Highly recommended!

I visited Souza Lobo last year, and the experience is still very close to my heart. Every little detail made the visit special—from the beautiful gesture by Mr. Balthazar Lopez, who gifted us a photo frame with such warmth and respect, to the delightful cocktails and delicious food that followed. The serene beachside view added to the charm, making the moments even more memorable. Above all, the hospitality was exceptional and made us feel genuinely welcomed. I would absolutely love to return and wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking a truly soulful beachside dining experience.

The food was just too delicious!
We had pork ribs (delicious and properly cooked),
chicken cafreal skewers (very good),
grilled chicken (chicken was good but mashed potatoes could have been better),
prawns and chonak curry with buns and rice. In drinks we had kaju feni with limca it was perfect and whiskey sour with egg (just right)
In sweet we had sera dura (delicious and tandout), bebinca (2 of us liked, other found just okay), caramel custard (just right)
But the highlight we recommend is CRAB RECHADO….. damn that gravy or masala is to die for. Highly recommended . Just one thing crabs could have been bigger in size and more fresh. But no complaints because of that gravy . Even the gravy of pork ribs were just too delicious.
The restaurant they have kept it proper aesthetic. The beach view with karaoke at evening enhances the experience even further.
I am definitely visiting again. Excellent restaurant!

Went here on 29th apr just wanted to try so ordered prawns crispy chilli,roti & choclate mousse.it was 970 something including tax.prawns pieces were around 6-7/8 I’m not sure. But the taste m not lying i still can feel it on my palate so people who like spicy food with spices it’s a must try. Very calm and cozy view. If you go upstairs they have seating arrangements but we preferred to seat outside.washroom were upstairs which was clean.i think it was bit pricy but the taste was 9/10.

2nd year visiting this place and the food and service are top notch! Goan chorizo fry and kingfish recheado were both absolutely delicious, as were the desserts and cocktails. Not cheap, but worth it for the quality. Only thing we didn’t enjoy was the loud bass from other bars nearby but that isn’t this place’s fault.

Visited for dinner, after seeing the reviews. And was not disappointed at all. Good food and good ambience. Their craft beer too is good.

Some idiotic shacks were playing music at very high volume which was disturbing.

Toilets etc are clean.

Butter garlic lobster should have been more juicy. Everything else was tasty.

Inside , it’s very clean and cozy . Sitting arrangement also gets you to 1940 era.

Food and it’s quantity is great.Their craft beer taste is better than many other famous breweries.

Walking into Souza Lobo after almost 6–7 years felt like stepping into a time capsule — back to the Calangute I remember from the early 2000s. The vibe is still the same — a beautiful mix of locals, foreigners, and a few Indian tourists, all soaking in that easygoing Goan beach energy and a bit of loud music from the shacks outside.
It honestly felt so good to see that Souza Lobo still holds its soul.

The restaurant hasn’t changed much — the charm, the sea breeze, the familiar buzz — but it’s lovely to see the next generation taking it forward. The daughter now runs the place and has beautifully revamped the menu while keeping the essence alive. Seafood remains the heart of Souza Lobo — and rightly so.

There’s even proper parking now — plenty for two-wheelers right at the restaurant and a few four-wheelers too — something you rarely find around Calangute these days!

The staff were their usual amazing selves — warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. You can tell they take pride in what they do and always watching out for you.

And the food… just wow. The beer-battered calamari was perfectly crisp, the fish fingers were spot-on, and the sausage pulao took me straight back to childhood Sundays home cooked food.

Souza Lobo isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a piece of Goan history.
To all the locals who’ve spent evenings here in the old days, do yourself a favour — go back, relive those memories, and support this iconic place that still carries the true Goan spirit in every plate served. ❤️

Went here for an official evening out yesyersay night.
The restaurant has a great beachfront location—peaceful, though a little away from the main shacks.
Food was awesome and the service was equally good, really lived up to the reputation.

The only downside was that Tuesday night felt a bit dull with no live music. Adding some entertainment would definitely enhance the vibe and make evenings more lively.

Overall, a lovely place for good food, great service, and a nice seaside experience.
