The food menu didn’t disappoint either. We ordered 2 Nachos with Salsa (veg and chicken, INR 72), Chili Sausages (INR 72), and a Veg Sharing Platter (INR 72). Though they easily could have, the good people at Havana did not scrimp on the quantity or quality of anything they served us. The chicken was juicy, the Salsa fresh, and the platter overflowing.
The best part, you ask? The smoking room. Complete with vintage frames, tables and lamps, it had an end to end couch and a vibe of being in an old Bombay home. If you’re an old soul like me, it won’t be easy to leave.
After 8 PM, we were handed the modern-day menus and turns out, they have quite the extensive collection of alcohol! The menu was very Cuban and boasted of serving the original Cuban Mojito, which I was by now too tipsy to try. Did I mention we had two rounds of shots? Yes, The Rebel (INR 72!)
The only downside were the washrooms which were clinical, airplane style loos that brought me crashing back to reality. The magic started to dwindle after 11 PM when the performances ended and to my horror, commercial music started blasting through the speakers. Don’t worry, we left post haste after that; I cherished my evening at Havana too much to ruin it with today-ness.
Havana is everything you expect from a themed bar but never really get. Maybe because for them, this isn’t a theme. Do yourself a favour and make the trek to Colaba this Sunday to experience the whole thing.
