I can indeed confirm the Tandoori Crab was absolutely fabulous

there's even a photo of it in my Goa album from March on http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/goanjock/my_photos they keep the crabs in a basket dropped in the river so fresher than fresh

Hi John & Goanjock
Do you know Bobs Inn on the border of Candolim/Calangute The road directly opposite its straight down there to the beach (past the tibetan restaurant) once on the beach its the 1st shack on the left. They really look after you and if you dont want to be bothered by the sellers you wont be. Anyone approaches you they whistle and the sellers just walk past without disturbing you. We love it there and the food is lovely.

Hi GJ
I missed it I think he was on Sinquerim beach up by the Taj. I can wait till November as its never the same when you cook it yourself. I will have the pleasure of letting someone cook for me for a change haha, counting the days I can tell you.

Hi. Can anyone tell me, if you were to order a vindaloo in Goa does it come up as spicy as it does here (UK)?? Because someone told be before I went to Goa this year that I should get a pork vindaloo as it is delicious....??? Or is someone pulling my leg?

Also I would really like to try different curries in Goa, but I'm affraid they will come up too spicy and I hate wasting food, so I just play it safe with Tandoori Chicken, or a mild Massala. I can handle a bit of spice... can anyone recommend anything? Seeing as I'll be there for 3 weeks next year and don't want to live on Tandoori chicken (even though it is the best I have ever tasted)!

Hi Ginlizzy......
its a very mild but tasty curry made out of potatoes...and 3 puris, which are like deep fried chipatties (they blow up like balloons and are not greasey).....all for about 35 rupees.........yum yum yum

lozza07,

You can have most of your curries as hot as you like in Goa as they are cooked to order - just tell the waiter that you want more spice or that you like it "Goan Hot" they'll always do their best to give you exactly what you want.
