A lovely place with an amazing ambience with live music almost every evening. The food was exceptional… especially the crepe Suzette is a must try … also the ghee roast with Appam. We were well looked after by Dominique the manager who was also a highly talented musician/singer.

Great mix of Goan and global dishes. Really enjoyed the Vindaloo and Xec Xec, Chorizo… rich and authentic flavours. The menu has good variety, and the drinks list is solid too. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Such a lovely place! We reserved a table for 7 via google. And our reservation was accepted. However, there was no one present (a host/hostess) to guide us to our reservation, or let alone to even ask us anything. After finding ourselves a table big enough, it took them a whole 10 mins to send across a waiter. Service is super super slow. However we were very happy with our server, Arjun. Patient and kind guy. We chose the place because it had live music, but it was so disappointing. He didn’t have the best voice, he didn’t sing the right music to suit the moods of people. The crowd looked bored to death, and yet he didn’t change his tempo. A suggestion, please do play some kind of music like commercial English, to ease the mood. Coming to the food, we started off with: - Crispy Chicken Strips, which could’ve done with some more seasoning or spices. The garlic sauce with it was divine! - Cheesy Fish Fingers, absolutely delish! - Chicken Tandoori, the best I’ve ever had. Not greasy, and so so masaledar. Even the masala was spot on! - Beef Tongue Roast, succulent, not smelly and a MUST TRY! - Batter Fried Squids, lovely! - Kingfish Masala Rawa Fry, the rechado was spot on and homely ! Fish was fresh as well. Coming to main course : - Prawns Fried Rice and Chicken Fried Rice, average. - Mushroom and Paneer Veg Gravy (forgot the name), something we all enjoyed. A different combination but yum to the taste buds - Butter Chicken, massive let down. Tomato Based Gravy, forgot the cream. - Beef Fry and Appams, spot on. MUST TRY! Have tasted better Appams. All in all, the food was delicious and clean. You don’t feel bloated. Ambience: 5/5 Food : 5/5 VFM: 4/5

on my benaulim beach visit, tried Leda Balcao for dinner. ordered Butter Chicken which was a little spicy for my taste, but liked it with Rice. Great service and live music made it a good dine out with wifey.

The service is slow and most authentic dishes from Goa are not available. The staff is mostly after foreign guests and at their personal service over other guests.

Disgustingly loud music. So loud that I could not even hear what my friend is saying. Nowhere in the world the live music is played this loud at a restaurant. Many times a real Taylor Swift music concert is less loud. It ruined my entire evening even though food was okay and waiters were good. I requested the manager there to reduce the volume; the manager was reasonably helpful, but the people playing music there turned the sound up through the roof again. I saw people actually leaving restaurant because the music was loud. Additionally, the bands playing there were mediocre. The music was so loud that I could not understand a word of what they were singing. The whole experience was a disaster. I am never coming back to this place.

I had booked this place for 31st on 30th. My booking was confirmed. However when I went there with my family, the restaurant said they haven’t received the booking. There can be miscommunication however the way people at the restaurant behaved while telling this was extremely rude and unprofessional. They said they haven’t received the booking and asked my family to go out and resolve the issue in spite of showing the confirmation message. My request to both Zomato and Leda to kindly have better ways of communicating with each other so that people like me don’t have experience like this in future!
