Boom Shankar - Palolem

Quiet resort with a pleasant seaview terrace. It's more basic than most resorts in Patnem and Palolem, but beers and food prices are similar, so the only reason to come here is for solitude. Oh, and they do nice squid balls with Wasabi and soy sauce

We celebrate every year at the end of Monsoon when Boom Shankar finally opens it doors once again so that we can come and enjoy the sunset cocktails with one of the best views in Canacona. The staff are welcoming and the food is good. If you get the chance, make sure you stop in at Boom Shankar at least once to catch the last rays of the sun over your favourite tipple.

Always friendly staff with good food. A great place to watch the sun go down, especially with a Shiva shaker..

We went in there blindly as it was anyway late, 2:45 pm and we had to eat. We had no clue of this place and it was a sweet surprise to us. The place is kept clean with extremely basic and old furniture. The seating is sea facing. But, what strikes you is the warmth of people who look low key, but so sweet and humble. Each item that we ate both times was more than good, in fact many outstanding. They made wonderfully tasting cocktails and you get a huge menu for it. Make it a point to go if you are here. Price is very moderate.

A meeting point for leasure immigrants, especially from england, mostly above 40 years of age. Young people you won.t see there very often. The place is nice and an excellent location to see a beautiful sunset. The food they serve could be better, the cocktails are as well not really great. The personell is super friendly and very helpful. If you.re alone and need some company, there you.ll find it. For the food or drinks itself it.s not your choice. They offer also rooms for a reasonable price, although it.s quality is questionable.
