Cafe Ave Maria - Caranzalem

If you’re around Panjim (Taleigao specially), you cannot miss on going to Café Ave Maria. It’s a perfect hub for Goan food like cutlets chicken, beef, pork, rissois, pan rolls, samosas and lot of Goan delicacies! That’s not it the place is compact and beautifully maintained and the guy at the counter is very polite and welcoming. All this counts. Don’t forget to try out their Rissois and Prawns Pulao highly recommended

I usually travel to Santa Cruz to eat cutlet pao, croquettes and other host of Goan-catholic snacks. It's great that this little cafe opened up right near my house which not only saves me trips but also has a good variety of snacks, freshly made, tasty and reasonably priced. I've tried a lot of their Goans snacks like cutlet pao, fish cutlets, sausage pao, chicken samosa and pan rolls... All of them have been really good. I haven't tried their sandwiches and burgers but judging from everything I've eaten, I am guessing, they will be equally good too. I only wish they could have a live counter for cutlet pao though, may be in the evenings. Anyways... to sum it up... this is a real gem of a place. Please to be trying this place out.

I picked up a bag of goodies ranging from fish chops, to pork chops, sausage puffs, prawn Ressois, and some Swiss roll.<br/ <br/ All of the products were fresh crisp and absolutely delicious. I missed the hint of prawns taste in the prawn Ressois but overall it was an amazing experience.

Excellent food, burgers are fresh, crisp and well balanced. The pan rolls are top notch too!

Very Friendly management. If you wish to hog upon really authentic Goan snacks, then Ave Maria is totally recommended. Prices are reasonable.
