Maria Cafe — Restaurant in Goa

Don’t go there! We ordered Lemon Soda Sweet and got Lemon Soda Salty. Which is okay, nobody’s perfect. But then, we asked again after Lemon Soda Sweet and got again Lemon Soda Salty. They just gave me back the same glas. At third time ordering Lemon Soda Sweet it was still Salty, and also there was no more Soda inside. They throwed away half of it, filling it up with Water. In the end I gave up and did not drink it. That was about our drinks…

The food we ordered was better than nothing. The Dosa was too soft and watery. Really disappointing in comparison to all the other beautiful places around. Also it was very small. My husband ordered Fish Tali. Most of the plate was filled with rice, and the King Fish was just super small piece. Like the size of maximum two fingers. In all the other places you get a whole fish or at least, if the fish is too big, a nice piece of it. We eat Thalis in and around Patnem every day since one month and this was by far the worst experience.

Another thing was the attitude of the people there. We were there with our baby, going to sleep in the stroller. The woman, Maria, told us again and again that putting a Pacifier into my baby’s mouth would end up in heart dissease for the Baby. Excuse me?!

Also the men, after bringing me three times a Salty Lemon Soda, said that it would be more healthy for me to drink the Salty Version of it. Excuse me?!

We will...

To avoid. I have read other comments which are positive, but for my part it was disastrous. I got caught on the way while passing by, it was the end of the season (April) it was very hot, I asked for some iddly. The chutney was not fresh, the mango lassi was horrible cut with water, the iddly nothing special but the owner did nothing but boast about it, and tell me every 3 minutes how good it was. . I had a bacterial infection after that... 2 days before my departure for Bombay.. . I've still had severe diarrhea ever since. I bitterly regret going to eat there. I understand that it's hot...but still... A minimum of hygiene especially in Goa... In short.. disgusted and angry. If you are sensitive stomach,...

The first time I came here, they were super sweet. However, we asked if we could check in for few hours as our bus was delayed. They gave us a room. We were 2 girls. We ordered egg biryani as we don't eat meat. The food arrived and in the 1st spoon itself the smell of Fish hit us very bad. When we called the guy present there to Inspect. He was rude enough to tell us, there's no smell here and it is probably coming from your own nose. And Said you have to pay for it. We were very insulted and upset. We couldn't pick a fight as we were the only girls staying there. He came and apologized later and did not charge is for it. But what's said is said. Never visiting this place again and would never recommend...
