Bar Goa Toronto - Guided by Michelin 2024

Easily the most flavorful and consistently fresh Indian food I’ve had in Canada. The vibes are always great, and the staff is super kind. Especially the manager who’s not only insanely attentive but also happens to be insanely pretty. Love this place to bit. You might skip it once, but you’ll never stop at just one visit.

Highly recommend for great overall experience in Indian cuisine. Appetizers (pani puri, crab rasam, berry chaat, chicken kulcha taco) were all excellent. Well thought out, very innovative and unique! Quality of ingredients were excellent and fresh. We had cocktails and mango lassi(with cardamom) , all were good. Main course - malai makhan chicken was delicious, great for kids as it’s milder. Prawn curry was awesome. Naans were cooked perfectly! We had 2 desserts- cheesecake was awesome and….another cake Drinks were very good too (one was guava flavour, another berry flavour and a blue drink forgot names, mango lassi was unique with cardamom flavour

Was excited to try this place. Love Indian food. Went with friends. We opted for the non-vegetarian tasting menu with beverage pairing. The food was excellent. Each course, with one exception, was as tasty, innovative and well prepared. The disappointing course was the curry of the day which was butter chicken with dal and nan bread. It was just an average curry. I mean it was good but not up to the level of the other courses. The staff were friendly and prompt but the service was not what we expected from a Michelin listed restaurant. The pacing was off between courses, the clearing of the table between courses was basic/haphazard and overall just not what we expected. The atmosphere is ok. Not particularly Indian or anything, floor fans beside table and the octagon tables were annoying. Overall great food but things to improve.

Bar Goa delivers an extraordinary fine dining experience, where Indian tradition meets modern culinary artistry. Each dish on the tasting menu is a masterclass in balance bold spices, delicate textures, and stunning presentation. Highlights include a the berry chaat & malai paneer tikka melt-in-your-mouth with cloud effect on dry ice! The amuse-bouche alone, a mint infused pani puri, sets the tone for a journey of innovation and flavor. Service is polished and personal, with insightful staff who elevate the experience. We were served by Rosy, she was amazing Thoughtful wine pairings, a refined ambiance, and unwavering attention to detail make this a must-visit for anyone seeking Indian cuisine at its absolute peak.

I had the pleasure of dining at Bar Goa in Toronto, and it was an exceptional experience. The food was absolutely amazing — each dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. What truly stood out was the outstanding service. The staff took the time to explain every dish in detail, which added a thoughtful and personalized touch to the dining experience. The drinks were equally impressive, well-crafted, and perfectly paired with the food. Bar Goa definitely lives up to its Michelin-star reputation, and I can’t wait to return for another memorable meal. Highly recommend!

I was excited to dine here, especially knowing it was part of the Michelin Guide. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. The restaurant seemed overly focused on forcing fusion elements into Indian cuisine, to the point where it barely resembled authentic Indian food. We started with a couple of appetizers, but neither was enjoyable enough to finish. I brushed it off as a matter of personal taste. However, the disappointment continued with the main course, which not only took a long time to arrive but was also quite underwhelming. The only highlight of the meal was the dessert, but given the steep price, it simply didn’t justify the overall experience. On a positive note, the ambiance and decor were pleasant. However, the lack of an in-house washroom was inconvenient. Guests had to use a shared building restroom, and one was out of order when I visited. If you’ve never had authentic Indian food, you might find it interesting. But for those familiar with traditional flavors, this place might not hit the mark.

SCAM alert!!! They charged for an item that we didn’t order. The manager kept us engaged in conversation while we paid for it and did not get a chance to go through it. And why would we, when we ordered a fixed 3 course meal which was supposed to be of a certain fixed amount. Beware of such tricks as initially they comped a starter for us in place of a terrible appetizer. This seems like a ruse to get part of comped starter from us. The hostess at the front of the house was cold and unwelcoming and the manager though friendly seemed condescending. Terrible service for a hyped up place. Food was either bland or one of the spices overpowered the dish. Not worth the inflated price.
