cohiba

when in goa this place is must for its seafood. try prawns fish and other delicacies here.

we also had goan style fish curry with rice. an ambience with courteous staff and lively music.

zomato zomato if you have a bone of unbiased reporting in your existence, you won't take down this post like last time.

this is a sort of place that subscribes to the elitist norms that can be traced back to our previous colonizers. don't come here if you have a shred of self respect or dignity. it is a place that advocates high levels of sexism. men and women, if you respect yourself, stay away. i was absolutely harrassed by the manager and bouncers who pushed me ofd the first step when i was headed towards the manager and treated me like i was forcefully trying to enter. my crime you ask ? not wearing shoes. the dress code is this regressive victorian policy was not mentioned or communicated clearly. the bouncer said it's on the website, but it's clearly not. it has not been mentioned on zomato, or on the front of the restaurant. while speaking to the manager about the issue, he left mid conversation and refused to have further engagement as he slithered away into the restaurant. totally ruined my day in goa.

a good place to hang out with friends.. service can be improved.. some food items were great.. some were not. paneer was having a strange smell. mushroom was good. fish fingers were bad, weren't seasoned properly.. ambience is awesome. beverages are great. a must visit place if you are with a nice group and wanna enjoy late night party.

on our recent trip to goa. we went to much heard about place ‘cohiba’. and i must say it is worth the fame. staring from food which was super delicious. to the live music which adds on the the experience besides the beautiful ambience of the place. definitely worth a visit.

we just went to this place today as suggested by one of the localite. really uncourteous staffs and manager. they didn't even bother to acknowledge our presence and to top it all they just denied us seating saying every table is reserved(only few of them had reservation block) eventhough half of the restaurant was empty. the manager was talking to us as if he was doing us a favor by arranging seats for us. they don't know to respect customers and need a big lesson in hospitality. i am surprised to see that zomato latest reviews which are negative are conveniently pushed to last making users believe this place is good. all are working hand in hand to promote the wrong places.

we stepped in without a reservation, i guess that was our first mistake as a tourist. we ideally should have been aware that if we don’t have a reservation we won’t be treated as guests but some unwanted strangers. we asked the person who seemed to be managing the reservation if we can get a place for 2 preferably where the band was playing. he asked us wait for a bit so that he can confirm. after a few minutes he walks out saying they don’t have a place inside, however we can wait until there are some cancellations. until then we can occupy a table outside. we saw an empty table and assumed it’s unoccupied hence went asked a waiter if we can occupy the same. at this time the manager/head signalled the waiter to say no. we walk up to him (manager) again, that’s when he says actually we don’t have tables available whereas half of the restaurant was empty and so was the bar counter. i guess they would need a lesson or two on hospitality given that they run a supposedly “good” restaurant.

sit back, relax & sip on cocktails !!

yes, cocktails are the best present you can give to yourself. on my recent trip to goa, i spent one of the night partying @cohibagoa - the vibe of the place is awesome. just loved the music, crowd, ambience, drinks & food. it’s a complete package. it must be on your #mustvisit list next time whenever you’re planning a trip to goa. this pub is located near candolim beach, which is easily accessible & one of the cleanest beach in goa.

the party @ cohiba started at 8pm and went on till 5am in the morning. we kicked off the party with these set of cocktails (in the pic). every drink was authentically made & it’s worth every sip.

1️⃣ bikini martini - vodak, malibu, dry vermouth with pineapple juice & grenadine

2️⃣ bullfrog - tequila, vodka, gin, white rum with red bull & lime

3️⃣ black on black - blended scotch, black current with sweet & sour gingerale

these cocktails were followed by some more delicious & potent cocktails, followed by beers, whiskey & shots. it was a night full of drinks. coming to the food.. although we didn’t order much but whatever we ordered was too good. we called for breaded mushrooms - crunchy mushrooms stuffed with cheese, which was served with veggies & garlic dip. we also called for goan style chicken chilli fry - chicken cooked in goan spices along with veggies.

overall our experience and time spent at cohiba was worth every minute & penny.

located near candolim ahead of sinq, cohiba is a place to be to witness goa’s best live music. the live band is absolutely amazing. by far, the best i have ever seen and was surprised to see something like this in goa. they start around 11 and go on till 1. after that, the dj takes over to play some groovy music. the ambiance is well lit and perfect to go either with your partner or with friends. be sure to make a reservation if you would like to sit inside where the band plays. coming to the food, they have a decently priced menu with sufficient options to choose from.
we had ordered sun ripe tomato soup, chilli cottage cheese, chatpata fries, chilli cheese naan, paneer kadai. for drinks we had beers and lits.
food is average priced and tastes really good.
they also serve some amazing sheeshas. a bit expensive but totally worth it.
be sure to visit this place if you are in north goa.

i would not recommend my friends to dine at cohiba as we felt very unwelcomed . service was not that great . it's more for the young crowd .

good live music on certain nights where they have very good bands playing. after 11 pm all the dancers come on the floor after that its a happening party. creme crowd in goa turn up here . love the ambience. smoking zones are seperate

kids are not allowed in the enclosed area.

beautiful cocktails, junglee fries, fish fingers served with kokum mayo, nice biryani

overall 5+ experience.

the place has a nice vibe... jam packed on a wednesday night...good crowd
ambience:4/5
food and drinks: 4/5
service:3/5
overall it was a good choice to come here... good job!!!

i can remember this place for its great music on the dance floor!!

we went here for an evening with friends and enjoyed the drinks and food offered by this place, in its multi level and variety of seating options. the place is tastefully designed as per goan theme and is strongly recommended for fun evenings with music.

i had a great experience at cohiba. i went there on a wednesday night around 10 p.m. and came back to my hotel at 3 a.m. i really enjoyed the live music and good food. the place gets crowed by 11 p.m. they have both indoor and outdoor sitting area. if you are in north goa then you should definitely give this place a try.

really disappointed how this place has gone to the dogs. slow service, bad music system, lights tripping, uncomfortable seating. one could easily believe that one is in a delhi restaurant because cohiba has lost it's goan character

went there on a wednesday, which is also their ladies night.
found the food to be average. the potato and cheese croquets were decent. chicken cafreal was chewy and probably made with frozen chicken. the chilli mushroom was again average.
loved the place for it's music (great band) and service.
one thing that really bogged us down was that they were giving away complimentary cosmos to ladies, which were really bad and poorly done.
