Very cool owner warmly welcomed us to his shack. Offered great discount on water sports, and ensured we visit him during dinner. Yes be prepared for mosquitoes while dining on the back, an they will be at every restaurant. But the yung staff here stole...our heart. Very sweet to speak with, and also played a hand on the billiard board (condition strictly ok). Sea food, especially squids n prawns are worth a try, the chinese cuisine is similar to what you get at all these shacks. Special call out to Sachin, a young waiter from Andhra. Very helpful. Thank youMore

It is really nice place especially in the evening till the closing time of this shack. The food quality and service is perfect with reasonable price. Nobody will bother you if you sit for more than 4-5 hours. The staff is very friendly. I personally...will visit there whenever I visit GOA.More

The location is really great. As soon as you enter the beach , you can see it right in front. The food is great - the only one better than it is the Flying Dolphin, very close to Jolly Jack. But the Dolphin is more...expensive. Like all other shacks, you need to grab your sun bed and order food. You can lie there all day and nobody will bother you as long as you order from the shack. The service is lazy, like in all shacks but that's Goa for you. And to be frank, who cares about 15-20 minutes extra when you have the whole day to spend there. You should try them if you are there in the season.More

We had been to this place on one of the evenings during out and which turned out to be the finest evenings. The music , seating, lighting everything is just in place and had given peace to all those tired senses of the mind :)....No exaggeration and this place is one of the good places to visit for those lazy evenings where hair gets filled with air and soul gets drenched in the sea.More

We went here for 3 continuous day. Just because of this one guy-ANIL. He is very humble and would be all ears to your needs. Must try the Dal Tadka, if you are a vegetarian.

Had a bitter experience...we travelled with kids & infants!..we ordered a list of starters and soups and waited for around 3 hours...when still food was not served we asked them and the explanation given after repeated enquiries was that the waiter had gone to take...bath which indeed was very weird...! Whereas it was their responsibility to serve us first and then take bath....😠 As and when we cancelled the order and moved to the next shack our kids slept without dinner....quite annoyingMore
