This restaurant has a jaw dropping location. One can hear the waves of the bay lapping the sands as one enjoys the amazing creations of the chefs.We sampled the Chicken Teriyaki which was simply outstanding!! The skewered chicken pieces were perfectly cooked and well marinated in the Teriyaki sauce. Served with grilled exotic veggies, this makes for a super appetizer.For mains, we attacked the Meat Treat. This was a smorgasbord of Chicken wings, Chicken breast , pork chops and beef medallions . Each meat was prepared in its own signature sauce and was accompanied by grilled exotice veggies and a well prepared herbed, jacket potato. A portion of garlic bread came along with the platter.For dessert, we opted for the Chocolate Walnut Brownie with Vanilla ice cream. This dessert was served on a sizzler plate and was scrumptious!The service was attentive and discreet.The team at Barbeque deserve a round of applause !!Dear 0815Happyguest,Greetings from Cidade de Goa!Thank you for reviewing Barbeque, our award winning seafood restaurant. We are happy to read that you enjoyed the food served.The View of the Arabian Sea and the waves gently lapping along the shore while dining at Barbeque is truly thrilling.It has always been our endeavour to cater to each guestâs taste and liking and we are happy for your words of appreciation.Thank you once again for your review.

Samarkand- Chances Hotel at Dona PaulaHeard on FM radio the opening of a new restaurant- Samarkand at Dona Paula. Since the new restaurant is located at the Chances Hotel and very near our home in Goa, we decided to investigate....Ambience/Decor: very unusual- well-finished and attractive- certainly a 5 star restaurant. The best part is the elegant decor and the subtle lighting ( not 'in your face'- but effective enough so that one can see what one has ordered) and the rough - hewn, natural wood effect log tables - and benches, accompanied by soft, subtle music in the background...not easy to find in most of Goa's eateries. As soon as we were seated, the courteous waiter offered us damp hand towels and - yes!- an APRON to put on; with this we were readied for the task of 'digging right in'! Having eaten, over the years at the unbeatable "Bukhara" restaurants at the Maurya Sheraton Hotel in Delhi and the Soaltee Crowne Plaza in Kathmandu, we recognised some of the Bukhara-type touches: the rough finish of the furniture, the aprons and the copper thalis, katoris and drinking vessels used in place of the usual crockery. As the Manager of the Samarkand informed us when we pointed out the similarity, like the Bukhara, the Samarkand too was created to carry its guests back to earlier times in India's North West Frontier Province region: the "proper" or typically anglicised colonial set up that is usual in a hotel restaurant had been cast aside for a characterful Indian ambiance to encourage "digging in" to North Western favourites like the Raan, Kababs and Naan with ones' hands, rather than using cutlery (which they do have, as well, by the way!). And now for the main draw: The Food! We looked through the many menu items, some of which we were unfamiliar with, and sought the advice of Chances' Executive Chef Arun. A great decision!I outline some of our favourites here. This list of items was eaten over two sessions, by the way- after our first wonderful experience, we went back a second time with friends, and were not disappointed. Our special recommendations include the following: -We were told to start with a Shorba- we chose the chicken almond, served with kulcha- great choice- light but flavourful.-The Galoti kababs- similar to the Shammi kabab but exceptionally soft and melt- in- the-mouth creations- to be eaten with the Sheermal- smaller, crisp and delicious rotis , still popular in Hyderabad and Lucknow-The Sikanderi naan- very tender leg of lamb- the Sanarkhand's signature dish, we were told-The Dum Biryani which is made in the Oudh style- and is served with an unusual dahi raita- a delicious mixture with a dash if sweetness and topped with a 'baghar' of dry red chilli- Kali daal, or the Daal Samarkand- was as expected- sufficiently creamy- Have to mention the yummy Pudina chutney- Khurmi Naan- again another unusual combination with a topping of tomatoes and paneer- Family Naan: this really serves four people - and as we were only two of us, the Chef brought one out just to show us. Much of the fun would be sharing the naan with your group: tearing it up into your own individual pieces after it comes to the table. Although it looked impressive, it seemed a bit toooo crisp in the centre. I believe the crew is still trying to perfect the texture.- Rawa fried prawns- a very good size for a decent portion- Roghan josh- excellent, tender mutton- you could tell it had been perfectly browned. Apparently there are several vegetarian items on the menu, but we stuck to the meats!! And, as expected, we had no room for desert- though we were told the Malai Kulfi was very good! All in all: Excellent value for money- great to find a place that serves amazing food in elegant surroundings, yet doesn't make a deep hole in one's pocket. Dinner for two, including soft drinks, plus a 'shorba' each, and a starter, with a couple of non veg main course items and naans - but no desert: â¹.1400 approxGo for it!

Route 66 never disappoints. Been a regular here since its inception and it's my top favourite burger and pizza fix. Special mention for the LSD burger, Sunburn burger, Route 66 burger, Angels and Demons burger, Club bunwich, Sex Mex Pizza and 66 Platter.This time round though went in favour of breakfast which is open from 9AM- 11.30AM. I had the egg bennie muffin wich and the cinnabun. They were da bomb! Chef Xavs Norr does a fantastic job. The eggs were poached perfectly for the sandwich, firm and yet still runny and the cinnabun is a countless times better than any I've had at Bakerstreet or at other high end bakeries. Simply melt-in-the-mouth, finger-licking delicious! Only complaint is that breakfast is not served all day. Am going next week with friends to try the White Castle Slider and Breakfast Burrito.
