Agree Debgreg - Soumyens beats I-95 everytime for me. I-95 feels a bit pretentious and "Mastercheffy" - style over substance.

Starlight sounds interesting - where is it? Bomra's also looks worth investigating.

Starlight is in Arpora the last restaurant on your right as you come out of the village going towards saturday night market, just past all spice and saffron, got to admit i like it in there bit basic but good food and cheap

Bomras is excellent and it's been one of our favourites since it opened. :tup

They don't have a lot of tables and it can be noisy late at night when the "Butter" night club starts up. :duh

Just a quick question, are Ram's prices for drinks the same as last year?
For us it was as cheap to have a couple of beers at the carvery as it was to buy them at Newtons.

Hi,

We ate at Rams's (The Carvery) a couple of times in November - he does his own version of Baileys, it was very good and very fairly priced considering the cost of the real stuff in Goa. 12 people in our group and only one complaint, not really a complaint, she didn't like the prawns served with the heads etc.. still attached.

We met him when he had his first bar, the Cactus Shepherds Pie, on the way into Calangute.

He still does a nice Shepherds Pie by the way.

Have heard Soumyens kitchen mentioned many times over the last few years.

We have never stumbled across it and would lie to give it a try, can anyone give me rough directions.

Thanks

We fly on the 18th Jan and I am getting my list together, we missed a year so good to get some up to date recommendations. :tup

Chilly, thanks, but still unsure, not having ever come across After 7 either , I am sure I should know them both and probably will when I see them :think .

Rarely walked to Candolim from Calangute and usually walk the beach part way as I get too hot on the streets

We are staying at the Sunset and hope to get to the meets so will ask for directions then :cheers

Thanks again

Your directions are spot on, from Calangute its a taxi ride anyway and they all should know where it is. Just got back and did both after 7 and Soulimans. After 7 better venue but food was better at soulimans, both are a treat. I was very impressed with over the flames, the entertainment on Thursdays is very good.
