Bombil.. small outlet opposite Kala academy in panjim.
Staff is courteous.
If you are in Goa, this restaurant should be in your wish list for sure.
Homely Goan food is served.😋😋
Fish is fresh and tasty but do try their veg thali also, simple yet scrumptious and affordable as well.
Great place to have some goan style food. The menu is limited. But the food is very tasty and the service is very friendly. We had the chicken thali, chicken xacuti and butter garlic squid. The food was great and the servings are pretty decent. Also the food is not extremely spicy, a big advantage when you are dining with kids. I want to go back and try their fish and mutton curries.
You get the best food from hole-in-a-wall eateries. And that is definitely true for Bombil, that sits, literally, in a slice of a wall adjoining the Military Hospital in Panjim. One trip to it and you would remember this place for a long time.
During the course of my stay in Goa, me and my colleague ate here 3-4 times, each time trying something new (menu gets handwritten on a blackboard). Ask the server for recommendations (and if he has coloured hair, say hello to Lokesh).
It is quaint, humble, you'd probably be sharing your eating bench with a total stranger, but it is the taste of the fresh catch that will hook you in.
Try the fish meal, the mutton meal, the rawa coated King fish steak and the Masala Calamari. The last two, I'd bet my last rupee on!
When next in Goa, show Bombil some love!
This restaurant was our accidental discovery. I am not from Goa, visited the place a tourist. I was looking for authentic place, which will serve humble food and then we found Bombil Restaurant.
The idea is avail people home cooked food, they do not have a chef. A lady cooks the food, they have fixed menu for a particular day, except of the sides.
Our thali consisted of Brown rice, prawns curry, Fish ambotik, kokum sharbat, dried fish/baby prawns fry, aubergine pickle, papad, raw mango, clams curry & a sabji.
For Staff, as I had already mentioned they were super friendly. Cost wise too very pocket friendly.
This place gives you a very friendly vibe. You can drop and and customize your food as per your mood and the staff would be more than happy to help you. I have fallen in love their Xacuti and Ros Omelette and Undo & Poe.
We ordered the local fish thali (Lepo fish) and a plate of bombil. The thali was very tasty especially the prawns curry. The bombil preparation was lovely as well. It was fresh and the rechad masala preparation was a delight to eat. A must go place for bombil lovers. The guy managing this place is very polite and courteous which adds up to the overall experience.
Staff are very friendly and quality food🥰🥰🥰🥰 just love it 😊
Absolutely loved the food. Fresh, tasty, honest...delicious fish and seafood dishes.
For a local experience in Panjim Goa, head to Bombil!
Went for lunch, seating is limited, just six tables . Has fish thali with boiled rice @ Rs 160. Was good, vibes were good. Curry was tasty. Do visit if in Panjim.
One of the best fish thali experiences in Goa. Absolutely delicious food, the spread is as authentic as it can get in Goa. Even the pickles were amazing. The best part was that they catered to our dog and gave us a bigger table during their busy hours of lunch. Thank you for the bowl and rice for our puppy. All in all we had a superb experience! Please do visit this place and you will be blown away by the food.
The fruits of patience are sweet goes the saying. We sure had to wait for around 10 mins but it was worth the wait..The Bombil restraunt serves the best varieties of thalis.. they have the traditional Urak and Feni as well which can be enjoyed with a scrumptious afternoon meal...the ambience is great and the staff is super amazing, very courteous and the service is quick... I visited the place with my family and they all absolutely loved the place... It's like an old saying "your tummy gets full but the heart is not satisfied " trust me every penny spent here was worth. Anyone visiting panjim for a lovely time with family and friends must surely visit Bombil 👌

I had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional establishment, and it's safe to say that it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff's courtesy and kindness, with Kirti in particular, made us feel truly special. Their attentiveness to our requests and their impressive recommendations, especially the mocktails, set the tone for an unforgettable evening.
The highlight of our culinary journey was the live crab dish, an experience that was nothing short of extraordinary. The fish fry, a local specialty, was unparalleled and left an indelible mark on our taste buds. The ambiance was equally impressive, with live music enhancing the overall atmosphere, making it the perfect place for a delightful evening.
Given the popularity of this restaurant, it's advisable to arrive early, as it tends to get crowded. The promise of returning every day on my next visit to Panaji is a testament to how much I enjoyed my time here.
The menu offers a wide array of dishes, and I can confidently say that you can't go wrong with any choice. The overall experience at this restaurant is nothing short of outstanding, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Panaji. Don't miss the opportunity to dine at this hidden gem. A big thank you to the Bombil team for making our visit a truly memorable one.
This is a great place, and very well designed! It is so popular that we had a waiting queue, and could get a table in about 10 minutes or so. Great food - fish thali, with kokum juice, shell
Fish and a lot more
Very professional and courteous staff and an experience to cherish and surely to return and enjoy it even more
Thanks
Bombil in Panjim, Goa, is seriously awesome! They've nailed the Goan food game with thali-style goodness and all the local staples. The service is top-notch – the staff practically reads your mind and gets your order before you do.
The place has this cool, rustic vibe with a Goan twist that just feels right. And get this – they write post-it notes on used crab shells. How cool is that? The flavors are bang on, and you'll keep craving more with their generous portions.
They even serve water in copper cups, adding a touch of class to the whole dining scene. Be warned, though – it gets packed real quick. A 30-minute wait is the norm, but trust me, it's totally worth it for the Bombil experience!
Now I know what an authentic Goan thali tastes like. Nothing compares to the food Bombil Restaurant serves.
We went there absolutely drenched just before their closing time but the staff were so kind that they allowed us to be served. The staff is high on positive energy and that radiates through the place. I regret not remembering the staff lady's name who kept interacting with us throughout and talked about the story of the restaurant.
Very cheaply priced, food is seventh heaven. Delicious desserts too. A must visit.
After a 15-20 minutes wait we got the table, best part was urak was available and they served it till we were waiting. Food was great and service was very fast, we orders fish and prawns thali all the food items were great.
During my Goan vacation, Bombil restaurant provided an unforgettable experience.
We were late for dinner and it was almost closing time but the staffs were really polite and they gave us the best hospitality possible.
Went there to try the fish thalli but they serve it only during lunch, but the staffs were kind enough to provide us with pickles and other stuffs.
Tried pork and fish rava fry it was really tasty, and the Konkani songs played added to the extra positive vibes will definitely visit there again.
A must visit place if you’re in Panjim!!
Need to look at them for serving tasty food with maximum customer satisfaction. The kingfish thali is a must try. We tried chicken,prawns, calamari starters and they were equally tasty. Good ambience and much polite staff.
On the otherside, there are limited seats available. So you have to wait around 45 - 60 minutes to get the seats, if you are visiting during weekends. Then the price is but high, like seeing Rs 220 for a watermelon juice was surprising.
Delighted by the culinary treasures at BOMB-IL in Panjim, Goa! 🌊 The historical depth of this gem resonates in every bite. A feast unfolded with their fish thalis (Prawn, Bombil, Lepo), Chicken Cafreal, Squid Masala Fry, Mackerel Rachaedo, and the Saturday special – a wood-fired prawn curry, creating a seafood utopia. 🦐🔥 The unexpected joy of savoring Urak heightened the experience. Amidst the gastronomic wonders, the ambiance adorned with charming murals adds to the overall enchantment. 🎨 Arriving early is a wise move, as the lunchtime buzz attests to its popularity. In every aspect, BOMB-IL weaves a narrative of Goan culinary excellence, making it a must-visit destination. #BOMBILGoa #SeafoodHeaven
