Restaurant Review: Down The Road

Location: H No. 99, Near Old Patto Bridge, Panaji.

This is a beautiful restaurant housed in a beautiful old Portuguese style Villa at a beautiful location. Down the road has been there since many years but for some reason, I never visited the place before.

Once while scouting for a place for dinner with hubby, on an impulse, entered this restaurant. And... For sure. No regrets.

It was Christmas time and the restaurant was beautifully decorated with lights, stars and glass paintings. What I loved most is the utilization of space. There is indoor seating and gallery too accommodates people. We obviously chose to sit out. It was such a perfect setting, December cool breeze mixed with the smell of the sea and slow tracks playing in the background. Down the road won my heart here itself.

Now coming to the food part, everything was superb. For drinks, we stuck to our regular, Breezer and beer.

Started our meal with chicken mexicana pizza and Mongolian prawns. The pizza was a thin crust with chicken, onion, jalapenos and lots of cheese. It was profusely topped and extremely delicious. Mongolian prawns was ordered at the suggestion of our server. So it had to be good. And it was.. with the right mix of sauces and the tenderness of prawns.

Lastly, we ordered Mediterranean stuffed chicken. This dish was accompanied with mashed potato, bread, buttered veggies and a yogurt dip. The chicken was deliciously stuffed with cheese. It always makes for a great combination. Mashed potato was extremely smooth and perfectly gooey.

Everything about this dinner was great. Will surely visit again for their other delicacies.
