If you’re looking for an authentic Goan culinary experience, away from the commercial chaos, Bhumiputra Restaurant, in Pernem, might just be your perfect weekend escape.
More than just a restaurant, Bhumiputra is a tribute to Goa’s heritage, flavours and community spirit. Tucked away amidst nature, this unique dining destination brings together traditional Goan recipes, fresh local seafood, and a serene atmosphere that lets you truly unwind.
WHAT'S IN A NAME
The name Bhumiputra means ‘son of the soil’ — a fitting title for a place that embodies everything Goan.
“We wanted to create a space that feels proudly local — honouring our land, our traditions, and our flavours,” shares founder Saish Gopal Parsekar, a passionate Goan entrepreneur. “The name symbolises authenticity, simplicity and our love for everything Goan.”
This deep-rooted connection to local culture isn’t just symbolic — it runs through every dish, every spice blend and every detail of the restaurant.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Bhumiputra started off as a dream to offer diners a quiet space, in the midst of nature, where they can enjoy authentic Goan seafood and multi-cuisine dishes.
What began modestly in Pernem has now expanded into a full-fledged weekend destination. From a mini banquet hall for family events to the open-air Sky Dine experience and cosy Bhumiputra Stays, the restaurant continues to grow, without losing its signature charm and warmth.
RAVAN THALI: A FEAST FIT FOR ROYALTY
One of Bhumiputra’s biggest crowd-pullers is its legendary Ravan Thali, a massive seafood platter featuring 12 plus Goan delicacies.
“Inspired by the mythical king, Ravan, the thali celebrates the richness and complexity of Goan seafood,” explains the team. With its royal presentation and unbeatable value, this thali has become a go-to for seafood lovers and those seeking an extraordinary culinary experience.
LOCAL SOURCING, TRADITIONAL COOKING
To maintain the restaurant’s mantra of authenticity, all seafood is sourced fresh daily from local fishermen, and produce is picked from nearby markets and farms.
The use of traditional spices and Goan marinades ensures each bite is packed with authentic, local flavours.
Preparations like Xitt Kodi, recheado, Ambotik and Tisryanche Sukhe are lovingly prepared using age-old techniques, some passed down through generations.
“Authenticity is key,” says the kitchen team. “We don’t cut corners when it comes to flavour.”
GOAN HOSPITALITY MEETS NATURAL BEAUTY
Dining at Bhumiputra is an experience in itself. Surrounded by greenery and open skies, the restaurant offers an inviting, rustic charm with a touch of elegance.
Whether you’re lounging in the Sky Dine area under the stars or enjoying a family meal in the garden section, the vibe is calm, warm and very Goan.
“More than just a meal, we offer a relaxing escape,” shares Saish. “We want people to leave with happy hearts and full stomachs.”
