Our Guestbook
“ Love this place. The staff are so friendly & helpful. We had breakfast at lunch: puri bhaji & masala omelette with buttered toast; lemon soda, chai & banana lassi. Total bill: 480/- including a mineral water. So a little more than 'real' India prices but definitely not as high as local beachside prices either. The food was a little bit 'touristy' (not so spicy) but still very flavoursome. Lovely atmosphere. ”
“ A wonderful discovery.. and we kept coming back and back ! Chicken 65, mango lassi, masala poppadums, kingfish thali, chicken xcuti ... so many delicious options. Generous portions and lovely service. ”
“ We recently visited Little Ganesha Restaurant during our South Goa trip, and it turned out to be a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious, freshly prepared, and full of authentic flavours. We tried Egg fried Rice, poori Bhaji, lassi, lemon soda & Chicken 65. They also had great options for Breakfast, lunch & dinner. What made it even better was the reasonable pricing, great quality at a very affordable rate. The staff was friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall great experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy tasty food without burning a hole in their pocket! ”
“ The food is great (we tried a lot of the curries) but it takes a lot of time, so don’t go there if you’re super hungry or in a rush. It’s a great place to go and chill with friends, their chai is super nice. They have tofu to switch with paneer for people who want more protein-packed, healthier options they also have gluten free options for roti. ”
“ Great food for sure! Tryout fish masala and stuffed kulcha. Banoffee pie is a must haaaveee dessert! ”
“ An absolute gem in Goa! This cafe exceeded all expectations. The food is a true delight, especially the Goan Thali – hands down one of the best in town. The ambience is so cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to chill all day. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive vibe. It is 1 min walk from the Patnem beach, so it makes a good place to chill after your swim. We tried the Goan Caesar Salad, Fish Thali, Veg Goan Thali, Club Sandwich, Masala Tea, and more – Each dish radiated the authentic flavors of Goa, leaving us thoroughly satisfied.!

“ A lovely place to grab a bite in Patnem. Beautifully decorated, a nice atmosphere. Great options for breakfast, lunch or dinner. With everything from smoothie bowls and salads to traditional Indian food. They also have ice coffee and none dairy milk!
