Cafe Goa in Central Bedfordshire

All 4 dishes were really tasty. Veg biryani with madras sauce, chicken tikka masala, lamb madras and Chef’s special curry. One of the best biryani’s I’ve had in a long while. Staff were lovely and very attentive. Looking forward to returning

Must have caught it on a bad night or I've been spoilt by my usual indusn restaurant but found the food mediocre. It was a quiet night only 2 other tables, the restaurant lacked atmosphere also.

First visit to this restaurant - if I lived nearer, I would eat here regularly. Spoiled for choice on the menu. I had the chef’s special, which was delicious. Even enough to take some home for next day’s lunch. And they do jugs of lassi (sweet, salty or mango).

Great food, great people, simply superb. I went to Barton Le Clay to campaign for much better politics in Mid Beds and we wanted an excellent meal. We found it at Cafe Goa. Please vote for Alan Victor on Thursday - The True and Fair party !! Thank you for a lovely evening.

Cafe Goa is one of our favourite places to eat locally. I had arranged a surprise birthday dinner for my husband Mark for his 60th birthday. He thought it was just five of us going but when we got there all our family were waiting and hidden round the corner in the seating area! They started singing Happy Birthday and Mark was so surprised!! We had a really lovely special evening with the people we love most and were really spoilt by Cafe Goa! The food was absolutely delicious and there was plenty of it and the drinks flowed too!! We couldn’t have celebrated Mark’s birthday any better anywhere else. THANK YOU Cafe Goa for making it such a special evening and a night to remember. Jackie

We had dinner here on 17 March. We are regulars here and have never been let down. As usual the service was very good and we were well looked after. All our food was well prepared, well presented and very tasty. Dinner with drinks was a very reasonable £72. Will gladly return again.

Went for dinner and were very pleased with the options in the menu, managed to have a vegan meal with lots of dishes to chose from. Also the meals were not oil heavy which made them all the more enjoyable.

My partner and I regularly visit this restaurant and have had many take aways, however this evening I was extremely disappointed with the service we received. When placing the order, the man on the phone said it would be 45-50 mins which I accepted. We were still waiting for our food an hour and a half later so I rang the restaurant for an update and the man said it was coming. I explained I had been waiting way over the scheduled time and yet they still could not tell me how long it would be. I asked if we could receive some discount/money off as we had now been waiting over 1 hour 40 mins. The man refused this and said he couldn’t afford to offer me anything so he will not deliver the food. I then explained that this is not good enough and that I shouldn’t have to ring round for another delivery after waiting nearly 2 hours. He then said he would take £1 off the bill, in which I said that’s not acceptable. He then said “take it or leave it” and began laughing. Our food arrived after 1 hour 55 mins and was of course, cold. I understand places are struggling and money is tight for everyone but good customer service costs nothing. The man on the phone was incredibly rude and found the whole conversation highly amusing. Safe to say I won’t be visiting again.

Have been dining here with family and friends for a few years now ,to date the food and service have been consistently on point otherwise I wouldn’t give them my custom. The latest visit was almost no different, food was well presented , fresh , tasted very good and considering we had drinks we were still surprised at how cheap it was . My only reason for not giving 5 stars on this occasion was they had heating on then turned it off just before our main course so it wasn’t as comfortable as it was when we first arrived . Please can you refrain from doing this .

We had a lovely experience this evening. The staff are very friendly and polite. The food was fantastic, really tasty and presented very well.They were great with our daughter and kept her entertained throughout. The little additions at the end were very nice and included a hot towel and mint chocolates with our bill. I would highly recommend this restaurant to couples, families and friends going for dinner.

Our first visit to cafe goa as I’d heard good things. Well it didn’t disappoint, I was worried that my friend who was dying for a curry as they hadn’t had one for ages was going to get a bad one. All three of us said how lovely and fresh the food was and will be back soon. Highly recommended.

Excellent attentive service. Breath of fresh air to have a genuinely great experience. Been here 3 times in last month or so, now ready to review as I think it is thoroughly deserved. Great food each visit and always made to feel so welcome. Good advice and recommendations from waiters, and really friendly. Food is always subjective but all I can say is that the Menu is eclectic with the normal options but also some very different/unusual choices for those willing to try something different. I did and I wasn’t disappointed! Well worth a visit.

Delicious meal at cafe Goa tried the mixed kebab starter this evening was very tasty & filling. I had Prawn sag main which is always tasty (and slimming too) husband had chicken tikka balti said it was very good. No room for desserts but with bill get little chocolate which can never resist nor the little drink given also. Will be back for many more dinners as food & staff both great & never had a bad meal

We went for the buffet dinner at Cafe Goa where you got a starter, main dish, rice or naan bread and a vegetable dish. House specials and Prawn dishes were extra. All pretty standard. However, when the bill came we were charged extra for mushroom rice, chicken Tikka masala, for the boxes to take extras home and for the carrier bag!!! The buffet price was 15.95 and we ended up paying £27.50 each!!!!

We had a family meal for four and it was very good. Sanjay was an excellent waiter with nothing being too much trouble and all dishes came out perfect. Additional chilli, garlic and ginger added which was no problem for them. Would recommend this restaurant

We had a lovely evening. The food was good and the staff are friendly and helpful. I would recommend.

Food was excellent overall, the pakora wasn’t quite right but even without us mentioning it, it was noticed that we hadn’t eaten it all. Not only was it taken off the bill with profuse apology we also were offered a free side dish. The service was friendly and attentive, good wine and beer, we really had a lovely evening. Covid safe, temp taken on entry, hand sanitiser, tables cleaned after every guest. First class Cafe Goa, we will deffo be back, keep up the good work.

Enjoyed a really tasty meal ( Duck Goa) and fabulous friendly service last night. Thanks Naz and team.

We have had delicious meals in the Restaurant before.

As it was fathers day, we thought we would try Cafe Goa instead of our usual Barton-le-Clay Curry house. We were excited to try something different, but I have to say some of the dishes were disappointing. The Chicken Samosas tasted strange, and were tough to eat. The popadoms were not as good as their competitors and the Lamb Madras was ordinary with the meat unrecognisable as Lamb. On the plus side, the Prawn Saag was excellent, as was the Cheese Naan. Unfortunately the mushroom rice had hardly any mushrooms and the Keema Naan had very little meat. We enjoyed the buffet food we had perviously, and will give them another chance, but we were definitely disappointed.

Sunday Buffet 15/3/2020 First class polite service, excellent quality food especially the potato pakora and chicken tikka, nice clean surroundings.

Visited the Goa for first time yesterday. We had the Sunday buffet which was not only delicious but excellent value. Service was first class and atmosphere was lovely and relaxing. Highly recommended.

What a place me and my girlfriend was staying in the area for two nights. Both night we had food he what a amazing place by far the best Indian I have ever been to. And I have been eating Currys for 20 yrars this place is amazing great great staff will be back again when in the area

Man, I love this place . Always order the special chicken jalfrazi Balti. Naz, the guvnor is a lovely guy and the staff are superb...

Very good authentic Indian food, many special I had not seen on a menu before. Great food, good service , reasonably priced, will visit again soon

Very busy for a Thursday evening with a buzzing atmosphere. The meal was hot tasty and supported with great service, the staff were very friendly. Well worth a visit and I would say this is the best Asian restaurant in Barton Le Clay. Paul.

We made a last minute booking for a large group of us. We had such a great experience the food was amazing as usual and all the staff were very attentive and very helpful especially with all the children in our party. It was a lovely way to spend the beginning of our new year!! Thanks Naz and all the staff at cafe Goa

Had a lovely meal here. There are some unusual dishes available, alongside all of the standard ones you’d expect to see.

i have coming to cafe goa for last 6 years but it is always good. new owner is really professional. service is excellent. thank you !!!

Our second Sunday Buffet in a row here, excellent quality food especially the chicken tikka and potato pakora, very clean and tidy, parking out front, polite waiter who leaves you alone.

A group of 21 of us chose Cafe Goa for our Xmas meal, because it was so good last year. The guys here really know what they are doing and they really care about their customers.Everyone really enjoyed their food. Not a single grumble. We ordered a wide variety of food and it was delivered swiftly and presented beautifully.I would definitely recommend Cafe Goa!

We are regulars here, couldn’t ask for better service. Banquet nights are by far our favourite, great value for money.

We visited a good few years ago when the restaurant first opened and were fairly impressed , but being from Luton we generally didn’t venture into BLC that often and so never came back, purely down to our location. However having recently moved into the area we were keen to try Cafe Goa again and have ordered takeaway twice in the last few days. On Both occasions, we have been very impressed, particularly enjoyed the Xacuti . Will need to slowly work through the menu, which we look forward to ..

First meal for us since moving to the village and we have left very full, and happy.

This Indian restaurant is in our village and is the only one we use and visit very regularly. The food and service is always excellent and we highly recommended it. The decor is really nice and all the staff are friendly.

Another great meal at Cafe Goa, Shkeel was very helpful with recommendations, along with all of other the very welcoming staff this was a fantastic evening with amazing food

Had a smashing meal with friends, great food and service. We asked waiter about a couple of dishes and whether they could be made less hot, no problem and good knowledge. Lovely atmosphere. Def go again

Great meal as usual! The staff really welcoming. Varied menu and advice given on what to choose. Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent food and service. Nice variety of dishes on the menu and restaurant itself a good dining experience.

Nice cozy little place with a good selection on the menu. I had the mussels in masala starter which was very nice.

Great food and service. Something a bit different and waiter knew about the different dishes. Lovely setting.

Lovely meal for a family members birthday, with friendly helpful staff who provided a great service. Would recommend a visit.

Came here for the first time the other week, with my daughter and her boyfriend, had a wonderful meal, quality surroundings and superb, attentive service. Couldn't do enough, including offering recommendations for my daughter who fancied something different to the norm.

Each time we dine here we have agreat time. Food is fresh and always served on time

We really appreciated the lengths the staff & chef went to make sure our food matched our dietary requests, I always hate having to ask but they couldn't have been more helpful, & it's the first really delicious dairy free curry we've had for ages. We'll definately be back.

Food is standard takeaway fare (the sort of sub-par but it’ll do kind). Really nothing special and not especially authentic either. Friendly and helpful staff though.

Lovely food and amazing service. Would definetly recommend this place! Credits to all staff for the lovley experience.

Great food, Great service. Friendly staff and great food, sakil is good,we will be back soon, good experience

Really enjoyed this evening great staff and fantastic food thanks chef saifuzzaman Khan.we will be back soon.

It was our first visit to Cafe Goa following a recommendation from friends. They have become regular customers and so we met them there early on a Friday evening. Every member of staff was very attentive throughout the whole evening, and nothing was too much for them. The decor is beautiful, a lot of thought has gone into it, giving a modern but relaxing feel. The place is spotlessly clean, and the food was delicious. The restaurant owner personally comes to see each guest after their meal to check everything was ok, and seems really keen to make every diners experience an excellent one. There is parking in front of the restaurant but this fills up quickly, so allow time to find somewhere to park nearby. We will definitely be going back again and again.

After a 2hr journey from Heathrow we drove straight to Cafe Goa for a lovely family meal.Great food and a new dish was tried and v nice too.Great food!

Friday night 7:00, no booking. They were busy but found space for us. Friendly and attentive staff who wanted to please , very charming. Nicely laid out tables not to close. Great mains of king prawns with aubergine curry, chicken dupiaza and mushroom rice and sag paneer and peas. Good beer.
