Ros Omelette, Goan Cutlet Pao, Prawn Chilli Pao, etc on streets exactly how you get in Goa is every Pune foodie’s dream! For all those foodies, Viva Goa is a dream come true! We recently stumbled upon this colorful food truck in NIBM and had to eat there owing to the amazing aromas coming out of their kitchen. Cherry on the top is that the truck opens at 4:30 am in the morning and starts dishing out hot Ros Omelettes. The truck is also open in the evening dishing out the same menu!

Run super efficiently by Max who himself hails from Goa, Viva Goa has a dreamy menu and you almost feel beachy when you arrive here. As they say Goa is a state of mind! The menu here features a variety of fish from the staple prawns to exotic Calamari too. With this, the regulars like Bangda, Surmai, Black Pomfret, Mandeli fish keep popping on his menu. All the authentic flavours like Racheado, Xacuti, typical Goan curry, etc are there in Viva Goa and they are all spot on!

Max says he brings all the fish fresh from the market everyday and they are well marinated before frying on tawa! The pungent and spicy aromas coming out from the food truck are so inviting that one can help but stop. The crowd there for takeaways and quick snacks is a mark of good quality yummy food!

For quick snacks, opt for a chicken cutlet or fish cutlet stuffed in soft pav which is priced nominally at just Rs. 75/-! Same goes for the fiery and fresh prawns chilli fry stuffed in pav! These cutlets are a bit crunchy and a lot meaty. There’s no dish here at Viva Goa with subtle flavours. They all pack a punch with bold Goan flavours! Max fries all fishes fresh on order only. This maintains the crunch of the fish and you get a piping hot choice of fish.

Well, it is not just fish at this food truck! Viva Goa also has quite essential Goan chicken preparations like Chicken Xacuti, Chicken Cafreal and the super famous Ros Omelette too! All these dishes here are to die for. We got a taste of all of it, thanks to Max who’s such a kind chef! He’s quite chatty and we saw him talking to customers personally while still being behind the kitchen. This gives you the confidence to try out all the dishes, especially when the owner himself is the chef.

Viva Goa comes with a strong recommendation from team Urbanly for the fresh fish, bold and authentic flavours, super affordable prices and yes, for being open at 4:30 in the morning and late in the evening too!
