The food and drinks are excellent. We had the global nomad and Malabar Old-fashioned. Perfectly executed mix of cocktails. The food was on point. The sabudana vada is the second best thing after my mom’s. The kababs are delicious and juicy. Overall great Western India influenced food. Definitely recommend for all age groups.

Went for their restaurant week brunch, and this place did not let down! Started off with some aloo chaat and paneer chili. Will definitely return for the paneer chili – it was incredibly flavorful and spicy. Then got the paneer makhani and mushroom fried rice for the mains. Paneer makhani was a bit of a let down and tasted like tomato only, but the fried rice was delicious and flavorful! Also got a pitcher of their mango sangria, which gave us 6 glasses and was a great deal! Overall the food and ambiance was good. Will definitely return to check out their other food!

We recently hosted a birthday party for about 20 guests at Bar Goa, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. Everything was organized so thoughtfully and seamlessly. The team helped us curate the perfect menu for our group and even arranged personalized menu cards, which added such a special touch.
The service was outstanding—attentive, warm, and professional throughout the evening. The food was absolutely delicious, and every single guest had a wonderful time.
We’re especially grateful to the owners, Manish and Reena, for their incredible attention to detail and for making the celebration feel so personal and memorable. Highly recommend Bar Goa for any special occasion or otherwise!

Disappointed….. We went for Saturday lunch, and we were the only four customers in the restaurant for quite some time. Looking at reviews, our expectations were set high, but the food served drained all the excitement. The Malai Kabab and the Goan curry were not at all flavorful, and most importantly, they were served cold. Just because we were served complimentary Dahi Puri, I am giving it a 2-star. The price does not justify the portion size or the quality of the food. Definitely not revisiting and won’t recommend to my friends.

My friend and I came here for dinner on Friday night and were able grab a table without a resso (plenty of options actually). Our food and drinks arrived quickly. The drinks are fruity and delicious, I enjoyed the creative options on the drink menu. Foodwise was flavorful and memorable with the shrimp fried rice (has a kick, large portion, would get it again), butter chicken croquet (addictive makhani sauce balancing the crispy croquet). We also tried the kebab sampler which gave a bite of different kebab options. It was quite filling and on the dryer side, wishing there’s an accompanying sauce like a garlic/habanero aioli. Overall a good spot, will come back to check out their HH too!

Drawn by the name, we hoped Bar Goa would capture the spirit of Goa—but aside from a few wall photos and select dishes, the connection felt faint.
We started with appetizers: Sabudana Vada and Chilli Cheese Kulcha. The vada, with curry leaves, felt more like a creative twist than a traditional take—it didn’t quite reflect its Maharashtrian or Goan roots. The kulcha was decent, though it lacked the expected chili kick. The Global Nomad cocktail was well-balanced and enjoyable.
For the main course, we had Goan Chicken Curry with Mushroom Fried Rice and Garlic Naan. The chicken was tender, but the curry lacked the bold coastal punch we were hoping for. The fried rice was forgettable. That said, the portions were generous and fair for the price. A naan mix-up was caught and corrected quickly—kudos to our attentive server, Matt.
Dessert was the highlight. Both the Kulfi Flight and Rasmalai Cassata were delicious—not Goan, but a great way to end the meal.
The space is mellow and dimly lit. It was quiet during dinner service, which we didn’t mind—no wait, no noise. There was a small inflation surcharge on the bill, but we let it slide given the warm and courteous service.
Overall, a decent dining experience—but if you’re seeking true Goan flavors, you may leave still searching.

The restaurant food and atmosphere are good. The only problem is the portion is very less as per the price. Also they charge gratuity as 20% if you stay after 10PM not depending on no of persons.
We ordered appetizers butter chicken croquettes and shrimp kolidwada. We liked both of them but will recommend trying butters chicken croquettes. In the main course we ordered Malabar paratha and Goan chicken curry both combination are very good and tasty. Overall I will recommend visiting if you like to try good Goan Indian food.

Food did not taste that good. Not authentic nor flavorful. We tried kabab platter. Service was okay and had to remind the server to get us water and silverware. They Served food before drinks.

We went for Restaurant Week lunch special, which included a drink, an app, a main, and a dessert. The mango lassi was decent, though the quantity was sooo small, probably around 8oz? The two appetizers were both super flavorful, one was aloo chat and the other chili paneer, we cleaned the PLATES of these two. The lamb vindaloo entree was also very flavorful and the lamb pieces were quite tender. What I’m giving a four star to is the chicken curry, which was a disappointment to both of us. We love Indian food and eat it regularly, but idk something about this curry flavor was quite off, we felt like any other Indian restaurant we’ve had do chicken curries better.

Ambiance is good and pretty. We were served by Melissa , she was good and was attentive to order being served.
Cauliflower 65 was decent taste, Amritsar’s kulcha and pindi chole was amazingly good
Most interesting thing is masala Goan Dal- which had boondi, green chutney tamarind chutney and pomegranate- taste was good but I am not sure whether its really Goan Dal though 😛
Portions were very small and bit expensive comparison with the quantity being served.
