Beach
Calm, sandy beach that serves as a nesting ground for olive ridley sea turtles each September.
It is quite a calm beach, generally less crowded and clean. There are ample activities like kayaking, boat rides, fishing, and water surfing. During boat rides, you are likely to see some dolphins if you visit at the right time.
Ganesh — Google review
The beach is clean and peaceful. You can find many resorts along the shore to make your visit comfortable. Lifeguards are appointed here to avoid loss of life, which is good for kids and adventure seeking youth. Try visiting early in the morning or late at night is you enjoy peace and quiet.

It’s simply the best beach in the south Goa, if you want to spend quality time with your loved ones and want peace. There are many beautiful shacks and restaurants near the beach.

Beautiful beach in South goa with much less crowd, has many cottages near to it with sea facing beds, there are not much activities to do here but if you are someone who just want to seat and watch sunset this beach is for you
Ashwini — Google review
Calm and serene comparatively. Also has some good restaurants and hotels. But you know what the best part is towards one end of the beach there is this river meeting the sea and it creates some beautiful stream and you could just play or swim in there. Note I went in march and water lever was perfect not more not less it gives literally a jacuzzi effect.

4 stars because the beach is now being infested by too many dogs and cattle. Last year it was a 5 star beach. For those who enjoy peace for their Vacation, a must visit and prefer to stay at agonda paradise, the best property in this area.

Very beautiful and secluded beach. Doesn’t have many shacks or vendors, so if you like a quiet beach place with few options for beachfront drinks and food, it’s a great beach to be at
Rajni Sharma — Google review
One of the best beaches in south Goa. You’ll find plenty of places to eat and drink. The beach is not very crowded, it’s clean and the water is clear. Must visit when you are in south Goa.
Rajeev Saigal — Google review
Definitely I wanted this...I wanted a perfect Beach Holiday, free from all troubles... amidst Nature and solitude... amidst friends and families. South Goa gave me that chance....but still something was missing. Then I found You Agonda...and immediately my vacation become perfect, my search for That something become complete. You, AGONDA, is not just a beach...you are a complete lifestyle.... carefully carefree... scenic yet modern, solitary yet always available, natural yet very much worldly, you are Beauty Incarnate. And what a beauty you offer...long stretches of golden yellow sand, even ebb and flow of the Arabian Sea, all round greenery, long line of coconut trees and a blissful perfect solitude...just amazing. You can easily compete with any foreign beaches... probably that's why foreigners are more than the Indians.

Nice and very clean beach. You can also try boating to tortoise, butterfly and other beaches. Please make sure you have a good bargain before starting the boating.

If someone looking for less crowded beach, wants to enjoy peace, enjoy the beauty of nature this is the place. If you want loud music, if you are a party animal then please don’t go here, as neither you will enjoy nor the place will enjoy your presence.

Visited this Beach during Christmas with German colleagues. The beach is very beautiful and spent memorable time with live music (evening), drink and delicious foods.
Dr. R. Maity — Google review
Other than a few fishermen, we found this place empty. The beach was not clean either. I don’t know if this was because it was not the season. This beach is also surrounded by hills on both sides and should have been beautiful if maintained.

Very nice beach. Smaller and less populated than Palolem. Natural beauty is great with rocks on one side and beach on the other. There are lots of places to play around and have a bath. Morning boat rides are also available.

Agonda is a small and charming village in Goa. The beach is really wonderful with a nice sunset view. It's super clean and not too crowded. You can have a peaceful and quiet time there, enjoying the beauty of the beach.

This is one of the best beaches in South Goa. Lord of adventure activities also happen here and is also less crowded. Kayaking, surfing and boat rides can be arranged here. Good place to chill and relax n have a relaxing vacation. Many food options are available on the beach and the lane adjacent to it. Only place in Goa where you will find multiple options to stay on the beach or with the beach view.

The most pristine beach I've visited in Goa. Stayed at a beach cottage, has a lovely time 2 days. It's already 2 days that I'm back & i can still hear the sound of waves in my head. Amazing unwind!

One of the best and surreal beaches we came across south Goa we just wanted to keep going back ! Best sand Best beach Best waves Best scenery Rocks in the middle Hike towards the south side of the beach into the rock and u will feel you have your own private beach oh boy so much for 1 beach We didn’t stay in agonda but during the visit we found the rooms available directly on the beach were a killer deal ! Most definitely next Goa trip will book one of the rooms on agonda directly at the beach Shacks are good Has a market too ! The crowd is mostly foreigners which is good as it’s peaceful and no crowd chatters pure peace and enjoyment! 100000000% recommended

Resort hotel
Simrose Resort is an down-to-earth beachfront hotel offering simple rooms and cabins, as well as open-air dining and yoga classes. The resort is situated on the Agonda Beach, close to Palolem Beach. There have been additions of four new huts (sea-view and garden-view huts), making it one of the most popular beach resorts in Goa.
In my yearly trips to Goa, this was the first time we explored the South. We came across this beautiful place Simrose and it did not disappoint us at all. The real view is far more better than the pics. The people managing the place are very down to earth. We reached the place at 8am and the check in was at around 12. The lounge in the resort itself is a like a cozy room where you can just lie down the whole day. The restaurant serves good food and in good portions. The staff at the restaurant or the resort are very very humble and kind. It was a homely feeling. I can just live there for months. Thank you Simrose for this beautiful experience. Waiting to return soon..

This was one of the best places we stayed in South Goa! Many properties boast about their proximity to the beach but this was one of the only hotels where we were able to take a only few steps to the ocean from our room. They have an amazing cafe as well serving delicious food. The hotels are very very well maintained, beds, bathrooms and your balconies are very clean and comfortable. At night, we just carried our blankets and star gazer near the sea with no disturbances. Will recommend this hotel
Virginia Kamala — Google review
We visited Simrose resort in January end 2023 . The resort as per location is great. The restaurant of the resort is located on the beach . We wanted a place where we can relax for 4-5 days without going about much as we were travelling with a toddler . So in that way it offered a great place . We were little disappointed by the size of the rooms . Though they were clean and well maintained . There was no problem but if you are looking for a luxury stay then you have to book their rooms with beach view . Ours was garden view room. The staff is very cordial and helpful .the crowd was sophisticated and no problems on that front too. Overall a great stay . We may love to stay there again with room having beach view 😁

We stayed here for 3 nights in August 2023. This resort is right on a quite beach, some of the rooms are beach facing but most of them are in the inner part. They have interconnected 4 bed family rooms which is a big relief for families. Restaurants is the USP which is open air and has a nice view of the beach. You can sit here all day and enjoy the breeze. The room I stayed in was pretty basic but very well maintained. It has a small dipping pool too. Service at the restaurant and in the resort is awesome and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Parking is a bit small but they manage it well with valets. Overall had a very pleasant and relaxing experience. Thank you team Simrose!
Kaustuv Dey — Google review
Spent 10 amazing days here with 2 small children. Rooms are fairly basic but comfortable and air conditioned, but the main highlights are the bar/restaurant and the beach. All food we ate was fantastic and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The beach is beautiful and quiet - on some days the waves were too big for swimming but it's mostly fine. Agonda is a small village (basically one road) but has some nice places to eat and drink and some standard tourist style shops. All in all a great value holiday. We'd come back here in a heartbeat.
Rhys Sutheran — Google review
One of the best place to stay in Agonda. The huts are beautiful and so is its cleanliness. All the rooms offers decent privacy. There are 3-4 types of huts which offer beach view, beach view from side, terrace with beach view, garden view etc. The food is absolutely tasty but bit costly. The entire resort has great ambiance. There is small pool right in the middle. The staff is absolutely friendly!! If you are planning to stay in Agonda, it has to be Simrose!! Overall great experience here!!
Siddhu 947 — Google review
I was very impressed by this hotel where you immediately feel good and at ease. Stayed there over 2 weeks for work & leisure. Grounds are maintained meticulously, and the rooms and huts are amongst a lush vegetation. I found that the layout of the hotel allowed guests to have their own privacy, you could not see well other guests on their balcony. I stayed in a pool view room and a garden hut and I liked them both. Room is larger and has a more modern feel, a bit more commodities but the hut is cozy and with a huge shower. Everything was spotless clean , the staff even came to wipe the hut lounge chairs daily, etc. The property faces the ocean and boasts s superb restaurant. However the highlight of the Simrose and what makes it « magical » in my opinion is the staff. Never I’ve seen such sincerely dedicated staff like there. Always smiling, they learn your name and really make sure you are enjoying your time. They *really* go « above and beyond ». I would definitely go back. Thank you Simrose ✨

Even during Goa's off-season, our stay at this hotel was far from enjoyable. We had reserved four rooms to accommodate a total of 8 adults and 4 kids for a two-night stay. Unfortunately, the rooms were not up to the mark – they were poorly maintained and lacked cleanliness. The towels provided were old and worn. The undisclosed cost of breakfast, amounting to 1250 per adult for both days, was disappointing. Despite the presence of numerous routers, the internet connectivity was practically non-existent. Even basic bathroom amenities were missing, and our complaints were disregarded. I strongly advise against considering this hotel.

We stayed here for 5 days and 4 nights. Nice peaceful place to spend time with your family and loved ones. The staff is supportive and 5 stars for the restaurant staff ! So polite and always checking if we need anything and at the end of the day they always asked us how was our day! We tried various dishes there for dinner, you can try their butter chicken and rawa prawns. The beach is clean. We stayed in hut , little small but manageable as we traveled throughout the day. Will surely recommend Simrose!

We absolutely loved the Simrose. The rooms were well appointed. Food was very good and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a good stay. Just what we needed after a busy work period.
Mike Walker — Google review
The service and the food were excellent!!! All the stuff was so super friendly and supportive! We never went outside for food because it was so super yummy. The seafood was delicious and also they considered all our extra-wishes (no koriander, no olives, no coconut, no honey…) The rooms (Hut 18 with sea view) were basic but the bed was very comfy and the big shower was nice after a long day on the beach. I would definitely book it again and also recommend it to our friends.
Nic Production — Google review
The staff were super curteous, the place was clean, and the view from our room was excellent. We stayed at the rooftop luxury hut which is above the restaurant and has a private balcony. There was no disturbance from the restaurant and we slept peacefully at night. Thankfully the folks here don't blast loud music. My favorite things about the room apart from the view were the ample racks and hooks to hang stuff on (which is usually a convenience most places overlook), and the clean and fragrant bathroom. I have given the place 4 instead of 5 stars because 1. The AC wasn't doing its job during the day. The power kept going on and off/voltage kept fluctuating. For the price we were paying would have been good to get steady power for the AC. 2. Food in the restaurant was average. We're foodies so that's a big one for us. But we enjoyed our stay and were especially impressed with the lovely staff who were so accommodating of our requests. Thanks, Simrose!

We one of our best times in Goa at Simrose. The place is absolute bliss. Clean rooms, in midst of greenery, very courteous staff, they would make you feel absolutely at home. Restaurant that faces the beach, you could spend hours over food, music and the great scenery. Evenings could be spent on long walks on the beautiful Agonda beach. If you are looking for a stay in South Goa, away from the hustle and bustle in peace, this is the place. Also, the restaurant staff are amazing, they are the best!

Amazing place with beautiful location and beautiful people. The service is top notch. Direct access to the beach is like the cherry on cake. Clean rooms, nice in-house restaurant, clean beach.. definitely going back to this place. If you have any special requests, please get in touch with the resort people and they'll take care of it for you. I know, coz they did for me. I asked for no perfume in the room due to health issues, and so it was! Amazing hospitality. 👏

What a great place to stay at! The serene sea views, super-cheerful staff and quick service, genuinely good food, and relaxing vibe made us love this resort. It's right on the beach and while there were some parking issues, I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in South Goa for a few days.

Opting for Goa's off-season, we expected a less crowded experience, but sadly, the hotel stay did not meet our expectations. Our reservation included four rooms for 8 adults and 4 kids, spanning two nights. However, the rooms were a letdown – they were poorly maintained and lacked cleanliness. The provided towels were old and worn out. The hidden cost of breakfast, totaling 1250 per adult for both days, was a disappointment as it wasn't disclosed in the invoice. Despite the presence of multiple routers, the internet connectivity was poor. Even basic bathroom amenities were absent, and our complaints were overlooked. I strongly advise against choosing this hotel.

This property is located right on the Agonda beach. The beach is so serene and peaceful it feels like your private beach. We stayed in the sea facing cottage and the view was just mesmerising. Food quality is good. We loved their veg biryani. Their English breakfast is also good but not great. There is another place around the corner which serves great breakfast. The staff were very helpful and supportive. If you’re looking for a place to stay in south Goa, this is the place to be.

The location is beautiful with friendly staff to help you with just about anything. What had me most impressed was the restaurant service staff, specifically Rohid and Vishnu. They are more friendly, sincere and dedicated than I have ever experienced service staff, even in very high end establishments. Seeing them every day made our stay (which was already great) 1000000x better and we appreciated every second we got to interact with them. We are really looking forward to seeing them again in the future. All in all our stay was a 10/10 experience! (Also look out for the friendly kitties! :))

Excellent ambience and very cordial and helpful staff. Food is amazing. Lovely stay. Very attentive staff without being obtrusive. The beach is right in front. The restaurant is amazing and we didn't have to step out for any meal. Agonda beach itself is far from the main road so gear up on medicines. The huts are small but clean and in good condition. Great attention to detail.

It was not beach facing but you feel surrounded by ocean and nature. Expensive but good Staff was not good. I gave clothes for laundry but they lost few and they was not accepting that it was their mistake once I saw them the picture of how many clothes i given them even they didn’t accepted. Drunk men peeing in the middle from his balcony when i were there with my girlfriend, we complained about that but not action. I can recommend you that hotel it was good If you book directly you can negotiate it good by that.

To be honest, this place is super pricey for the rooms they provide you. It is flooded with foreigners. And located on the beach. We loved the location and staff but price wise didn’t feel the rooms were worthy. Very basic rooms no fridge no tv no breakfast included in room price.

A Gem in South Goa - Simrose I recently had the pleasure of staying at Simrose in South Goa, and it exceeded all my expectations. The proximity to a stunning beach made it a mesmerizing experience. The rooms were impeccably clean, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration. What truly set Simrose apart was its exceptional staff. The team was not only courteous but went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. Their helpfulness added an extra layer of warmth to the already inviting atmosphere. Simrose is more than just accommodation; it’s a sanctuary for those seeking a perfect blend of tranquility and hospitality in South Goa. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a delightful escape.

The location is one of the best in Agonda, yes but the biggest issue for me was that the rooms are priced toooooo high for what is actually offered. I am from Goa and unlike what outsiders think, all of us do not wake up to the beach so I wanted to treat my mom and stay beachfront and found Simrose. The room we had booked was 'Side Sea View' but honestly its really misleading coz I paid over 8K for 1 night for a very very basic room to look at coconut trees and hear the waves and crows at a distant. So i spent most of the time in the restaurant - priced high relatively for what locals are used to but at least quality was good and the pool is a kiddie pool, so honestly when you pay 8K a night for this - you feel really reallly cheated.

Resort hotel
Dunhill Beach Resort, situated at Agonda Beach in the southern part of Goa, is a casual hotel that offers simply furnished rooms and beachside cabanas. It is an ideal destination for families and friends due to its beach-facing restaurants, huts, and cottages. The resort provides luxurious accommodation options like cabanas, courtyard rooms, and garden view rooms. Green Valley, La Dolce Vita, and Cocos are some of the nearby good restaurants.
It was a great great stay! In South Goa, this would be one of the best beach resorts with value for money. We booked a Luxury Courtyard Room and the room was super classy and spacious. The resort also has sea view rooms which is just on an immediate elevation on the beach. The staff was courteous too. The restaurant is on the beach and gives a full shack feel and the food is really tasty.

One of the few places in south Agonda to offer French press coffee, and it's pretty decent. Very good pancakes too - try lemon honey if you're tired of the bananas and chocolate. Very decent smoothies too. Rest of the food was just ok - wouldn't really recommend for a proper lunch or dinner, but definitely for breakfast. Very relaxing place where you can easily chill all afternoon in shade and stare at the ocean. Note: this review is only for the beach side restaurant, not the hotel.

Without a doubt, one of the top accommodations at Agonda Beach. We stayed there for the past three nights, and it was fantastic. The rooms were large and comfortable, with options both beachside and across the road. Clean linen, daily housekeeping, great bathrooms, outdoor seating etc. Plus, they had a great sea-facing restaurant and bar serving decent food and drinks. They also provide pool towel on request to house guests.

Excellent place to stay. Rooms are neat, clean, and well maintained. There is a variety of rooms to book. Beach is just 100 meters and they also had a good restaurant with decent food at a reasonable price. The staff is supportive and you get a good amount of discount if you book a room online. Really nice place to stay and spending a pleasant time. Definitely recommended.

It was literally a hop skip and jump away from the beach. We stayed in the Garden View rooms. They were very clean and comfortable. I gave it a 3 star because there are not enough plug points in the room, especially near the bed,so charging your devices becomes a problem. The bathrooms are not appointed well. They're clean and well lit , but need more hooks, etc, to hang clothes and towels. Also, the shower space needs a curtain or something that prevents the entire bathroom from getting wet when you bathe. All the staff, especially the housekeeping staff, were very polite and eager to make our stay comfortable. The 2 people I must mention here are Ms. Clarissa at the booking desk and Ms. Diana of housekeeping. If you book directly with them they give you a very good room rate. Breakfast is not included, but tea and coffee facilities are available in all rooms.

I booked Dunhill for 3 days and left within 3 hours. Even though the location is close to the beach, there is absolutely no availability of food. We reached after 2pm and were told that they have no kitchen or room service whatsoever. I understand that due to monsoons, the bar and restaurant is closed but if you're open to guests, you need to be very specific about no availability of food. I had paid 5,200 advance which I lost. Then booked another resort and moved asap. Rooms were spacious and washroom was good too. Beach is literally a few steps away. But no food was a deal breaker for me.

Agonda Paradise is a beachfront resort restaurant that offers a diverse range of Thai, Chinese, tandoori, and Continental cuisine. The establishment features charming wooden cottages with an authentic Goan ambiance, offering picturesque views of the lively Arabian Sea from their patios. With affordable rates starting at approximately INR 3,000 per night, Agonda Paradise provides guests with comfortable accommodations and basic amenities such as air conditioning.
Really liked the stay here. Very clean rooms and other amenities. Food is really great. Staff is really courteous and helpful. Location of the hotel is also amazing. If you take a beach facing room, you can see beautiful sunset right from your room's balcony. Place is really good for group of friends or families alike. Overall one of the better establishments in south goa on a decent budget.

The rooms are poorly maintained. The Beach is great and very clean. We booked 5 rooms but didn't like the interiors of the room. The good part is, You wake up in the morning and there's the sea in front of the room. Do enjoy your candlelight dinner at the beach with your partner. Food is good. The location is great but there's a single 10 ft road to reach there. People who love to stay away from crowds can definitely be there and enjoy themselves.

We had a room with a stunning view on the beach. Good A/C. Only drawbacks (keep in mind it's not a 4 star hotel though): showering is with a little bucket as shower head is not connected and the terrace has uncomfortable plastic chairs. Staff was very kind and helpful. I would not hesitate to go back.

I travelled in the month of May which was off season for Goa and only 3-4 rooms were occupied.The experience was so so...the location wise it's really nice.I booked online for the garden view hut which did cost around RS-2750 per night and the beach view hut costs around RS-4000. I will suggest don't book your hotel online if you are visiting off seasons (from April to August) The restaurant food is also a good option as compared to the other restaurants (except the king fish option). Room service is also good and the crews are helpful. The thing which made me sad...there was no beach chair for relaxing.

Agonda Paradise is best for stay. We booked both garden facing as well as Sea facing shacks. Both were equally good. All rooms are specious enough with good build quality. Shower needs to be changed as it throughs water everywhere. They offer beach side dinner which is great option in evening. They have small restaurant in property offer variety of food options. It's not big or fancy but can fill your stomach. Drinks are available if you ask for. Breakfast is not included in your stay though you can explore English or French breakfast option elsewhere or try options available in there inhouse restaurant.

Booked through Agoda and property cancelled my booking after one week stating they only allow 3 days booking. Beware while booking this property they might cancel your anytime Edit: to the owner, of course it is 4 days, being the owner of the resort and in the business for some time, do you need 4 days to check your bookings? And as you mentioned it is peak time, can you get back all those deals and hotels which I have missed in these 4 days? Have some business etiquette and do not lecture the customers. And be thankful that I haven't filed a complaint in consumer court. I am letting you go with this review.

We had booked thier deluxe first floor with a full sea view room. It’s a wonderful property with a nice amenities. Being on a beach side, their rooms are very clean. As fas as staff is concerned, they are humble and polite. Service is very good!! Overall good experience. However, little infra improvement is required. Like our door locks for washrooms and entry/exit were not working properly. Rest, we tried thier sea food (prawn fried rice ) and it’s hygienic & delicious. I am rating them 5/5 for thier great room location.

Title: A Serene Getaway at Agonda Paradise Rating: 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review: Our recent stay at Agonda Paradise was a lovely experience overall. The resort boasts a beautiful beachfront location and offers two types of rooms: garden view and beach-facing. While we initially booked a garden view room, we couldn't help but feel a bit envious of the stunning views from the beach-facing rooms. However, our room was comfortable and clean, although there's room for improvement in terms of the amenities and decor. A highlight of our stay was the exceptional service provided by Jay Bhaiya and Pratham Bhaiya. Despite our visual impairment, they went out of their way to ensure that we felt welcome and cared for throughout our visit. Their attentiveness and professionalism truly made our stay memorable. The resort's proximity to the beach is definitely a plus. We enjoyed leisurely strolls along the shore and took advantage of the private beach access for a relaxing day by the sea. Additionally, the option for activities like candlelight dinners and boat rides to Butterfly Beach added to the charm of our stay. In conclusion, while there is room for improvement in the rooms, our overall experience at Agonda Paradise was positive. The tranquil ambiance and exceptional service more than made up for any minor shortcomings. We would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in a beautiful coastal setting.

This place is very nice ro stay and chill out. The best part is the beach access, it was like the private beach and no disturbance. The evening was awesome and the dinner setup at the sea side was a different feeling. The only drawback is the narrow road entry to the property and it seems in most of the places it is same. You need make sure that u need to carry cash and credit card is not accepted here for the food bill.

Good location. Great property. Good service by the waiters. Candle light was great! No kettle to heat water to drink. When asked for hot water, the kitchen was closed by 10.30pm. WORST PART - HAVING STALE PRAWNS AND KING FISH IN GOA THAT TO AT A SEMI PREMIUM STAY WHERE YOU’VE SPENT AROUND 4K AND PAID 2K FOR FOOD UNACCEPTABLE! SINCE THEY MAKE GOOD BUSINESS FROM FOREIGN TOURISTS THEY DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT INDIANS!

The journey to reach the beautiful Butterfly beach offered an adventurous experience through a narrow muddy road. The absence of any other individuals added to the thrill. Upon reaching the parking lot, there was a trek lasting around 10/15 minutes, which could be conveniently avoided if one chose to use a scooty. Overall, it was described as the best off-road safari, providing a unique and thrilling adventure to Butterfly beach.
It was awesome 🤩 we all loved the ride to butterfly beach thank u Roswin

The beach was really very beautiful, but the journey to reach the beach was quite adventurous. We were just going through a narrow muddy road, and there was not a single person, and when we reached the parking lot and after that we had to trek for nearly 10/15 minutes and if you are taking scooty then it’s very favourable, since you don’t need to trek.

Kopi Desa Bar and Restaurant in South Goa, located near the beautiful Agonda beach, offers a delightful atmosphere that is perfect for enjoying delicious food and cocktails while capturing memorable moments. With its relaxed ambiance and trendy vibe, it is a popular spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Zest Cafe also serves delectable meals such as coffee, eggs to order, smoothies, and fruit bowls. Mandala Cafe is another alternative with similar menu options.
Kopi Desa at Agonda, Goa. I am absolutely in love with the restaurant in South Goa, yes one would say North Goa has options, you have more crowd but when you want good food and peace of mind at the same time South Goa is the place to be. Talking about this restaurant, Kopi Desa offers you a shack like ambiance, a place to relax with your friends and family along with some really delicious food and drinks. This is an apt place to stop by and have a quick bite or a proper meal. We tried the Dahi Puri, this was an unusual dish to find in Goa but as all chaats are in India this was delicious. We also tried the Hummus with Pita and it was so fresh, yummy and flavourful. We also tried the Watermelon Cooler and the Classic Mojito, all and all it was a brilliant experience one should try this place if you are in Agonda. Follow for More 😊

After checking out the restaurants in the area on maps, Kopi Desi rates high. Hence, the reason I gave it a crack! I had a Hawaiian pizza 🍕 and a couple of cold beers to wash it down. The pizza was OK, but 8/10 at absolute best. The beers were cold, which is always a bonus and the service was pretty good to. The only issue was I had to go searching for serviettes because there was none delivered with the meal. No big deal. The atmosphere here makes the place 👌 and although that was my first visit from me, I'll probably go back for another attempt. UPDATE - I came back for more tonight and had the fish and chips. The meal was very tasty and I thoroughly recommend coming to this place. And yes the meal was delivered with a proper cotton napkin! I highly recommend putting this place on your list when visiting Agonda! If you found this review helpful, please give me a thumbs 👍 up (it's free!) and please follow me for more reviews ☺️

One of the best places to have a steak and BBQ port ribs. We came here for the food and ambience three times during our short stay in Agonda. The homemade cinnamon whiskey, to lemon Ice tea were absolutely flavourful and perfect for our dinners. We had the steak twice and the ribs three times. A def stop if you are a non-veg traveler.

We ate some lovely small plates, which weren't so small after all. The coconut prawns, bhaji and calamari with Goan sausage. The butter milk chicken sliders were very tasty. Good food, good ambience. They didn't have several of the drinks we wanted unfortunately. The place is quite pricy but their food is different from the usual, so worth the price. The eggs Benedict took quite some time and were unfortunately mostly cold by the time they arrived, but to be fair, i saw them whip up the sauce Hollandaise fresh.

You'll get treated differently if you are an Indian tourist, they prefer foreign crowd. Food is extremely overpriced comparing to other options in Agonda.

People have been coming for years from miles around, especially for the incredible Sunday roast dinner so expertly put together by James and his team.

Arriving in South Goa on our first night, many places were closed due to COVID, but this spot was open, buzzing with vibrant energy.

I am here for a few days from North Goa and everything here is so much different...better and on another level even this Kopi Desa I had rotisserie massala chicken with the trimmings as shown in the pics...amazing meal at a reasonable price Its seems to be the go to place as off the beach as it was quite busy and the staff were non stop My only observation and not a criticism is the long dark haired guy doing the pizzas wasnt wearing any hair or hand protection which concerned me as a long haired person who drops a hair or 2 unknowingly Great place and a must visit I sat at the bar on the roadside but saw a TV that showed football...although I didnt see anything to suggest they advertise games I am sure you can watch it here

Excellent property. The small detailing in the rooms and the property was nice and very thoughtfully done. The room and bathroom are quite spacious and clean. Prompt service from the staff. The food is very very tasty. Some cottages have sea view which were to die for. Subodh was very kind to understand our requirement in the check out process. We loved our stay...

Fairly basic amenities. Spacious cottages. Renovation has taken away some of the charm - especially the ceiling with its fake wooden laminate. The beach has become very crowded compared to a few years back (hence the 3 stars on location). Staff is great and professional.

The location is really good. The front facing cottages have a drop dead view of the sea. The front office staff is very hospitable and helpful. The restaurant is run independently but so the job they have been tasked too. Food is average so are the drinks. Just take this place for the accommodation and the sea view.

***** NOT FOR KIDS AND VEGETARIAN****** I had stayed in garden view cottage for 4-5 days. I had very traumatised experience with restaurant staff there. Staff was rude , unprofessional and not punctual. Positive - 1. Property is just adjacent to beach , so you have direct access to beach. 2. Cottages are big , can easily accommodate family of four ( 2 adults and 2 kids) . 3. Bathrooms are spacious. 4. Property manager Subodh was reachable and was quick to address the issue. Negative - 1. Frequent power cuts. 2. Hot water issue, Geyser was not working and you need to make frequent trip to reception raise concern which is bit annoying. 3. Drinking water is not available all the time especially in late night/early morning, restaurant staff never refill WATER CAN in dispenser. Even the night staff does not pay any attention to such small things. 4. Food is pathetic and very limited options in Veg , even after giving the instructions clearly , waiter always mess up the order. 5. They served chicken sandwich to my kid. 6. They say that restaurant opens at 8 AM but the staff rarely comes on time(they serve after 9AM or so) . if you are planning to go out early after having your complimentary break-fast, then this can ruin your day. Verdict - I came here for peace of mind and relaxing , but THIS place gave us really a TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR FAMILY WITH KIDS. For VEGETARIAN this place is a BIG NO. Very limited or NO options in Vegetarian menu . They should focus on quality of food. No taste at all.

Rooms and service is good, no dedicated parking, no EV slow charging. We were to shift to the hotel next door, and they refused to provide bell boy transfer the luggage even if we offered to pay. Property is good, but for every small request be it early check-in I found, they take pride in starting with a big NO and then offer you can use the restaurant to spend time while the room is getting ready Restaurant and room services staff is very friendly though Please note you mention number of guests correctly at the time of booking since not all rooms can accommodate extra person. Overall still good experience due to location, well maintained rooms and restaurant

Already a highly overpriced stay and then they asked us to pay 3.4k extra for a toddler for our stay of 2 days. So effectively we paid a price of 5 star hotel and stayed in a below avg accomodation (They have only put efforts to make it look good for photos, but in reality it is a soulless room). The only good things about the place is that it is on the beach. But you will find it is charging 80% more than all the other beach stays similiar to this and even more if you include the cost added for toddler (also they didn't give any extra bed). Also free breakfast is also a completely ruined experience because you can only have 1 item from breakfast menu. And if you take a sea view cottage, they won't even let any of your friends enter your room or area because they don't want anyone else to have a moment of experience of sea view room without them charging for it. Beach access is the only reason they are getting some good reviews.

We stayed in a garden view cottage next to the beach. The accessibility to the beach is good from this property. But they charge ~2k/day for a 4year old even though u don't need an extra bed or extra breakfast. This brought up our cost/night for a garden view cottage to 7.6k per night which I felt was not worth it. So basically this place is made for couples only since they charge for toddlers as well. It would make sense if the age limit was like 7years+ but charging for 4 year olds is kinda stupid. Never seen this in any other stays.

Simrose Resort is an down-to-earth beachfront hotel offering simple rooms and cabins, as well as open-air dining and yoga classes. The resort is situated on the Agonda Beach, close to Palolem Beach. There have been additions of four new huts (sea-view and garden-view huts), making it one of the most popular beach resorts in Goa.
In my yearly trips to Goa, this was the first time we explored the South. We came across this beautiful place Simrose and it did not disappoint us at all. The real view is far more better than the pics. The people managing the place are very down to earth. We reached the place at 8am and the check in was at around 12. The lounge in the resort itself is a like a cozy room where you can just lie down the whole day. The restaurant serves good food and in good portions. The staff at the restaurant or the resort are very very humble and kind. It was a homely feeling. I can just live there for months. Thank you Simrose for this beautiful experience. Waiting to return soon..

This was one of the best places we stayed in South Goa! Many properties boast about their proximity to the beach but this was one of the only hotels where we were able to take a only few steps to the ocean from our room. They have an amazing cafe as well serving delicious food. The hotels are very very well maintained, beds, bathrooms and your balconies are very clean and comfortable. At night, we just carried our blankets and star gazer near the sea with no disturbances. Will recommend this hotel

We visited Simrose resort in January end 2023 . The resort as per location is great. The restaurant of the resort is located on the beach . We wanted a place where we can relax for 4-5 days without going about much as we were travelling with a toddler . So in that way it offered a great place . We were little disappointed by the size of the rooms . Though they were clean and well maintained . There was no problem but if you are looking for a luxury stay then you have to book their rooms with beach view . Ours was garden view room. The staff is very cordial and helpful .the crowd was sophisticated and no problems on that front too. Overall a great stay . We may love to stay there again with room having beach view 😁

We stayed here for 3 nights in August 2023. This resort is right on a quite beach, some of the rooms are beach facing but most of them are in the inner part. They have interconnected 4 bed family rooms which is a big relief for families. Restaurants is the USP which is open air and has a nice view of the beach. You can sit here all day and enjoy the breeze. The room I stayed in was pretty basic but very well maintained. It has a small dipping pool too. Service at the restaurant and in the resort is awesome and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Parking is a bit small but they manage it well with valets. Overall had a very pleasant and relaxing experience. Thank you team Simrose!

Spent 10 amazing days here with 2 small children. Rooms are fairly basic but comfortable and air conditioned, but the main highlights are the bar/restaurant and the beach. All food we ate was fantastic and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The beach is beautiful and quiet - on some days the waves were too big for swimming but it's mostly fine. Agonda is a small village (basically one road) but has some nice places to eat and drink and some standard tourist style shops. All in all a great value holiday. We'd come back here in a heartbeat.

One of the best place to stay in Agonda. The huts are beautiful and so is its cleanliness. All the rooms offers decent privacy. There are 3-4 types of huts which offer beach view, beach view from side, terrace with beach view, garden view etc. The food is absolutely tasty but bit costly. The entire resort has great ambiance. There is small pool right in the middle. The staff is absolutely friendly!! If you are planning to stay in Agonda, it has to be Simrose!! Overall great experience here!!

I was very impressed by this hotel where you immediately feel good and at ease. Stayed there over 2 weeks for work & leisure. Grounds are maintained meticulously, and the rooms and huts are amongst a lush vegetation. I found that the layout of the hotel allowed guests to have their own privacy, you could not see well other guests on their balcony. I stayed in a pool view room and a garden hut and I liked them both. Room is larger and has a more modern feel, a bit more commodities but the hut is cozy and with a huge shower. Everything was spotless clean , the staff even came to wipe the hut lounge chairs daily, etc. The property faces the ocean and boasts s superb restaurant. However the highlight of the Simrose and what makes it « magical » in my opinion is the staff. Never I’ve seen such sincerely dedicated staff like there. Always smiling, they learn your name and really make sure you are enjoying your time. They *really* go « above and beyond ». I would definitely go back. Thank you Simrose ✨

Even during Goa's off-season, our stay at this hotel was far from enjoyable. We had reserved four rooms to accommodate a total of 8 adults and 4 kids for a two-night stay. Unfortunately, the rooms were not up to the mark – they were poorly maintained and lacked cleanliness. The towels provided were old and worn. The undisclosed cost of breakfast, amounting to 1250 per adult for both days, was disappointing. Despite the presence of numerous routers, the internet connectivity was practically non-existent. Even basic bathroom amenities were missing, and our complaints were disregarded. I strongly advise against considering this hotel.

So polite and always checking if we need anything and at the end of the day they always asked us how was our day! We tried various dishes there for dinner, you can try their butter chicken and rawa prawns. The beach is clean. We stayed in hut , little small but manageable as we traveled throughout the day.

The seafood was delicious and also they considered all our extra-wishes (no koriander, no olives, no coconut, no honey…) The rooms (Hut 18 with sea view) were basic but the bed was very comfy and the big shower was nice after a long day on the beach. I would definitely book it again and also recommend it to our friends.

The staff were super curteous, the place was clean, and the view from our room was excellent. We stayed at the rooftop luxury hut which is above the restaurant and has a private balcony. There was no disturbance from the restaurant and we slept peacefully at night. Thankfully the folks here don't blast loud music. My favorite things about the room apart from the view were the ample racks and hooks to hang stuff on (which is usually a convenience most places overlook), and the clean and fragrant bathroom. I have given the place 4 instead of 5 stars because 1. The AC wasn't doing its job during the day. The power kept going on and off/voltage kept fluctuating. For the price we were paying would have been good to get steady power for the AC. 2. Food in the restaurant was average. We're foodies so that's a big one for us. But we enjoyed our stay and were especially impressed with the lovely staff who were so accommodating of our requests. Thanks, Simrose!

We one of our best times in Goa at Simrose. The place is absolute bliss. Clean rooms, in midst of greenery, very courteous staff, they would make you feel absolutely at home. Restaurant that faces the beach, you could spend hours over food, music and the great scenery. Evenings could be spent on long walks on the beautiful Agonda beach.

The location is beautiful with friendly staff to help you with just about anything. What had me most impressed was the restaurant service staff, specifically Rohid and Vishnu. They are more friendly, sincere and dedicated than I have ever experienced service staff, even in very high end establishments. Seeing them every day made our stay (which was already great) 1000000x better and we appreciated every second we got to interact with them. We are really looking forward to seeing them again in the future. All in all our stay was a 10/10 experience! (Also look out for the friendly kitties! :))

Excellent ambience and very cordial and helpful staff. Food is amazing. Lovely stay. Very attentive staff without being obtrusive. The beach is right in front. The restaurant is amazing and we didn't have to step out for any meal. Agonda beach itself is far from the main road so gear up on medicines. The huts are small but clean and in good condition. Great attention to detail.

It was not beach facing but you feel surrounded by ocean and nature. Expensive but good Staff was not good. I gave clothes for laundry but they lost few and they was not accepting that it was their mistake once I saw them the picture of how many clothes i given them even they didn’t accepted. Drunk men peeing in the middle from his balcony when i were there with my girlfriend, we complained about that but not action. I can recommend you that hotel it was good If you book directly you can negotiate it good by that.

To be honest, this place is super pricey for the rooms they provide you. It is flooded with foreigners. And located on the beach. We loved the location and staff but price wise didn’t feel the rooms were worthy. Very basic rooms no fridge no tv no breakfast included in room price.

A Gem in South Goa - Simrose I recently had the pleasure of staying at Simrose in South Goa, and it exceeded all my expectations. The proximity to a stunning beach made it a mesmerizing experience. The rooms were impeccably clean, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration. What truly set Simrose apart was its exceptional staff. The team was not only courteous but went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. Their helpfulness added an extra layer of warmth to the already inviting atmosphere. Simrose is more than just accommodation; it’s a sanctuary for those seeking a perfect blend of tranquility and hospitality in South Goa. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a delightful escape.

The location is one of the best in Agonda, yes but the biggest issue for me was that the rooms are priced toooooo high for what is actually offered. I am from Goa and unlike what outsiders think, all of us do not wake up to the beach so I wanted to treat my mom and stay beachfront and found Simrose. The room we had booked was 'Side Sea View' but honestly its really misleading coz I paid over 8K for 1 night for a very very basic room to look at coconut trees and hear the waves and crows at a distant. So i spent most of the time in the restaurant - priced high relatively for what locals are used to but at least quality was good and the pool is a kiddie pool, so honestly when you pay 8K a night for this - you feel really reallly cheated.

It's a favorite among international travelers and solo adventurers looking to mingle with others. The restaurant offers more than just delicious food; it boasts a charming garden setting with comfortable seating and even features a small boutique shop. Visitors can expect a beautiful ambiance with tasteful decor, good music, and an abundance of plants creating a relaxing atmosphere.
A paradise for Vegetarians and Vegans. My wife does not eat in restaurants where non veg is served alongside veg. So this place was a blessing for people like us. Now talking about taste of the food- It was one of the best food i have had in long time. Everything was superb...we were in Agonda for 4 days and we had our Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner only in Zest. Ambience of the place was also warm and inviting. All the staff were amazing and very warm. Special mention to RD for honouring of our request to cook yeast free pizza base. Really amazing...if you tell them you have some allergy...they will modify the same dish and present it to you. I am surely coming back to have some lip smacking pure veg food in goa. Enjoy the photos which I have clicked.

If there was a 10 out of 5, I would have gladly rated this place that! The food is just so amazing that you will keep going back. The place has the best vibe in Agonda with their seating, interior and the chill music. The staff is very friendly and food generally gets served fast. They are Pet-Friendly! We have come here some 10 times in the last two years and cannot have enough of it. If you are ready to spend a little extra on some REAL good food-this is your place in south Goa! Awesome job done, team zest!

Nestled along the beach, Zest Cafe offers more than just a meal; it's an experience. The sunset backdrop sets the stage for an unforgettable dining ambiance with charming shack vibes and twinkling lights overhead. The menu at Zest Cafe caters to vegan palates with finesse. The Mezze Plate, a delightful assortment of various hummus flavors, quinoa, pickled veggies, and crackers, is a standout. Each bite bursts with flavor, showcasing the chef's mastery of plant-based ingredients. Additionally, the loaded nachos offer a satisfying crunch and savory indulgence. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the staff at Zest Cafe manages to maintain a reasonable level of efficiency. However, due to its popularity, be prepared for a wait during peak hours. In terms of value, Zest Cafe offers reasonably priced fare, making it accessible to a wide range of diners. Overall, Zest Cafe is a gem for vegans seeking both delicious food and a breathtaking seaside setting. While it may not be for everyone, those embracing a plant-based lifestyle will undoubtedly find this spot to be a culinary haven.

Best restaurants at agonda beach. A great place for vegetarians and vegans. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. lot of vegan dishes on the menus. Have to wait for 20-25 mins to get your order as freshly cooked. This was the best cafe we had visited when in South Goa. It has the tastiest food items. I would definitely recommend this place for a great meal!

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Great option for all vegan lovers in and around Agonda Goa. Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation and wonderful dessert. The food was always fantastic, no matter what I ordered I was always delighted with my meal. Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. I was fortunate as this was at a walking distance from my resort.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting ZEST and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The ambience of the cafe is beautiful with tasteful decor, good music playing and an abundance of plants creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. I started off with a kombucha (spicy ginger) and I must say it was one of the best I've had in a long time - it is hard to find good kombuchas in Goa. But I didn’t like their other flavors that much. I ordered the Zest Thali and I was impressed by how tasteful it was. Good combination of items in the dish and the portion size was generous, leaving me feeling super satisfied. The service was quick and efficient, with the staff being very attentive - unlike some other reviews here. The dessert options were tempting and it was difficult to choose just one. I will definitely be back to try some of the smoothies, as they are often recommended by others. Overall, I highly recommend ZEST for anyone looking for a great dining experience 👌🏾

The place is beautiful!! We were here for breakfast and we tried the Buckwheat and Quinoa bowl with Kimchi and green tahini. The tahini was out of this world and I wasn’t to go back just for the tahini. The Yellow smoothie bowl was excellent too.

A huge highlight from my month in Agonda. Amazing food, staff, & vibe - I came here almost every day. Menu faves were the dark chocolate gelato (pic!), snickers nice cream (other pic!), & the summer rolls (3rd pic! great value - big enough for a meal). Special s/o to the hardworking guys who make this place so special. Joking around with them - and the warm welcome I felt every time I stepped inside - made Agonda feel like home. Don’t miss Zest while you’re here!

What a vibe this place has! We had a gorgeous meal on our trip to Goa this week, and were blown away by how delicious our food was. Super reasonable anyway for food in Goa but this felt like great value - as you can see in from the photos! The place itself was beautiful and staff were great.

We liked the place a lot. The service was excellent and the staff was really attentive. The juices tasted very chloridic due to the used ice cubes, but as we flagged that, our waiter instantly had us prepared new ones that tasted really good. The drinks as well as the the variety of dishes we ordered were of very good quality, nicely served and tasted delicious. Overall we had a really pleasant time at the Zest.

A great place for vegetarians and vegans. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. Sitting there feels a bit like being in the jungle with all the wood and plants around you. A lot of vegan dishes on the menus. Loved the vegan quesadillas and the vegan chocolate ice cream!

This is one of those place that gets its fame from being on the right trend to attract the right crowd and they are surely are getting a lot of crowd. We ordered a pizza, zucchini fries and a carrot cake. Zucchini fries were not seasoned the Greek pizza was great, carrot cake was good but not worth the 350 rupees we paid. The serving staff seemed uninterested especially towards their brown skinned clients maybe because they get a lot of pale skinned ones. The bill/invoice was hand written without any GST number, surely they are cooking not just food but also their accounts 😉. Parking for car as usual is a huge issue on that street of Agonda.

Great place for breakfast. Nit as cheap as other places, but they offer a wider menu, and their "Special Mandala scrambled eggs" are very special. The homemade bread was fantastic. Staff are all lovely. A great place to meet like-minded people and chat in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended

FOOD- taste not suited for Indian taste buds. I went to this place just by the reviews and wanted to try something experimental. I didn't like the taste. SERVICE- But the owner was very very sweet, he made something Indian for us and served it complementary, just because we didn't like the taste. AMBIENCE- they place good music and the vibe is great. Additionally beautiful interiors.

We are so hungry and went to this place by the reviews people were given. The cafe was so cool and nice calm music was playing in the background. Most of the foreigners were seen as customers. By seeing the menu we ordered Passion cooler and Mandala Scrambled eggs with salad and 1 small bread toast. The "Passion cooler" was the worst as it doesn't even taste like it has Passion fruit in it. Double confirmed from the owner about the Passion cooler that "Is it really a Passion fruit drink?". He is confidently saying "Yes" but as far as my experience it didn't. It just tastes like lime and mint cooler. Scrambled eggs were good but we had to order an extra toast. They should provide at least 2 pieces of bread. I felt that the cafe was a bit costly. The only good thing was that the cafe had good vibes.

I had a really nice time at this cafe. Got to meet people from so many countries while having my meal here. Since it’s next to one of the biggest Yoga Schools in Goa, the environment is very spiritual and holistic. I had a smoothie and muesli bowl here. Fresh ingredients and great presentation. The staff is also friendly and you can relax here as long as you like it.

We found this cute cafe based on mandala theme and it so beautiful..not just beautiful but their food was awesome . We had 3 meals there and ordered around 5-6 items , believe it all are so good in taste and presentation. They will take some time to prepare but it's worth the wait . Highly highly recommended this place.

This place is located just 50 metres from the main road of Agonda beach. The food is absolutely good over here. We ordered different things over here. I don't remember the name but i am posting the photos. This place is serves food with great presentation skills. Even the staff were friendly. The main disappointment is that they take lot of time to prepare the food as we waited for almost 45 minutes Overall everything is great over hear.

My partner and I went to Mandala excited about the possibility of finding another nice place to get vegan food in Agonda but we left a little disappointed. We're staying in Agonda for two months so have plenty of experience of other restaurants and cafes around and Mandala had only just re-opened for the tourist season about two weeks ago so we waited until now to visit. The first thing I noticed when we went in was that there didn't seem to be anywhere to get water to drink, or none bought to the table after ordering to refresh yourself with while waiting for food to arrive. There was a table with complimentary hot chai outside the entrance, but no water which is a little strange. The atmosphere was nice and the interior design clearly aimed at western, young and trendy customers, which the restaurant was quite full of when we visited at about 1:30pm on a Sunday. A waiter bought us two menus but we found them a bit confusing because not all the items have prices, and there's no clear labelling of which dishes are vegan or vegetarian at all. We read the menus but didn't feel like eating anything so chose a couple of vegan (we could only tell that from the description of the ingredients as none were labelled vegan or given prices) shakes. I had the Peanut Butter Cup and my partner had the Smooth Love shake. When they arrived, they didn't look anything special, and sadly they didn't taste very special either. In fact the Smooth Love shake was quite bitter and tasted mostly of banana, not strawberries or other fruit like we hoped. I didn't take any pictures of the shakes because I was a little embarrassed to do that as they didn't look anything special. When I went to pay, I felt the waiter expected to receive the change as a tip but because of the service and experience we'd had so far, I didn't feel I needed to leave a tip. The prices that we could see where okay, but a little high for the quality we experienced, and there is a restaurant who's name rhymes with 'Best' just down the road that I would recommend instead if you want very high quality western-style vegan and vegetarian food with great service and value.

I come to this place every year and the food has been amazing. It’s a perfect place for chai lovers, atmosphere is very welcoming and cozy. Being an Indian you might feel out-numbered by the foreign tourist but everyone is very nice to talk to. Some people have felt that the staff is ignoring them but in reality they are working very hard throughout the day and they can be a bit busy sometimes. Be patient as you will be served as soon as possible. It a great place to chill and have long conversations and for making new friends. I would recommend their avocado toast, spinach and mushroom omelette and masala chai.

Came here nearly everyday when I did my yoga training 4 years ago. Recently visited Agonda again with friends and this was a must. Everyone enjoyed and we ended up stopping through every day of our trip. You can’t go wrong with the menu. Everything is delicious from food, drinks, snacks, dessert. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and accommodating if you require any modifications. There’s lots of vegan/veggie friendly options. You can tell everything is made with love and fresh!🥰

Absolutely love this cafe, the aesthetic/ decor is beautiful which really drew me in when I saw it from the street. The food is delicious, a mix of authentic South Indian dishes alongside some Asian fusion/ Middle Eastern/ western dishes. We had the special tali which was very tasty and huge portions. I will be back 🙏🏼🌻
