  • 1. Mum's Kitchen

    $$$

    Smack-dab in the middle of Panjim, this Goan institution is indisputably the best place in town for home-style Goan food---and as most of the regulars are locals, the kitchen doesn't hold back on the spice. The menu is vast and enticing, so either visit as part of a large group, or when absolutely ravenous (but yet able to wait for a table; the service is brisk so the wait shouldn't be too long).

    854 Martins Bldg., D.B. St., Panaji, Goa, 403001, India
    98221–75559

    Known For

    • Semolina-fried Bombay duck
    • Spicy prawn recheado
    • Sausage curry, served with fresh poi (a Goan bread that's similar to a ciabatta)

  • 2. AZ.U.R

    $$$$

    The Goa Marriott's café and lounge, pronounced "As You Are," may be worth a visit for the bay views alone—fortunately, the quality of its limited yet choice menu won't disappoint, either. After dark, the coffee shop morphs into a relaxed evening lounge bar.

    Miramar Beach Rd., Panaji, Goa, 403001, India
    832-246–3333

    Known For

    • Calamari fritters

    Housed inside the Hotel Mandovi, this beautifully decorated restaurant offers formal tables with floral upholstered chairs and tablecloths and intricate ceilings embellished with curlicue designs plus a handful of terrace tables. The menu here is extensive and varied, and features an array of Portuguese-influenced seafood dishes along with Chinese and Western fare at lunch and dinner.

  • 4. Ritz Classic

    $$$

    If you can find it, you'll likely be the only foreigner at this family favorite serving traditional (and spicy) Goan specialties. Hidden away on the second floor of an anonymous block on the commercial 18th June Road, the restaurant is certainly worth looking for, attested to by the lines going out the door, especially at lunch. Service is quick and sometimes rushed amid the din.

  • 5. Sher-e-Punjab

    $$$

    Popular with locals and foreigners alike, this casual spot serves butter-laden dishes inspired by the cuisine of North India's Punjab region. It's situated within the Hotel Aroma, and is a great place to take an air-conditioned break from the intense shopping of 18th June Road.

    $$ | Fontainhas

    A walk down a narrow alley in the Fontainhas district brings you to one of the city's best-value restaurants, where reliable Goan classics, conviviality, and bargain prices are the rule. Featuring the award-winning cuisine of chef Linda De Souza, this cheery hideaway is crowded with locals and tourists---indoor seating can get cramped, but tables are also available outside.
