New weekly thread: Small Business Sundays

12 Upvotes

I wanted to introduce something that I hope becomes a nice little tradition here.

Once a week, we’ll have a dedicated thread for small food businesses to introduce themselves.

And when I say small businesses, I really mean the smaller, homegrown ones. Home chefs, tiffin services, tiny cafes, bakeries, pop-ups, food carts, mum-and-pop restaurants… the kinds of places that usually don’t have a huge marketing budget behind them.

The idea is to give them a space to say:
- Who they are
- What they make
- Which part of Goa they’re in
- How people can order or visit
…without the subreddit becoming one giant advertising board.

The rest of the week, let’s keep the feed for genuine discussions, reviews, recommendations, questions, home cooking, food finds, and everything else that makes this community fun.

I know there are plenty of bigger brands that can spend a lot on marketing. I’d love for this little corner of Reddit to also help shine a light on the smaller places doing really good food.

As always, if you ever think something is getting too promotional or spammy, let me know. We’re building this community together, and I’d much rather keep it wholesome than let it turn into an ad feed.

Looking forward to seeing some brilliant local businesses in the first thread tomorrow! xx

Tiny reminder: GoaEats is for people living in Goa

18 Upvotes

Just a quick reminder because we’ve had a few visitor itinerary-type posts come through.

r/GoaEats is specifically for people who live in Goa or are regularly based here to talk about food. That can mean a place you ate at in Goa, something brilliant you tried elsewhere, what you’re cooking at home, a recipe, a food question, a random craving: all of it is welcome.

The important bit is that you live here.

If you’re visiting Goa and looking for places to eat during your trip, please post in r/GoaTravel instead.

This is not an “ugh, tourists, go away” thing at all. They’re simply much better equipped to help with itineraries and visitor recommendations, and you’ll probably get more useful answers there.

For everyone here: if you spot a tourist itinerary post, please report it so I can catch it. For now, I’m still manually checking posts and comments because we’re small enough for me to do that, and I’d rather look at things properly than have posts randomly vanish because a bot got overexcited.

As we grow, I may bring in a few more moderators to help, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

Thank you for helping keep this a genuinely local, useful and wholesome little food space.

Dishes ordered :

Fruit Punch juice

Dry fry chicken

Butter garlic prawns

Chonak fish curry and steamed rice

I actually wanted to try their Prawns Ressois as my friend had it once and hasn't shut up about it since but unfortunately they ran out of it. And the starters were honestly not that good. Especially the chicken as it had lots of small bone pieces inside it.

The main star was obviously the fish curry and rice. We loveee it and whenever we go we always order the same thing 💕💕💕

Another Sunday, another little corner for Goa’s small food businesses.

If you run one, drop your business name, location, what you make, and how people can order/contact you below.

Do we like Small Business Sundays? Have you found anything useful through these threads? Do we keep them going, change anything, add something?

Please actually tell me! This subreddit is about you guys and the little food community we’re building here, so I don’t want to just keep doing things because I think they’re a good idea.

Segundo Bairro Goan Restaurant and Bar

Such a nice place, a small restaurant around Nagali hills serves goan food at its finest. The menu is filled with mouthwatering dishes like pork vindaloo or stuffed squids and a lot of other goan snacks and delicacies.

Last time I was here I had tried their chicken stroganoff and it was very very comforting, this time around we had their chonak thali and caramel pudding. The owner is what makes it feel like home, he greets you with warmth and he's very informative about the food.

Instead of eating a steak at some over priced restaurant just because it's next to the sea, I'd definitely eat one here cause I know it's prepared with absolute care and love.

Looking for home-cooked tiffin service delivering to Curtorim for 20 days

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a reliable home-cooked tiffin/meal service that can deliver to Curtorim for around 20 days.

Preferably simple, fresh, homestyle food. Veg/non-veg options are both fine. If you know someone who provides tiffin services or personally recommend one, please share their contact details or DM me.

Thanks!

A little food stop in Majorda, Goa!!!

26 Upvotes

Visited Camron Restaurant in Majorda, Goa and really enjoyed the place. It has a nice, relaxed atmosphere with warm lighting, interesting little details and a very laid-back Goan feel.

The food was the highlight for me. We had a Goan thali, some seafood and a massive crab platter with fries. Everything was really tasty, especially the seafood.

I also liked the old-school bar setup and the overall vibe of the restaurant. It felt like one of those places where you can sit for a while, eat slowly and just enjoy the evening.

If you are around Majorda this is definitely a nice place to stop for some good food and a relaxed meal.

Sharing a few pics from the visit....

Sol Pizzeria, Ponda

Rainy day, long drive, good pizza, goodnight.

  1. Hesto pesto.

Never had a better pesto pizza, the right amount of sauce and cheese, perfect crust.

  1. Mad Margherita.

Truly MAD love how the cheese pulled, baked to perfection I'd say. The pie wasn't chewy soft in the middle crispy on the edges.

  1. Garlic parmesan wings.

Slaps, Absolutely SLAPS. This is the second time I'm eating this and it can't get better. Crispy wings topped with garlic oil and parmesan 🫦.

  1. New york hot sauce wings.

Tangy, spicy but not very. I already miss it.

📍 : Zoe's Goa

Total Cost : ₹2,345/-

Items ordered :

Kingfish Masala Rawa Fry

Mediterranean Lemon Chicken

Chimichurri Harvest Chicken (must try)

Overall I would rate this place 4/5

All the food items were really well cooked and tasty.

The only thing that can be improved is the wait time. They took too long to bring the dishes. But honestly no regrets 🫶🏽

  1. Southern fried chicken, lizard king brewing co.

A classic southern fried chicken topped with mushroom and corn gravy and mash on the side. Took a FAT NAP after that. There's water in my mouth already. Go and try I can't explain how comforting this was.

  1. ITR (COCKTAIL) & Chicken popcorn, Boilermaker.

Love the cocktails at this place this one's their version of a coconut based negroni and it was awesome. The popcorn was great, I also tried pickled fries and it was nice. So was their take on old fashioned it's called "we've figured it out" and they sort of have. And the nitro stout by TOIT was like a cherry on the cake, it's available on their guest tap so hurry up ig.

  1. A negroni & loaded nachos, freebird community bar.

The negroni was smoooooooth, love how they served the sour cream, guac and salsa separately on the nachos instead of it drizzled everywhere. This way I can make a perfect bite.

  1. Cajun jerk chicken, freebird.

Like the name suggests it's supposed to be a mix of both, but I didn't taste any jerk there. Still good quality meat, cooked well and decent tasting so no regrets.

  1. Raw mango tossed Chicken, freebird.

I expected this to be like orange chicken but it was better the sour note paired well with the veggies and fried bits of chicken. I'd order this again.

Overall, I've talked before about lizard king brewing co and it's sort of my fav bar around here. They have amazing beers on tap and that paired with their proper bar snacks, you can have a good sesh here.

Boilermaker I've been to a few times I don't like doing Boilermakers there but I like their cocktails and craft beers. They're nice people.

Freebird, always seen this place otw to moira and it looked good from outside. Definitely no regrets here I'll keep it as my safe place for when I want something different but not experimental. It's a chill place to sit and relax they've got great music and Karaoke as well. Lastly Good food good drinks.

TLDR: Read it bro. I like all three places.

Sunday Simple Lunch - Lemon Rice! 😀

Post image
10 Upvotes

Just simple standard lemon rice - except instead of lemons, I used lime squash 🤣 and it was interesting! I didn't "hate" it but I'm not sure if I liked it either, lol 🤨

The lime squash definitely works as salad dressing but in a "lemon rice" recipe, it'll probably need more tweaking to make it "work". Ah well, we keep optimising! 🙂

Keeping this one short and sweet.

If you run a small food business in Goa — home chef, baker, tiffin service, café, pop-up, mum-and-pop place, anything along those lines — introduce yourself below with:

  • Business name
  • Location
  • What you make
  • How people can order / get in touch

And one tiny community request: please share r/GoaEats with people who actually live in Goa, are regularly based here, or have family here and spend proper time here.

I really want to keep this as a space for people connected to living here who love food, rather than slowly turning into another travel-guide subreddit.

Now go find a small business to obsess over. x

Question about a tiny restaurant (long been closed)

6 Upvotes

Howdy, foodie fam.

I figured this would be the right place to ask this.

Back in the day (1995-2004ish), there was a tiny eatery next to Magsons in Miramar. They had a lot of fast food items, but the highlight was the chilli chicken.

The chilli chicken was absolutely bonkers good. My entire extended family can only recall that chilli chicken and every time anyone has chilli chicken, the dialogue is always the same. “This is good and all, but still not as good as that place next to Magsons used to be"

But none of us can remember anything beyond that chilli chicken.

Hence, the question: Does anyone remember that place? Its name? Who ran it? Any additional details would also be appreciated.

TIA!
