I and my wife have been watching your videos for almost 3-4 months and were surprised to see so many hotels serving authentic Goan seafood which we have missed during our many visits to Goa.
TH-cam recommended your channel and we are absolutely thrilled to eat you all trying local goan food and promoting authentic goan cuisine. Its always lovely to see Maria eat her vegetables with gusto and Lesley eat with her hands at almost all joints. No pretenses just honest and pure reviews of good food.
Hey ... I just love the simplicity of your video .. ❤ I miss Goa now that I am in settled abroad but videos like yours always reminds me of Good Times ❤ Wish you loads of success
Very truly said.... These small cute eateries really go out of the way to make really yummy food 😋👌thank you Lesley for making us aware of these small wonders .....😊
Hi Lesley, so glad you went to Pakiza! Its really one of the best value for money and taste places left in Fontainhas. The thali is as good as you saw, but also as friend Viola noted, the basic rice and chapati plates are very good too. I think its basically a rice/chapati plate place, and these are getting rarer. You can have just plain onion gravy with rice or chapati and its really good and filling, especially if you add an egg to it. Also, how many places have you come across mostly run by women?
Lesley this is not in Fontainhas but the place is called Sant Tome. Thanks once again for the treasure hunts you both introduce us all to🙏Dev borem korum
You may not be blessed with the weather, but you totally are blessed with fresh fish of all sorts. We on the other hand have to buy our fish in the chinese market which is who knows how old or the Supermarkets which charges an arm and a leg. A big crab will set you back at $45 to $55. Just one. Or a bag of shrimp will cost $19.99 for 300 grams. We have to eat so we buy it. If I were in Goa, I would eat only sea food.. All day every day, and home made Goan sweets of all sorts. That's my dream.
Hi lesley ... saw you today while you were turning towards powai from thane .. by the time I would have waved towards you , you turned right towards powai ... thank you for an amazing content always . God bless you .. keep it up ... may b next time if we cross paths I'll say hi 😊
Hi Lesley enjoyed watching your episode of Dados restaurant you were with lot of your friends it was recorded in December 2023 Amazing to see jaya is vegetarian even I am vegetarian but I eat eggs I stopped eating non veg in 1986 No reason I like the way you describe your food and give your true and honest opinion Which is very good
Hey Lesley ! Your video cropped up on my feed. Enjoyed watching 3 of them....but I wish you wouldn't waste so much. You seem to have a small appetite. Food is precious.
This place i have been visiting since the 90s. Ate their chicken thali, sardine and bangdo thali. Small and very tasty meals. The owner was friendly also very pocket friendly. Lots of office going people come here every afternoon
Ma'ams, how well both of you made a nice video visit of your lunches at Pakiza.! The portions look fairly large and can easily be shared by my wife and I. But was wondering if the Pakiza management would allow it by giving an extra empty plate and a spoon ? Hope so. Look forward to more such vlogs of Leslie in Goa. Thanks and all the best. 🙏
I have watched all your videos but never commented on the page…we see always happy faces…when i saw this video i remember there is Bombil restaurent near by….pl visit and make video Thanks
We tried to go but there was not an inch of parking anywhere nearby and even far away. Also people in the area were very nasty, shouting at us in Hindi. We from Salcete are shocked to see condition of Baga
This is a nice little family restaurant tucked away from the hassle and bussle of the city. If we are to preserve our culture we need to promote and support all these small Goan family restaurants. And the prices are very reasonable for all the different dishes one gets in a Thali, that is a lot of work to prepare all those dishes. I just am mystified how these small restaurants can made a profit? I am sure it is a struggle but they don't have another choice. Since they are in a cul de sac, why don't they put some table and chairs for folk to eat outside? Dress it up with plants so that it looks appealing to the city to allow it. Anyway, it is just a suggestion.
You sounded so funny, when you mentioned, "enter the places where you see Goans eating" in reference to low prices. Thx for letting me know where I can gulp on some tasty biryani, as Prawn, beef and mutton Biryani is like oxygen for the Goans in karachi.
@lesleyingoa. Yeah there are few restaurants who serve good prawn biryani and one of them is Biryani of the seas and Barbq tonite in karachi. But not better than what my wife cooks, she cooks the best Prawn biryani and Sorpetal. Looking fwd to inivite you for home cooked Prawn biryani when we visit Goa for the expostion by the end of November at Maria's cousin's home at Thivim. God bless you.
If that's a full amount I dare to see what a half is.... don't see many meat pieces in the dish... don't think it's good value for money. On the other hand the prawns tali looks good!!!
@lesleyingoa oh OK so the amount on the plate is just the half? That's pretty good. Love the honest reviews! Thanks for the video showcase. God bless you both.
Great new restaurant
Will visit when in goa nxt time

Good point, Vikram, I will make a playlist just for women owned and run eateries in Goa
Doc, what's actually is a rice / chappati plate?
Lesley this is not in Fontainhas but the place is called Sant Tome. Thanks once again for the treasure hunts you both introduce us all to🙏Dev borem korum
Will try on my next trip to Goa... Thankz for sharing Lesley n Maria...

Which is very good
Thank you for your kind words, we really appreciate it

Hey Lesley ! Your video cropped up on my feed. Enjoyed watching 3 of them....but I wish you wouldn't waste so much. You seem to have a small appetite. Food is precious.
Hi. We do not waste any food at all. If we can't finish, we take it home
@@lesleyingoa That is reassuring, indeed ! I have subscribed🙂
Hi ..Try out in Bombil ...just opposite to kala Academy...beside Military Hospital.....Panjim
We tried and didn’t like it
This place i have been visiting since the 90s. Ate their chicken thali, sardine and bangdo thali. Small and very tasty meals. The owner was friendly also very pocket friendly. Lots of office going people come here every afternoon
Thanks for sharing
Was there much meat in the biriani ?
Yes
Ma'ams, how well both of you made a nice video visit of your lunches at Pakiza.! The portions look fairly large and can easily be shared by my wife and I. But was wondering if the Pakiza management would allow it by giving an extra empty plate and a spoon ? Hope so. Look forward to more such vlogs of Leslie in Goa. Thanks and all the best. 🙏
Doubt that the management will allow sharing. It's a small place with cheap prices and generous servings. Thanks for your kind comment
Most of goan restaurant gives you extra plate if asked, but biryani quantity is very less in pakiza
I have watched all your videos but never commented on the page…we see always happy faces…when i saw this video i remember there is Bombil restaurent near by….pl visit and make video
Thanks
Yes we will be visiting Bombil
Aago Maria, pls eat with ur hands when u eat a thali, 😂just see Lesley relishing her thali 👌👌🙏Thanks dears for one more find.
Please go to Dhananjay eatery in North Goa near Baga or candolim
We tried to go but there was not an inch of parking anywhere nearby and even far away. Also people in the area were very nasty, shouting at us in Hindi. We from Salcete are shocked to see condition of Baga
U should try SMITA'S LAKE VIEW RESTAURANT & BAR
Yes we have before we launched our channel. Will go back sometime with camera
Visit dols fast food Benaulim 😊

That’s our hope, to give visibility to the small and authentic Goan eateries
@@lesleyingoa you guys are doing a fantastic job! Keep it up!
Kindly review purely vegetarian restaurant for people like us
Prawns Thali was good n Cheap rate
You sounded so funny, when you mentioned, "enter the places where you see Goans eating" in reference to low prices. Thx for letting me know where I can gulp on some tasty biryani, as Prawn, beef and mutton Biryani is like oxygen for the Goans in karachi.
Ah, how is the prawn biryani in Karachi? Here I would say it's okay okay. Not yet had a great one. But prawn pulao here is superb
@lesleyingoa. Yeah there are few restaurants who serve good prawn biryani and one of them is Biryani of the seas and Barbq tonite in karachi. But not better than what my wife cooks, she cooks the best Prawn biryani and Sorpetal.

Trying our best. Our channel has become bigger than us. Thanks for your kind comment
👋 Hi please visit Kokum curry in panjim near Hindu pharmacy. You will enjoy the food definitely 💯
Sure 😊
Eat your veggies, Lesley :)
Haha okay 😂
Visit labasa goa in chinchinim for some lip smacking burgers and wings
That prawn thali would cost anywhere close to 7$ elsewhere
Exactly
It too much walk in that lane
But walking is all the fun in Fontainhas!
I hv a problem whilst walking. Give option of nearby to city.
Where do u get best xacuti
If that's a full amount I dare to see what a half is.... don't see many meat pieces in the dish... don't think it's good value for money. On the other hand the prawns tali looks good!!!
No, that’s not the full amount of biryani. Only half. Rest she packed
@lesleyingoa oh OK so the amount on the plate is just the half? That's pretty good. Love the honest reviews! Thanks for the video showcase. God bless you both.
At the moment I have started watching your episode of Tanvi Bar at Alto Bentim May 2024
