Udupi Shree Sagar Pure Veg Restaurant — Restaurant in Goa

But of a mixed bag, bit of a shame, but having visited De Candolim Deck Restaurant twice in the space of 3 days, I’ve had (food wise anyway) two radically different experiences.

Visit 1 - summer salad and satay chicken skewers. No words other than AMAZING, sum it up. The salad at 250INR was a meal in itself, in fact i think as colourful, crunchy salads go (topped with peanuts and croutons) it was the best salad I’ve ever had. The chicken satay was gorgeous too, lovely pieces of tender white meat and a fantastic pot of hot satay sauce.

Visit 2 - chicken Caesar salad and a side of fries. Oh dear, I really didn’t enjoy it. The Caesar was spoiled by limp lettuce, hard grey looking chicken pieces and a total overload of a sickly tasting sauce that looks like it had been squeezed out of a tube of processed stuff bought from a supermarket. Maybe not but I know a Caesar when I see (and taste) one and this was really not a good effort. I hate leaving food, but half of it was enough for me. Whilst the fries were ok, they looked great in fact, there were far too many of them and they were lukewarm.

The service was impeccable both times, no complaints there at all, the atmosphere good, considering my visits were for lunch.

Prices represent excellent value.

I will visit again to see if the hit and miss experiences to date, make for a 5 ⭐️ food review...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at De Candolim Deck Restaurant and Bar, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The restaurant offers a lively ambiance with live music, which added to the overall enjoyable atmosphere.

One of the dishes I tried was the CHICKEN GARLIC NOODLES, and it was absolutely delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked and had a generous amount of flavorful chicken. The dish had just the right amount of garlic, giving it a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors. It was a satisfying and well-balanced meal.

I also had the PASTA ARABIATTA, and it was equally impressive. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the sauce had a nice spicy kick to it. The combination of tomatoes, garlic, and chili flakes created a rich and flavorful sauce that complemented the pasta perfectly. It was a simple yet satisfying dish.

The service at De Candolim Deck was decent. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. They were prompt in taking our orders and delivering the food to our table.

Overall, my experience at De Candolim Deck was great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal with a...
