Sidhesh Thali
Google
This restaurant is at Benaulim beach. The restaurant has some stiff competition with options like Johncy's and SouthernDeck around it. However, the restaurant has its own unique identity and reputation maintained, as the owner of this restaurant is Masterchef goa winner. She along-side her daughter look after the restaurant and they do an amazing job at the same.
The restaurant provides a great beach view, and you can either side down-stairs or on 1st floor, on both places you get an amazing beachview to enjoy your food, they provide sheesha/hukkahs as well. They are known for their sea-food and specifically their Goan thali. We have visited this during night time for dinner and unfortunately they did not have Thali during dinner time. They serve Thali usually during the afternoon time only and its quite their bestsellers on the menu.
We ended up ordering Mackarel fish fry, Chicken Xacuti, Chicken Cafreal and Steamed rice. Everything was amazing in taste and having it while at beach at night time with breeze around it surely added to our experience.
The top floor provides a good view but the service can be slow as we experienced that first hand when we initially went on first floor, the waiter went to get the menu but then got occupied in other stuff and conversation with some other customers and forgot about us completely. So we ended up going downstairs where the service was great and the waiters were attentive.
Overall it was a great experience eating here, would be certainly visiting here next time I'm in Benaulim to try out their Goan Thali. Surely would recommend visiting this.
