Cringing, craving, bingeing, braving... you always have an opinion on what's hot and what's not in your city and we just love to hear it. Besides, there's no better place to satiate that itch to bitch!
The last time I was there for dinner, we ordered bombil and prawns as appetizers, chicken cafreal and fish caldine with rice and pav, bebinca, plus two cocktails, an Indian whisky, a soda and mineral water, and the final tally was less than Rs. 2000. Bebinca is one of my favourite things in the whole wide world, and the home made bebinca at Soul Fry Casa is almost as good as those available at Nostalgia or Infantaria in Goa. :)
Go for rawas tandoori with racheid masala, Portugese prawn rice, calamari in green masala. Other dishes that I tried were also decent, but these are the best. Don't miss the bibinca. Beer list could be better. If you go on a weekend for karaoke and hope to flaunt your crooning skills, beware: the owner sings better than you.
I like the idea of mulling over a 12-year-old Kentucky bourbon whilst tapping my toes to live musicians performing rhythm ānā blues, jazz or rock n roll. Now Soul Fry Casa once again offers me this and more.
Friday nights and Soul Fry Casa transforms into is a live music bar which manages to combine two qualities rarely married in Mumbai: it's very, very trendy whilst being openly accessible to all. People are attracted by more than just the setting - live music, acoustic or multi-piece sets can be enjoyed every Friday night when groupies spontaneously begin dancing. The music is what... read more
This jewel of a place is camouflaged behind the small shops n trees on the road from Fountain towards kala ghoda.... Had been to this place in the lunch break with some of my colleagues.... Food - 4/5 - Typical Goan food well prepared n served the traditional way (all copper utensils). The fish preparation were very tasty with the right mix of masalas n a fresh fish. The fish thali is served with good portions of fried fish, shell fish and curry. Sufficient for 1 hungry stomach. Service - 4/5 - Service is prompt n the staff is courteous enough to help you with the menu and the portions... read more
This place is a complete yes yes.. for coastal food lovers.. music lovers.. the prawns, teesri (shell fish), bombli fry, chicken is awesome.. A wonderful joint to enjoy with family and friends. Good service and fully paisa vasool :)
The restaurant is an authentic Goan food joint serving near home-style Goan food in a-la carte and thali format. The joint is frequented by the office going crowd who are tired of the Punjabi/Mughlai food and are out to entertain their clients (or themselves!) to some unique Goan fare. In the evening though you will find many families in the restaurant.
The table itself is wooden, with all table mats ā adorned with sketches of Mario Miranda ā telling a little story about some aspect of Goa. The cutlery is heavy, the plate is heavy copper/steel, and water is served in traditional brass... read more
Lovely seafood. Good service. I had the fried surmai (kingfish), tamarind prawns and crispy masala bombil. The surmai was very tasty and so were the crispy bombay ducks. The bombay ducks won my favour; crispy coating on the outside and soft tender flesh on the inside. Yummy! I'm not a fan of seafood curries but I totally loved the tamarind prawns - garlicky, tangy, subtly spiced and its flavours made you want to savour it and eat it slowly. A tip: try that curry with neer dosa rather than regular Indian breads. It will taste delightful!
The place: Soul Fry Casa. The setting: a classic Portuguese style abode. The ambience: inviting and cheerful. The food: appetizing and mouth-watering. The music: effervescent and uplifting.
I really love the ambiance and atmosphere of this place. Lovely music in the background, not restricted only to the Goan style songs but also includes some great English numbers.
The food is authentic but you will get better food elsewhere. Some dishes like the Prawn curry was great. The Vindaloo lacked the tangy touch and the soul Kadi - I found it quite bad. The Bombil Fry is one of the best I have had (as good as Gajalee, or I'd say even a touch better). The Bebinca was really good and well presented.
Frankly, the food is little above average, and the service is really... read more
This restaurant had been on my yet-to-try list for too long so when my better half offered to take me out for an early dinner on a Sunday night, we picked this place.
The restaurant was almost empty which our server was due to it being Sunday night anf IPL being on. It was a welcome change for us and just the thing for a change. We watched the match on a huge screen and music finally started playing once Mumbai got out as we left.
My usual poison (Cosmopolitan) wasn't available but the bartender offered to make me a mulberry based vodka cocktail which tasted pretty darned good. Husband... read more
