quick.
Amazing experience of authentic Japanese food, they have superb sushi tried their salmon cracker and raw pizza which is Tuna truffle with crispy cabbage though this is not regular Italian pizza this is pizza with a Japanese twist WORTH TRYING!!loved their upper section with a awesome Goan view, must visit for sushi lovers
My wife and I had dinner here last night. The setting was very pleasant, the food was very good and the wait staff extremely attentive. Highly recommended.
One of the best restaurants I've been to.. amazing food and very very good service. Went there on my bday, they made it extra special by giving a complimentary Cake which was out of the world..
I visited them for the brunch..... The experience was amazing!!!!! The music the food the service all blended into a perfect Sunday đ
Thanks to the wonderful team of Tapas Sonam Chandan and the ever delightful Thansing
It was a day to remember.... Thank you very much !!!!

By far its was the best chinese, thai and Japanese i had in goa after Delhi.
Itadakimas..
The spicy, crunchy tempura asparagus roll was crowned with siracha mayo spiced popcorn, that just added more to its brittle concept.
Falling sick with a bad throat & cold for me is usual in goa, and fluids intake as they say should be more, i called for clear vegetable broth that aided in uplifting my taste buds & subsiding my cough with its hardly added flavours yet rich waters.
Specially suggested by the chef present, for the mains we had kung pao chicken with sticky fried rice and vegetable red thai curry with jasmine rice. Using only the juiciest, succulently fatty cuts of chicken, the kung pao was mildly sweet with freshness of green onions in rather thick curry.
Running out of words is quite shocking for me, as beading them into a line of sentences is my job. But the vegetable red thai curry, didnt even ran me out of words, rather left me speechless & and sinking in its flavours. Concocted with only a utmost quality of coconut milk, the curry had a lot of body, texture & depth in terms of flavours & thickness. Coming back with hints of spicy heat, the initial bites is rather sweet.
Floating in my wonderland of food, i heard some voices calling me back, and i would have only returned back for some desserts. And dessert it was.
Deep fried Chocolate gananche cigar rolls rolled in liquidy chocolate sauce and salted caramel brownies with banana ice cream.
I had one of the best experience of food at w Goa which is located near vagator. We ordered some non veg food and food quality is delicious.
To actually write a review for this fabulous seafood restaurant, took a while for me to gather! The gem is encapsulated in a stunning landscape of gardens and water cascades amongst other things! Thoroughly trained staff did wonders in terms of their eloquent service and dedication. The contemporary design of the place not only invigorated the senses but was also soothing to the eye..Their fare of chicken and the uniquely prepared bamboo charcoal prawns were delightful! The chef in charge was gracious enough to come over to enquire the quality of his culinary skills. The dim ambient lighting and quirky chandeliers enumerated the entire experience! Kudos to the entire team for such a astounding affair!
Brilliant food! Every dish is 5 star.
Staff is super friendly. Definitely one of my favorite places!!
The truffle pizza as well as the Singaporean crab are a must try đ
One the the best Asian cuisine restaurant I have visited in recent times superb ambience and fantastic food..... by far the best fine dine place in goa.... must visit if u are in and around Vagator....
W goa has couple of restaurants but spice traders is my favourite.
Their cocktails are must try specially the whiskey and orange combination.
The food is just perfect and they have this roof top perfect for a candle lit dinner.
Must try if youâre Vagator or Anjuna.
We started off with the chongqing chicken - nice chunks of chicken mixed with cashews and spices made for an excellent dish to kick off things
Next up was the black and white tempura prawns ,,, fantastic presentation ,,, and literally black frm the outside and white in the inside ,,, tasted amazing and a must have for prawn lovers
Main course included the 'singapore crab' recommended by chef Dawa Lama and this was genuinely by far the highlight of my short goa trip ,,, right from the presentation to the way the tender crab meat melted in my mouth along with the tangy taste of the sauce ,, everything about this dish was wow !
Had the japanese fried rice along with the Cumin Lamb to conclude this wonderful lunch experience !
The decor is jus perfect to make for a relaxing carefree lunch and the service is top notch with a very proactive and friendly staff
Definitely a 'must visit' if you are in goa !
One of the best places in goa to savour Chinese cuisine and enjoy a nice fine dining experience. Not only the taste is top notch but the service is amazing. The staff is very trained and very polite. Went there a couple of times during my stay at W, once for ala carte (with fam) and once again for the Sunday brunch where I went alone.Needless to say now, but the brunch was amazing got to try some really nice dumplings, sushi and sashimi. As I was eating alone Thansing (one of the staff member and a really really person) nice kept me company throughout and made sure I completely enjoy the experience đ Definitely recommend this place đ
I dont think i have ever had such amazing Asian food anywhere in India yet. This was by far the most mindblowing experience.
So we ordered Dimsums, Japanese Rice & Noodles with Garlic Curry and all the 3 dishes were too good. Loved the rice most and the crispy spinach garnishing on top tasted so well with the Japanese sticky rice.
If you are looking for a fine dine experience with a view plus amazing food this has to be your go to place.
When the ambience is spectacular and the staff makes every effort to make the evening a fabulous experience for you.
Special thanks to Mr Manoj who took a wonderful care of us and the bartender Mr Prassana who was quite experimental and made us some delicious drinks according to our pallet.
Overall a fantastic experience!!

Spice Traders at W Goa is an Pan Asian restaurant, so perfect in every way. The decor is fresh, swanky and so eye catching. Good for any type of Dining experiences or special dates.
AMBIENCE
From the big Giant size chillies at the entrance to the canopy style royal seating, every nook and corner of Spice Traders exuberates class par excellence. It has two levels, the upstairs has a bar and open patio where one can enjoy the beautiful sunset orngaze at the stars with a cocktail from the bar.
The food styling, plating and flavours have to experienced here.
DISHES WE SAVOURED
Pizza
Both the Tuna pizza and Bell Pepper pizza served on a tortilla base were brilliant.
Salad
Spinach salad - The simple flavours were delicately balanced with other ingredients in the salad.
Tangy pomelo salad - Actually I never much care for pomelo but after tasting this, I was licking my fingers.
Starters
The Tempura style prawns coated with edible charcoal and a mango wasabi mayo was the highlight of the meal. Couldn't imagine such a dish could be created with such distinct smoky flavors. Take a bow Chef.
Both the (veg) fantastic mushroom sushi and (non veg) California sushi roll were too yumm.
Singaporean Chilli Crab - The presentation and taste was top notch. Served in a crab shell, this Singapore Crab instantly transformed me to Singapore. Chilli and acidity was perfect.
Dessert
The stunning orange cheesecake with a brilliant dark chocolate-almond base. Cheesy yet light, bitter yet sweet.
Cannot thank ' The W Hotel ' enough for their impeccable hospitality.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Ginormous acrylic chillis are hanging at the entrance to the restaurant, welcoming you inside. Surprisingly that is the only overt Asian element in the decor of this Oriental restaurant - everything else is modern and classy. Tres Chic! The top floor of the split level restaurant converts into a bar by sundown with a fabulous view of the Arabian sea, while the lower level serves out some delicious yet unique Pan Asian food.
A must order dish from their menu is the Raw Pizza - top grade tuna slices on a base of tortilla finished with wasabi mayo if you're a non vegetarian, and a bell pepper version if you abstain from meat. Both 'pizzas' were exquisite in their preparation, unlike anything I've ever eaten before. If you're not in the mood to experiment, opt for their classic yet refreshing California sushi roll (crab + apple + avocado) or the crunchy and addictive Fantastic Shrooms with a filling of tempura enoki mushrooms.
The Japanese style Spinach Goame salad (spinach + sesame dressing) was elevated with the addition of crunchy black corn on top providing an interesting textural variation. Another interesting salad we tried was the Thai Larb Gai salad where minced chicken came tossed with onion slivers, chilli lime dressing and shallots. Their Singaporean Chilli Crab was not only presented interestingly, but also had that trademark sweet spicy flavour that one comes to associate with this dish. Wish there was lesser sauce though, which could have enabled the crab meat flavour to shine through. My favourite dish of the meal were the stupendous Black and White Tempura prawns where the prawns were coated in an activated charcoal tempura casing and topped with a sweet mango wasabi. #MindIsBlown. Skip the main course here, and opt for their Orange Cheesecake with a chocolate almond base that came presented so artistically making this dish 100% Instagram worthy.
I brought in my birthday at spice traders with a few friends and it turned out to be the best ever! The team at the restaurant took such efforts to make me feel special. Craig's cocktails were the best I've had in a long time - such innovation! Manoj was great at recommendations. Big thumbs up to the chef's especially for the black and white prawns in edible charcoal. The highlight though was the mascarpone cake! So good, I just can't get it out of my head! Thank you for making it a perfect evening. Will be back soon!
Had an amazing evening with my mom in spice traders with amazing food and cherry on top was the amazing service we got
Thanks to the suggestions of our server Manoj the sushi for starters and the rice we ordered for main were spectacular and a big thank u to the chef bawa also for amazing food
W goa has become one of my fav places to visit in Goa
Good job W Goa team keep up the amazing work đđ
There is great food and then there was a meal at Spice Traders, W. So delicious, I just had to come and put in a good review here. Cant wait to come back!
While visiting the W Goa, be sure to check out the Asian restuarant Spuce Traders at the property. Nestled among the beautiful palm trees, just off the beach, this restuarant offers a wide range of Pan Asian Cuisine. Must try dishes definitely are the Thai Chilli Prawns and Japanese Rice as well as the Charcoal Tempura Sushi. Shoutout to our server Tansing for fantastic service and recommendations.
This was probably the best Asian food I have ever had! It is simply amazing! The sushi was out of the world and the Japanese rice with duck was ultimate. Brilliant would recommend 10/10

For a complete fine dining experience that will transport you to the kitchens of the Orient, Spice Traders is a must visit. Chef Tanveer Kwatra weaves his magic through his delicious selection of Pan Asian dishes.
I started off with the âHanoi Hannahâ which is a crunchy asparagus and corn sushi that will leave you craving for more. Pair this up with their rose petal infused vodka and take your senses on a culinary journey of beautiful flavours.
Other must haves â Waterchestnuts in a sweet and sour Thai sauce, Son in law eggs and wantons stuffed with goat cheese.
The Japanese fried rice cooked to perfection makes for a perfectly spiced meal when paired with stir fried asparagus and water chestnut in a cashewnut and sun dried Chinese olive sauce.
Do not miss the flavoured crÚme brûlée with delightful flavours like plain, apple, coffee and mango.
Surrounded by the prettiest oriental lamps, eye catching upholstery, a polite staff and amazing food, Spice Traders is a must visit for a beautiful fine dining experience.
Thecrazyindianfoodie recommends.
It was a delightful eating experience!
The cold pizza was outstanding tuna with truffle oil yum!
The Cha Han rice accompanied with tofu fantastic.the soya chunks spicy and soft, the rice irresistible.
The W is a beautiful property and this Resturant is definitely worth a visit.
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon in goa when I stumbled, died, and went straight to foodie heaven! Unlike anything else I've tasted in Goa, Spice Traders at the fairly new W hotel can give most Asian restaurants in India a run for their money. We had the "feed me" Sunday brunch so got a taste of a variety of dishes from the menu. Some of my favourites were the Tuna Tartare Pizza with Truffle Oil, Baked Crab, Goat Cheese Wontons, Thai Red Prawn Curry and a Lemongrass flavoured Lamb... there were more but by this time I was in too much of a food coma to remember much !! The cocktails / mocktails accompanying our meal also hit the spot. It's expensive and the view could be better (I'm told it's much nicer in the evening) but if you're craving top quality Asian food in Goa, this is where you want to be!
We decided to head to spice traders restaurant for Sunday brunch its in new property W which is really good .
As we reached the restaurant which has really good ambience and great hospitality and to sum it up has great food all the dishes we ordered were really awesome from soup to sushi, black pepper chicken, kung pao chicken, Japanese rice, noodles & lamb
Would love to be here again đ

As promised I'm back to review my last dining experience of 2016.
Starwood, this was my first ever time at a restaurant in any of your hotels and to top it all, I chose the hotel that's just 14 days old! I was okay and expected not so great experience overall considering it's a too new to be full fledged service and you guys were hosting a massive sundowner too, but I was left week in my knees and blown away with an awesome service!
Sonam at the restaurant's reservation table welcomed us to the restaurant which I can by far compare with Taj Lake Palace' welcome. She knew her job and moreover seemed to be living it. She proactively asked if we'd like to tour the restaurant and see the open air terrace, we were escorted to beautifully laid out terrace seating and we immediately decided to spend some time there with a round of drinks before we step down to experience the restaurant's fine dining.
Ambiance - beautiful! Don't think I need to say more. Everything is so tastefully designed and well placed. I loved the combination red with pastel. It's welcoming, calming and truly Asian, suits the restaurant pallet.
Food: to die for! We ordered for wontons stuffed with goat cheese - you've got to try this to know why this restaurant is called spice traders :) and for mains, I stuck to basic green Thai curry and rice- wanted to see how we go with it, I loved it ofcourse, my friends are a witness to me wiping the last grain of rice from my plate - no kidding.
Service - I'm in love with the way they have trained their staff! They knew the dishes and they knew their job. For dessert I was confused what to order coz all 3 options looked amazing, so I decided to do what I never do-- asked the waiter. I never do this because I ALWAYS either get an overconfident 'everything is good, you can order what u like' answer or a 'confused - not my job to suggest' look.
This guy was prompt, he made a suggestion-- 'sir, why don't u try salted brownie? We always have sweet brownie and salted one might be different. We serve it with banana ice cream and they both go really well!' THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO HEAR FROM EVERY STEWART/WAITER. If I ask for a suggestion I want a suggestion. I go for it or not is my headache.
And I did another impossible- I went with the suggestion and now I am writing here and suggesting you all to try it too. It is an amazing choice to end your fine dinner with.
I don't know the name of that waiter but I really want to appreciate his service.
I'm in love with W Goa and I'd never hesitate to visit this place again. Though Sonam at restaurant reservation table requested me to not mind if she doesn't recollect my face, I'd probably remind her that she's amazing at her job and she should keep up the great work!
Thank you for this experience.
WOW! One word used to describe their hospitality. We visited them on our Anniversary and they very sweetly celebrated it with us and presented us with a complimentary orange cheesecake. It was a perfect location for anniversary dinner. Romantic, candle-lit, by the sea with the sound of waves. Need I say more? The food was absolutely delicious. Do not miss their mushroom sushi.
Great spot! Buggy took a good 10 mins to get from the parking drop off to the restaurant. Had the Chicken Chestnut dumplings and the flame torched salmon sushi. The dumplings were packed with flavor, didn't need any of the additional sauces. The sushi just melted in my mouth. Went too late at night but the view would have been spectacular during the daytime/sunset. Would have liked to see some regular cocktails in the drink menu. Am sure the bartender would have made any drink but some local flavoured cocktails would have been good. Best part was the service...server was Mona Lisa..yeah I know! Lol Very attentive...good recommendation on the food dishes.
A great experience with a beautiful waterfront view , A must visit if you're a pan Asian food lover . Service was very slow , poor cocktails and waited almost an hour for a wine and cocktails and more than an hour for food . However the food and the ambience is really amazing đ€©
Spice Traders inside W, Goa is an excellent choice for your Sushi/ Asian cuisine cravings.
What we ordered: We ordered all 3 types of Sangrias and loved every bit of it. Moscow mule, although outside of the menu tasted great. Prawns Tempura, Avocado sushi tasted phenomenal. If you like dark chocolate- you MUST try the Dark chocolate pastry- it was heaven served on a plate
Service: Very average compared to W standards. We asked for recommendations and our server gave answers like âItâs in the menu, you can pickâ âEverything is goodâ which is not expected out of Wâs hospitality and the premium we paid for this restaurant.
Location / Ambience: The tables upstairs have a sea view and the ambience overall is Welcoming. The place is easy to locate in Vagator
I would visit Spice traders again for the delicious food and cocktails.

This was my first time going to Spice traders and it was good. I went with my whole family of 9 and they were more than happy to seat us and the service was so fast that I didnât even realised the food was on the table. I had the Rainbow Roll and the vegetable gyoza dumplings. The dumplings were good but I felt like the soy sauce overpowered the dumplings so I didnât use it. The rainbow rolls were nice and refreshing as well and there is also a lot of vegetarian options. 9/10 recommend
Food is nice, I don't know why my earlier review was deleted any ways... on Sundays generally it's buffet but we tried alacart it came to same price.
Ambience 5/5
Food 4/5
A fine dine experience at the shore of Vagator beach. We visited at dusk where you can get an excellent view of the sunset.
Ordered asparagus and spinach dumplings, goat cheese wontons and b&w prawns with rose sangria. Food is good as well as the hospitality
I checked out the Spice Traders Sunday Drunch at W Goa last weekend and it was so refreshingly different!
One of the things that made it unique was that there was only Pan Asian cuisine - one of my personal favourites! Live counters dished up sushi, satay, flavourful salads, Thai curry and live roast fish and chicken counters. What was also great was that the fare wasn't 'indianized' and the flavours were subtle but exceptional, right from the sushi to the pizza, stir fries and more.
To compliment the live counters was a menu of baos, dumplings, Pan Asian starters, a handful of main course options and desserts. There was a great magician, and groovy tunes by a live band and good service.
We had been looking forward to this restaurant for weeks and it did not disappoint. Amazing experience all round! Each dish was fantastic. My favourite was the duck dim sum. And the cheesecake had a different twist. The service was great with all the waiters being very attentive. Minor issue was the air-conditioning which was a little too intense.

This one's in W Goa. Very beautiful property and good ambiance. Its quite romantic especially when its less crowded. Try to get seat outside on terrace with view of the sea. For warmer months, inside seating wld be best. Prior reservations are preferred, coz when you reach the hotel they take you in a buggy or a small car to the restaurant, on a path where cars cant ply coz its a cemented way that goes through their gardens. This lill journey itself is so beautiful especially at night when thr is quiet and all garden lamps lit. It takes about 5-7 mins to reach the restaurant. We ordered some vegetarian Sushi and Dumplings. Both were well done, but quantities are pretty less. We tried their Thai Red curry which comes with a serving of sticky rice, which were quite nice. Very rich in taste. N lastly, we had the cheese cake, which was the highlight of the dinner. It was best looking cheese cake I have ever had. It looked like some Indian Rusgulla, totaly glazed, but so smooth to cut through and so satisfying on the pallet. So overall a good experience. I wld especially recommend this if you are on your honeymooon, or want a romantic evening.
The food is just amazing. I haven't had such great pan asian food till date. The service they have is mind blowing. They have 25 chefs only for this speciality restaurant (as told by the staff). We thoroughly enjoyed the food and were completely satisfied and overwhelmed with their presentation, service and ambience. Must visit for a fine dine when in Goa.
