Raki Modern Mezze and More — Restaurant in Goa

An excellent restaurant!

The bar menu has been very carefully curated with the best of spirits, wines, liqueurs and beers....

The cocktails that they have 'crafted' seem interesting and I do intend to have one or two on my next visit.....

The food menu is again varied and appetizing. However, if you aren't majorly into Mediterranean cuisine, it would be best to seek recommendations from the very amiable and knowledgeable staff, giving them your preferences, restrictions, allergies etc.

Rest assured the staff will ensure you have a great meal!

The hummus was par excellence! The salad accompaniments were fresh and crisp besides being cut and seasoned to perfection!

Lamb was recommended to us and it sure was very nicely prepared!

The ice-creams are nice but we found them to be a bit too sweet, but then chefs in India do deliberately extra sweeten their confectionery to cater to the extra sweet palates of most Indians!

Interestingly, there's a nice section of north Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes along with Indian breads for those who aren't too keen on Mediterranean dishes.

And, most crucially (from my personal perspective) they have very nice Raki imported from Turkey!

Located very centrally in Panjim, this is a place I would recommend strongly without hesitation.

If you decide to go for lunch then you have the added pleasure of breathtaking view of the sea from the 11th floor of the Crescent Hotel where this lovely little restaurant is.

On Sundays they have a branch buffet, the description of which by the staff was quite fascinating and inviting.

To the management and staff of the Raki - I would say, keep up the great job, do not cut corners and maintain the niche which you have creatively carved for yourselves! All...

We went here for dinner 9 adults and a 3 year old. It is on the 11th Floor of the Crescent. Seating is both indoor and outdoors. We decided to sit on the outside. The weather was great. The ambience even better. We're vegetarians and they have a great variet of options for vegetarians. We ordered the Signature Raki Hummus, Cream Cheese and Feta Falafel, Truffled Mushroom Bakhlava, Halloumi Sambusek. Every single one of these dishes was worth every rupee paid. The Mushroom Bakhlava so buttery and flavourful. My 3 year old ate 3 out of the 5 pieces served. The Halloumi was like little pillows of air. The hummus was easily the best damn hummus i ever ate, comes with 4 small pita breads the kid at this too. The falafels we great, a tad bit heavy as expected but great. And lastly we asked them to make a small portion of rice for the kid without chillies and pepper, unfortunately they made a whole portion out of it but it was one of the most flavourful bowl of rice ever made. Included a mildly curried rice with lots of vegetables cooked beautifully and the spices well balanced making sure it was just right for the child. Too full to order any dessert. The service was great too. Kunal took our order, he was polite friendly and prompt. Had great meal. Highly...
