We visited the place on Sunday afternoon. It was full of patrons, happy faces all around, clicking pictures to create memories.

We were greeted by Mr. Voeller and served by Mr. Jeetendra. Both were friendly and courteous. Throughout our stay, Mr. Voeller was professional enough to check out our comfort level with quality of food and services.☝️

We tried: ♦️Strawberry & Lichi Smoothie Island Calling: Mocktail and smoothie were refreshing. Both were blended perfectly and great thirst quenchers. ♦️Tandoori Prawns Kalimarchi: Fresh jumbo juicy prawns were perfectly cooked and served with mayo, salad and green chutney. ♦️Kasundi Mustard Fish Tikka : Boneless fresh fish chunks were marinated in kasundi spices and cooked in mustard oil. It was spicy and savory. ♦️Lobster Thermidor: A signature dish. Giant sized lobster was oven roasted and cracked open. It’s meat was buttered with French beans, mushrooms, gruyere cheese and served on a bed of mashed potatoes. It was rich in taste and satisfying. A must try dish for all fish lovers. ♦️Murg Malipurm : Boneless chicken chunks were cooked in fresh coconut, chilies and coriander. The gravy was thick and creamy. ♦️Death by Chocolate: Belgium chocolate mousse was served in pebble shape. It was delicious and you can not settle with one scoop. ♦️Coconut & passion entrement: The dessert was looking like a coconut. It was a mousse with brown chocolate from outside and white from inside topped with passion fruit syrup. Both the desserts were uniquely designed and decorated. We were reluctant to touch them first but then both vanished soon from our plates.

Here are 10 reasons why you SHOULD NOT visit this place (Request you to read point 10 first. That way, you can chose not going to this place by skipping the first 9 points) : They kept us waiting for 20 minutes despite having a reservation. The server ROYALLY ignored us despite us calling him multiple times and one of the staff members even pointed it out to him that we were trying to get his attention. The least he could have done was told us that he would be back with us soon. But he chose to turn a blind eye. The onion rings were extremely salty. The drink which my husband had called island delight was 'average at best' in his words. While we were seated and waiting for our order, we saw two different groups of people leave because they did not get any seating because of wrong waiting time estimates informed by the hostess. And just after that happened, a large group of friends who really wanted to have a good time at the restaurant had to fight with the hostess and leave because they did not get a table despite reservation. Their ravioli was chewy (probably frozen). We could taste neither orange nor paprika flavours. While the restaurant was almost fully occupied by customers, they randomly switched off the lights even before it was 10 PM. We overheard the lady seated on our neighbouring table request the server to pack the leftovers and he asked her if she was carrying a tiffin of her own to which she very calmly replied that she doesn't carry her own tiffin when she goes to a restaurant. Respect to you ma'am! Our server randomly walked to our table and asked if we wanted to have a tiramisu now (while we were having the mains) or later. P. S. We had not ordered the tiramisu. COCKROACH! While we were waiting for the cheque, we noticed a COCKROACH, casually crawling on the glass. (Doubt me? Check out the images I have uploaded.) I had read a lot of poor hygiene related (recent) reviews about this restaurant before going there but COCKROACH in a restaurant is outright HEALTH HAZARD! Koa cafe? It is more like NO-a cafe! I genuinely DO NOT believe any of the 4 or 5 star reviews that have been...
