Zeebop by the Sea — Restaurant in Goa

Magical! That’s the one word to describe Zebop by the Sea.

Tucked away on the serene beach of Utorda, this gem can be easily missed if you don’t know where to look. It was recommended by the staff at The Regal Luxury Boutique Stays (and I must say - they have a knack for brilliant suggestions!).

We reached the beach around 11 p.m., delayed and disappointed to find most shacks already shut or shutting down - none willing to entertain a group of eight for a quick dinner. Thankfully, one of my friends spotted a dimly lit board at the start of the lane to the right. We followed a narrow path into a dark parking area, almost turning back - until we saw the soft glow of Zebop at the end.

At first glance, it felt peaceful and welcoming - the kind of place that instantly soothes you. The ambience was calm, the sea breeze gentle, and the vibe quietly magical.

The staff, though in the process of closing, still let us in and even went out of their way to set up a table off the sand, exactly as we requested. That level of hospitality — especially at the end of their night — deserves an extra ⭐ on its own.

We ordered the Calamari Rechead, and the aroma alone told us we were in for something special. The Rechead fish and prawn curry that followed were simply outstanding - perfectly spiced, full of flavour, and exactly what we were craving.

Through the meal, the staff remained attentive yet discreet - never rushing us, even though we were the last guests. Their warmth and quiet efficiency elevated the entire experience.

It was a short trip, so we couldn’t return - but the next visit to Goa will definitely include a night at Zebop.

Great location. Delicious food. Beautiful ambience. Wonderful staff. Without them, it wouldn’t have been half the experience.

Zeebop, located in Utorda, South Goa, is a beachfront restaurant with a lovely leafy setting. The restaurant boasts of serving freshly caught seafood prepared in classic Goan style. It is situated between two 5-star hotels, and is surrounded by coconut trees, which make for a lovely setting.

The cuisine menu at Zeebop includes Indian, Goan, Continental, Tandoor, and Seafood dishes. The restaurant can host small beach parties, private parties, and group events, with a maximum seating capacity of 360-380. The ambiance at Zeebop is super chill, and the view of the beach is spectacular.

The tandoori white pomfret, Goan fish, or prawn curry are the best we had at Zeebop. However, for the food my i give 6 out of 10, which is not very impressive, especially considering the price. The location and view are rated 9 out of 10. The portions are very small, and the prices are ridiculously overpriced, which is quite disappointing.

Another downside of Zeebop is that the staff, including the manager, is quite arrogant, which is not ideal for customer service. The service at the restaurant is also very slow, which is frustrating when you are paying a premium price for the food.

In summary, Zeebop is a lovely beachfront restaurant with a great ambiance and view. However, the food is overpriced, and the portions are very small. The service is slow, and the staff can be quite arrogant, which can be off-putting. Overall, while the location and view are fantastic, the poor quality of the food and service detract from the...

Zeebop is a very classsy restaurant on the beach. The place is surreal and neat. The food and cocktails are impressive. It's a great environment to unwind yourself.

Like all shacks, seafood is the main highlight at Zeebop. Stick to grilled tiger prawns, curries with rice, fish fillets and coastal food (they’ve got a small section of north Indian food too). Their cocktails and wine list is impressive, and their service doesn’t disappoint at all.
