Star fish beach shack — Restaurant in Goa

I am a regular guest to this shack going back more than a decade ( bar COVID period) and can vouch for it being a great hang out either for late breakfast, lunch, dinner or just for a chilled beer or two! The staff are very friendly and respectful, the tandoor chef ( Gopi) is an old experienced hand and cooks beautiful tandoori dishes ( chicken, fish etc) all nicely presented. Garlic grilled prawns , Goan prawn curry are also a treat. The shack is at two levels, so guests can eat inside or outdoors with one's feet in the sand. They also supply sun lounges also I note these tend to go quite quickly at peak times. As far as negatives, probably the music sometimes played could be more chilled for beach goers ( staff play music to their tastes not necessarily to what customers might like), the beach toilet could be better maintained as could the sun loungers. The positives however massively outweigh the negatives. It is a great stretch of beach and the shack...

Long review but read it all.. For starters you have parking for about 4-5 cars and 8-10 two wheelers. The shack is about 30 steps away and as of 18 March 2021 is the only shack there. We came here at 3:30pm and were the only ones around... Some cons:

1. toilet wasn't a nice sight
2. some dishes were missing. Like spaghetti and one more I forgot..
3. food took time coming..
4. they had no ice. At this time of the year!!

Some pros..

1. overall food taste was good. We had prawns masala fry, veg noodles and chilly chicken.
2. secluded and clean beach
3. even with just one shack around , there was a coast Guard around.

Crowd started coming in at 5:30pm types. I guess people come an hour before sunset. Even watersports team emerged from nowhere.

Overall, if you want a private beach feel with no one...

The guys at starfish are fantastic, never any trouble to help you, they are super friendly. Wilson is always smiling and so happy to help make our holiday extra special, he arranged for a birthday cake for my birthday, which I've got to say was so yummy. The food is wonderful and so reasonably priced, we spent the holiday down at the beach its peaceful, walked for miles, and better food and drink than at the hotel. The dogs down there are so lovely, they walk you back to the hotel we miss this place, hope to see you all soon....
