Rumi

The place gives off a great vibe and feels very authentic. One of the hidden gems only a few know about! The food is tasty and affordable and there's are good options in the menu! This place has a calm and soothing environment and beautiful Portuguese architecture surrounding it. Try this place out if you can!

If you're looking for someplace calm and serene to hang out which also comes with the added element of good savoury food, Rumi is the go to place. Everything from the dimmed out lights to the wooden tabletops to the canopy overhead stirs a familiar feeling within. The service is praiseworthy. All in all, an amazing experience.

This is a hangout joint in Taligao that's for the young "hip" crowd. The ambiance is good and the food good. They do have a stage which i assume is for live music performances or events. There is plenty of parking space also which is a bonus. The service is quick and the food is tasty though a bit pricey for the quantity but overall a good place to hangout with friends over a couple of drinks.

Was there yesterday at the Pop Up by Chef Ryan Semelhago. The menu was absolutely exciting ,fresh and new . Chef Ryan created beautifully thought out elements to his menu from the grills served with a shot of Cold Cucumber soup, a fresh mango salsa and a beet relish along with accompanying sauces in a precise and painstaking way. The Goan prawn curry was the best ive ever had and trust me, being a Goan, i've had a number of great curries and this one tops my list. It had loads of Prawns, lady fingers and bimbli in it . The music was a little patchy in the begining but it gained a flow after a patchy start. The second set was brilliant. There is a fly issue, but again this is Goa and with the open air place as it is, there's not much one can do other than just keep the place clean, which it is. That being said i believe that other than chemical and electric repellents there is no other solution. Surprising to see a review from @Loui_a who obviously had his review completely messed up or must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Should have left the minute he saW the flies. Im sure he was not trapped or tied up to his seat . The prices he said are too high for the portions . End of month does that to some as funds dry up . Should have stayed home and had half a sandwich. Some people are just funny. I just had to say this as it was my first time there and me an my buddy from Canada, who also happens to be from the Food business thought it was a brilliant gig.
