Some of their best cuisines are Prawn Curry, Crab Masala Fry, Fish ambotik, prawns cocktail, Chicken Xacuti, Golden Fried Prawn, Pork Vindaloo and rawa fried fish. This place is in the middle of Aguada fort and Calangute beach. So, while eating in this seafood restaurant you are in the hub of Goa.

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating. When you are in Goa this season, do try these places. Suggest me new places if you discover.

Happy eating, Bon Appétit

Baga Beach Baga is one of the top party spots in Goa. There are plenty of shacks all around, nightclubs, and discos. The seaside is full of restaurants, cafes, shops, and resorts.
