Kuttikar Restaurant's legendary fish & seafood @ Old Goa, August 2023
Friends in Panjim have for long been telling us about a simple restaurant beside a quarry in Old Goa, which reputedly serves superb seafood. Early this August, we came to check out the legendary Kuttikar’s, and we were not disappointed.
Kuttikar Bar and Restaurant
Near Vassudeva Tamba metal quarry, Sao Pedro, Old Goa
Contact:
Timings: 12 noon to 3.30 pm, 7 to 10.30 pm; 2nd and 4th Mondays CLOSED
Kuttikar Bar and Restaurant is located in Sao Pedro, Old Goa, off the Panjim-Ribander-Old Goa road.
When approaching from the Panjim-Ribander side, continue for 1.5 km after the Ribander-Divar ferry point. Keep a look out for Kuttikar Stores on the river, i.e. the left side of the road. Exactly opposite, you will see a road with signboards for the Vassudeva Tamba metal quarry and Kuttikar Bar and Restaurant. Turn right and follow this short, bumpy road to its end, at Kuttikar restaurant.
On weekends, go early or expect to wait for a table as Kuttikar's is popular and crowded.
There is seating inside, downstairs, but we prefer the open upstairs area, with views of the green fields around.
We placed our order soon, before the Sunday crowds arrived. There was chonak (gian sea perch/sea bass), muddoshi (lady fish), squids, prawns, kingfish, pomfret, xinaneo (mussels).
Today we had 2 chonak thalis (Rs 220 each), 2 veg thalis (Rs 150 each), with prawns rawa fry (Rs 380), a whole pomfret rechead (Rs 650) and xinaneo rawa fry (Rs 400).
Chonak thali items: a lovely piece of chonak rawa fry, prawn curry, cauliflower bhaji, crabs, teesrio, sol kari, rice, salad and pickle.
Veg thali items: dal, curd chapati, papad, batata fodis, sol kari, rice, salad and pickle. Kuttikar had given an extra potato bhaji item in between also.
What a feast of fish and seafood today: 11 prawns, 11 xinaneo, a whole juicy pomfret, besides the chonak, crab, teesrio and prawn curry on our plates! The prawns were huge and very fresh, fried well but still not dry but nice, juicy.
The xinaneos were also very good. The masala in the rawa was perfect.
We would have liked more sweetness in the reachead masala used in the pomfret recheado, but that's a matter of taste. The fish itself was very sweet and fresh.
It’s not just Kuttikar’s fish plates that are delicious. Every item on the fish thali is superb. The chonak is also very fresh. Very good prawn curry, yeah. The crab was also quite nice. Fresh and tasty.
In the veg thalis, Pushpa and Maria enjoyed everything except the dal and sol kari.
No doubt, Kuttikar's is one of the best fish places anywhere in Goa.
Though Kuttikar has Google Pay, the mobile network coverage in this area is poor, so do carry cash when you come here. Only one of us in our group had carried cash, so we just about managed to pay our bill.
Kuttikar’s is clearly another monument of Old Goa. And is a must visit when in central Goa.
Hope you enjoy this 4k, hires video.

Violas jaw drop when the prawns arrived was classic!! Love the way she eats - had to show my young son so that he learns from watching her. He usually just shovels food into his mouth😂

Hi Lesley..had been to this place today afternoon with my family after watching your video..but very sad to say that this place is overhyped..the food is very normal. nothing too great, in fact the curry in the thali was stale, also we tried prawn masala and to our disappointment the prawns were not cooked properly, we were getting raw taste, service is pathetic..however we enjoyed our dinner at Mistur kud which we visited last week after watching your video.. thanks
Lovely video

Madame Maria is eating Veg thali but have seen her enjoying the Fish as well
Looks absolutely yummy food. Enjoy. Goan Government should build better roads and encourage everyone to visit authentic Goan food restaurant and this particular restaurant should be tourists map.
Nice video 👍

You people really know how to enjoy your meals !! Not fair watching you all eat such delicious looking food ! Bye .
I am just back from this place. Visited it since you spoke so highly of it. Sad to say it was not up to the mark i.e. the quality of food, it was stale. I ordered the kingfish thali the accompaniments were all stale. Service was poor too. 😢

Plz introduce yourself and give sneak peak of your life
For bongs only 2 cuisine’s work Bengali and Chinese. Absolutely non adventurous when it comes to eating
Overhyped place... Been there with fly last night ... Ordered modso fry, prawns fry , xinanioes rawa fry , velio rawa fry and bombil rawa fry .. only the prawns were fresh and nicely made and the xinanioes... Plus place is not that hygienic..., We had better fresh and tasty fish at Dados - Benaulim..
The long queue to get a table,the dirty washroom and dirty tables ,overworked waiters ,less said the better. After waiting for more than a hour,the food arrived ,even small eateries wilĺserve better food. This place is pathetic...
Wonderful. Price is so reasonable. What about best crab xec xec
