Okay, so I concentrated on the sea food, being goa and all. The dishes i tasted had flavour and spice, could do with a bit more zing to it (personal opinion). I think giving an option upfront would be good. I also think, it is a bit up on the pricy side. But, the important q is will i go back there again, Yes I want to try a couple of things more to satisfy my gastronomic urges !

The rooms were great and the stuff is very friendly and helpful.

Went to their restaurant/canteen. Viva la Viva or sumptin like that its called.Like all other Niwas canteens, its not very special i terms of the look n feel, but the owners have tried to make it special by adding knick knacks (chintz more like it), to give that Goa walla feelings the great north indian looks for.Typical to the point of being formulaic.Food wise, their menu is more true to Goan cuisine, though obviously mata ji wasnt on it. But types of and varieties of the types was seemingly plentiful.Taste n portions were good enough for one person (a hog like me, though felt it too little). The pao was fresh, and made the meal a whole lot more sumptuous.Service wasnt fast or slow, probably just right, and the staff demeanour wasnt overtly friendly nor was it any less.Dont know how theyd fare during the peak summer months, as the air con looked positively dilapidated.Nice place to go to, should you crave inexpensive sea food. (watch Seaspiracy on Netflix)

Low cost,Great South Indian Meal Experience😋

Very quite, good service

Visited eating joint at Goa Niwas for some yummy seafood. Tried prawn peri peri with pav, king fish rava fry, sol curry and goan coconut prawn curry with Rice. The restaurant was open for lunch but empty. Still Delhites have not come out of covid pandemic. Food was very tasty, typical konkani but priced at higher side. With three persons our bill was 2500 bucks which is very high I think. All foods were freshly prepared. However I missed the taste of Panaji. Staff were very cooperative and polite. There is ample parking space inside. Worth a visit though costly.Rating 4/5.Sadly restaurant in Odissa niwas has been closed which was its competitor for prawns and seafish though with different type of preparation.

Best experience

Nice ambience. Located in diplomatic area. Authentic cuisine. Helpful staffBut no alcohol ☺

Authentic Goan food. A must visit for sure.

Ok.. Not great. Decent location. You can find better hotel rooms at similar tariff. Cant shift to another room ; one has to stay in the allotted room even if your room smells

We went to the restaurant within Goa Niwas in Chanakyapuri for lunch. The place has a nicely done carnival type setting. The food (fish curry, fry) was fresh and tasty. The desserts were unique and sumptuous too.

Had a semi official breakfast. It was fun and we got to meet an official in a hurry. Its fun.

Best place to stay..college tour lots of memories 2013 unforgatble day

Must try Prawns and Pina Colada drinks.It should be open next month most likely!!

Nice and peaceful place for people in the transit. Not open for public though. There is parking available. People are friendly across the property. It has 18 double bed rooms, four dormitories and four VVIP suites besides a conference hall and a swimming pool. The tariff for a non-official member is Rs 1500 per person per day.

Nice place for stay.

Nice and comfortable place to stay.

Nice and clean place located at heart of Delhi

Here is a taxi stand and a PVR near to it

Neat and clean rooms but the interior needs to be renovated as it is old school. Bed sheets were also old. They should improve some quality of bedsheets, pillow covers and towels as it is maintained by Goa government. Swimming pool is also not in use. Building is of good quality just this small small things which needs to be taken care of. One thing I would like to take up is that bigger size TV is not available here. 17 led is available. They must put 32 TV. No AC remote available as it is central AC.Restaurant is maintained by Goan which is not in proper state. All his person belongings are kept in the restaurant area and it is not not properly maintained. You will get good fish items but vegetarians please stay away from this. Tea and coffee are good.

It would seem you have entered a gaint size hall with every color that you can spot is already there in your view. A place for seafood lovers. However, our expectations were a bit high than what it was for butter garlic prawns or the coconut curry. Prices are not pocket-friendly. Visit here if youre looking forward to a quiet and peaceful lunch.

As soon as you entered the restaurant you get the feeling that you are in Goa itself.The place is so colourful.Has each and every ingredient to feel you mesmerized.Icing in the cake is the quality of food .I have been to Goa twice before.But I never found the quality which this Goa niwas restaurant is offering.Worth trying.Get your kids there . They will enjoy more than you there.And dont forget to order chocolate pudding at the end.

Very good sea food. Ambience of the restaurant inside Goa niwas is also very good

Amazing ambience, food is tasty. Wonderful service. Price is on a higher side. But you wont regret paying!! Enjoy

Hi, you will find this place as if a mini Goa. For some time you will forget that you are in Delhi. The food is good, testy and authentic. The menu is displayed in a board and the decoration is interesting as if no body is taking care and its just natural. Children will defenightly enjoy so also elders. Two girls managed the restaurant. Cost is fine. If you love see food then this is an another option for you to try.

Great decoration for Christmas and New Year Eve. Food was very tasty.. Had fish rawa fry.. loved it!! Crab soup was awesome as well.. had it for the first time ever

We visit viva o viva, the restaurant at Goa niwas couple of times a year. We have never been disappointed. Warm yet unobtrusive service, great food, no fuss homely ambience.Will go back again and again.

In the event that you need a spot of Goa to break the ordinary dreariness, Goa Niwas Viva O Viva is the spot for you this end of the week. With bright green and yellow tablecloths and a whiteboard with the days specials composed on it, youll feel like youre at the occasion goal. The Butter Garlic Prawn and the Prawn Peri are droolworthy. Utilize the delicate pao to wipe up the sauce. The Pork and Crab Xacuti are fortes and dont pass up their chocolate pudding regardless of how full you are.Most recommended - Butter Garlic Prawn

For sea food lovers.. this the best place to feel n eat goa dishes.. good options for veggies also... You can enjoy with little once.. they have small area for kids.. from little onces to toddler.. must try pinna colada... Paneer dish...

Always a good and clean place to stay! When you are away from home.The food is amazing, typical home cooked goan style! Staff is good.

I was very excited to visit this place as I had heard that the butter garlic prawns were amazing here. So I tried that and bebinca. The prawns were alright in taste, the presentation was really average, bebinca was good but again, the presentation was average. Overall the ambience of the place was cool but was very messy and the food items here were a little expensive.

Good service, excellent food. Comfortable rooms.

Amazing dining place with goan food, dont wait to ask the pickle, the ambiance is like your own living room, staff is decent and serviceing is fast. Manager is also very courteous. Very much recommended.

The prawns here are amazing!! Tried the bibinca for the first time, loved it! The ambience is very cozy and warm. Great place for a family dinner or lunch.

Little goa in Delhi.Proper Goan food Im cheap rates.Bonus: A different dessert menu each day of the week.

Great food and a laid back casual place for weekend family outing

Very nicely done up and a decorated place. . . (Since we visited just after new years)Very good food. . . Courteous staff. . .those who like goan preparations must try this out

If you want to have authentic goanese food this is the place. Starting from pork vindalu to calamari the food is superb with very reasonable prices

Very nice place

Amazing atmosphere with delicious food. Must to visit for food lovers.

The best SEA food in this part of the country. FRESH.... Loved it. A must visit. Will recommend to all Fish eaterians and lovers of Goan food... What a feast...

The restaurant is small, cramped yet cosy and comfortable. Worth a visit, especially if you dig sea food.

The Vindaloo is to die for. If you dont eat pork then try the chicken or the mix veg one. They are both amazingly authentic.

Not all dishes are great. Expensive sea food. Priced as much as any fancy restaurant outside.

Food was just ok. Nothing great at the price. However what we really liked that they had a small space dedicated for kids toddlers to be engaged in. Thoughtful.

The Goa Niwas has a state canteen which serves awesome goan food. Check for some exotic and tasty fish at affordable prices in a nice ambiance. Service is good.

Peri Peri Prawn is a must try here. The place felt nice away from the crowd. There were some decorations along with some Portugese/Spanish music to get the Goa vibe. Food was a little costly though compared to the service and satisfaction.

A bit expensive, but worth a try for all sea food lovers..its like sitting on a goan beach with nice soothing music..with lots of varieties of food to try around. Worth a visit. It is just behind Bihar niwas.

Beautiful House for stay to the people who are authorized to use it, quality of food is very good,as told by my Goa friends that seafood quality is also very good.where the house situated ie Chanakya is very nice area of New Delhi,no noice pollution,lowest air pollution,etc.

A Good place to be at, Fancy dishes and nicely decorated food items. It was good experience overall. The service was quick and it was not very expensive. Its famous for Sea/Goan food.

Awesome food. A must watch. But dont get shocked at the scattered random props.

Worse food worse decor like dump yard and very expensive pls. Do t go

Lovely food! Typical Goan ambience. I keep visiting regularly

Lovely place with reminiscences of Goa. And they have actually given it an ambiences of the shacks at the beach at their restaurant viva o viva. Loved it...

Today i had been to this placeeven though it doesnt give any sophisticated looks, it is a good place to be in.food is okaythe personal attention given by the staff needs a mention.i was shocked to see a small piece of soap (cake) kept in the hand wash area.i havent see this in any decent restaurant in Delhi

Wonderful place to visit and have some good Goan food. The interior is very beautiful which gave me feel like I was in a home near the beach with many types of hats and caps kept along with objects like surfboard, wall decoratings all around. The food was also equally very good especially the Pao bread and puddings which were the best I liked. Only thing is I found the price was high. Also to mention their butter garlic prawn which had flavor of mint/pudina was so refreshing. The service was also good. Overall, must recommended for atleast one time visit.

Great ambience and clean place at the heart of Delhi. It houses a great seafood restaurant. Food is fabulous and not pricey. The desserts are too delicious.

Nice place to have lunch. Plus the decor was great. Had a real Goan shack feel to it

Very nice place and staff is really good and helpfull

Nice place for sea food lovers. It is located in Chanakyapuri. Safdarjug Railway station and Rajasthan Guest house are close by.There is a big hall in Goa Niwas where one can have delicious food, especially sea food. Proper seating arrangement is there.In addition , they also provide beverages as per availability.My experience was very nice. Staff serves food in short time. The price is also affordable.It has big, tall and beautiful building, as it was constructed a few years back only.

Outstanding Goan food on the menu at extremely reasonable prices. Will visit again at the earliest opportunity.

Nice ambience. Fish cutlets and Peri Peri prawn was good. Vehicle can be parked inside the compound. Expensive.

The prices on the menu were so reasonable, but the portion of every dish was small. So, its just fair, not so-called good c/p ratio.Anyway, the food was fresh, authentic, and delicious.

Had a great xmas day with my buddy..delicious food and service..prawns were really superb..its a must try dish..great music and ambience..really loved it

Great authentic goanese food

Perfect place to go to if you have the palate for sea food ;)

Best service given by staff, pure goan experience and food also truely goan.

Very good ambience.. authentic Goan food. Staffs are very friendly and helpful...

A good place for Goan dinning....most of the mocktails and cocktails are available...it costs a bit more bucks but food is too good if you would like to prefer sea foods... vegetarian food is also available.. surrounding area is quite clean and hygienic.. ..

Very good authentic Goan cuisine. We had Prawn curry, sardine curry and pomphret masala fry. All were equally good. Prices are a bit high but you wont mind paying premium as the quality is too good.

Good stay.. clean and convenient

Sooo sorry for posting half eaten food...But was so famished and the food tasted so delicious that I couldnt resist myself

Great food. Good tasty flavour.Slow service though. Be prepared for cash payment demand higher than listed prices on wall board menu as an unpleasant surprise.

Great ambience. Great food.

Trully Goan

Very good location. Needs good maintenance program, restaurant ambience can be improved.

Great vibe, great staff, great food and a friendly dog.

Awesome Space and food...Great place to be with family and friends. Ambience is authentic Goan. Keep it up.

Also known as Goa bhawan. Do give a visit to their canteen just to enjoy some really good Goan food.

Very nice place

Well Maintained Goa Govt House.

You will find a good Goa restaurant in this Niwas. Home away from home.

It was a nice experience. Nice place to stay for a couple of days

The place is nice , you will feel the vibes of Goa but food doesnt match that much.

I like

Authentic food and ambience. Prawn rawa masala and fish were too tasty

A place to have a romantic date..quaint n calm ambience, Soothing goan special music, posh location and fingerlicious food. what else do you need for a superb dinner. :)

A homely place, with good food and desserts.

Nice food. Nice ambience. Value for money. Cheers !

Love the Goan restaurant here! Food is great

Food is good but did not like the ambiance of the restaurant

Shabby interior.food was nice but highly priced.

Authentic Goa taste but price is bit high.....

Clean and tidy place to stay, only thing is the non goans who say makes a mess of it. They keep the lights & A/C on through the day and dont even bother to put it off.

Beautiful restaurant...Food, probably i could not choose good stuff. If u love goan cuisine you will have good time here.

Decent food. Interesting ambience but was empty on Thursday evening

Good place but Ill maintained

We went for lunch, Service is very slow. Serving portions are very small. The prices of all food items are very high. Overall if eating alone than its okay. But for larger groups choose another place. For a group of four people our bill touched 6000 rupees.

Decent enough place to visit and have some good Goan food. Nothing spectacular though!

It will burn a hole in your pocket, food is good
