Howling Wolves — Restaurant in Goa

We decided to try Howling Wolves after seeing their creatives for Friday being a music night and hearing about them.

Sandeep (behind the bar counter) and Valerie (heading the kitchen team) did not disappoint. The place had a great vibe and the positive energy was there to feel, evidently coming out of these two lovely souls.

The Cocktail offering was very interesting and not what one would commonly find at most places. We ordered the 'Am I black enough for you', yes, that was the name of the drink and the 'The Last Tango.... ', both of which were great and needed to be sipped with caution (just the way I like a late evening cocktail)

For starters, we had a portion of the Stuffed Bakes Mushrooms - delicious, juicy and stuffed with a great mix of spinach and cheese.

Dinner was a Pork Burger for me. I asked Valerie to make a small tweak in my order and she was quick to oblige. My date ordered a Wild Mushroom Risotto which was also delicious.

We were lucky to be there when they were trying some new dishes for their menu - Biryani and Daal Makhani, both of which were so good we were wondering why they were not already on the menu.

The place itself was previously a parking lot along side the beach front has been converted to a beautiful restaurant space. While going to the upper deck, one can't help but notice the care taken to build the place around the existing trees - if you haven't noticed it already, a coconut tree in the middle of the stairs makes it blatantly obvious.

All in all, it was a great evening - good food, great music and gracious hosts.

All the very best Team...

TL;DR: Not just for your belly, but for your heart - Howling Wolves is worth the trip.

The Howling Wolves in Anjuna is nothing short of a hidden gem, where an unforgettable experience awaits anyone who steps in. My friends and I visited on a rock and retro music night, with Noel performing, and we were blown away - not just by the music but by the entire experience.

From the moment you enter, Sandy and Valerie, the couple who run the place, welcome you with open arms and make you feel like family. Their hospitality is so genuine and effortless, it's as if you're dining in their home. This warmth extends to their incredible staff, both on the floor, and in the kitchen. Sadhan and Shalu take care of every guest as if they're the only ones in the restaurant.

Sandy's handcrafted drinks are nothing short of flavor-packed masterpieces, showcasing simple, natural ingredients that somehow create unforgettable flavour combinations. Valerie’s food is equally divine - her veggie croquettes with feta are melt-in-your-mouth perfection, the raw papaya salad is an absolute flavour bomb, and the fresh brownies are some of the best you’ll find in town, gooey and decadent.

The ambience is perfect, especially with the beach just steps away, adding a calm yet lively atmosphere. And of course, Noel's music ties it all together beautifully.

At Howling Wolves, you won't just leave with a full belly; you'll leave with a heart warmed by the love and care that Valerie, Sandy and their team put into every detail. If you’re in Anjuna, this is a place you absolutely...
