Budget Eats: Ramesh Bar, Sancoale, South Goa

Ramesh Bar and Restaurant in Sancoale, Mormugao taluka, central Goa, is a generous and no nonsense eatery where, soon after you order, your delicious meal is brought piping hot for you to enjoy, then you move on to let someone else enjoy their meal. We love the no frills ambience here which just allowed us to focus on the delicious and homely food, with no distractions.

To reach Ramesh in Sancoale, whether coming from the north, Panjim side or the south, Margao side, avoid taking the new Zuari bridge which bypasses Cortalim. From the Cortalim circle on the Panjim-Margao highway, turn westward onto the Cortalim-Vasco road***. Very soon, you will see glimpses of the beautiful Shree Shantadurga Sankhalyo temple on the left, which is your signal to take the very first left turn onto Caetano Manuel road. Continue down this road, past the temple, and when you reach numerous cars parked on both sides of the road, you have reached Ramesh.

This small place has become so popular and therefore so packed at lunchtime, that Ramesh has had to keep staff just to manage traffic on this narrow road. This is a lesson that some of our more famous Benaulim restaurants need to learn.

Today, Viola is having chonak thali and Roma and I are sharing a tamso thali and Maria is having a Goan veg thali. The four of us are also sharing a prawns plate and a Goan chilli chicken plate.

Costs we paid: Chilli chicken Rs 200, prawns rawa fry Rs 400, chonak thali Rs 220, tamso thali Rs 220, veg thali Rs 120

The Goan fish curry rice plate here is exceptional. It has curry, fish head bhaji, bhendi, sol kadi, salad, pickle, rice and a beautiful piece of tamso/chonak. The super tasty curry in the fish thali was of prawns with drumsticks.

It’s so nice how, at Ramesh, they refill your vati with extra curry. That was a top quality Goan meal with side orders of chilli chicken and good sized prawns that we enjoyed at just Rs 300 a head. With such generous and delicious food at very affordable rates, no wonder there is always a crowd inside and outside Ramesh Bar, a must-visit when in and around Cortalim-Sancoale-Dabolim, or on way to or from Dabolim airport/Vasco da Gama city
