Review Three Kisses Bar & Restaurant - Benaulim

This 30 plus year old restaurant has that relaxed and laid-back vibe. We visited on a lazy Sunday afternoon just to grab a couple of beers! What We Loved the most about this place is that they have kept the old school charm alive. Staff is good too. Couldn't try the food, but the menu has a great variety. Will definitely visit again.

Three Kisses originally opened its doors in 1992; it was the first restaurant I tried in Benaulim, Goa, and it was well worth the wait. The restaurant is full of clever remarks and delicious meals. Try it out if you haven't already, and don't forget to order the Crab (it's THE BEST).

The warm hospitality, Goan food that makes the heart smile..and special concocted drinks.. what can one wish for. Intentionally not put photos of food, you need to experience that! The host Tino, a doting father and a great host I must say was an exceptional individual.

It is easily one of the places with great food around this area in Benaulim. Friendly and warm owner , service persons too were prompt and friendly. We were a group of 6 and tried many of their dishes. The Ros omellete , steaks, Spanish omlette, French toast etc.. are amazing! So is the Goan fish thali. Can't miss that. The ginger feni is a must try if you are interested in trying good quality Feni..we also tried saunf feni and cardamom feni too. They were great as well! You can also ask them to suggest for something that suits your interests and owner will be happy to suggest. One thing that can be improved to make this a 5 star rating is to get rid of the house flies around some tables. It can spoil the mood of a good meal. Otherwise a great place and will definitely recommend to others too :)

The place is very awesome. This was my second visit to the place and the food is still the same. The owner is very friendly and he also rescues cats&dogs. The food was very great. Must try their thalis as they serve goan special food in the thali.

'Three Kisses' is an absolute gem for anyone looking to savor authentic Goan cuisine. From the mouthwatering pork chops to the delectable seafood dishes, this eatery truly captures the essence of Goan flavors. The homemade feny cocktails and drinks add an extra layer of delight to your dining experience, perfectly complementing the rich and flavorful dishes. The friendly staff and cozy ambiance makes it a must-visit for both tourists and locals alike. Whether you're a seafood enthusiast or a lover of pork dishes, Three Kisses will leave your taste buds tingling with delight.

Excellent fish thali and service. Also had a special drink recommended by the host. All in all great food.

This place needs all the attention and appreciation it deserves. I loved their service, the owner tinho was such a great and warm host and he seems to have a great taste for music 😉 He makes his own fenny drinks and he has a lota variety from coconut fenny to cashew fennys to try from and i must they were soo delicious. Food is the most authentic of the goa cuisine and I must say it was hands down the best French fries i have tasted anywhere. Excellent taste and ambience with a very cozy and quite set up , so much so that I made it a point to come back for lunch on two consecutive days. I miss Three Kisses and would love to visit again.

Heading to Benaullim? Check out this small, simple restaurant with a funny bone and a big heart. I visited quite by chance and only tried two items (Rava Fry Mussels and Pork Sorpotel) and they were both up to the mark. The menu also has several Continental options to suit the European palate, and they make their own feni! It’s pet-friendly, and through talking to the owner during my late afternoon meal there, I found out that he does a lot of commendable work for animal welfare. This no-frills restaurant is extremely casual and with the great hospitality you will feel like you’re dining at a friends house. Follow thatgoangirl for more great food options in Goa

It's a secluded place near Benaulim. Good Food but need to give more quantity. And a bit costly,

The best one to hang out with friends and family they have so many options to.choose from starts with the seafood menu and ends up in variety options of Beef and pork items....and it tastes delicious too the rates are all reasonable service is great and the environment feels so calm and pleasent to chill here.... overall the best.....

We had a lunch to remember at this place. The food was beyond excellent and I actually felt bad when I saw the bill as it didn't make justice to the meal we enjoyed. The restaurant is a must try if you are in the Colva/Benaulim area. There is homemade cashew fenny and we tried the Elaichi flavoured one. For lunch we had fish thali, cafreal and sanna. Everything left its own lasting impression.

We discovered this place just by chance and decided to stop over for lunch after reading the reviews. It was our veg day, but the food didn't disappoint even about. We tried the Mushroom crumb fry and the veg sizzler. Both amazingly tasty, so if anyone s looking around for a veg meal, surely the place to go. Lovely rustic place to hangout. Coming back for some goan seafood tomm 😁

Sunday afternoons are reserved for 'Fish Thalis' so we looked up for a place on google and found this cute, cool and cozy goan restaurant in Benaulim which had 4* ratings by numerous visitors who were raving about their goan food and we were definitely not let down. The minute u see this place, you feel peace ! Greenery all around overlooking lush fields and chill vibe, pet friendly and delicious food. 😋 The owner Tinho is such a down to earth, warm person who instantly makes you comfortable and treats u like home guest 😍 We tried their non veg thali which had chicken xacuti, beef roast, pork amsol, fish fillet, rice, prawn curry, pickle and jalebi, chonak fish thali comprised of rice, prawn curry, fish fillet, crab xec xec, tisreo, kismoor, pickle and jalebi and the quantity of each item was so much that we couldn't finish the whole thali and packed some. Squid butter garlic was another awesome dish. They even have their own homemade feni infused with some whole spices which has a totally different taste. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in south goa.

If you are looking for a pet friendly place this is the right place for you. we had breakfast there the food was great and the owner made the effort to fetch fresh avocados for me. They rescue animals and pet them. It felt really great. Overall a good experience.

If you are in Goa you gotta give them a visit. Their starters are amazing. Chicken lollipop, Chicken Manchurian, Cafreal, Crispy Chicken and Pork sausage chilly. Vindaloo cooked with Kokum was simply heavenly. The fish thali was amazing! It has fish rawa fry, prawn gravy, dry prawns, clams in Cafreal masala, Crab Masala, Kokum drink, jalebi and rice. Each and every item was mind blowing in taste. They serve the tastiest food in Goa for sure. It is located close to Benaulim beach and Taj property. Mr. Tinho and team is very polite and courteous. Would definitely recommend and come back once again.

Good food and ambience . Avoid having the pork crispy fry .

This restaurant does not serve typical Goan food but a imitated version.<br/>Seating is ok. Many foreigners were around. No ambience .<br/>The menu is priced a bit high for the type of food they serve. Including the drinks is priced high<br/>Even after telling the waiter to cook the pork tender it was not done.<br/>Not worth visiting.

We just stumbled upon this place while looking for places to have an evening snack and have a few drinks. We saw this place and at once felt good about the ambience.<br/><br/>It's a small place with cozy lighting and casual seating.<br/>The owner is really friendly and warm.<br/><br/>We ordered masala rawa fry kingfish, one spinach cheese omelette and fries. Everything tasted good. Very quick service! Long island iced tea was good too! There are a lot of cats and dogs sheltered around the property. So it was a plus for me!<br/><br/>Overall great ambience, great music and good food. Will come back for sure!!

Awesome taste loved it

Excellent food, Excellent Ambience, Excellent service,<br/>Owner of the Restaurant switched on the cooler specially for us<br/>He switched on the TV also specially for us as it was India's semi final cricket match<br/>Very good deed<br/>Lots of variety both veg and non veg food ,starters and main course<br/>If u want typical Goan food, go to this place,<br/>Owner of this Restaurant will help you to choose Ur order<br/>His recommendation is really correct and good<br/>Fish is excellent,lots of variety.<br/>Goan food really excellent<br/>Drinks also lots of variety<br/>Service also very quick and fast.<br/>Very courteous Owner and staff

We love local authentic Goan food, and always try to search for gems in the vicinity of wherever we stay on vacation. We were staying at the Taj Exotica, and found Three Kisses from our searches online (we ended up having a meal here everyday when we were staying at the Exotica). The dishes include a wide variety of local foods (including chorizo, seafood and meats), and this being a small, family-owned place, the owner will happily modify the dishes to suit your palette. If you like pets, you will notice a bunch of dogs and cats on the premise who are friendly, but not bothersome.<br/>Tip: If you are staying at the Taj, use the back gate, which is about a 100 meters from the restaurant.

Very friendly staff. Good food and overall very good vibes. Also the ambiance is nice. Everyone looking for a chilled out time should visit here.

Been here 4-5 times now. This place is nestled in azy corner of benaulim, just besides Taj. Itsually delivers with really yummy food. The owner is very kind and suggests dishes and the catch of the day.<br/>Tht best dishes are the stuffed mushrooms, their squids, the red snapper in butter garlic sauce.<br/>Prices are also very reasonable here.<br/>

Waking up late after a long night, we were in search of a place to grab a bite. This restaurant caught our attention because of it's unusual name.<br/><br/>We drove through the narrow village roads to find it tucked away just opposite Taj Exotica. On first glance, we loved how homely the place looked. We didn't expect much. Oh how wrong we were!<br/><br/>This place is a hidden gem. Overlooking the fields, this place gives you a different vibe, unlike those typical shacks by the beach. And they have great music playing in the background too. Susegad and how!<br/><br/>We visited this place on two consecutive days during our 3-day stay. We ordered:<br/>🍽️ Big Breakfast<br/>🍽️ Fried Bombay Duck<br/>🍽️ Prawns Tandoori<br/>🍽️ Fish & Chips<br/>We also had a couple of beers and hookah to go along with the food.<br/><br/>The food is simple, homely. The flavors are spot on. Goan food in all it's glory!<br/><br/>The man behind this place, Mr. Tinho, is what sets this restaurant apart. He'll come to every table, recommend what to have and even tweak the flavours to suit your taste buds. Special thanks to this guy for helping us find the best Goan sausages in South Goa.<br/><br/>We just didn't want to leave this place. Our stomachs were full, our hearts, even more.<br/><br/>Three Kisses, you'll always be on my list of top places in Goa, forever!

A true cheap and cozy restaurant. Great food for great prices. Must have tandoori items and chinese starters. <br/>We loved their fried prawns too. They have a very friendly staff and cats. <br/>

Its too good restaurant. Owner is very friendly. Taste of food is awesome. Typical goan food is very nice . A cost effective hotel. Visited thrice over there

A quintessential small joint which could be a near miss unless you venture out with a specific agenda to dine at this place.<br/>We were living at a close by resort but decided to experiment with the food here. No regrets. A small joint with natural surroundings, good music and food food. I opted for the fresh catch of the day. It was a well done tandoori pomfret. Cooked to perfection.<br/>The prawns in rechad masala was also a killer. Reasonably priced and a good place to go if you can make it. The owner is friendly and staff is prompt and attentive.

I n my family visited this restaurant on a request from my friend. A cosy little place owned by a goan. Simple food we ordered. .masala fried prawns....amazing . Crab xec xec n prawns curry rice with okara. ....simply the best goan food we had on our vacation. ..been there twice .for sure we will be back

A fantastic place to go to if you really wanna have a great time! Good music, great drinks & amazing food! Stays open all year so is an absolute treat if you’re in South Goa! Do try the king fish, tiger prawns, chicken 65 and tandoori chicken while you’re there! And last but not the least Tino - the owner of the place, is an excellent host ❤️

Had a wonderful lunch at three kisses. great music and awesome goan food. Highly recommended for chilling out within budget. I would recommend prawns rava masala fry and goan fish curry rice.

Excellent food,seafood and typical Goan food is wonderful,only thing is they have no dessert other than that an excellent experience and I look forward too coming back again

well worth the money. very accommodating staff too. situated close to some hotels and also close to the beach. had nice English music playing when we went

Nice place on a alof road, can go there only if you know the place. Had red snapper fish tandoori it was one of the most amazing fish I had on this trip. As the place is close to swamp, mosquito were abundant. Decor is offbeat, but the cook is amazing and the fish is fresh.

wonderful homecooked delicacies. the owners mum is the head chef. it is very family friendly. has a russian speaking steward. and some russian style dishes as well

Took my friends for a treat here.cool place with locals, westerners n Indian tourist. Go an food a must try here. Fish is soon fresh. Really in love with this place

Cozy and calm place with great food at cheap rate!!!! Would suggest anything apart from Chinese over here.Krishna over here will take care of all your needs.

Authentic Goan food. Good friendly guy and Goan Dhaval ambience. We loved the food and had a meal here everyday for a week. If you are looking at Goan experience then you will not be disappointed.

We tasted the Cafreal Chicken Dish. Only would request to sweeten the chicken a bit more. Others were all good and decent dishes.😊😋🍗. The place needed some cleaning as there were insects. Very nice restraunt.But could change the name. The name sounds quite cheap.<br/>

Flies everywhere , No Fans . So hot you cant enjoy the food . Place isnt clean . No adequate staff to cater to the load . Took one hour to serve starter . Wow .

In Goa there are good eateries and there are not so good eateries. There are not so good eateries on the main roads and there are good eateries tucked in some unknown corner of the world called oblivious Vaddos. Finding these places are like Eureka Moments.<br/>The beauty about these places are that even if the food is not up to your expectations, you can't miss going there. Just keep your "foodie expectations" low.<br/>One such place is "3 Kisses". The name might amuse you but this is Goa and expect such colorful names.<br/>This place is located behind the great wall of the fort called "Taj Exotica" Fatrade beach road, Benaulim, South Goa.<br/>The Goan food is good, more because of the chilled out atmosphere.<br/>We ordered Bombil Rawa fry which came fried in mustard oil and gave out a very different taste than usual. It was very good.<br/>Chicken chilly fry Goan style was well prepared with the perfect blend of chilly and onion masala.<br/>Prawn curry rice was a typical Goan affair.<br/>Overall, the food was excellent accompanied with a very strong Urak.<br/>Don't expect good indian food here.<br/>A typical by-the-village-road eatery.<br/>You need to visit it to feel it.<br/>Susegad feeling and how.

The best sea food I have had.<br/>The crab xacuti was an absolute delight. We had asked them to make it spicy and it was perfect. The prawns peri peri was so damn yum. I wish I could have all my meals there. Not too heavy on the pocket as well. Must visit.

If you want authentic local food then there are very few places left in Goa which are accessible to tourists. Luckily Three Kisses is still going strong !<br/><br/>They make great seafood any style you prefer -whether local Goan,  Indian, or more European/world cuisine style. The best part is that everything is fresh and they do not overcharge you unlike many other places. One of the few places where you have a wonderful meal and then don't do a double take at the bill.<br/><br/>The setting is not on the beach but its still lovely with a nice garden overlooking a field, just 100m from the beach.<br/><br/>We visit here on every trip to Goa and intend to keep doing so.

Food excellent cooked to your own taste at goan prices very popular with tourists and locals take away service promt and of restaurant quality ... Mr. Neshban is very friendly and very helpful to choose food.Mr. barsath Rai is awesome cook...Amruta Raje Surinder Bodh Phunkyarpa

Most kind hearted staff .. A must visit for all foodies in Goa! Its moms cooking what more can you ask for .. The good people there make it very clear that they and mom specialize in goan food

The best Goan food I've ever had. The owner cooks dishes according to your likes and dislikes, and still manages to nail the flavours. Worth every minute you spend here.

Small place not a fine dine restaurant but the food is awesome, we had prawns in peri peri sauce and it was out of the world... The chef asked us if we want to try some authentic goan food and he gave us the best goan Curry I ever had . this is a must visit place for a food lovers.

I feel so blessed to have visited this awesome place on a close friend's recommendation. Truly it was a treat. Amazing food and a completely informal casual yet comfortable ambience and that finger licking food that this place has to offer shall become one of your most cherished part of your stay at Goa. My favourite on the menu is the pork vindaloo with the prawn masala fry and the crab dish with a beer. Go grab these!.

Awesome Finger Licking Sea Foods!!<br/><br/>We came upon this shack while searching for a Goan Cuisine while in Varca. Though in pictures it looked shady, but soon the misconceptions were washed away when we visited this shack.<br/><br/>A nice quaint shack next to Taj Exotica. We asked for suggestions for the best Goan Food they can offer. <br/><br/>They suggested us to take Prawn Masala Rawa Fry, Pork Vindaloo and Crab Xacxac (pronounces as shakshak) with a plate of Rice. Each and every dish I must say was heavenly, and just melted in our mouth.<br/><br/>The owner and the staffs are very friendly and always there with a smile :)<br/><br/>Would love to visit there again :)

This place is located just besides the boundary wall of Hotel Taj in Benaulim. A quiet and solace place to be. The owner himself is very welcoming and courteous. He is willing to accommodate demands if any in a very polite and humble manner. We happened to visit this place on learning that these guys serve shish of which my friends were fond of, so this place. So went here on a pleasant evening, had some shish some sea food which was good. Oh yes, this place is super-duper cheap.

Relaxing in Goa means having good food. Food here is amazingly prepared and the ambience too is excellent with a windy location adding to its beauty. Do have fish curry and fish starters. :-) <br/>Three kisses to three kisses!!! ;-)

Loved this place, went here for dinner and breakfast. The fish and chips was awesome,also the watermelon margarita was one of the best I've ever had. Will definitely go back

You get fresh seafood here. The rechado masala is awesome. Try it with any fish and you won't regret ordering it. Very very reasonable prices. You get hookah here for jus 300inr. Tinu, the owner is a very jolly guy. Its his mom whos recipies are followed.
