- Today Maria and I are feeling extra hungry so we are crossing the Zuari river and going to Raikar Farm in our favourite Ponda taluka, where the food is very super tasty. We are really in the mood for some good fish curry rice.

Raikar Farm Restaurant and Bar
Near Shri Nagueshi temple, Donshivaddo, Bandora, Ponda
Google Maps location: maps.app.goo.g...
Tel: 09028465902
Timings: 12.30 to 3 pm; 7 to 11 pm; Mondays CLOSED
To get to Raikar Farm, head towards the Kashi Mutt in Bandora from Khadpabandh, Ponda. As we were coming from Margao along the Margao-Ponda-Panjim highway, we stayed below the flyover at Khadpabandh, turning left towards the Kashi Mutt. Continue straight past the mutt till you reach a T junction. This is Donshivaddo in Bandora. Here you will see signage for Shree Shantadurga temple on the left turn and Shree Nagueshi temple on the right turn. Turn right, and follow the road straight to Shri Nagueshi temple, less than half a kilometre away. Raikar Farm is right after the Nagueshi temple wall, on the left.
There is plenty of seating up front and in the back, in this popular eatery. We preferred the open air seating at back and on our way there, we got a sneak peek of what we were soon going to eat.
Behind the restaurant area is the Raikar Farm. When you spot tall areca palms after Nagueshi temple, you will know you have reached Raikar Farm. We had a pleasant stroll through the areca plantation, spotting banana, bay leaf and lime. And literally above all, the beautiful supari trees that are so iconic of Ponda.
We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Tanuja Pai Raikar, who showed us a glimpse of what we were about to eat: prawn curry rice, mix veg bhaji, sol kari and kismur. Shubhra, Mrs Raikar’s daughter, told us how quickly the restaurant has expanded in its short 12-year history. That can only mean the food is awesome, and in Ponda, that’s saying a lot
Today I'm having chonak thali and Maria is having prawns thali. We are also going to share one of our favourite dishes: a plate of teesrio sukha!
In Raikar's prawn thali, we have: prawn curry, mix veg bhaji, sal kari, dry mackerel kismur (after tasting we found it was mackerel kismur!), salad, pickle, rice and beautiful rawa fried prawns. My chonak thali has all the same, with a lovely piece of fried chonak.
Fantastic! Very tasty!
We really liked the food. Our stomach got full eating teesrios
Once again we are leaving Ponda and going home to Salcete with extremely satisfied stomachs. And we just want to tell Ponda and all Fondekars: where would we be without your culinary talents? We don’t want to even imagine a Goa like that. So thank you.

One thing we must appreciate in Goa that " All Goans are having integrity being Goan, they love and respect religion of each other, and celebrate all festivals in full of joy."
Feel proud of them. Keep it up👍
Definitely. We are proud of our composite culture. Unity in diversity!
Belated birthday wishes Lesley. I feel so happy and empowered watching the sisterhood, the friendship that I can't wait to get old to be too cool like you guys.
Thank you so much. We wish you sisterhood and women power ✊🏼
Happy Birthday! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!!
Hey Lesley.... it's so nice to see you enjoying your meal with bare hands
Thank you. Best way to eat fish curry rice kismur! 😋
What a wonderful compliment in the end.You guys are connoisseurs of food indeed.
Thank you. Ponda is truly special. Happy New Year! 🙏🏼
Happy Birthday Lesley! God bless you with good health and good wealth 😊 so that you may continue on your journey to showcase the excellent food and festivals of Goa. I am a vegetarian but I still watch your vlogs.

Thank you. So nice of you
Great video quality voice and family friends ❤❤❤ from vasco
Thanks so much!!

Definitely!
After seeing your videos Madam,I have fallen in love with Goa. Seriously thinking of relocating from Kerala to lovely Goa. Topography of both places is similar, however, Goa is quieter, with a rustic charm and not much hustle and bustle. And of course, Goan cuisine is a stand out.
We thank you for your kind words to Goa. Means a lot given how beautiful Kerala is
Your assessment of food is always nice, information about the location of the place is accurate, your presentation of the prog is good, pls do include pricing of the dishes in your videos or at least give us an indicative pricing so that people like me who travel to Goa just to enjoy food besides Feni and Urak know what to expect.
Thank you for your kind comment. In case price is not mentioned in the video subtitles, please see the first pinned comment or video description. Usually we give prices
Belated Happy birthday lesley... your videos are natural and one can relate to them😊

Lip smackingly good. We visit Ramnathi (our ancestral temple) in Bandora often but didn't know of this place. One more place added to the bucket list for our next visit 😀 We have visited SaiDatt Bhojanalaya (between Ramnathi and Shantadurga Temples) a couple of times - it's a small setup in a home verandah/balcao but their Fish Thali is amazing. Try it the next time you're in Ponda.
Hello there, yes, we love Sai Datt since long and it is on our list for a vlog
@@lesleyingoa Great to hear that, Thank you👍
Many happy returns of the day Lesley God bless
Thanks very much 🙏🏼

I learned this recipe with fish rawa fry. My wife likes Food made by me specially Goan food.
We both love Goa for People, Fish Thali, beaches, kayaking, swimming.
I had watched almost every video to make best Goan fish curry. I use original Goan ingredients to make it.
I am Govind.
May God give you all happiness and peace.....Happy Birthday.

Hi try Fish thali,Butter garlic calamari in The Fisherman's Balcao in Vagator and Prawn fried rice and Urrak is must try in The Klays restaurant in Vagator... These cute outlets are on the way to Vagator beach
Thanks for the tips!
@@lesleyingoa Let me know when you make a visit. Let me and my wife make first viewers of that video
Wish u a very Happy Birthday ma'am
Really beautiful video and thanks you for your kind review...please do visit again and try our other items as well....😊
I certainly will. Thank you for the lovely food!
You go to so many places saying it's delicious and all but why don't you finish your thalis. And then Maria has to finish your thali!
I had gastric bypass surgery which means I often cannot finish everything. In fact, forcing food down in order to finish is not the best thing for my health. But when I put non-food videos, people complain. So I'll eat how much I can and not more
Take care
A very mean comment
Best birthday wishes!! Cheers!! :)
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
Happy birthday !

Happy Birthday Lesley 🎉❤ I hope you’re gonna share your birthday vlog too 😊 God bless
