The claim alleging that the restaurant and bar serves beef is viral on Twitter with many sharing the image of menu card that has the beef dish mentioned.






 


While serving beef is not an unusual practice in Goa where it is part of the culture, we checked to see if Silly Souls Café actually serves beef or not. We checked the menu card that is being circulated on Twitter using Google Reverse Image search and we found that the menu card of Silly Souls is quite different in design and display of dishes.

On further enquiry we found on Zomato (Food Delivery App) website that the menu card that is being circulated online belongs to Radisson Blu Resort. And, it does not belong to Silly Souls.



Further we checked with a senior food writer and consultant – Nupura Hautamaki from Goa, she informed us that she visited the restaurant when it opened and remembers eating the Pork Bao, but does not remember eating or seeing the Beef dish, "It was a long time ago, and one wouldn't remember all the dishes on the menu, but I Definitely do not remember seeing any beef dish," she explained.

Conclusion: Based on the above investigation where we found that the viral menu card mentioning beef dish does not belong to Silly Souls Restaurant and Bar, and that the food writer does not remember seeing the dish on the menu – we conclude that the claim is a 'False' one.
