Sea Touch — Restaurant in Goa

Just got back from a holiday in Patnem and had to write a review for this place. We stayed nearby so it was great for spending the day relaxing on the sunbeds, which are free to use if you have a drink. But Do Not miss the food. Really tasty, fresh and authentic. Its at the top quieter end of Patnem so really very chilled. What makes this place though is the owner Suraj and his team. He was so friendly and welcoming. When he found out we were there celebrating my sisters 50th he insisted on doing a special dinner for us, and wow it was special! We had kingfish, tiger prawns, snapper, calamari and various curries. Was the best meal we had all holiday. He and his team also went to extra effort to set a beautiful table on the beach with flowers, lanterns and balloons. He even sang a Hindi version of "happy birthday" which was so sweet! We didn't have a bad meal in Goa, but this place beat them all! Highly...

Wish I was staying in Goa longer, just for this family-run restaurant. It’s exactly what I’d imagined the whole place would be like and I have loved coming here for dinner. Hospitality is completely genuine.

Overall, I much preferred eating here to any of the soulless alternatives and hope other people can enjoy it as...

Update: came a second time and tried the same dish. Mackerel was cleaned properly. And tasty. The fries were better, yet still on the overfried side. The salad is the same. The owner came by and apologized for the last time. Friendly man. Full plate picture is of second time.

Based on the reviews i came here with high expectations. The location on the side of the beach is great. Ordered the mackerel tandoori, seemed like a simple dish. It was served quite fast which pleased me, but it seemed the mackerel's gut was not cleaned properly. Also the fries were overfried. The salad is just a few pieces of veggies cut and put together. The sauce was quite tasty. Overall quite mediocre and...
