These gems very well make Goa the place it is, and so we made you a list of our favourite restaurants that we wish were in Delhi as well to give us all those Goan feels!

The menu might be limited, but definitely has some of the best seafood in Goa. The pepper crab, butter garlic prawns and red snapper studded with recheado masala come highly recommended. On some days, they also host live music gigs! Doesn’t all this make you wish to have a mini version of the same in Delhi as well?
