2. Mum's Kitchen
$$$ | |Smack-dab in the middle of Panjim, this Goan institution is indisputably the best place in town for home-style Goan food---and as most of the regulars are locals, the kitchen doesn't hold back on the spice. The menu is vast and enticing, so either visit as part of a large group, or when absolutely ravenous (but yet able to wait for a table; the service is brisk so the wait shouldn't be too long).
854 Martins Bldg., D.B. St., Panaji, Goa, 403001, India98221–75559Known For
- Semolina-fried Bombay duck
- Spicy prawn recheado
- Sausage curry, served with fresh poi (a Goan bread that's similar to a ciabatta)

6. Ritz Classic
$$$ | |If you can find it, you'll likely be the only foreigner at this family favorite serving traditional (and spicy) Goan specialties.
