Barbeque Nation

Reviewed By christinemanning3000

The buffet lunch was awesome - The staff very polite and helpful. The starters were really good, the prawns and fish was superb. Pricing very reasonable. It was a Birthday celebration lunch, so they gave us a cake on the house, which was very kind of them. All in all a good Birthday celebration lunch.

Had a fantastic lunch with my family The stuffed crab , beef chilly and the salads were great along with the ambience, on the seafront, and the monsoon breeze , simply out of the world experience. Goa without a visit to this place is incomplete. Dear Guest, We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us this note. It was a pleasure to host you.

Eat here if you want to tasted what people in Goa cook at home!Really tasty food. We generally had sea food (fried, curry and rice)The ambience is great and Paul served us and he is very experienced. He gave us recommendations and was not intrusive. They take great care even in the cutlery. It was warm and the table ware were all imported from Germnay, you cannot miss it. I would visit this place again, and would highly recommend it for people who crave for authentic local cusine.

Ambiance - beautiful setting - a Portuguese house converted for the restaurant. Soft lighting and live music. Perfect setting a lovely evening. Staff - Very friendly, knew the menu very well and extremely helpful.Food - The best part of the place!!! The food was stunning. Must have seafood when here but saying that the chicken fried rice was equally good. The food can be a bit spicy...just to be aware. However my fav was the dessert...the apple pie was to dir for!!!Totally value for money. It would be recommended to book a table especially for weekends.Dear Guest,Thank you for sharing your valuable feedbackwe are more then happy to know that you were happy with out food, ambiance and service and we would like to assure you that we do work toward maintaining the highest quality standard and creating a memorable experience at all time.Please do visit us again,we will be happy to serve you againRegardsManagement

Booked a table over the phone and was asked if it was a celebration I said yes my birthday okay I was told.When we arrived met by a charming waiter who said oh it's your birthday I smiled and said yes.Impressed with the restaurant it's done up to a very high standard.When the 4 of us wanted to order we asked about a specials board. Was told what was on there and I said can I have the Peking duck but was told if you want anything off the specials board you have to order 24 hours in advance the idea of a specials board is so its there for you. Also how are you supposed to know this if it's not on the website and you have never been there before!!We ordered the wok fried noodles which were good and the lamb in black pepper which was ok.I though they may have brought a muffin type cake over to me seeing as they asked if its a celebration but nothing not that it bothered me I just found it strange.may visit again not sure though.Dear Guest,Greetings from The Red Ginger Colva!Thank you for sparing the time to share your feedback. We welcome guest feedback as the most effective tool in our learning curve.We regret the inconvenience caused to you on this occasion and request you to allow us another opportunity to serve you again.

The food and service at Peep Kitchen is outstandingDuring my multiple visits to Peep Kitchen, I tried the Fish Thali, Chicken Cafreal, Bangkok Chicken, Almost all the varieties of Fried Fish and the Fish Biryani (a unique and heavenly preparation), the food was truly amazing. The restaurant Owners and his entire staff makes you feel welcome from the minute you step into the restaurant. The spacious restaurant and attentive staff creates a very relaxing environment that works very well together. Highly recommendedHi Andy,Thanks for the lovely review.
