tilve bhojanalaya

bhangada too good

amazing sea food experience. prawns rawa fry was super. crunchy outside, nice fresh and juicy on inside. tried the surmai rawa fry as well, and was amazed at the size of the surmai. they had cooked it to perfection with perfect rawa coating. the sp fish thaali had mudoshi fry, a local fish variant i assume, which again tasted very good. all in all, if you care not about ambience but want genuine good sea food make sure you visit this place. added attraction to me was drinks availability at reasonable rates.

if you are foodie and have respect for tasty food, then surely this place is for you, delicious and value for money. simply have fish thali and order for prawns fry, if you are beer lover then you can go for it with juicy prawns!

located just 10 min away from shantadurga temple kawala,this eating place is a heaven for fish lovers.we had special fish thali for just rs 120.it had one chapati,rice,a white chickpeas gravy,fried mudadushas,prawn curry and a coconut preparation of dried prawns.the tival made of kokum and chillies was amazing.it is a drink which beats the heat and acidity.the fried pomphret was crunchy on the outside and soft inside.the prawn masala was tasty.the rates are very low.all in all,a must go for fish lovers

one of the best places to have fried fresh fish with beers. just too good. and taste is the old one not changed at all. not a good option for vegetarians

if you want to try homemade food,you should try this place.even though the ambience is not that great and place is small. food quality is good. specially fish served at this place are great.

. after a series of continental munches, i was really looking forward for a real authentic goan treat. i knew that such a moment would come soon as the summer wedding season had begun.

the months of april and may are full of functions and rituals. here in goa, the surrounding areas of the town of ponda are the most popular places for hosting such events. as for me, i eagerly wait for an opportunity to be invited for any such event as i can complement it with a mouthwatering lunch at ‘tilve bhojanalaya’ i finally got the chance during one such visit to the ganapati temple in khandola, marcela.

this vintage bar & restaurant is situated on the main road between the mahalaxmi & nageshi temples on the outskirts of ponda. the ‘tilve bhojanalaya’ is well known for its authentic goan fish curry rice plate, popularly known in this part of the world as ‘thaali’. most of the visitors to this place are men and women coming straight out of a wedding function. the men are formally dressed while the women are studded with lots of gold ornaments.

every item in this ‘thaali’ is simply awesome. it is cooked in traditional hindu style. the crumb fried fish is too yummy. no words to describe it. the ‘tisrya sukhe’ (seashell sauted) is also mouthwatering. in addition, the ‘tilve bhojanalaya’ also serves a variety of dishes in chicken and mutton.

the scrumptious lunch at the ‘tilve bhojanalaya’ was indeed a mouthwatering ‘prasadam’ after a divine ‘ganapati darshan’. i have clicked a snapshot of their entire menu so that you all can choose your own pick.

so gourmands, whenever to feel the urge for an authentic goan fish curry rice, ‘tilve bhojanalaya’ is the place to be.

the best goan food... my favourite place since my childhood.. everything is just awesome here... ambience is very simple.. but a must visit when in goa...

good place to have traditional goan homemade like food. prawns, xacoti and kingfish are worth trying. service is also very fast and the ambiance is also good.

parents n i had been near ponda for visiting the places near by.. v had taken a taxi, we asked the driver to take us for the lunch der so he took us hea...
must seriously thank the driver for taking us hea...the taste, the price is so worth it..
the chicken dry fry is a must try! the pompret fish fry is worth the price..
the only demerit is that v had to wait for a long time for them to serve!
well if u want something good, den v can wait for a bit more time ryt??! 😉
however, the taste is all that matters! so giving 5/5stars

tilve had always been my favourite place to enjoy homemade food (especially seafood). even though the place is quite small and the ambiance is not appealing, it does provide the homely atmosphere. the food quality is usually really nice and the seafood is very fresh. i never missed any chance to have at least one meal here whenever i am in goa.

i was anticipating the same for my latest visit to this place (yesterday) after around 4 years. but to my dismay things have changed.

i would not say that the food quality is bad, but it is not the same for which i adored the restaurant. we ordered pomfret fry which was really good. {reccomended}.
prawns fry was also good. i had ordered chicken thali and the chicken wasnt well cooked and the gravy was average.

i asked for kalwa suke or tisrya suke (both delicacies) but both were unavailable.

the service was very slow inspite hotel was half empty. we had to remind the owner (its a family owned place so they serve personally) multiple times in order to get the order delivered.

i was a bit disappointed with the experience.

having lived just a km away from this famous joint, trust me when i say i've seen the downward change in the quality of food. used to be our go to place for goan homemade fish thali when i was a kid. i've seen buses of drama groups and production houses flocking the place for the fish they served. in past few years there has been drastic change in taste, quantity and the quality. although i still love their chicken dry fry, the quantity is very less. chicken xacuty used to be a regular for us but lately it's only bones and gravy.
4 stars for the childhood memories of yummy food it used to serve!

fish ... prawns ... clams ....
justice done to seafood ....
my annual trip to goa is incomplete without a meal in tilve .....
i've bewn to many places in goa for seafood ....
nothing to beat this place ....
modest .... yet excellent taste

if you want to try local goan food then you must visit this place. amazing food, great service, pocket friendly. surmai and bangda curry rice is simply amazing. i strongly recommend this place.

this place is like heaven on earth for fisheterian  you will fall in love with variety of fish and preparation specially goan style 
we had most of the fish available with them ...we reached late in the afternoon but owner served us best of food 
do order = mutton thali / prawns fry / tisrya sukhe / surmai thali  
food quality = we have overeaten ... so by default  great
ambiance = its more like khanval but it can compensate with best food 
service = quick and fast ( they do serve alcohol inside if you request)
