Greenberry Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Goa

Thought I’d give myself a change from the norm and as I’d walked past Greenberry so often en route to many bars, cafes and restaurants to the southern end of the Candolim Beach Road, I made an impromptu decision to pop in for dinner.

The greeting and service received was excellent, I was given a nice table, the ambience was fine although it was very quiet when I first arrived, selecting a classic prawn cocktail to start and the grilled red snapper on potato cake and parsley sauce for my main.

The starter was disappointing, it was very small and the prawns were set in a bright saffron coloured sauce (I wouldn’t call it Marie-Rose) and were very hard, tough and tasteless. But I was hungry and I ate it all.

I’d asked for my main NOT to come out simultaneously with my starter plate being taken away, so many restaurants do that in Goa and it’s infuriating. After 10-15 minutes I was asked if I was ready for my main course, a nice touch I thought. When I received my main it was obvious what they’d done, plated it up 10-15 minutes early “sans Goa” and stuck it under a hot grill. Ok I like my food served super hot (temperature wise) and it was indeed that 💯 🔥 but as a result although the potato was superb, it had been protected by the fillet of red snapper that sat on top of it and as a result, was dry as a bone. The sauce also had a thin crust too, like drying lava. The taste I have to say was good, but I suspect many diners would have sent it straight back.

Notably, I also ordered a Kingfisher Ultra, a bottle of water and a Mojito (ended up with two as between 6-9pm it’s buy one get one free on identical cocktails) and all told my bill was still only 1300 INR which when you think about it, is great value.

The food itself though was slightly disappointing, the main course in particular, totally unnecessarily so. Sone small tweaks (fresher prawns, not frozen defrosted ones) and a bit of planning to accommodate my request for a 10-15 minute break between courses) was all...

Went here for breakfast. Ordered veg sandwich, cheese tomato sandwich and ham and cheese omelette. Also had flavoured lassi and warm apple pie. Everything was too underwhelming. Veg sandwiches are not grilled and bland. Omelette also just had hint of ham pieces. Lassi was too sweet. Apple pie was bad. Saw positive reviews and went here but doesn’t apply to the things we had here...

Called for the first time ( have walked past many times and just didn’t call…. Will not make that mistake again) Service very good lovely and polite and attentive without hovering. Food excellent My husband had beef in red wine I had lemon fish with prawns and butter sauce beautiful We shared sticky toffee pudding excellent They have a menu and a specials board Highly...
