Absolutely wonderful - Edit
We ate at their branch in Palolem (that is now sadly closed) every meal of the day for 3 days. So fresh and full of flavour. Cosy atmosphere and great friendly staff! Cannot recommend enough!

Favourite place in Agonda besides the beach - Edit
I absolutely love this place🧡
Read moreThe interior is bright, the seating comfortable, the music on point, the menu extensive, the portions big, the food and drinks delicious and there is lots of greenery with the odd dog and cow. Great vibes allround.
Also, the service is impeccable; the guys working here are so incredibly kind and attentive!!
My favourite thing of their menu is the thali, it tastes super fresh and flavourful. Can be slightly on the salty side, maybe because I requested it spicy. It’s a big portion so do order when hungry
Other recommendations of mine are:
Mexican bowl (big portion)
Spring rolls
Raw lasagne (light dish, not so filling)
Quesadilla
Big brunch
Pink smoothie bowl
Smoothies
Juices
Kombucha’s (go with homemade not the bottles ones)
Golden latte
Snickers raw cheesecake
I’ve also tried and liked these (but didn’t love them as much as the dishes above)
Vegan grilled veg pizza
Jackfruit kathi roll (much of the same)
Mushroom toast (prefer the big brunch)
Breakfast burrito
Porridge (nice but nothing special)
Butterfly pea latte (have had nicer ones)
Only thing I would not order again was the raw pad thai, it didn’t have too much flavour so I’d prefer the raw lasagne.
I would definitely return to Agonda and Zest when back in Goa!

After REALLY good western-style vegan food?! - Edit
If you're craving some western-style vegan food, this is the place. It's not the cheapest, but great value for money when it comes to portion size and most of all, quality. You will not be disappointed. Even if you're just after an oat mylk latte (because soy milk is the work of the devil after all...!), you'll find a perfect one here.
Read moreWe rode scooters for an hour to get here and I'd do it all again, this place is a much-needed gem.
Staff are great, the surroundings and the toilet too.
Do yourself a flavour favour...
EDIT: We've just returned for a second visit here, and it's been even better than the first! So we've booked to stay at a little place within two minutes walk (Joy Boutique Guest House, the Galaxy Room and it's really nice too so I'd recommend staying there!) for at least a month.
Had the vegan thali this time and it was fantastic. There's lots of it, so value for money is right up there. Do it! 🤘

Pros: Proper quality western style vegan food, Huge menu with pretty much everything you crave!, Great value for money
Cons: Honestly, not one thing I didn't really enjoy.

Yummy breakfast - Edit
Had the vegan lunch which was really nice, especially the mushrooms!! It was quite busy when we were there so it took a while for our food to come and it’s a little expensive but nice

Vegan oasis in Agonda - Edit
My favorite place in Agonda with a very diversed menu and lots of vegan dishes and options. A bit pricey for India but this is explained by the quality of food and the great service. The place in itself is cozy with a lot of plants that hide it from the road. A must-go in Agonda!
Read morePros: Excellent vegan food, Friendly staff, Big portions
Cons: A bit pricey

Cozy atmosphere average food bad service - Edit
Have been here twice two days in a row. First time for dinner- we wanted salad with lots of greens. They were out of avocado and gave us the option to choose any substitute we like (tofu, beans, mushrooms). Then the salad came and apparently they were also out of green leafs since we both only had 4 (!) leafs of green, rest were different raw veggies, which don’t get me wrong it’s nice, but from a salad you expect more than 4 green leafs. Second time we came for breakfast. One of us took the vegan breakfast and asked if now they had avocado, the server said yes now they have it again. It turned out they didn’t - they just brought the plate with humus instead, when we told them they didn’t seem happy to change anything although we told them we specifically asked about the avo and would have chosen sth else instead. The Bircher muesli I had was good but didn’t come with the mentioned almond butter on top - we found out later that they didn’t have it anymore as we ordered banana ice cream which was supposed to come with peanut and almond butter. I had asked to please replace the peanuts with almonds and the server said that’s okay. Nevertheless We got the icecream with peanuts! Luckily we are not allergic but it’s just not cool that they don’t seem to really listen to the guests. One of the peanuts also seemed moldy (that’s not their fault but they could check while decorating the dessert).
Read moreThe good thing about this place is that it’s a nice place to chill, they have many options for vegans to choose from (including vegan pizza) and you can refill your water bottles for free so at least you save plastic, however I wouldn’t go here again after those two experiences. I prefer mandala cafe instead.
Pros: Water bottle refill, Many vegan options
Cons: Server don’t listen to what guest wants , Seem to be out of key ingredients a lot

not worth the money - Edit
the restaurant is beautiful but the food was not good. ordered the thai bowl and it was a watery thai curry with no flavour whatsoever, very dissapointed. the raw mango cheesecake was nice but arrived frozen and it was impossible to stick a fork into it. had to wait about 20mins before it was possible to eat it. overall very dissapointed and not worth the prices. try avocado garden further along the road, by far best vegan food in agonda.

This place looks welcoming and lovely. The previous day we had been to Zest at Palolem and loved the food. This place has better ambience and great food too. Try the quesidillas and the chocolate cake.
