    Situated hardly 200 m from colva beach. Nice place for both Veg & Non-veg cuisines. They have a separate kitchen for Veg & Non-veg cooking. Their must try dishes are chicken ghee roast (a dish just started by them- not to be missed) , chicken tikka masala & palak paneer. The masala papad is quite spicy. They have their own grinding mill for the flour, so the rotis & parathas are fresh. The service is a tad slow. No parking in the premises, but plenty of parking near the beachfront. The owner is very friendly and asked for immediate feedback, a sign of a good restaurant.

    My wife & I have been dining at the Garden restaurant for many years. It is always our first choice for fantastic quality & tasty food. The kitchen cleanliness is immaculate & you can see right into the kitchen from where you are seated. The staff are always welcoming & friendly. Can't recommend a place to eat more highly than this. Also upstairs is the rooftop bar where you can have a drink or two & snacks. It has a great view of the street below where you can sit back & watch the world go by. Highly recommended.

    We visited there on 19th dec 2022 for lunch. Its just 2 mint walk away from colva beach. On the main road. Its has two wheeler parking space but can’t say about four wheeler but no worries you can park your four wheeler at colva beach. It is one of the best restaurant in goa. Trust me best for vegetarians and drinks lover. Drinks are very reasonable price 30ml old Monk in 40 rs is icing on a cake. Taste is superb and prices are very good. Clean and hygienic place for lunch and party. Family and couples friendly place. Must visit place.

    Don't fall for the rigged reviews. It's not worth it! The chef here loves onion, everything has onion, a lot of it. All dishes are unreasonably sweet (chilli is banned in the kitchen and thanks to kilos of sauted onions). Disappointing af. Please don't come here, thank you.

    Fabulous! Authentic North Indian cooking which you can see being cooked in the spotlessly clean open kitchen. No secrets here! Staff are all amazing, customer service at its best. Will definately return.

  • 1/5 Sudheer H. 2 years ago on Google
    If u are looking for authentic North Indian food,u ll surely be disappointed...Overrated prices,no quality and quantities will really irritate u....No matter how much u r willing to spend,don't expect quality and quantity and upon that waiting for long hours...really disgusting.........Whenever u visit this place be ready to eat whatever they provide and pour 4-5times more money than it's worth....I visited with my family,they all felt the same...We went out of the restaurant praying for the health and wealth of people who visits the restaurant in near future....May God bless them

  • 3/5 Adrian F. 2 years ago on Google
    The food here is not great and the quantity too is not worth the price. The Butter Garlic Naan hardly had any butter on it. Ambience is fine. The cleaning staff is courteous. There was only one waiter to take the order and had to keep looking out for him to place another order.

  • 5/5 Aryan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very tasty food and good ambience. Best service ever seen in an restaurant. Good atmosphere will recommend to visit at night.❤️‍🔥

  • 5/5 Ankur P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing veg food, Biryani, paneer dishes were awesome. Good, clean service. Went there for dinner with friends, family and 2 kids.

  • 3/5 Nagendra U. 2 years ago on Google
    Spacious open-air restaurant located right on the road to Colva beach. The food is decent. Nothing to write home about, though. The rotis were hot and supple. The sabzi was tasty. Mostly Indian fare, unassuming menu and ambience (which will do nicely - no problem at all). However, it is a bit pricey for what they have to offer, and there is a painfully long wait for your food to be served.

  • 1/5 Kanti K. D. 6 years ago on Google
    1 star for the staff named augustine, he just wasnt interested in serving customers told he had a big parcel to deliver i sat there for 45 mins. none parcel went. then he told one of the chefs is sick. this kind of staff is bad for business food is good but attitude of augutine is disgusting.

  • 1/5 Keshav S. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrible veg food , very worst taste. Don't even try veg here. Chapati was not even properly cooked. Food is tasteless. ll never recommend this.

  • 1/5 Ronald R. 2 years ago on Google
    Today we had gone to have dinner here as looking at the location and looks wise the place looked good. Food was tasteless and the service was too bad. Sizzler the chicken was almost raw and no masala in it. I would never recomend this place for food. Don't waste your money!

  • 3/5 Sovan M. 4 years ago on Google
    A good restaurant at good location. This is basically north Indian styled restaurant. Wide menu along with local Goan cuisine also available. Its usually a crowd there. It's a covered garden styled restaurant and it makes it different from others there.

  • 3/5 Lella Chandu S. 2 years ago on Google
    Pros : Hygienic food Ambiance Service Taste was okish Cons : Car parking is not available Prices were bit high

  • 4/5 dj s. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant's menu was nothing short of impressive, offering a wide variety of dishes that showcased the chef's creativity and skill. Every dish I tried was simply divine, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and bold flavors that left me wanting more. One of the things that really stood out to me about this restaurant was the attention to detail in every aspect of the dining experience. The atmosphere was sophisticated and inviting, with elegant decor and comfortable seating that made me feel right at home. The service was exceptional as well, with attentive servers who were knowledgeable about the menu and always ready to make recommendations.

  • 5/5 Francesca L. 5 months ago on Google
    Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, nice staff, clean, great attention to detail Only thing is that I would prefer to have a normal printed menu rather than the iPad menu really. That, or allow people to scan a qr to access the menu on their own device. The tablet wad a bit cumbersome and difficult to see the whole menu.

  • 5/5 Sasi P. 5 months ago on Google
    We came to this place after reading the google reviews and wow we were blown away! This place shines in Goa as a dependable restaurant with great hygiene, stellar service and a delicious feast to the taste buds. The high quality of ingredients used is evident from the food preparation. Special shout out to the butter naan we had, hands down the best naan I have every eaten (I have dined at my share of upscale restaurants and yet this stands out) This place is on the pricier end, but totally worth bang for your buck!

  • 5/5 Soundharya R. 5 months ago on Google
    The Garden Restaurant in Goa is a real gem. The food here is top-notch, and the chef knows their stuff. They whip up dishes that are a burst of local flavors, using fresh ingredients. Every bite is a taste sensation, and you can feel the love for good food in every dish. If you want a true Goan culinary experience, this place is the real deal. The chef's skills shine through, making it a must-visit spot for anyone who loves good grub.

  • 3/5 Swetha M. 10 months ago on Google
    Service was really good and the place has a nice vibe. Ordered spinach and potato bhaji which was very salty. Egg biryani was tasty. Veg fried rice was bad and could be improved.

  • 5/5 Pravesh A. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited this restaurant 2 weeks ago during our stay in Goa. The ambience, quality & taste of food, the staff and most important the main chef.... everything and everyone were absolutely fantastic. During our 1 week's of stay in Goa, we eventually ended up being in this restaurant for our every day's dinner. Chef was so kind and jelled up with us that she even made something which wasn't in their menu. From the bottom of our heart, we would definitely recommend this place as a must go to for some yummielicious food.

  • 5/5 Mayuresh w. 1 year ago on Google
    Recommended for punjabi food they have good tandoor starters also We were eating sea food from last 3 days in Goa so for a change we decided to go garden restaurant and worth it We have order tandoor platter which was awesome n butter flavour mind blowing and they serve masala papad in unique way that we liked Must visit Best for family 😊✌️

  • 5/5 Deepika D. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Amogh S. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great place. Ambiance 10/10 Live music with the violin artist is just add on the ambiance. Food quality and quantity wise is very generous. They have multiple options for veg as well. The details to food is awesome as we got smoked onions with paneer kadai which really enhanced the taste. Staff and service is fast and accurate, we orderd hara bara kebab as shallow fry. Service is fast and drinks are good. Had one of the best Long ice land tea. For couples you fell like you are on a date with small candel light on tabel.

  • 3/5 Pradeep N. 4 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately we were disappointed with food here especially prawns curry . The owner showed courtesy by removing it from bill. What we liked was the location was accessible, cheese balls starter were good . Also violin music in background was good. Fish we had for starter had tangy experience. Overall we expected the best but that didn't turn out. Husband wife owner duo are hard-working , hope next time we will have better experience.

  • 4/5 Sriram V. 4 years ago on Google
    Tasty food, checkout their signature dishes. Friendly staff, live music (violin) and clean washrooms. Car parking has to be done outside in the beach parking. They have limited bike parking. They have huge choice of beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) It's a decent place for tasty food. I tried the veg ones, they were tasty.

    Best restaurant in Colva by far!! Really authentic Indian food. The two managers (who happen to have lived in Leicester for a long time prior) are absolutely lovely and do a great job. Not only did the lovely lady stand and explain exactly how to make our favourite aubergine dish on a packed out evening, I saw them both be really lovely to their staff too. Wished we had more time in Colva just to come back here!
