Spicy Goa is a
family restaurant and bar nestled in the hustling-bustling by lanes of Patto. This place is a perfect
example of a restaurant that focuses only on its food and not on over the top
decor and ambience settings.
While the place is well known for its Goan Thali, it has a lot
more to offer and you must explore that. They have a decent menu and bring on
table Goan, North Indian and Asian cuisines; their tandoori section especially
deserves a mention.

We opted for Banjara Kebabs and Mutton Galauti Kebabs from the
North Indian section. The Banjara Kebabs were succulent pieces of chicken tikka
marinated in coriander based masala; a bit spicy but delicious. The chicken was
tender and perfectly smoked in the tandoor. The Mutton Galauti, on the other
hand, may not be like the galauti kebab one gets in the northern part of India,
but they were a modified version, more like their own take on the traditional
galauti. These kebabs were also made of minced mutton but their outer covering
was crispy as it was made with egg whites.
From the Goan
section, the Masala King Fish was great. With three large pieces served in one
portion, this in itself was quite a filling dish.
The recheado masala
that they prepare in-house was perfectly balanced in flavours. At some places,
the vinegar comes out very strong, but here the flavours were subtle and
perfect for our liking.
Chicken Spring Rolls
were our choice from the Asian section and they were quite nicely done. Crispy
on the outside with a nice filling inside, these made for a great starter.
For the main course,
the Fish Thali was an obvious choice and we have to say that it surely is worth
your while.
You
must give this place a try if you already haven’t, and we are sure you will not
be disappointed
