I'm going in February. Worked hard all this year, can't wait to have a nice relaxing holiday on the beach.

Last year we spent allot of time at the Bistro Shack on Baga beach. I have a feeling its not there this year as they are building a Hotel in its place. Can anyone confirm this?

As first timers we have just returned from Goa and although our rep recommended changing shacks regularly we really liked Silver Sands on Baga (next to Oceanic). We went there a lot and Naresh is a really friendly member of their staff. We absolutely hated Calangute beach !. :D

welcome to HT! I hope you had a good holiday. If you are thinking of returning you might want to look to the south. A bit quieter!

Hi Mardon the bistro shack is still there we have used it for three years now we were at it within the last few weeks we took the boys who work in it over a few football shirts and they were so happy I have a photo of the lads at the shack I will add it to the galleries and you can let me know if it is the same staff as you know ............colleen

Phew! Good to know the Bistro is still there! As i know they were building a hotel there last year. We have used the Bistro for the last 6 years. The Food is brilliant, and Seshi and Ganesh are "my little Boys"! Even though they are dads themselves now. Looking forward to being there in 2 weeks. At last!

I know one of the lads name It was pronounced Ga-nesh. He owned a little shop attached to the shack. His sister owned another shop near the left hand entrance to Baga beach.

Nice one glad there still there. They were worried about loosing the place. Do you know if the building work is noisy?

We ate there everyday for the first 4 days and had no problems what so ever. It wasn't until we ate else where that I got the dreaded DB! :D
Cant stress how excited I am about going back. Showing my friends the places I discovered as well as exploring new places! LOVE GOA! :oops: got a little carried away then :P

Our fav shack is Radha Shack on Candolim beach (go down road next to health centre) and our family have been going for roughly 8 years. We even had our wedding blessing evening do there. Fantastic food and more friendly people you couldn't find. Go out of their way to help and it's more like going back to visit family than anything else. BBQ's are fantastic!!

Hi Vodkasundae

We've been going to Radhas shack for the past five years, everyones lovely, especially veejay. Sid, the shack chef, set his own shack up last year (Sioras paradise), so we split last year visiting the two of them

Raj has moved to Scotland after marrying his girlfriend, he was going to ask Sid to run his shack for him as well, so when we go back in January, still wont be able to choose between them! :lol:

Hi nanette447. Got back start of December and Raj has got Sunnil and Sairaj (hope spelt both ok!) running things for him. All is great and the lads have sorted a flushing loo for the first year! :o Veejay is doing well and should have a new baby by now (due start of Dec). Lucas is now chef and the food is as good as ever.

Sid still has Sioras Paradise, was opening a restaurant on the 4th December too - let me know if you go.

Raj is doing good in Scotland, he has learnt to drive (without overtaking 3 on a bend with a truck coming towards him!!) :rofl

The Buddha shack the guys are great and the owner sylvester was married to a lady from our home town of liverpool it was very strange when he was naming pubs by where we live. Everything was great there the food the drinks the atmosphere, it is about 2-3 shacks down from the fishermans who is actually his brother if your coming off the road turn towards the beach at the church in the middle of the road (st Anthonys) and follow it to the beach you won't be dissapointed .
