Champagne bubles at Mocha...

      Just like every other Saturday ,I was hanging out at my friend's place discussing the Goa trip plan.A new year in Goa , that's like a dream come true for a guy like me . It was 7 pm and our discussion had almost reached a conclusion as we could not find any hotel room vacant.Then I got an sms from a friend saying "Mocha,Juhu at 8" ,just another example of how lazy people are! So my destiny for the night was "sms"ed .
      I reached Zuhu at 8.15 parked outside Mocha and went to Zuhu beach to eat pav bhaji  :P . The pav bhaji was ok not that good, a 6/10 may be .Do not eat burger from any pav bhaji stall. Then we saw him making Tava Pulav which  looked nice so we ordered a Cheese Tava Pulav.It was served with a Raita , Papad and a salad and it tasted good .Food for a good value I'll say.Then came the Ice Gola . I saw some innovative ice golas there like Chocolate Chips Gola, Butter Scotch Gola etc.I ordered a Chocolate Malai  gola .It tasted awesome.Dipped in cream , chocolate syrup and decorated with chocolate chips and grated chocolate.A gola worth 45 Rs.
     Now lets talk about Mocha. The ambience of the place was like just any other Mocha.The place was crowded and the crowd was good so I didn't mind waiting for a table.We got a table in 5 mins, and for about half n hour we were just talking and nobody came to take the order , exactly what the tagline of Mocha says , "Coffee and Conversations".
A glimpse of Mocha
Then we ordered a Hookah , nothing ordinary ,a Champagne Sheesha(Hookah) with a strawberry flavor.I was the lucky one to try the first drag. It tasted exactly like a champagne. It tasted bitter ,which was a good sign as it showed that the champagne was dry.The only thing that i didn't like was the absence of strawberry flavor , none of us could taste it.They also serve beer and wine.
