Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit is from November to February when Goa's weather is cool and pleasant, making the outdoor, riverside seating very enjoyable. Evenings are ideal for the full experience with live music and a lively crowd. The summer months of April and May can be quite hot and humid. While the restaurant is open during the monsoon (June to September), heavy rains can restrict outdoor seating and the overall atmosphere is quieter.
Peak Crowd: December-January, long weekends, and public holidays. Evenings from 8 PM to 10 PM are busiest.
Moderate Crowd: October-November and February-March, especially on weekday evenings.
Low Crowd: Weekday afternoons. During the monsoon season (June to September), crowds are generally lower.
