I have tried a lot of shacks at Candolim Beach but Claudina's was the best. The food was really good. Must try their pomphret and garlic naan. Mr. Anthony & his entire team were just awesome. Service is super good. Must try !

Standard enough shack on Candolim Beach - just had drinks the first evening we arrived. Noisy as all competing establishments were blaring out their own music. Notable for collection of football shirts - mainly English teams but spotted a scarf from mighty Hibs fae Edinburgh.

This shack is nice. I spent an hour or two here and ordered fish fry which was really good. There are many places to sit . The views are great since you are literally on the beach. Move shack to try

This is the most amazing place ever!!!!! Anthony And Chloe Fernandes are the perfect Host we ever could ask Do visit the Shack for one Beautiful chef Tina Fernandes Made our Goa Trip PERFECT!!!!

Very delicious foods with great taste and flavour. Highly recommended. Polite and friendly people. Ambience is amazing.

I went on the Eve of Christmas and the atmosphere of the aura was really giving goosebumps. The food was ok, as a vegetarian I didn't have many options though the food was great and more specific, ok. The music fest was the best of all. Everywhere music was playing. It was like party all night 🌉🌃🍺🥂🍾

Everyone should definitely visit this place. Amazing Food, Best hospitality & lovely Vibes. My favourite place in GOA💯

Good place to be with friends for a nice evening near the beach. Good food, service and good ambiance. The quality of the food was equally matched with the quality of service.

Had a very good experience, Sun, sand, sea, n good food

Beautiful shack located right on the beach with a very nice staff. We were one of the first folks in their shack and everything we ordered were just perfect. The beach, it's breeze just improved the ambiance. And no, they don't expect u do you to do a minimum order, don't fall for fake reviews.

Amazing place with amazing vibes. Reducing 1 star as fish n chips can have 1 piece more. Amazing and friendly service staff. Chicken shaslik was amazing. Recommended!

While being on the candolim beach you can enjoy the place where you have to order deinks and food to enjoy the beach beds or the tables. You will get beers ranging from 100-250 as per the brand and the food is also good. It is just located on the main entry of candolim beach.

Food and service was delicious. We had finger chips and ordered for Goan fish curry. It was absolutely delightful. The shack is very close to the entrance and the service is good.

My family spent 12 days here! Loved every second! Coming from the USA. I was told to be careful of the locals. NOT TRUE, they were attentive, caring, and polite! The took care of me, my wife, and my two children while we enjoyed their hospitality. During vacation it’s easy to give compliments to teams in a business even when they don’t deserve it. After nearly 2 weeks, I can say this is a safe, clean, and friendly place for ALL income levels. I wish them great success in the future!

Very very good service food & owner banoo very happy go lucky man

Highly recommended, we spent about 6 hours having cocktails, snacks, beers, and lunch. The food and ambiance was great. Our waiter Matthew provided us with excellent service and patience we were never rushed or made to feel like we over spent our time. We watched the beautiful sunset and left. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place was amazing 😍 Their food was awesome all of u hve to visit this place if u wanna make ur day special these guys attend u like a family member ☺️ I enjoyed a lot at this place 🏖️🍾😎

This shack has an amazing vibe and the crowd here is also really good, mostly people from overseas .. happy joyous atmosphere... Bingo here is something that is entertaining and the rewards are also amazing... Food is really good and liquor too has a good verity... The staff here is good and attentive... Washrooms are very decent for shack ... Over all it's an amazing place to spend an evening..

Tried chicken chilli and prawnz rawa try with some beer. Chicken chilli was 2/5, prawnz rava fry was 4.5/5 .....just an average shack with average food to chill out at candolim beach

horrible place for vegetarians. veg burger only had a pattice and one tomato slice which is for 220 rs. when we complained they started yelling at us . horrible experience .

Worst experience in my whole Goa vacation<br/>1) The service is very slow. The just dont care about the patrons<br/>2) ordered prawns curry rice. Prawns were a bit undercooked. Suffered from food poisoning that night.<br/>Summary- just avoid this place<br/>

The evening set up of this shack by the beach is amazing! We ordered Manchuria dry and drinks here! And taste was okay not that great! Service was good with the amazing breeze on Candolim Beach!!

worst shack on candolim...tasteless food...pathetic sandwiches they dont even knw the difference between club and regular sandwiches..prawns are so tasteless...waste of money....not at all recommended.you ll find many better shacks...

After doing whole day watersports; the Tshirts,flags, and stoles of different soccer clubs and countries attracted us to this place. Have to give it to them; they have a lovely collection ; some unique ones as well.<br/>With amazing beach view, a place to change our clothes and frshen up the shack offered  has an upper hand over others.<br/>We were offered some offer on Budwieser  , we kept on ordering and realized we had drank 23 pints among 4 of us. Dont remember but had some kababs as well.<br/>Service is amazing , food rates were on the higher side though!

After a lot of disappointing meals in goa, this place was a blessing. Its a beach side shack but you don't get a good view of the sea (at night) as its quite inside. There is no music here . The staff was friendly and their attitude was refreshing compared to what i had experienced so far. Ordered chicken lollipop, crispy chicken, calamari, goan fish curry and rice. All were good and reasonably priced. The fish curry was the star, so full of flavour! Service was quick as well. Overall a great experience!

Not quite as expected. Rates are high, a heavy part yo wallet. Only saviour was sea facing bench services.<br/><br/>If rates would have been competitive, it would have been great.<br/><br/>Over all, not happy.

We went there for the breakfast, so we ordered 4 English Breakfast, the view from the shack was relaxing as one could enjoy and see the sea, but the service was bad it took a hell lot of a time to prepare the breakfast and the food was average, the bacon was so crispy that it didn’t taste like bacon. So it was a overall average experience.

Nice place to chill.. Good food and open pretty early.. So might as well have breakfast when ur at the beach early.. Staff here are a little laid back, Need to push them. But overall the food is good and the location is good..

A decent place to relax and have couple of beers. Squid peri peri is a thumbs up !<br/>There isn't too much that would attract you on the ambience part but nevertheless, it qualifies for a visit when in candolim.

So at first I thought this was a very decent place to eat and n all, looked like any average place to chill in Goa , but then I wouldn't be reviewing. It it went that well, when I ate the food was tasting ok, but only after an hour later I started puking as soon as I reached my hotel I had to the most massive headache and soon after that I had loozzies,<br/><br/>Didn't do anything that day or ate anything after that, in short my vacation day 1 was a total waste <br/><br/>So next day my friends went and I went the next day to the same shack, nobody ate anything , just had drinks, also I had a chance to give a piece o my mind <br/>So to the manager, the manager was completely unapologetic he said as very rude after I confronted him, there's no such thing as a customer service there, plus when your spending your hard earned money , you expect decent service , imean I'm not srk I'm just a common man I expecting a decent value for my money , <br/><br/>Also while there on my second day I saw some massive rats in there shack,<br/><br/>Which is completely disgusted me, <br/><br/><br/>Finally this is the conclusion<br/><br/>If you want to get sick and have a diarrhoea and a dash of hepatitis then look no further Claudinas Is the place for you <br/><br/><br/>completely

Good place to chill with attentive staff & quick service.. cocktails are overpriced though by Goan standards... Seafood & poultry is decent though there is a scope for improvement.. give a miss if you have a vegetarian friend with you !

This is the First time I've Visited Claudina's and boy it was Amazing.  The food here is the best in all of the shacks ( 25 ) of them which i have visited in Goa. The place is so easy to find right at the entrance of Candolim Beach. The Food here is really mouth watering, the Prawns here were so succulent and not overcooked like most of the shacks in goa. The staff here is so courteous that you will spend at least a good 6-8 hours at the shack. The Cost is very reasonable.<br/>Things to look out for at Claudina's<br/>1) Prawns<br/>2) Mackerel<br/>3) Squid butter Garlic<br/>4) Chicken Crispy<br/>5) Red Snapper<br/>6) Beef Chilly Fry<br/>7) Sausage Chilly Fry<br/>8) Vindaloo<br/>9) Fish Curry Rice.<br/><br/>I can go on and on but you definately need to visit this place.

Worst food I have had in goa. No taste in the food. And on top of that it is very very costly as per the food. Only gud for the place its located. You can only go for alcohol.

Claudina's a beautiful shack maintained by Anthony. A caring host who loves to ensure that the guests get best of their time.<br/>I had great fishes with beer. The chef is good and make great goan dishes.

This shack is located right at the entrance of Candolim beach. Excellent ambience and really courteous staff. And their food is delicious!!! Ordered a peri peri pomfret and it was so full of flavors, it was the best pomfret I've ever had. Must visit when in Candolim! Thumbs up!

2015- One of the many beach shacks in candolim. This was the first beach shack we tried in candolim and we were left dissapointed. The food here is disappointing . French fries were pathetic. Prawns masala curry was just average. This place is only good to sit down and have beer...Hospitality and service is good.<br/><br/>2018- I visited this place again in Nov 2018 and the food quality has improved 360 degrees. I ordered French Fries, Onion pakora, Chicken Shashlik, Fish curry , Omelette , chicken chilly and all of them were awesome. We spent almost 5-6 hours on the shack. The front row view is amazing.. <br/><br/>

Extremely disappointed with claudinas this time. I visited the place 4 years ago and fell in love with the place and the food, so decided to make a trip this time again. But the quality has dropped so drastically that it's unbelievable. I order the English Breakfast, like last time, only to discover that this time around the food was stale, and the drinks were

It is one of the best shacks in candolim beach. We hired their beach beds for a relaxing day and it was reasonable enough. Food was good and drinks were cheap like other places in Goa. Service was good. The squid chili fry was a good starter. Overall a nice shack for relaxing.
