Great spot! Buggy took a good 10 mins to get from the parking drop off to the restaurant. Had the Chicken Chestnut dumplings and the flame torched salmon sushi. The dumplings were packed with flavor, didn't need any of the additional sauces. The sushi just melted in my mouth. Went too late at night but the view would have been spectacular during the daytime/sunset. Would have liked to see some regular cocktails in the drink menu. Am sure the bartender would have made any drink but some local flavoured cocktails would have been good. Best part was the service...server was Mona Lisa..yeah I know! Lol Very attentive...good recommendation on the food dishes.
A great experience with a beautiful waterfront view , A must visit if you're a pan Asian food lover . Service was very slow , poor cocktails and waited almost an hour for a wine and cocktails and more than an hour for food . However the food and the ambience is really amazing 🤩
Spice Traders inside W, Goa is an excellent choice for your Sushi/ Asian cuisine cravings.
What we ordered: We ordered all 3 types of Sangrias and loved every bit of it. Moscow mule, although outside of the menu tasted great. Prawns Tempura, Avocado sushi tasted phenomenal. If you like dark chocolate- you MUST try the Dark chocolate pastry- it was heaven served on a plate
Service: Very average compared to W standards. We asked for recommendations and our server gave answers like “It’s in the menu, you can pick” “Everything is good” which is not expected out of W’s hospitality and the premium we paid for this restaurant.
Location / Ambience: The tables upstairs have a sea view and the ambience overall is Welcoming. The place is easy to locate in Vagator
I would visit Spice traders again for the delicious food and cocktails.

This was my first time going to Spice traders and it was good. I went with my whole family of 9 and they were more than happy to seat us and the service was so fast that I didn’t even realised the food was on the table. I had the Rainbow Roll and the vegetable gyoza dumplings. The dumplings were good but I felt like the soy sauce overpowered the dumplings so I didn’t use it. The rainbow rolls were nice and refreshing as well and there is also a lot of vegetarian options. 9/10 recommend
Food is nice, I don't know why my earlier review was deleted any ways... on Sundays generally it's buffet but we tried alacart it came to same price.
Ambience 5/5
Food 4/5
A fine dine experience at the shore of Vagator beach. We visited at dusk where you can get an excellent view of the sunset.
Ordered asparagus and spinach dumplings, goat cheese wontons and b&w prawns with rose sangria. Food is good as well as the hospitality
I checked out the Spice Traders Sunday Drunch at W Goa last weekend and it was so refreshingly different!
One of the things that made it unique was that there was only Pan Asian cuisine - one of my personal favourites! Live counters dished up sushi, satay, flavourful salads, Thai curry and live roast fish and chicken counters. What was also great was that the fare wasn't 'indianized' and the flavours were subtle but exceptional, right from the sushi to the pizza, stir fries and more.
To compliment the live counters was a menu of baos, dumplings, Pan Asian starters, a handful of main course options and desserts. There was a great magician, and groovy tunes by a live band and good service.
We had been looking forward to this restaurant for weeks and it did not disappoint. Amazing experience all round! Each dish was fantastic. My favourite was the duck dim sum. And the cheesecake had a different twist. The service was great with all the waiters being very attentive. Minor issue was the air-conditioning which was a little too intense.
This one's in W Goa. Very beautiful property and good ambiance. Its quite romantic especially when its less crowded. Try to get seat outside on terrace with view of the sea. For warmer months, inside seating wld be best. Prior reservations are preferred, coz when you reach the hotel they take you in a buggy or a small car to the restaurant, on a path where cars cant ply coz its a cemented way that goes through their gardens. This lill journey itself is so beautiful especially at night when thr is quiet and all garden lamps lit. It takes about 5-7 mins to reach the restaurant. We ordered some vegetarian Sushi and Dumplings. Both were well done, but quantities are pretty less. We tried their Thai Red curry which comes with a serving of sticky rice, which were quite nice. Very rich in taste. N lastly, we had the cheese cake, which was the highlight of the dinner. It was best looking cheese cake I have ever had. It looked like some Indian Rusgulla, totaly glazed, but so smooth to cut through and so satisfying on the pallet. So overall a good experience. I wld especially recommend this if you are on your honeymooon, or want a romantic evening.
The food is just amazing. I haven't had such great pan asian food till date. The service they have is mind blowing. They have 25 chefs only for this speciality restaurant (as told by the staff). We thoroughly enjoyed the food and were completely satisfied and overwhelmed with their presentation, service and ambience. Must visit for a fine dine when in Goa.
