After woodside inn got it's much needed face-lift it warranted a visit, so we went there for a quick dinner the other night. I was pleasantly surprised. No, it's not gourmet fare, but if your looking for a chilled-out place with easy, uncomplicated food, then this place might be to your liking. And the whole place has wi-fi and they serve alcohol! Nice.
The menu is not an extensive one. A couple of salads (and i mean 2 or 3), some starters, pastas, pizza, and some main courses (i think 4 dishes if i'm not mistaken).
Ordered fried calamari and the four cheese pizza to start with. The squid was delicious and fresh and cooked to perfection (not chewy at all). The pizza was better than any of the big pizza-chains in town, the crust thin and lots of yummy stringy cheese. We also ordered 2 sandwiches to take away; a ham-n-cheese and a roast beef on baguette. The ham n cheese was soggy n gross by the time we got home and the roast beef is still lying uneaten in the fridge! The total bill was about Rs 1300, which included two alcoholic drinks. Not bad i say, though i'm definitely giving the sandwiches a miss the next time! Vegetarians have a decent amount of dishes to choose from.
The place is cute and has a cosy lil bar area downstairs and a dinning area above. There are photographs hung on the wall, taken by various photographers, which are for sale. The waiters are attentive without being in-your-face.
So all-in-all its a place to come after work, or hangout with friends, have a few beers, wash it down with some starters. Worth a check-out.

Good
If your a hard core Goa-phile like me and love spicy,succulent, fresh seafood, then Soul Fry Casa will transport you back to the land of sun-n-sea (read Goa!) well the food is more a mix of goan and konkani specialities. What was nice was that they had a band called Junkt playing some great light jazz music ( must check em out if you all get a chance to!)
All the dishes we ordered were really well made. fresh prawns (try the recheard..awesome with pao), succulent tesriya sukhe(clams for the uninitiated), crumb fried squid, casa prawns(strange name but tastes great!). the only thing that disappointed was the size of their crabs (and i LOVE crabs)...they would've fit in the palm of my hand! Good thing we asked to see the crab before they cooked it! For great crab...go to TRISHNA people!
The service was average.. don't think the waiters could hear us over the music the band was playing. so we had to resort to a lot of hand waving! Cozy, warm ambience. All-in-all, a good experience, would definately go back. Good food and great music...good for the soul!
