Vasco's small family-run Royal restaurant is a home kitchen away from the home kitchen for office goers, who swarm here for cheap and tasty breakfast, snacks and lunch.
Royal restaurant is right opposite the Mormugao Port Authority in Sada, Vasco. Whether approaching from the Vasco city or Baina side, turn left after the Murgaocho Raja Ganesh pandal towards the main gate of Mormugao Port Authority. Just ahead of the gate, on the left, is Royal restaurant, run by wife and husband duo Madhuri and Madhu. It is always smiling Madhuri who mostly runs this small and homely eatery, with the help of Madhu and two always smiling women help.

Costs we paid: Fish thali Rs 150 each, prawns plate Rs 100
Vasco office goers like my friend Viola swear by this place’s home cooked food at affordable rates. There are just four tables at Royal restaurant. We arrived at 12.30 so we could be sure of a seat. Once the lunch bell sounds at the port authority, the lunch crowd will swell to the point where all tables are shared and there will not even be enough place inside Royal to stand and wait to eat.
We both are having the fish curry rice plate with kingfish today. We will also have some prawns. As we wait, the aromas of fish frying and the food being served from the topes in the kitchen is so appetising.
Our fish curry rice plate turned out to be a lovely nice homely lunch of cabbage bhaji, salad, kismur, fish curry and a nice piece of kingfish. We also had superb rawa fry prawns. The prawns were super juicy and delicious.
This small place refills your fish curry, bhaji, sol kari, if you ask. We find that in Goa, it is the smaller eateries that are the most generous in this respect.
The eatery’s timings cater to the office goers, with breakfast starting at 9 am with good options like ros omelette, pav bhaji, mushroom bhaji and sungta (prawn) bhaji. Lunch is from 1 to 4 pm and evening tea is also available till about 4 pm. Royal is closed for dinnertime.
All rice plates (thalis) including veg, chicken and fish are Rs 120. The kingfish thali alone is Rs 150. Which fish curry rice plates are available depends on market availability. Mostly bangdo (mackerel) is available everyday.
Our bill was just Rs 400. We paid Rs 150 each for the fish curry rice plate with kingfish, plus Rs 100 for the prawns.
After paying, I went to say a quick bye bye to the genius cooks in the kitchen and by the time I turned around, people who had sat at our table as soon as we got up, were already well into their meal. All in a matter of minutes.
After lunch, we went to the clifftop Japanese Garden in Headland Sada nearby, so we could digest our food, then get back to work. But our minds were still on the delicious meal we ate at Royal!
