Why it matters
Why Soul Kadi is worth your time
Goan fish curry and rice is the staple of the coast, and a thali is the fastest way to taste it. Mackerel, kingfish, chonak and prawns are common, served with sol kadi, a cooling kokum and coconut drink.
Eating it near the beach gives you the local food without leaving the sand. It is also a useful reminder that Anjuna is a Goan village, not just a party strip, and that the food of the region is built around fish, coconut and kokum.

Plan your visit
How to experience it
Come at lunch, when the fish is freshest and the thali is the simplest way to eat well. Order a fish thali or the chonak thali, and ask what is fresh before choosing. A Goan thali typically comes with rice, curry, fried fish, a vegetable dish and sol kadi.
If you want something different, the menu is broad, and listings mention cafreal, kebabs and North Indian dishes. For families, share one or two thalis and add a vegetable dish rather than ordering many plates.
Check the price before ordering seafood, especially in peak season, and confirm whether the thali is fixed or by weight. Allow time for a relaxed meal, as it can be busy at lunch.
