Saw smoke pouring out of a vintage yellow taxi in Saligao and had to pull over. Turns out, the entire boot has been converted into a live barbecue grill! 🔥🚖
This is Smoke Barbeque Taxi (originally a popular franchise from Karnataka), serving up fresh, sizzling street-side BBQ cooked right on the spot over hot coal. Perfect rainy weather comfort food that’s big on smoke, spice, and super light on the pocket. What we liked:
Chicken Tikka (Hot & Spicy & Peri Peri): Tender, boneless, and packed with flavor - ₹200 for 8 pieces
Chicken Leg: Freshly grilled and smoky - starts at just ₹99
Paneer Tikka: Great smoky char for the veg crowd
(The owner and regulars also swear by the grilled pineapple, definitely on the list for next time!)
📍 Location: Main road, Saligao, Goa (Next to the Church / Mr. D’Souza food truck)
