Best South Indian food, in 4 days of my goa trip finally I had a wonderful tasty South Indian thali there....
Budget friendly.. south indian thali was really good.. fish thali they provided 2 pieces of fish. Liked rasam than sambar.. there was no thali.option near by sagar restaurant.. hence i ended up here.. no regret.. it was good..
The Chinese fried noodle gave me a break from exotic and foreign India. It simply brought me back home. Okay dining experience and fair prices. Can’t ask for anymore.

Thirumalai Restaurant, near the Basilica of Bom Jesus, is a must-visit for delicious and affordable Indian cuisine. Their Chicken Biryani is a standout – flavorful, fragrant, and perfectly cooked, offering great value for money. The cozy ambiance and friendly service make it a great spot to unwind after exploring Old Goa. Highly recommended for a satisfying meal!
Nice hotel for South Indian option and taste is really good. Especially their plate thaali is so good.
We visited yesterday around 1230 for lunch with our small kid. We ordered thali and the manager politely told us that it’s going to take 15 min for thali to be ready. Tired from long travel I asked him for tea. Since it was lunch time he asked whether black tea is ok. Iam a tea drinker so with a little apprehension I asked milk is finished kya? The manger smiled and said one minute. He went out to the market and bought the milk. This gesture plus the amazing taste of food forces me to give the restaurant a 5 star. In short, Great food and a greater attitude towards the customers.
Good place to have south indian foods in Goa. And afternoon meals holds the authentic tamil taste to it. Much recommended ...
