And the moral of the above story is , if your tone deaf or stone deaf, then Why Not on a Monday night is the place for you !

That said, some years ago in a south goa hotel restaurant a middle aged Russian man sang Russian folk songs including kalinka and it was amazing. Also it had the good result that nobody else could sing as the audience wouldn't let him go!!!

Some of my friends think the Why Not is wonderful but I ate there (with some of said friends) two or three times last season and was not impressed by their food or the entertainment.

Re: Dodgy Restaurants in Goa.
We tried to get into Why Not, near the temple in Calingut,for their famous fish & Chips, which my wife likes but i cannot stand bloody Basu as i find it chewy and bland. Anyway it was Karaoke open mike night and just our luck as we entered the door a big fat women grabbed the mike and the sound that came out reminded me of an old Massey Fergusson Tractor changing gears....... we fled to Spice Oven in Arpora and to my suprise i found their Steak Pie completely wonderful....just a few chips lots of gravy and at 300 rupees not bad.Bit pricey but not bad.

For some unfathomable reason we ate at Prashants from his chinese selection and it was absolutely horrible.Do not know what the cook was thinking but if i was Prashant the first thing i would do is look for a new cook because the one he has is complete rubbish. Burgers and chips yes, cooking good food NO !

Isthis the place they call halfway house ?
If so you will only find it packed most nights and the food is some of the best in Goa for English food
I alway recomend that my friend eat there before they fly home
I would not call this a dodgy restaurant far from it

The English food is quite good in there but for some reason the chinese food was not up to their good standards. Maybe the cook was having a bad cook day i dont know.Have ate there quite a number of times and its usually very good, in fact there Christmas Dinner menu today is very good.Will have to have a word with the boss to sort things out.

Re: Dodgy Restaurants in Goa.
I have never been a big lover of Fire and Ice But my friend told me that there was a new Fire and Ice in Calangute next to Why Not and opp Falcon Resort and he had be told by a UK butcher that this was some of the best steak he had ever had
Well i thought ok we will give it a try again you never know
WRONG food was horrible service was terrible had to ask for the bill 6 times because the only person that could do the bill was busy chatting up some girls
avoid this place at all costs

Sai Restaurant in Arpora has closed down for some mysterious reason. Wonder if that local gangster who opened next door has put the frighteners on them ?

Re: Dodgy Restaurants in Goa.
Has been more than a few years since i visited Goa. I used to stay 6 months at a time in a private apartment at Donna alcina, not sure if it still open etc. their roof top restaurant overlooking the pool was good.
Out of the Donna alcina turn left cross the road after dodging the sleeping water buffalo(after dark) to the Spice Garden. Owned by a Goan who played his rugby at wasps, married to an Austrian lady who did the cooking whilst he pretended he was Elvis
not cheap but food was great

Re: Dodgy Restaurants in Goa.
Sai's closed down in March for 'refurbishment' and shortly before they did some friends ate there having eaten there occasionally throughout the season but that time they said the food was dreadful and they could not eat it.
