The Hidden Bohemian Alley In Goa | Shanti Street | Episode | S2 E11 | The Big Forkers

Connecting with people, their idea of food and life is what we forkers love to bring to you through our content. We love to explore these unfiltered stories and conversations.
This whole experience felt like an alternate life thriving in Goa. People from all across the globe who are on their own beautiful journey to find their own version of Shanti!
We will not tell you where this place is in Goa. It’s a hidden gem and we want to keep it that way. This place has a vibe of its own and we would hate to see it become a touristy spot.

I woke up depressed today - stuck at home in the lockdown, life's going nowhere. And then out of the blue youtube recommended this video. And it's absolutely flipped my mood. Reminded me that there's so much to look forward to once life gets back to normal. So in anticipation of all the good things that will come soon (inshallah), I'm going to ask the depression to fuck off. For today atleast. And then tomorrow I'll watch another video of yours 😅

[@TheBigForkers]

Welcome to the show Nishant

@nishant we just checked out your stand up. Its refreshingly funny and entertaining. Ping us directly www.thebigforkers.com contact page or through IG.

[@rohitpathak4354]

The fact that you guys want to keep it hidden, says a lot about your commitment to food and preserving the hippie/bohemian culture that is quintessential to Goa.

[@dhruvmadan8283]

Shouting out name of the pubs.... is enough.... like bran made the king instead of Jon snow (Targaryen)

[@sukantpanigrahi76]

A lot of people seem to know the name of the place but yeah you are right. If this was a televised show or if this channel would have had a wider reach(will for sure in future) it'll be different. Most of the restaurants these people visit would mostly benefit from a bigger crowd(some of them are already famous) but at places like these the locals would get upset if there was a huge tourist crowd. Many restaurants have gotten ruined due to heavy inflow of tourist crowds all over the world.

[@TheGhost094]

Bhai. Do you really think this is a hidden street? It's near one of the most commercialised locations in Goa.

[@aditya89]

I don't think they have tried too much to keep it hidden, the names of the bars and pubs give it away... Its an awesome hook in start though, creates the curiosity for all to watch the full video...

[@rohitpathak4354]

Yeah...true. It took me 5 minutes on Google Maps to find out the 'Shanti Street'... I did the search on google maps after this comment

BY FAR the best episode of the Goa season. Just loved this part of Goa.... would love to go there but will not go because I want to eave that part of Goa true to what it symbolisms..... respect to those amazing guys in this street..... whatever the name be of this street.......This is one episode I wish I were really with you guys....

[@NoahMartins]

Awesome video. As a Goan, really appreciate that you didn't reveal the location 🙏. It would be great if we could share these hidden gems with everyone, but alas, the more popular any of these places get, the more they get trashed and filled with garbage

I am gonna be that guy (a**hole) who points out the oxymoronic nature of this street's people....for the people who always rave about inclusivity and sharing nature (Hippees)..they came out to pretty exclusive and protective of their street and culture!!!..but no matter...we got to see our 2 friends though...love you guys...waiting for the next one!!!!

[@QueenGurmehar]

Unfortunately majority of the tourist who fling to these places don't share the same ideas. I've seen the same thing happen to Anjuna, Tosh, Kasol, Gokarna, and a ton of other places that turned into a crowded mess since people started writing about them in blogs.

[@averagemiddleclassgamer]

@Sonam Haldwani I see your point :) but all the places you mentioned are responsible for changing themselves according to Tourists...you cant blame the tourists because locals changed themselves for trying to earn money from tourists hence the commercialization of the above mentioned places...there are many places in Goa which are famous but they have not changed their core values...all I believe is that keeping the place secret because more people will start coming to visit is a little selfish :) :) but no blame to the guys they tried to share as much as they can

[@averagemiddleclassgamer]

@@abii5791 bhai bilkul sahi keh rahe ho..lekin agar locals chahe to kisi ki himmat nahi hai uss jagah ki vibe badalne ki...wahi agar local paisa chhapne baith jaaye to jagah commercialize ho jaayegi...tourist ko toh jo local bechenge tourist wahi khareedega...mujhe to ye log kuch selfish lage ki hum apni acchi cheeze kisi se share nahi karenge!! but its my opinion... :) :) :)

Nice Vlog,i am finding it hard to recognise this street i have been to every nook and corner thanks to my creepy apartment, couldnt stay alone till my uncle came home in that apartment. so thanks to my splendor and petrol price in Goa that time 2001 to be specific splendor could run 10kms by just whiff of petrol (JK).

I think you should've gone for a different color grading for Paulo's - the place has more of a grungy dive bar vibe, but you are making it look like a brightly lit bistro.

Hey All ! I was just wondering ... Goa is in complete lockdown now ... but are you guys still in Goa ? Considering that this clip was released just on May 21 and Goa has been locked in since a week now .. Are you you guys locked in Goa and will be blogging from there itself ? BTW back to Goa talks you all must review Anand Bar in Arpora .. its a rustic place very cheap booze and food also if you can do a jibe at Cafe Suzzegado Suza right at Calangute circle .. I had been eyeing this place since the first time I went to Goa as a married person (married since 2002 and done Solo trips since adulthood maybe back from 1995 -- riding trips Mumbai to Goa on 100cc bikes and driving trips in 118NE and Maruti 800s ) and then finally got to be there now in 2021 .. it was not all that great but maybe you guys need to be there and give us a review of the place.
