Plantain Leaf

The best pure-vegetarian dining room in Calangute, and one of the few places north of Panaji where you can eat a proper South Indian thali at lunch. A spotless first-floor room above the bakery; dosas, idli sambar, uttapam and a daily thali served on a banana leaf with rice, sambar, rasam, four vegetables, curd and a small sweet.

Cheap, fast, busy. Order the Mysore masala dosa and a filter coffee and you'll see exactly why the queue moves the way it does.
