Goa, India Dining Guide to the Food & Drink Scene - Eater

"High-ceilinged corridors, reflective pools, and charming courtyards full of mango trees effortlessly blend in with the surrounding lush rice paddies at this 118-room luxe Hyatt resort in South Goa. The hotel restaurant, Spice Studio, encircles a majestic banyan tree and serves homey dishes from India’s southwestern coast, like the Thalassery Kozhi Biryani from northern Kerala, in which rice and chicken are cooked separately and later layered in a large pot. Be sure to sip one of the Courtyard Bar’s kokum-infused martinis. Rooms start at $200 during the high season." - Zinara Rathnayake
