Bar Goa is an excellent spot to enjoy delicious food and unique cocktails. I was impressed by the quality of the dishes and the innovative flavor combinations. The Butter Chicken Croquettes were a delightful twist on a classic, while the Fried Chicken Xacuti Wings brought a burst of bold flavors. The Grilled Lamb Chop was tender and flavorful. The cocktails at Bar Goa were exceptional, with each one offering its own distinct and tantalizing taste. The Mango Sangria was refreshing and fruity. The manager further enhanced the welcoming atmosphere, ensuring a memorable experience. Whether you’re planning a night out with friends or a special date, Bar Goa is a fantastic choice.

A vibrant place to find fusion Indian food. Great music to go along with decor of coastal Goa. Love those long shutter doors. The front desk lady has some difficulty in finding our Resy reservation but once she found it we were seated quickly. We had Kai as our sever who was super nice. Seating space is a bit crowded but there is some outdoor seating also available. Bar is viewable and it is fun to see your drinks made. Very fast service which can sometime feel that one is rushed…food quality is great with mix of Goan spice as well as continental touch. Most of the food was mild in terms of spice level. We started off with the Chicken Malai Tikka which was more cheese than chicken but extremely delicious nonetheless. Then we moved on to the Keema Chili Fries which were extremely flavorful yet mild in terms of spice. And then…my daughter made the biggest mistake haha. She ordered the Spicy Chicken Burger. Now she was warned that it was spicy but had no idea how spicy it would be. The sandwich had barely touched her tongue when the mouth burst into flames. When I tell you that this sandwich is HOT, I mean it. It felt like they took every pepper in the world and put it all into this one sandwich. I mean honestly you should have to sign a waiver before you order it because that sandwich is d e a d l y. The manager however was gracious enough to refund for this. However, despite the soul snatching experience, I would still give this restaurant a 4/5. The rest of the menu was amazing, the staff were extremely kind, and the music choice was a 20/10.

Came here for their happy hour and left pleasantly surprised! My sangria was strong but I enjoyed the fresh fruit that was added in. Service was okay, when we first came in I told the hostess I had a reservation and they were a little rude about it because they didn’t see my name. It wasn’t busy so we still were able to get a table. Overall good but not sure if I’ll come back.

Very delicious cuisine. This text Indian cuisine and elevate said significantly. I’ve never tasted any Indian food like this. If you’re looking for something unique and experiential for a date, night or anniversary, this is the place for you. If you’re looking to celebrate something or treat someone to something not ordinary, then this is a place for you. The service was fantastic. The food was exceptional. The ambiance and interior design was also fantastic. I’m at the manager. She was a very pleasant person. She mentioned that the restaurant existed to expose the rest of the world to the wonders of India. I think this restaurant did the job well.

So I’ve been to this place twice. The first time we were waiting on a friend to show so we didn’t order anything and by the time he came the kitchen was closed (kitchen closes at 930 p on Thursdays). The drinks were great though. I had the lychee one and the sea foam.

Cute place, but it felt very crowded. I we went a part of 3, we split 3 appetizers and were comfortable on that alone and took our entrees home. The Pick Your Passion Cocktail was probably one of the best cocktails I’ve had. We had a nicer severe but even before it got busy it felt like he forgot about our table.

We went for a dinner here yesterday, and I must say the service, ambience and the food is great. There drinks are very interesting and unique as well. The food portions are small, very much like one dish per person in main course, but other than that absolutely loved our time here, great ambience, great food, excellent service.
