The first time you open the Dubki menu, it can feel like a lot: 50 dishes, a dozen cuisines, and almost everything priced between ₹445 and ₹795. If you are searching dubki goa what to order, this guide gives you a simple way to read the card, a few sample orders sized by appetite, and the small mistakes that tend to push first-time bills higher than people expect.
Quick answer: Order small plates to share rather than one main each. For two people, three or four plates is usually enough: one dim sum, one signature starter (the Mushroom Xacutti Samosa Cone or Joojeh Kebab are good first picks), one bigger plate such as the Mutton Mandi or Paella Seafood, and a dessert. Expect roughly ₹2,500–3,700 for two before drinks once the 10% service charge and GST are added.
How the Dubki menu is laid out
The card is split into salads, veg starters, non-veg starters, dim sum, flat breads and burgers, mains and desserts. The thing to notice is that the starters section is the heart of the menu. There are 32 starters and only six mains, so the kitchen is clearly built around sharing plates rather than a starter-main-dessert routine.
Prices are tightly bunched. The cheapest item is French Fries at ₹325, the most expensive are the Paella Seafood and Mutton Mandi at ₹795, and the most common price on the card is ₹545. That means you rarely need to agonise over value between dishes. Pick by flavour, not price. You can see every line with its price on our full Dubki menu with prices.
Things worth knowing before you sit down
- All prices are before a 10% service charge and government taxes.
- Drinks prices are not published anywhere we have found, so budget separately for them.
- Opening hours are not confirmed. Public listings disagree, and one has shown dining as temporarily closed. Call +91 86238 88190 before you travel.
A simple four-step way to order
- Start with one dim sum basket. The Cream Cheese Dumplings (₹445) or Truffled Wild Mushroom Hargao (₹495) arrive quickly and set the tone without filling you up.
- Add one or two starters that you would not find elsewhere. The Mushroom Xacutti Samosa Cone uses a Goan spice blend in an unexpected format; the Grilled Mediterranean Poiee Sandwich puts a local bread to work with tzatziki, hummus and muhammara.
- Decide whether you need a “big plate”. If you are hungry, the Mutton Mandi (₹795), Paella Seafood (₹795) or Khao Pad Karpao (₹575) anchor the table. If you are grazing with drinks, skip mains entirely.
- Share one dessert. There are only two: Russian Honey Cake and the upside-down Fallen Ice Cream, both ₹445.

Dishes that make sense on a first visit
If you want something Goan
The Mushroom Xacutti Samosa Cone (₹545) and the Thai Fried Fish with Balachung (₹675) both borrow from Goan flavours. The Patatas Bravas (₹645) come with a Goan chorizo fricassee, which is a quick way to taste the region’s sausage if you eat pork.
If you want something safe
The Fried Chicken Burger, Peri Peri Chicken Slider, Nachos and potato wedges are easy wins for anyone who is not in an adventurous mood. They are not the most interesting things on the card, but they are reliably filling.
If you want the most “Dubki” plates
Look for the mash-ups: the Japanese Truffled Avocado Pizzette on a tortilla base, the Taka Tak Paneer Taco in a crispy gyoza-sheet shell, or the Rice Paper Wrap Chicken Parcel with khao suey sauce. These are the dishes that show what the kitchen is trying to do. Our round-up of Dubki best dishes goes deeper on which ones stand out.
First-visit mistakes to avoid
- Ordering one main each. With only six mains, two people ordering two mains will often end up with similar, heavy plates. Mix a main with starters instead.
- Forgetting the extras. A ₹2,000 menu subtotal becomes about ₹2,310 after service and GST, before a single drink.
- Over-ordering fried food. Calamari, wedges, rissois, cauliflower and katsu are all crumbed or fried. Balance them with something grilled (kebabs) or saucy (curries, dumplings).
- Turning up without calling. Hours have not been confirmed by the restaurant on any listing we trust, so ring first.
How much to order per person
A rough rule: one and a half to two plates per person for a proper meal, one plate per person if you are mainly there for drinks and the view. Dim sum portions are designed to be shared, while the Mutton Mandi and Paella Seafood are heavier and can stretch between two with a starter alongside. If you are unsure, order in rounds. Starting with three plates and adding a fourth is cheaper than leaving food on the table.
