Spice Oven in Arpora is excellent but don't tell everyone!! :rofl

I find that the TIBET restaurant is great value for money. Portions are big so you can easily get away with sharing starters and mains. Rice and noodles are alway big enough to share. So are the Momos and soup. Tibet is on the Calangute Beach steps Road next to the Parade ground/football ground that is now a coach park. Opposite Sunflowers hotel. Not to be mixed up with the other 2 Tibetan restaurants down the same road.
Tel 09850473914/09186344545.

Also in the same vicinity is Alleys. This is on the road behind the Calangute main Beach steps road. Near Falcon Guest House, Popeyes and where the buses turn round.
Tel Harry 9850832405.
Proper mash potatoes and home made pies. Excellent Tandoori and usual Indian , Chinese fare.

Hi all am busy writing down some of the reccomendations. But does anyone know of some fun nights out. We went to the Scottish bar next door to Sudans and ended up playing, Play Your Cards Right. It was a really good night, lost a bit of money but the proceeds went to charity and it was a good laugh. Any suggestions ?

Mango tree in Vagator is cheap as chips, the food is excellent and the staff very pleasant :tup 5 of us ate there one night and it came to less than a tenner, I recommend the chicken shaslik, it is the best I have ever had :tup

There is nothing to top Brittos at Baga for a good but inexpensive meal. Souza Lobos in Calangute is great too.

I disagree about Brito's.We were in there a few weeks ago and i thought the food was at best average.

I thought Brittos was awful, it was full of flies and I mean :yikes and the food was greasy. I had read so many good reports and yet I didn't get it :que I thought Oceanic and St Anthonys were so much better :tup
Reply
Brito's is ok - pretty average I think. Yes flies everywhere!!!
Souza Lobo's I didnt like at all, food not great and place dirty I thought, will never return there!!!

went to souza lobos once.couldnt get a table on the beach so ate inside.it was like a canteen and was the worst vindaloo we have had and the kingfisher was warm.maybe we just were unlucky that night.

Souza Lobo's I didnt like at all, food not great and place dirty I thought, will never return there!!!


I agree - and yet it gets a good rating in every new edition of "Lonely Planet." They obviously pay to have it listed.
I even wrote to "Lonely Planet" asking them to reconsider it's listing. :que

I have to agree! Can't believe this place always gets a mention in the Rough Guide. My vegetarian meal contained meat :yikes
