About Us
Discover Spice Goa, in Mapusa and Sangolda, North Goa, where warm hosting, fresh catch surprises, and in-house masalas carry the original taste of Goa, 25 years on.
Welcome to Spice Goa
Spice Goa began with a simple idea, if the sea is generous today, the plate should show it. Led by Atul and Aparna Shah, and now joined by their sons Rohan & Yash, we keep it hands-on with fresh catch chosen daily, masalas ground in-house, and traditional Goan cuisine cooked the way it should taste.
Across Mapusa and Sangolda, the soul stays the same, only the mood shifts. Mapusa is the original, local, and known for Goan thalis and meals that keep people coming back. Sangolda is calmer and more leisurely, set in a restored Goan-Portuguese home, with cocktails curated to pair beautifully with the food. Together, Spice Goa is counted among the best restaurants in Goa for traditional Goan cuisine done right.
Taste-first cooking, paired the right way
At Spice Goa, the focus stays where it should, on flavour. Traditional Goan recipes are cooked for taste, not for show, with balanced spice, careful technique, and time-intensive dishes many places skip, thickley, sukhe, pumpkin flower bhaji, lonche, and prawns wrapped in banana leaf. It is why guests call us the best seafood restaurant in North Goa, and count us among the best places to eat in North Goa.
At Spice Goa Sangolda, food-first thinking carries into the bar, with cocktails that revolve around Goa’s local ingredients and market-led freshness, crafted to complement the meal, alongside thoughtfully made mocktails. Rooted, refined, and quietly exciting.
