SANTA RITA Fast Foods & Cafe (Goan Portuguese Cuisine) — Restaurant in Goa Island

My husband & I ate there just recently. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. We had the -Goan sausage bread- served in an elongated bread similar to a sub..but with a lovely crust. You get a wonderful crunch when you bite into it. (Can't remember the name of the bread) Beef stew- just wonderful Goan stew with elbow pasta, carrots & beans. The flavour was excellent..brought back memories. It was served with the same bread..which was warmed..perfect. Goan sausage empadinhas- would have been better if the pastry was a bit thinner & the sausage filling was more. Fios de Ovos- sweetened tender coconut shreds topped with sweetened egg yolk threads. Very nice...quite sweet (there's quite a bit of sugar).

I would definitely recommend Santa Rita. Even if the place looks empty..please go in.. the food is definitely worth it. The service was excellent. I'm glad we went in. They also do deliveries through...

Santa Rita is a small eatery with tasteful interiors and helpful staff serving delicious goan portuguese fare. Most orders seem to be via Swiggy or Zomato but don't let that deter you from dining in. It is a beautiful space for a small party as they have indoor and outdoor seating.

We tried rissois de camarao, empadinhas, beef and chicken cutlet pao, chicken cafreal, fish cebolada and a portuguese version of a popular spanish tapas dish called gambas al ajillo ( garlic shrimp with crusty bread). We washed it all down with refreshing kokum mint coolers

We finished the meal with Pasteis de Nata and Lucy's Serradura which was amazing and different from the whipped sweetened cream and biscuit topping that is passed off as serradura in most places. Didn't have time to ask the story of Lucy's Serradura....

I don't give reviews as a rule but this one I had to. Visited this very quite and beautifully decorated with natural plants outside n inside the well lit n nicely done interiors. Santa Rita Cafe in Taleigao We ordered 1 each chicken, beef samosas, prawn ressois, beef croquettes, all were tasty goan cusine and were served piping hot. Then we had the pork and chicken costeletas also served piping hot in the long hot dog type of goan bread, very tasty, even though I would have liked a little more marinade on my costelata.

The side salad was very delicately shredded and a surprise because most often one is served a roughly chopped one. Thy have an extensive menu.

Last but not the least the boy serving us was very polite and the service was...
