Hi guys, today I am off to Panjim with Maria and Jaya. Our channel member Abhishek ‘Abzee’ Bandekar has recommended that we try out Bombil restaurant. Now I want to be honest that in the past also Maria and I have gone to Bombil with Evelyn and Remy and we did not enjoy it very much. But since Abhishek has recommended it, we’re open to giving it a try. You never know, maybe it was just a bad day at the restaurant
Many of our viewers have been asking us since long to come to Bombil. So here we are on Campal, the riverside drive of Goa’s capital city Panjim, heading towards Kala Academy. Follow Campal till the Kala Academy and the Military Hospital. Turn left at the Kala Academy traffic light, and you will see Bombil on your left. The gaily painted restaurant is impossible to miss. If coming from inside Panjim along MG Road, turn right at Sant Inez circle towards Campal

We reached just before 1, so it was easy to get a table. Soon, the lunch crowd will come and people will be waiting outside Bombil for a table
Jaya is very impressed with the gaily decor at Bombil
Here in Bombil, the menu is up on the wall for all to see. After seeing the pork and beef thalis on the menu, Maria and I will forget chicken cafreal and order these instead. And we’ll definitely try the home made bebinca
Maria’s going to have the (pork) aad maas (bone meat) thali (Rs 380). Lesley will have beef thali (Rs 360). Jaya’ll have the veg thali with white rice (Rs 240). We’ll try mushroom cafreal also
I’ll just repeat the order of yours, ma’am
One pork aad maas thali with Goan brown rice (Rs 380), beef thali with Goan brown rice (Rs 360), veg thali normal white rice (Rs 240), kokum mojito (Rs 220), pomegranate fresh mojito (Rs 240), pineapple fresh mojito (Rs 240) and mushroom cafreal (Rs 260)
The decor reminds one of a warm, cosy Italian taverna
Our lunch arrives very soon. Jaya’s Goan veg thali has sourac curry, dal, salad, rice, brinjal fodis, mango pickle, sweet lime pickle, garlic pickle, fruit custard, tambdi bhaji, tidkeo midkeo bhaji and vegetable soup. Maria’s pork aad maas thali has two kinds of fried fish, salad, pork aad maas, teesrio, fruit custard, soup, sweet lime pickle, garlic pickle, mango pickle and rice and bhendi bhaji. Lesley's beef thali also has prawn curry, then teesrio, fruit custard, sweet lime pickle, soup, mango pickle, garlic pickle, rice, mackerel parra (salt fish pickle), fried dried fish, salad, and on the side some beef chilli fry
The mushroom cafreal was surprisingly good. Beef chilly fry is very tasty. Aad maas is also very nice. The food is much better now compared to last time. Rice and curry is unlimited in the thali
Maria is very excited to see Bombil’s owner Joseph Dias in the kitchen. He is a well known zumba instructor from the north
While eating, we can hear the strains of a guitar. It’s Felix, our very talented neighbour from Colva, with Robert on the drum. Together they are called ‘The Rubber Band. Because they are flexible!

As we leave Bombil, people are waiting patiently for a table in the company of The Rubber Band
