Shree Khodiyar Kathiyawadi Dhaba — Restaurant in Goa

Well we had come here for late lunch a few days back and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. The food here is so of perfect taste and also the options of all various types of chutneys,pickles are way too awesome.

Coming to the main point of being honest here. A friend of mine misplaced his ring which was more of an emotional value rather than monetary terms. For over 12 hours we did not find his ring and in our wildest of dreams did not think that it might have got misplaced here. Next morning we called on the number which is on their Google profile and we just asked them to check if they have found such ring. The manager/person attending the call said that the staff would come by 11:30 am and he would revert us back around that time. All hopes had been lost and we had almost given up on the ring. To our surprise we got a call and we heard "One of a staff member has found a ring,please do come with the pictures and verify it and you can take it,provided if it's the same"

The person who found it ,his name is Gopal but is foundly called "monu" is the restaurant.

Such honesty is hardly seen these days and I would sincerely like to thank him and the management for being such a gem, specially when we know that everyone these days is looking for a quick buck.

PS: I am not just reviewing this just because we were able to find out lost valuable item but I genuinely wanted to thank them for the superb hospitality which is very rare these days.

And also I do criticize the places which...

I had visited Khodiyar Kathiyawadi Restaurant back in 2020, and at that time, it was the best Gujarati/Kathiyawadi restaurant in Goa. The food was delicious, the hygiene was excellent, and the service was warm and welcoming. I left with such a positive impression that I eagerly recommended it to many others.

Unfortunately, my recent visit was a complete letdown. The food quality has drastically deteriorated; the sabji was extremely oily and didn’t feel healthy at all. What shocked me even more was the poor hygiene – achar (pickle) dabba was clearly not cleaned, and I even found an insect in the patta gobi salad plate. This was absolutely unacceptable and left me questioning the standards of the restaurant.

The service was equally disappointing. We were seated at the 1st number table near the entry door, which was already a busy spot. As more people arrived, someone was allowed to sit at our table on an empty seat without even asking us (me and my wife). When we raised this issue with the staff, they completely ignored our concerns, making the entire experience uncomfortable and frustrating.

It’s disheartening to see how this once-great restaurant has declined so much despite its growing popularity. I truly hope the management takes these issues seriously and works to bring back the quality and standards they...

If you’re a fan of Kathiyawadi cuisine or looking for vegetarian food on a busy road like Calangute or Baga Main Road, this restaurant is a great option. You’ll find many Gujarati families enjoying their meals here. We were a group of six and went for lunch. We tried the rice papad dish, which was delicious. They also served a variety of pickles and salads with food, dal khichadi, and BAIGAN KA BHARTA My favourite. The food was good overall, though there was a slight issue with hygiene, as I found a small hair in the food. However, the taste was excellent, and the service was decent. The atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming.

If you’re in the area and looking for a daily meal, this place is a good choice. This was my third visit, and I highly recommend it to vegetarians or those who love...
