Very delicious and authentic Goan food. They add their home-made masalas. I would suggest this place a must try in Waterford. Staffs were very friendly.

T. B.

One of the Best Indian Meals we have had Ever can't wait to Return. Staff Are so nice. Amazing Gem well worth a visit.

c. k.

Great quality food. Good portion sizes. Recommend the mixed meat tandoori. Early bird is great value with a drink. They didn’t ask for our Covid Certs or take our details.

J. B.

Absolutely spectacular. Came on the recommendation of a local who insisted we tried an 'onion badger' I believe it's called. Very very tasty. A vast quantity of food which was sensational to the taste. Friendly staff and gorgeous smell inside.

O. S. J.

This Indian food is top quality. Just experienced the takeaways. Each dish tastes distinctly different. Good variety of options, fresh ingredients. The order may take up to an hour to be ready. Really very good. Just order early!

Called here on the 23rd October with no reservation. The guy told us to call back in 30 mons and he would have a table. Very friendly staff and very attentive. Got the mixed starter to share which was beautiful. My girlfriend got the goa curry which was amazing and I asked them to make me a phaal curry which wasn't on the menu but they had no problem making this. This was amazing also. Will def return again

T. H.

Without any doubt, Best Indian food in Ireland hands down, from the tasty butter chicken to the best chicken biryani out there. Incredible naan bread. Very friendly staff and the atmosphere is spectacular.

R. M.

Great food but we ordered on line and had to wait over an hour! No explanation. Pity as food was excellent. Probably a one off.

S. K.

Always fantastic food, the best in the South East if not the whole of Ireland. From vindaloo to Goa specials through to korma, authentic Asian food. Worth every cent. 5 star.

P. P.

One of the very few places in Ireland where you get good Indian food. I must say finger licking good.. staff is also great. Must visit if you want to try out good Indian cuisine in waterford.

A. A.

The staff at Café Goa is really kind and accommodating. The food however is not that great, but still ok. They modified a lot of Indian recipes to make it more suitable to local palates, rendering them slightly less authentic. For example, the korma tastes extremely sugary when it should not. I highly recommend this place for big groups, and for the kindness of the staff, but not if you’re looking to eat an authentic Indian meal. Practical info: the food is halal.

C. D. M.

A. M. M.

S. M.

Nice good with balanced taste..

B. H.

Friendly and helpful owners. Great food 👍🌻

L. F.

Really good quality grub here. Very tender lamb in the Passanda and the chicken in the Tikka Masala tasted really fresh. The dishes take a little time to come out, a sign of good cooking but lovely nibbles to stave off the hunger pangs while you wait. Nice open kitchen too which is always reassuring. All staff wearing face shields and masks. The building is cosy but there are nice high ceilings so it feels well ventilated. The service is really welcoming. We attended as a family plus our vocal youngest child, who has significant disabilities - we were really well looked after but kept our visit to the hour so all could eat in peace! Perfect for families and couples

Food was amazing. Friendly staff.

K. E.

What a fabulous little gem in the heart of Waterford. My family have been going here for meals out and takeaways for years and never once has it disappointed. The nicest staff who couldn’t do enough for you with the most incredible Indian food I have ever eaten, cooked right in front of you in the beautiful restaurant. If you’re in Waterford you have to pay them a visit! Enjoy, you’re welcome!

A. K.

Good Indian traditional food experience

E. M.

I loved my dinner last evening. The flavours of the meal were superb. Great social distancing in place. Looking forward to going back.

L. M. N.

One of my favourite places to eat. Just back from Prague and we went to an Indian restaurant that got great reviews but I still think that this place topped it. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the food quality is also excellent. When I first went I wasn't sure what to order, the chef was very helpful and whenever I eat there I order the same dish as it is one of my favourites now.

S. H.

Delicious food and very friendly staff ❤ we have enjoyed lunch and evening at Goa quite a few times! Divine! Ingredients are locally sourced too 🙂 definitely worth a visit!

S. E.

This was a most enjoyable surprise. Lovely people, short wait, water and poppodums while we waited. Calm sense of purpose in a small space, but the food was delicious. Flavour and spices without overpowering the palate. They even lent us metal cutlery! Waterford, you lucky town! ☑️😋😄👍

f. (.

Friend recommended this place & I wasn't disappointed. You get the full relish/dip with your poppadoms! I particularly liked the spicy aubergine relish. I ordered their Dal Tarka which was so good that I've managed to finish a portion of Pilau rice & another portion of Peshwari Nan. Staff were genuinely nice as well! The place is just along the Quay. Would highly recommend this place!

T. K.

Service was good food delicious 😋 😊

M. C.

Great food and service. Highly recommend this place. I'd been 2 years ago and remembered it being very good. I was not disappointed. The garlic naan and vegetable curry were both delicious.

R. P.

Lovely Indian Food, excellent selection on the menu, prices in range of other restaurants in the area. Friendly staff with reasonable service. Would certainly go back and take family.

B. P.

Fantastic service, food, atmosphere -- intimate and greeted by the chef who ensured we liked our meals. Ate with our two kids, helpful recommendations by the waiter. Get there early if you can (1700 or 5 PM) because the place fills up fast, for good reason.

A. M. R.

Always delicious food with very generous portions.

A. F.

Lovely food; the early bird menu is good value but you need to ask for it.

Y. K.

P. C. G.

H. S.

Very nice food, friendly staff and cosy place. Would definitely visit again.

S. S. F.

I love this Indian restaurant. Is my favourite in Waterford. If you are vegetarian try the muttar paneer and the sag paneer, they are amazing. The food is very traditional and the portions are satisfying. The service is good and the price is very good, arround 15€ per person and you feel totally full. Te stablishment is cute and the location is very accesible.

A. K.

At Goa purely for convenience as we stayed at Dooleys hotel which is beside it. We had two children with us, one of which is a 10 month old. The staff were welcoming, more than helpful and the food is excellent. Would recommend.

D. O.

Great Indian food at decent prices, generous portions and I like the couvert of papadums and sauces. My rogan josh was excellent - the lamb perfectly tender and the sauce pleasantly spicey without resorting to chili heat. Great service!

K. C.

Good food, great staff, was here with a local guide and he approves. Everyone should come here, it is a MUST!

M. E.

(Translated) Very good food. Short waiting time. Unfortunately it was completely overcrowded and much too loud. The kitchen noises and the door slamming again and again cloud the picture somewhat. One could change this with simple means. All in all a very good stop for dinner. (Original) Sehr gutes Essen. Kurze Wartezeit. Leider war es total überlaufen und viel zu laut. Auch die Küchengeräusche und die immer wieder zuknallende Tür trüben das Bild etwas. Hieran könnte man mit einfachen Mitteln etwas ändern. Alles in allem aber ein sehr guter Stopp für ein Abendessen.

B. M.

(Translated) Good food with Asian flavors, great price-quality ratio! (Original) Lekker eten met Aziatische smaken, prima prijs kwaliteit verhouding!
