Asanjo means OURS, the restaurant is the dream plan at Goa. And then turn into a reality by 4 friends. Thus the name is perfectly apt, not only for them but for us too. When at Asanjo you can surely feel the warmth, connect and feeling of belonging.
We began our lunch by calling for some mocktails; Dusky Damsel:
A perfect blend of black current crush, grape juice and on the corner of the glass it has the black salt, its sweet and salty and totally a great try!
Spicy Senorita:
A perfect drink to start the meal, it’s a mix of Orange, lemon and tomato juice, green chilli, Tabasco, honey and black pepper. True to its name, it’s genuinely spicy, so order only if you’re a fan of spicy drink.
Cucumber and Jalapeno Margarita:
It has cucumber or jalapeno muddled with sour mix and cayenne pepper. It’s quite refreshing, but order if you like Jalapeno, else you can skip the Jalapeno one and go for the Cucumber one 😉
