Aggie's Cafe — Restaurant in Goa

It would be true to say that most local beach shacks in this area survive on friendly Goan hospitality, a well stocked bar and varied menu but as blessed as I am to just finish a 3 week stay for Christmas and New Year in Goa on drifting along the beach one day I found these gorgeous people and promptly became a very regular fixture as Aggie and all of his team are quite simply part of the paradise of Calangute, Goa and are firmly placed here after 30 years of trading. What they do, they do really well! I felt like an additional part of the family within days.

The chef here is seriously good! Bravo! I can only pay rightful compliments out here on the web for delicious blended spices and flavours of fresh fish, seafood and well balanced Goan curries. The menu is extensive with local specialities and regular favourites and most newly tried dishes I had were personally revisited...

I cannot recommend this place enough as a backdrop to your beach day and hope that as the world returns to normal many loyal and new customers will seek you out making 2022 a year of prosperity. You absolutely deserve to thrive and thankyou all for making my long overdue return to Goa such a super time...you have created a 'must come back and soon' as a...

This is THE shack on Calangute Beach - don’t bother with the rest. We spent a wonderful holiday here over Christmas. Every morning we’d leave our hotel and head to the beach. Aggie is an excellent host. Sun loungers were complimentary and our towels would be set out by the staff every morning in our favourite spot. We would stay all day, dining and drinking and usually spend less than £15 each - including 2 meals and many, many beers.

The food was exceptionally good - Aggie even invited us to the kitchen to see dishes prepared. We had a whole variety of Goan cuisine, the highlights being freshly grilled red snapper, and prawn stuffed papads. But there were truly too many meals to mention. On Christmas Day we had a wonderful seafood platter with mudcrab, squid, pomfret, shark. Really wonderful.

Coming here was the highlight of...

Superb place. Went along day one based on reviews and wasn’t disappointed. Meet people throughout the few days in the area who recommended the place too. Food it’s very flavoursome - we are westerners after local cuisine, not burger and chips, and this was very much up our street. For the price it’s very good value. Many eateries don’t include taxes in the price, they do here so what you see is what you pay. They’re also probably the only shack that doesn’t approach you if you walk by trying to get your business, which is nice but also probably because they regularly have limited or no space. Aggie, Tony, Anita and the rest of the staff are all very very friendly and happy to serve drinks, food and do massage or pedicure etc. Well...
