Ma Goa in Wandsworth

Our local little gem in Putney. Great food, friendly staff and the wine shop (Glug) next door has a great selection of some really good wines, cheese and nibbles.

Outstanding food! The samosas and tarka dal were especially tasty.

I started going to Ma Goa about 12 years ago, it felt like a high end experience. It has had a rebrand (street) and new, smaller menu. The starters are great, from the poppadoms, to the prawns and to the lamb chops. But something goes wrong with the mains. Bland, bitter, dry meats whether its chicken (they should use thighs instead of breast), lamb or talapia (I cook talapia regularly, a sweet, tender fish) it's a bit of a chew. The wine list is limited too. Gone are the buttery, silky, curries of its previous incarnation. Not bad but not exceptional.

DONT GO HERE.Front of houseI arrived and the lady was trying to help me locate my table. All of a sudden some male staff interjects, blocks my way, and makes it as if there was never a reservation. Its a tiny restaurant. The staff should not act like night club bouncers. Waited +5-8 minutes to be allowed in.FoodI dont understand how the chef ruined something as uncomplex as a paratha and Murgh. TOO SALTY! And to make things worse, there was a HUGE lump of salt in my food which i bit into.Impossible to eat.The paratha was dry and literally a naan dipped in oil.A Paratha is NOT just a naan dipped in oil paratha was also hard, perhaps been left out from someone elses meal. Who knows.. but what a shame.ServiceAwful, throughout the meal. The waitress was almost abrasive when serving. Did not feel welcome at all.DessertAs if the salty murgh was not bad enough. Icecream comes out, and the cone is BROKEN.This meant that the icecream was LEAKING while i was eating.

Amazing meal. Probably better than Dishroom and way less crowded. Good service and really good cocktails! Highly recommend everything.

Such a special place! Incredibly tasty food, packed full of flavour! The staff are all so friendly and made us feel so welcome. A short walk from the Putney stations, and there is even a bus stop right outside.

A lovely little secret! Great dishes, really good, excellent wine (+corkage) but still at very good prices. And above all, very good, friendly staff/service. Overall, well worth the 40 minute Uber ride!

Always great food and friendly staff. This is one of those places where you feel welcome. Was first time that actually got table without booking. Portions are just right and prices are not eye-watering. Only thing that might make you cry is their spiciest dish 😁

Great fresh Goan dishes! Lovely ambeince. Food served in great style! Modern Regional (Goa) Indian cooking at its best! Fresh flavours. Next door a lovely little wine shop GLUG where one can buy Portuguese wines to go with the Portuguese influenced Goan food. A must visit in Putney!

Beautiful food and friendly service. We asked for recommendations and they were spot on. Murgh mahkni - which was charcoal grilled chicken in creamy sauce, was my favourite. Their dessert of three small dishes was also amazing. What a gem! Will definitely be coming back here soon.
