Why The Authentic Goan Cuisine At Martin's Corner In Betalbatim Is A Must Try
What Makes It Awesome
Martin’s Corner began as a humble corner shop and has since transformed into a spacious, vibrant restaurant. The walls, adorned with Mario Miranda's iconic artwork, exude a nostalgic charm that attracts large crowds throughout the day. Signature dishes like pork sausages and batter-fried calamari shine on the menu, although the rawa fry kingfish could use some refinement. Their Martin’s special cocktails and indulgent desserts, such as tender coconut soufflé and serradura, are definite standouts. Located in Betalbatim, Martin’s Corner captures the essence of Goan hospitality and heritage, making it a must-visit.
Despite its off-the-beaten-path location, Martin’s Corner appears unexpectedly, and during peak season, it’s common to find a line of eager patrons outside. This upscale Goan restaurant is expansive, attracting a diverse crowd of locals, couples, and tourists, all relishing dishes like crab. Perfect for leisurely afternoons, its vindaloo, xacuti, and recheado masalas leave guests savoring every bite. Known for its exceptional seafood (even Sachin Tendulkar praises their king crab), it’s a must-try on any Goa trip. While the menu also offers reliable Chinese and Tandoori options, Martin’s is where you should embrace Goan classics like butter garlic calamari, Goan sausage, or rawa-fried fish.
Bonus: They have a massive parking lot and peppy live music on most evenings.

What Could Be Better
If you're after fresh catch of the day, the portion might be too big if you aren't sharing with a group. Also, a meal here will not be the most affordable one you have in Goa.
LBB Tip
We recommend booking a table for it even though Martin's is huge, it gets packed especially on weekends. Vegetarians could avoid visiting as the options are limited and not that great.
