Aesthetic vibes of old Goan Portuguese kind of restaurant. Very good vibe. A small place, but those who know, they know about the place. It's very famous place, and it's go-to place. Small place, cozy place with good art and small place, but it's very nice. Very nice. Huh?

The food is extremely good, loved the crab and prawns that we ordered. It had the perfect spice and local flavours as expected. Definitely a must visit 😁

The started fish - Chonak was really good. But everything else- Chicken, prawns, fish curry were not good. They were average. The drink - kokum mojito was really good.

i went to Kokni Kanteen yesterday after being recommended by friends and almost every food website curating restaurants in Goa. I realized after waiting 2 hours for a table that I was horribly wrong in following the trend and idolizing this place. Tl;dr - waiting experience bad, food bad/average, don't go. Wait time - I was given a single digit waiting number. Not bad, thought I'd get a table in 15-20 minutes. However, there was absolutely no space to stand indoors in the AC, and I was compelled to leave the premises and wait outside. After waiting in 40 C weather for 30 minutes, I went back inside to check the current waiting number; it had only moved by 1. I went back outside, came back in 20, and apparently they had already moved on to double digit waiting numbers. Debate on the wait time - When I conveyed to the wait staff what my waiting number was, they told me that it will take some time, despite the queue having moved by at least 10-12 tables. I asked to speak to the manager, who said they called for my number but no one appeared. I tried to reason with him that it doesn't make sense for my number to be skipped entirely after waiting for 2 hours, to which they shrugged their shoulders and asked me to wait even more. After creating a bigger fuss than was warranted, I was given a "shared" table, to be occupied by two other strangers. The table - The others I shared the table with were at waiting number 20, which felt like a light slap on the face. The food - I ordered the Goan chicken chilly, the chicken cafreal, the tonak, one portion of rice and the kokum urak cocktail. I wanted to order some poie but they were out of it, only had rice and chapati available, which is strange for a Goan restaurant. The tonak was bland, the chicken in the cafreal was stale. The chicken chilly was edible, and the drink was good. I'd also ordered the serradura but for some reason it was never brought to the table. It was an extremely forgettable food experience, that I would probably expect from a tier-3 lunch home in Maharashtra. Overall - Wrong choice to go there, never again will I visit an establishment that clearly is so full of itself.

Overrated Food, Appalling Service Kokni Kanteen's reputation is doing all the heavy lifting here, because the actual experience certainly isn't. Let's start with the food - overhyped, plain and simple. For a place that carries so much word-of-mouth praise, what lands on the table is a massive disappointment. Nothing justifies the hype. But the food is the least of the problems. The service was outright insulting. The staff, including the assistant manager Ashim, carried themselves with a level of arrogance that's genuinely hard to believe. They served food as though they were doing us a personal favour. There was zero warmth, zero professionalism, and zero basic courtesy - just cold, dismissive attitudes across the board. It was abundantly clear that the staff operate under the assumption that their reputation guarantees footfall regardless of how they treat paying customers. That kind of complacency is a slap in the face to anyone walking in with genuine expectations. For a place that calls itself prestigious and well-known, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Save your money, save your evening, and find somewhere that actually values its customers.

The restaurant is upto the level for the kind of hype created in the social media. I am goan and i know goan and konkani food but what these people serve is far away from the typical goan cuisine. disappoonted for food taste. Best part of this restaurant is its ambience and thats it. popolarity could have been another plus but seems to be inorganically hyped.

very poor quality and even poor attitude. served rubbery prawns and the kept arguing on the same, then when we ordered King fish because of the return they served us stale smelly fish which probably had decomposed. Please dont visit, not worth the price and definitely not worth the food prices.
