Saraya Restaurant

The most delicious wood fire oven pizza I have ever had in my life. Must try - Saraya special pizza and kombucha (available in many flavors).

the food was an absolute delight. we came for lunch as a family of five adults; ordered 4 different dishes and must admit all were special. their wood fire pizzas are a must try. what i liked is the fine balance they maintain in using spices making the menu light on palate.

Sayara is a beautiful, cozy little cafe. We loved the peaceful ambience and more importantly, the vegan food options.

It was my husband’s birthday, and when I casually mentioned it to the staff, they surprised him with a vegan brownie at the end of our meal. 🥰 Such a thoughtful gesture that truly made his birthday even more special!

Thank you, Sayara, for the wonderful food, warm hospitality, and that sweet little surprise. Definitely a place we’d love to visit again when we’re in Goa! ✨

I had a wonderful experience at Saraya Restaurant. The atmosphere is very peaceful, relaxing, and perfect for enjoying a meal. The food was 100% perfect every dish was delicious, and you can clearly tell that high-quality, fresh ingredients are used. The taste and presentation were excellent. The waiter was also very kind, polite, and attentive, making the dining experience even better with their friendly behavior. I highly recommend Saraya Restaurant to anyone looking for great food, a calm ambiance, and excellent service.

Staying in the mud house felt like living inside a giant chocolate brownie—cozy, rustic, and totally surrounded by beautiful nature. The restaurant food was delicious and super fresh. If you want a peaceful, off-grid escape with plenty of nature (and a few friendly bugs), this is the perfect spot! Highly recommend.

I had amazing experience in cafe. The wood baked pizza was awesome, the tomato soup, and pasta . It was pure organic and high quality freshly made. In north goa noide , this place provides silent and cool vibe

We were so happy to find this cool spot! The food - especially the wood oven veggie pizza - is scrumptious and affordable, with lots of fully vegan options on the menu! The space is beautiful, featuring lovely old architecture and lots of plants - really nice for chilling out and enjoying the bohemian Goa scene. We would only like to try a better espresso here in the future and a Buddha bowl with whole grain rather than white rice!

I rarely write reviews, let alone negative ones, but my experience at Saraya was so so disappointing that I feel people deserve to know this before visiting. Because i saw the misleading good reviews and fell for the absolute worst of my cafe experiences.
When I visited, the café was completely empty, which should have been the first sign. As soon as I walked in, I noticed cobwebs and filthy cloth strips hanging from the ceiling in the name of rustic look. The entire place looked poorly maintained rather than intentionally rustic.
There was a collection of books on display, but they were covered in a thick layer of dust. They looked so dirty that I didn't even want to touch them.
The most shocking part was seeing dogs enter the kitchen area. I mean, that's a serious hygiene concern. The absolute deal-breaker came when one of the dogs urinated in the café area right in front of me. That was enough for me to completely lose my calm and my confidence in the cleanliness of the establishment. Allowing that to happen in a dining space is absolutely filthy and simply unacceptable.
Another disappointment came with the food. Their Zomato menu suggests that their pasta is "Made from Scratch" with whole wheat flour. However, when I asked the staff, they clearly told me that they use commercially packaged whole wheat pasta bought from the market. If the menu still suggests that the pasta is made from scratch, I believe that is misleading and should be corrected.
I expect restaurants to respect both their guests and basic hygiene standards. Cleanliness isn't optional—it's fundamental. Just being a polite host isn't enough. My experience at Saraya fell far below what I consider acceptable for any restaurant anywhere.
If I could give a rating below one star, I would. Based on my visit, I cannot recommend this café to anyone who values hygiene and cleanliness.

This cafe is the combination of sustainable and chill ambiance. It is a veg only cafe which offers plenty of good options. We tried their pizza, garlic bread and few of the drinks. Portion size was decent, food was made with fresh ingredients and it was too tasty. There's a small shop where you can buy enviornment friendly items.

I would recommend this place.

Finding good Jain food can be tricky, but this place truly impressed us! They have a special Jain menu, which made us feel so comfortable ordering.
We tried the Margherita Pizza and Alfredo Penne Pasta — both were absolutely delicious and super fresh. You can actually taste the difference in their vegetables; they felt fresh and farm-grown.
A must-visit café, and we’ll definitely be recommending it to our friends! ✨

The cafe beautifully combines art and food with charming decor, open spaces and often local artwork that adds character to the place. It’s not just a cafe. it feels like a creative retreat.

And the food? Absolutely delightful. From fresh, wholesome dishes to perfectly brewed coffee, every bite feels thoughtfully prepared.

Absolutely beautiful decor and location but arrogant and ignorant staff. The food was half decent so I wouldn’t complain but don’t bother trying the coffee. I ordered a flat white and I got a railway station Nescafé like coffee and the owner or manager I don’t know justified it by saying that you can Google it and that’s how it is. Every other cafe in the world obviously does it wrong this small place which will only last a few more years if lucky know what the real thing is. Great attitude guys..

Cool vibe ...great pizza....I have visited this place nearly every trip for the past nearly decade.Thw pizzas are easy on the stomach and the ingredients are fresh. I think most guys there are artists in the true sense. They work on actual art and part time as pizza chefs. Their traditional style cooking oven is present to watch. The drinks are also good and refreshing. The starters like humus is also very good and fresh.

Just visited for a few minutes to meet my friend and got carried away by the landscaping over earthy spaces-carefully curated . Beautiful

Saraya is a super cool and artsy place. I like to spend time there. The food is amazing!!!

The one star is for the friendly owner . Booked it through make my trip . Kept getting calls from some manager that he can’t accommodate me due to some blah blah ( which turned out to be all false information ) I insisted on still coming as I hadn’t received any inputs through mmt. Upon arrival never got any hot water to bathe , people kept smoking next to no smoking zone in a so called Ecostay . And when pointed out , though the owner lady was quick to rectify , the manager had the audacity to try coaching me how Goa everyone smokes and I am supposed to put up with it . I ordered tea which was served like milk only to be told kitchen has exhausted tea leaves ! The manager kept being arrogant , defensive and I kept feeling uncomfortable throughout. In my multiple trips to Goa , this is the only place I want to forget . Friendly advice to the good owner, several staff expressed how they hated the manager in that little time I was there. Do conduct a thorough enquiry. I mean you well

Not safety place for family snake here bad service

Food tasted amazing and the owner was super friendly and made great suggestions. It’s a pretty cozy atmosphere but not super well lit.

I’m only giving the 3 stars due to the lack of prep and service time. I don’t recommend coming if you are starving and need quick service. It’s mentioned on the menu that food tastes 20 minutes to prep but we waited close to 40 minutes for the food to arrive.

Nevertheless, it tasted really really good.

Had my kid's birthday party at Saraya Restaurant and it was a hit! The food was delicious and the hospitality was top-notch. Special thanks to gaurav and team for making the day so special for us

I went here going by the food reviews, but nothing amazing. Can be avoided if someone looking for pizza and pasta better options are available nearby. Hope they improve. Location wise good. Ambience is good. Staff is good.

Great find! We had an amazing meal here made up of an incredible vegan pizza and delicious glazed tofu Buddha bowl. Both super delicious. Lovely vibes and setting and really great price…particularly for the quality. Highly recommend giving it a try 😋💯

I loved it here! The mud hut was very cosy and comfortable and has made us excited to build our own. We frequented the restaurant during our stay (the chef was so good you couldn't keep us away), we tried a lot of the menu and everything was delicious. I would recommend to anyone coming to Goa!

It's a study in true sustainability. Everything in the décor was repurposed and put together in a very unselfconscious manner. The pizza was without exaggeration the best I have had.

It impressed with its beautiful eco-friendly ambiance and amazing food. The pizzas were beyond incredible, some of the best I've ever had. I couldn't resist the irresistible potato wedges paired with their homemade dips—they absolutely stole our hearts. We can't wait to visit again and indulge in their mouthwatering pizzas. Highly recommended!

Saraya is a hidden gem in Goa! This low-key cafe is nestled in a calm and serene spot, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The food quality is exceptional, with standout dishes like their authentic pizza, vegan gelato ice cream, and creamy hummus. The ambiance is calming and peaceful, complemented by professional service that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're looking for a relaxing spot to unwind or a great place to enjoy delicious food, Saraya is definitely one of the best experiences you'll have in Goa!

My partner & I had gone to meet a friend there. It was our first time. The person who took our order was very polite and the place was unassuming and cozy and very non-interfering. We had an Americano & Classic Cold Coffee. I know it's hard to get these wrong, but many places do. Saraya didn't. Both were good.

Very good pizza, butter milk was refreshing

Planned and Went for a lunch.
We ordered Grilled Cheese toasts, tofu pizza and mac/cheese Pasta.
Food was very good for the price .
The ambience/atmosphere is very peaceful/no nonsense.
Parking Space is sufficient for 2/4 wheeler.
Customer Service is very good and the place has its own vibe.
Food items were delivered within 20-25 mins which was kind of good time as well.
This is a pure veg place to hit with your friends/family. Enjoy your Time😇😍

Great food, loved the pesto pasta, we were done eating and were licking our fingers.

The pizza was also great but the sauce was a little on the bland side, it’s near to authentic Italian but it’s difficult to tell if there was any sauce present.

We enjoyed the art gallery which was a cherry on the top.
Would recommend.

The place is nice, the concept and the uniqueness of making the food from fresh ingredients is wonderful but I didn't like the cleanliness of the seating area. There were multiple cob webs and big spiders hanging at a lot of places around the tables and the benches, near the fans, near the bell close to the billing counter.

It is an ideal place for pure vegetarian people who like to eat hot and fresh food. Make sure you reach early and are patient enough to wait for the order to arrive.

Overall experience was good but it can be great if the above concern is taken care of.

I just love this concept of a holiday home. It is very well done. The mud houses and tree houses are the best I've come across till date and are laid out very innovatively from the inside using basic materials.
The restaurant is also a great place to hang out. It is an outdoor theme and built in a totally different manner that exudes a very calm ambience.
This place serves vegetarian pizzas that are made in an earthen oven right on front of the guests and are simply awesome. Apart from the pizzas, this restaurant serves snacks, juices that are completely different from the regular stuff available around the place.

I can only review the restaurant, since we only had a meal there. We had two delicious pizzas there which were served on a leaf plate which was a nice sustainable touch. The staff was very nice and welcoming, the location and ambience very cozy. Many other dishes on the menu sounded really nice too.

Got to know this place randomly when we were starving for some food on our way. Right from stepping from the gate, we were really excited and eager to watch the whole place.

The way the restaurant is made was soo amazing that wanted to stay there for a whole day. Every part of it is astonishing and incredible. As they said after the food is ordered it would take at least 45 mins to prepare, we started researching about the place for more than 2 hours. Whole restaurant is buid with the pure wood.

Best part of this place is they only grow their all ingredients and vegetables. Every item used In their dish is from their own land and it is made organically and they only serve veg and no drinks too, but if we want we can bring and have the drinks at their place.

Had their organic lemonade which was one of the best I evar had and had their special meal for the lunch which were really good and after seeing the amount of quantity
of food, we thought that wouldn't be enough at all for anyone, but one plate of meals was more than enough for anyone, as they were grown organically.

The best part of this place is no one works for any salary here, everyone is a volunteer here and you should be a citizen of Goa to take the participation.

Located at a serene spot. Perfect cafe to go to during the monsoons. The wood-fired pizza is amazing.

Went to this place on Saturday with my husband. The ambience is this place at night is very nice, seems like it is in middle of the forest. The staff is very polite. We ordered a lemonade and an iced coffee with a wood oven pizza. The pizza here is amazing without a doubt. The drinks could definitely use some improvement. Also, the glasses used for the drinks weren't very clean. Would definitely request them to check on that.
For the pizza, would definitely love to visit this place again.

The OG of great woodfired vegetarian pizza in Goa. Commerce has taken a little OG charm away but it still stands tall as a well served dining experience.

Beautiful ambience, tasty food and lovely people. Served in earthen ware. And to top it all it's a vegetarian place.

Only problem is the service time. Pizzas took 45-50 minutes and Lasagna took 1 hr 15 minutes. They say because it's done from scratch, so not for people in hurry.

If you are in leisure best place to go.
You even have hand painted Menu cards!

No doubt they have delicious vegan food. Other than this they have lots of things which make them a unique like they have mud house which you can book online, lots of other local events happen here.
Also They have a volunteer system where people can volunteer in restaurant & they will get a stay here. Other than that they have beautiful art gallery.
Beautiful place for hangout with good ambience.
Also they have very welcoming and friendly staff.
You might get the rate bit higher but it's worthy once in a while.

The rooms were really well built , beautiful interiors , each mud house having a different layout . Haven't tried the tree house . The hosts were really welcoming and gentle .
The place also has a cafe with some good ambience and an art gallery.
Overall a nice place situated in a busy city .
Loved the attention to detail for the eco stay .
I would personally have enjoyed it more if the area around the mud houses would be cleaned (removal of dry leaves etc ) .
But overall a good experience.
PS: This is an eco stay with no AC .

Excellent Food, Excellent Place, Excellent People!!! This is the best place for being close to nature and to interact with some wonderful people!! Love their mud houses and very creative dining area... Every construction is beautiful and environment friendly.

This place is unlike Goa. You won't feel like you're in Goa. So, if you want to have the Goa style luxurious beach life, this is not the place to go. But for an amazing experience, it is!!

Their pesto sauce is amazing, every Pizza is lovely, heart warming and super homely.
Thank you Saraya for your authentic ingredients and beautiful hospitality.

A place with really unique decoration and food thanks to the hippies working hard. Kudos!

It will offer delicacies you haven't heard off! We had Peanut Banana ice cream was as unique as the art gallery attached to the place. What's more? This place even has mud houses and tree houses for you to experience natural living.

The service is good but can surely be improved upon. The person taking our order wasn't aware much of the menu so couldn't suggest much. Wish that could have been better.

And, one more thing! 😅
Some members of our group had come to the place earlier and really liked the pizzas which were unfortunately not available during the day.

Ordered two pizzas via Swiggy ,both of the pizzas were delivered completely burnt.

We called up the restaurant to tell them and even sent them the pictures of it and asked them if they wanted us to come there physically
and show them the pizzas.

The person speaking to us was extremely rude and even had the audacity to tell us it’s not so burnt.

We have ordered and eaten here so many times before and never had any problem.

We didn’t want a refund or another pizza , but atleast admit your mistake and apologize.

Very disappointing.

I am reviewing the restaurant only as I did not stay here.
Food was excellent. Service a little slow but portions generous. Saraya is right on the main road. It's a very trendy outdoor restaurant in a rustic garden setting. The seating is casual benches covered with Durries. The flooring is made of broken stones. Overall appearance is charming.
It's part of a complex which includes 'The Shop' on the side and Ecostays ( mudhouses and Treehouses) in the rear.

They have delicious pizza, wood-fired with lovely homemade cheese and fragrant fresh greens straight from the garden. Wholesome and utterly divine. Not to forget the whole ambience with its rustic charm. A must visit for great vegan options including desserts.

About 8km away from the bustling Baga beach, located cozily at Sangolda is Saraya Cafe, a pure vegetarian restaurant serving some mind-blowing food. You can bring your own alcohol, if you wish to drink as they don't serve alcohol here.

The ambiance is amazing and service is very personalised. The choice of music was simply awesome. There is also an Art Room where you can see some works of artists who have been here.

We ordered:
Veg Falafel & Hawaiian Pizza - Both were exceptionally good. The pizza was prepared and baked before us in the oven.
Even the juices here were quite good.
The food here is prepared using mostly ingredients that have been grown on the hotel premises organically.

Overall, it was a very pleasant experience dining here and I would highly recommend this place to all those seeking good food in North Goa.

Food service was quite slow, although there was no crowd. Ambience was very peaceful and good for working.
Must visit place if you are in Goa

Lovely lovely place. Do check out the story of this place before you go. The food is simply amazing, all made fresh from scratch. Probably one of the best pizzas iv had. Very cozy place, loved the vibe.

Also everytime you go, you're in for a surprise with the on the spot events there. If you are anywhere close to North Goa, dont miss going here. Only vegetarian food but lovely ambience, service. Check out their entire premise. You're sure to come out with a happy face and a satisfied stomach

Beautiful place but the service was seriously lacking. We reached the place at 11.30 and lunch time is from noon. So they had nothing from lunch menu. So we ordered a paratha and coffee from the breakfast menu. This took a good hour to be served. For the price the portion size was very less and ok quality too. Wanted to order something from the lunch menu but that was still not ready nor did they show any enthusiasm to make it for us. Finally left after about 90min of coming in.

A great place for wholesome vegetarian organic dinner. The menu has been very delectably crafted and you can see the common ingredients that bind together the dishes. Their meetha parantha in desserts is a must try (one serving is enough for 2-3 people). The place is run by volunteers so you gotta be a little patient and they definitely make it up with their hospitality. They also host a bunch of events and activities over the weekends.
