" Viva Goa is a hidden gem that I am thrilled to have discovered! It's a cozy little spot that serves some of the best authentic Goan cuisine I've had outside India. The service was impeccable, with our waiter being very knowledgeable about the menu. I particularly loved the prawns racheado, which had the perfect balance of spices. The only downside was that the restaurant was a bit crowded, making the atmosphere less intimate than I would have liked, but the food made it well worth it. I can't wait to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had the chance to dine here, and although the surroundings are not what I expected being by a gas station, the food blew me away! The service was friendly, and the manager was very attentive. I went for the complete Goan platter—each dish was authentic and packed with flavor. The highlight was the fish fry, which tasted like it was straight out of a coastal shack in Goa. I will definitely come back with friends to share this lovely experience! " (*Curated Review*)

I would recommend this place to anyone wanting the true taste of Goan cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
