Great place for Goan food. Tried Chonok Rawa Fry and Roast Chicken Salad. Portion sizes were generous and the prices were reasonable. The ambience is pleasant and the servers are enthusiastic. A very nice experience. Definitely recommended for a leisurely meal. I was tempted to give it a 5-star rating, but settled on 4, because anything can be improved! One of the best restaurants in North Goa to enjoy the authentic Goan thali. After having some disappointing food experiences in Goa we visited this place with so much hope and it was worth dining here. We had to wait for around 10 to 15 minutes to get the table. We ordered Tawa chicken fry, Garlic butter prawns and Fish thali and everything turned out amazingly tasty. Tawa chicken fry was spicy as required with the perfect crunch, and prawns were cooked perfectly but they were not that hot till they reached my table and Fish thali was heavenly. From fish fry to every other curry everything was soulful and truly satisfying my tummy and soul. Definitely, it's highly recommended and worth the hype. Service can be improved as it was very slow. While on our way to Anjuna beach from Candolim, we came accross this place that one cannot miss. A large parking area and hoardings starting from quite a distance, we stepped in to enquire if they serve crabs and lobster. Visited them finally for dinner and so glad we made it here. Lively ambience and welcoming staff, we chose our lobster. The chef was kind enough to incorporate our taste and how my son wanted it to be presented. Cooked to perfection, the tawa masala lobster was just like we wanted to have our meat. Spicy but not overpowering the flavours of the meat. The butter garlic shark we ordered was another winner. A scrumptious dish along with their cocktails was a great dinner. Thumbs up to the cocktail too. We ordered bebinca(not in house ) with ice cream for dessert. The music added to the charm of the evening. The place has managed to maintain its legacy( As told to us by the manager, the place is 50 years old). The old and original place still remains up and running while the new extension ( with much more opulence) bowled us over with its food, service and ambience. A must visit place for sea food lovers. Worth the buck spent.

My all-time favourite spot in Goa! I’ve never missed eating here on any of my trips. The food is absolutely delicious — the Goan fish thali is authentic and a must-try. Crabs, fish, mussels, and prawns are all fresh and perfectly cooked. You can choose your sauce — my favourites are the butter garlic and lemon butter garlic preparations. The crab sukka is simply yumm, and don’t miss the apple pie with ice cream 👌. To go with it, I usually pick a No.7 wine, a draught beer, or their own Fat Fish Wit beer. It gets quite crowded on weekends, so reach early. Fish thalis are limited, so if you want one, make sure to be there before 2 PM!

The Experience was amazing at The Fat Fish in Goa! The fish there was absolutely tasty along with the chilli cheken and praws. The atmosphere and ambience is super, with a private dining room and a lot of lights. The service was fast, and the staff was polite. So Every thing here was 5 stars!
