Prana Mandrem — Restaurant in Goa

Prana Café, Mandrem: A Culinary Gem by the Beach

Having visited Prana Café more than seven times over the past six months, it's safe to say that this place holds a special place in our hearts. Nestled right in front of the beautiful Mandrem beach, Prana Café offers not only breathtaking ocean views but an equally remarkable culinary experience. The vibe here is effortlessly cool—laid-back, with great music playing in the background, and an atmosphere that perfectly complements the scenic surroundings. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease, as though you've stepped into a beachside sanctuary.

The real highlight, though, is the food. Chef Valentine is an absolute star. His warm and positive energy is reflected in every dish he creates. He takes the time to interact with guests, making everyone feel welcome, and it’s clear that he pours his heart into each plate. Every time we visit, we leave amazed at how they consistently achieve such perfection in every dish.

We’ve tried a variety of dishes, and each one has been outstanding. Here are some of our favorites:

Hummus Fish: A unique blend of flavors that balances perfectly. The fish was fresh and tender, with a hint of Mediterranean flair from the hummus. Mediterranean Bowl: An explosion of vibrant, wholesome ingredients. This bowl is not only healthy but also packed with flavors that left us craving more. Pesto Pasta: Rich, creamy, and bursting with fresh basil flavors. It’s comfort food at its finest, with a perfect balance of texture and taste. Sri Lankan Curry: A fragrant, soul-warming dish with just the right amount of spice. The curry was so well-balanced, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Fish Tacos: Fresh, zesty, and absolutely delicious! The tacos were a true highlight, offering a delightful blend of textures and flavors that left us wanting more.

It’s honestly hard to believe how every single dish here is prepared with such precision and perfection. Chef Valentine has a true gift for elevating simple ingredients into mind-blowing dishes.

Whether you’re visiting for a leisurely meal, or just want to chill by the beach with some good food and great vibes, Prana Café is the place to be. It’s a perfect spot to relax, enjoy incredible dishes, and soak in the magical atmosphere of Mandrem.

We can’t recommend Prana Café enough, and we’re sure we’ll be back...

I went for dinner with 3 friends. We were seated quite close to the D.J. booth and it was quite noisy - this is relevant to the problem. After a long wait the waiter took our order. When our food was brought over he brought me the wrong meal. I pointed out it was not what I ordered - not a big deal, I could see he may have not been able to hear because of the noise. However, instead of trying to fix the error he started shouting at me, saying I was wrong and I had ordered the other dish. I repeated that was not correct, but he kept on shouting at me whilst I was seated with my friends. He came back to shout at me 3 times, and was very aggressive. I was upset and checked with my friends as I started to question if I had made a mistake and he was so angry. They confirmed it was not my mistake. In end he went away to order the original dish I had requested. I ended up being served my dinner after all my friends had eaten, and I was quite upset at being shouted at so much so for me the meal was ruined. My friend spoke to him about how rude he had been and he just said 'it's ok' in reference to having to change the dinners, not understanding that she was saying it's NOT ok to shout at customers and be so dismissive and rude. Apparently when the bill came he was then apologetic and did not charge me for the one beer I drank, but I was at the restroom at this point so did not receive an apology. The atmosphere of the night was spoilt, the meal was ruined and I was very unhappy...
