Sharda Classic restaurant, Fatorda, Margao, South Goa, May 2024

Hi guys! Today, Maria and I are going in our own local area, to Fatorda in Margao because one of our viewers    / @sophianoronha   decided to treat us to a meal at Sharda Classic, which is an old favourite among Margaokars.

It’s a place really known for its fantastic Goan fish and seafood. So that’s what we’re looking forward to eating today thanks to Sophia!

Sharda Classic
Murida Road, behind CIL Maruti Service Centre, Fatorda, Margao, Goa 403602
Tel: 07719029594

Costs we paid: Special chonak thali Rs 400, prawns thali Rs 266, mussels rawa fry Rs 523, mutton sukka Rs 381, tender coconut pudding Rs 114

Sharda Classic is located close to Fatorda Stadium in Margao, South Goa. Take the Ponda road from Margao’s clock tower circle, towards Fatorda. At Dambab circle, turn left towards Fatorda stadium. At the first traffic signal after the stadium, turn right on the road to Murida. Soon after turning right you can see Sharda Classic ahead on the right. First comes the older Sharda Bar and Restaurant on the left. On the opposite side is Sharda Classic, where we are going today. After the restaurant, there is a parking lot. This place is very popular. Must go early to be sure of a table.

An appreciation for our viewer Rhea Lobo    / @rhealobo6279  . Thanks to her, we got vlogging mikes and it really made a big difference to our speaking audio quality inside noisy restaurants. Thank you, Rhea!

Sharda Classic started off as a bar, serving maada (coconut) feni, urac, alem (ginger feni), jeerem (cumin flavoured feni), cashew feni, in 1952 in the Portuguese time. Then in 1994 they opened Sharda Bar in Fatorda. And then they opened in Panjim and then in Aquem, Margao.

Today we're having special chonak fish thali, regular prawns thali, mutton sukha and xinaneo (mussels) rawa fry.

Actually Sharda is so famous and we have come here so often that it didn’t occur to us to cover it in a vlog till one of our viewers Sophia Noronha specially requested it. Your old favourites, sometimes you forget to cover them. Over the years the seafood here has just been spectacular. And our kids also love to come here because they have this amazing brownie dessert. Though we are going to have the Goan desserts today

First to arrive are the xinaneos rawa fry. Perfect crispiness.

Let’s see what all Sharda's special chonak thali has: prawns, chonak, leppo, kharem (dried salted mackerel), prawn curry with drumstick, dry prawn kismur, prawn xacuti, salad, sal kari, pickle, fruit custard, teesrio sukka, tendlim (ivy gourd) bhaji, 1 chapati and rice

Maria’s regular prawn thali has curry, tendlim, teesrio, salad, sal kari, pickle, rice and rawa fried prawns

Likes: prawn xacuti, tendlim bhaji, xinaneo, teesrio, mutton sukka, tender coconut pudding
Dislikes: rawa fried prawns and rawa fried chonak
