When one dish just isn’t enough to capture the kaleidoscope of flavours Goa has to offer, the Patrao Thali steps in like a true hero. A feast in every sense, this 14-item extravaganza from The Goan Room features everything from prawn curry and Crab Sukha to Fish Ambotik, Tisryo Sukha, Kismoor, Kokum Curry, Goan bhaji and more.
Topped off with rice, salad, pickle and a traditional Goan sweet dish, the Patrao Thali is a joyful celebration of the State’s culinary treasures — all served on a single plate.
Tucked away in the charming locale of Dona Paula, The Goan Room is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience.

With a deep-rooted passion for their homeland, the duo set out to create a space where locals and travellers, alike, could savour authentic Goan flavours in a warm, homey setting.

The cozy seating and soft lighting enhance the welcoming ambience, making every visit feel like a trip to a Goan home.
The Goan Room offers a delightful culinary journey that masterfully blends traditional Goan recipes with the ever-popular Indian-Chinese fusion dishes that have become staples in local dining.
