- Where will you get a fish thali which has fried leppo, tarle, vellio and prawns, besides mackerel curry, teesrio and prawns kismur, all for less than Rs 200 in Colva-Benaulim? At the family-run Little Banana restaurant!
Little Banana restaurant
Next to Menino Jesus chapel, Dablim-Cavelossim Road, Vanelim, Colva, Salcete, South Goa
Contact: 9822217973; open all days; closed for siesta
Little Banana Google Maps location: goo.gl/maps/5v...
Little Banana is a 2-minute drive from Benaulim’s Maria Hall junction, past the Dando ground and just after the Sernabatim road. From Colva church,
Little Banana is a 5 minute drive along the Dabolim-Cavelossim road, via Colva Police Station, Borkar supermarket and the Chapel of Menin Jezu.
We have visited the 7-year-old Little Banana before. But we are back here today as vloggers, on the recommendation of our viewer Shiju Mathew.
There is no printed menu at Little Banana. The day’s menu is based on the fresh catch of the day. On the day we went, there was tarle (sardines), vellio (anchovies/silver fish), bombil (Bombay duck), kingfish (visvon) and, to Maria’s delight, lepo (sole fish), besides prawns and squids.
Francisco Fernandes runs Little Banana along with his wife and mother. Besides Goan fish specialities, the Fernandes’ family also makes authentic Goan pork, beef and chicken dishes, like sorpotel and asado, which we will show you later, on some evening.
Maria is having lepo thali (Rs 120), I am having the mixed fish thali (Rs 180), and Roma is having the special prawns thali (Rs 250).
Mixed fish thali items: fish curry, spinach bhaji, chonnem bhaji, teesrio, mackerel fish curry, banana in custard, sal kari, kismur, pickle, rice and this is lepo plus tarle, plus vellio, plus prawns.
Maria liked the bhaji and the crispy fried lepo fish. Roma liked everything, from the prawn to the banana in custard.
Little Banana is a great option for a cheap, tasty and filling meal in the Colva-Benaulim-Sernabatim stretch.

.... But still good luck to them, francisco is a good man indeed and wish the guy serving you can be polite to all customs as he has been to you .....
Maria finally enjoyed some crispy lepo and of course the bhaji 😋 The food looked yum and that too at a very reasonable price and especially the mixed fish thali, something unique. Thank you for the video 😊🙏🏽

Definitely. Star is already on our list. Thank you for your kind comment

Mixed fish🐠🐋🐟 Thali was good. Please come to Anantashram Restaurant in Vasco-Da-Gama to eat Special Sravan Thali. Anantashram restaurant special Sravan Thali is complete Goan Saraswat Thali
We will come to Anantashram asap next week
Visit Anantashram restaurant after Vasco Saptaah fair is over. Bcoz parking car is biggest problem during Vasco saptaah ferry
Hi Lesley, please try food at Sea men's Nest Assolna . Btw I see you posting only fish thalis ,do try some Goan specialties like" sorpotel" "sanna" "asad" etc.
Hi, fish is my favourite, also the items you have mentioned is our home food. We hardly eat these outside because we prefer our home cooked dishes, whereas our fish cooking skills are no match for the great chefs in the restaurants we cover. So you will find asado etc more as recipes on our channel, and only once in a way in restaurant reviews th-cam.com/video/R_3OQ7YjvnI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=LesleyinGoa
Hete in SA we call it bhaji....all types green leafy herbs. Fresh
Here in Goa also we call leafy greens bhaji

Plz show/cover some veg if not veganThali in Goa too.
Hi, most of the restaurants in this playlist have Goan veg thalis. Goa is not big on dairy products in its cooking so most of these are vegan also: th-cam.com/play/PLIZhqq3IQZfFEi656jGuPGOQjMGz7I64B.html&si=PL1PFABXsT-35O7D

Thank you for your kind concern
The lunch we had on the 22st, Wednesdays, was a total wash out....literally. The vegetable, curry and tisreos were like as if they had run out of food, so they added water. Even the Kolum was disgraceful. Never again.
Shocking
