Ashok Restaurant (not Ashok Bar & Resturant) — Restaurant in Goa

This place is a tiny, local bar with Uncles sipping beer over the newspaper at noon hours and I was literally the only female company they've got in a couple of days, I could tell by the looks!! #anythingforgoodfood

Recommend this to anyone who wants to visit this place for the food. Easily one of the best mutton dishes I have...

Whenever people ask me where to have authentic Goan food this is the kind of place I would like to suggest as it gives you a proper local Goan Tavern feel. A place where from Goa's ex CM to Rohit Shetty has visited for their famous chicken xacuti. In a world where people have elaborated continental menu this place serves only 2 dishes : Chicken Xacuti and mutton xacuti which are the perfect dishes you'd like to have...
