  • 2/5 jyoti r. 2 years ago on Google
    Had read about this place as great in various reviews. But after visiting felt they were more of paid reviews. Ambience - 2.5 / 5.  Had gone on 25th December evening. Evening was pleasant, hence relieved. The place is not very well lit.  There was a marriage happening in adjacent premise making it very noisy and irritating. Amenities - 0/5. Found it very weird rather cheap when we were told that if we had to sit on the first sofa, would have to have a bill above Rs. 2500 or more(can't remember the exact amount ) but found the condition very weird for a 5 star internationally renowned brand. One could have still had a time cap. And if there was some scheme like this , why was this not informed to customer in advance. Attitude - 2/5.  Serving staff was very polite and good. However , we had booked the place thru dine out app and had a discount which was mentioned in the app. Despite showing it to the lady staff who served us and checking twice and showing her the app, she said there were no discounts since it was a no discount day .  When the other staff actually came to collect the payment and we showed the same to him, he went and gave us the discount that was due from the app. All this even though we had informed in advance that we had made the booking thru app.  Beautiful co-ordination indeed. Food - 1/5 we had a potato based chaat item which was just ok. The iced tea that we ordered was extremely sour and had great room for improvement . Overall rating - 2/5

    It's puzzling that they take bookings without checking upon entry, but the breathtaking sunset view made up for it. The pricing of the food is reasonable, and the service is top-notch. A thoughtful touch is providing food covers to ward off bird interruptions—adds a unique charm to the experience.

    Not worth the hype. It is overpriced and neither the food nor the drinks live up to expectations. They can't even prepare basic common cocktails properly. There was A RAT under our table! Absolutely unacceptable considering the property and prices, and we were told that it is out of their hands if a rat chooses to come there!! The location is its only pro. Nothing else.

    Just the sheer joy of magical painting like sunsets from the deck and some good food & drinks to go along with it. Can't ask for more! My comfort place. I'm here every other weekend just because of that.

    Very nice ambience. Sea facing restaurant. Food quality is very good. But only starters available. And minimum spend is Rs 1500/ person. That is cover charge. Otherwise very nice place.

    The place has an incredible view, also as we had done a prior reservation, the staff reserved a couch table right at the front. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Best place to celebrate with your loved ones over some drinks & finger licking food !!!

    Novotel Juhu has couple of restaurants. We selected Gadda da Vida. This restaurant has outdoor sitting with a sea view. Just before the sunset is the best time to reach here. Open air, sea winds, cozy couches, tasty food and sunset view makes this place a perfect dating venue.

    1 word - PATHETIC! So much was said about this place. So many good reviews about the ambience, but that's the sad part, it's only the ambience but the service ? HORRENDOUS! We booked the place for Valentine's day 10 days prior to the day and yet on reaching, they say they never take reservations? LIES! They took down our number and asked us to wait for half an hour promising to get us a seat, we never got a call. In the half an hour that we waited, 6 people came up and yelled at the pathetic, mannerless and lost managers! All the complaints were for the food - THE FOOD TOOK 2 HOURS TO BE SERVED! 2 HOURS? We eventually had enough when the customers themselves told us that "No point waiting, the place has gone to the dogs!" We left, and haven't got a callback yet.. 2 hours later ?

    The staff is extremely rude and unfriendly. They do not give two hoots about customer service. The place seems run down and not like a property which should be in a good hotel. This place only runs coz it has a view of the sea upfront. Food and drinks are underwhelming. You could definitely give this place a miss

    Great place for chilling out. It is beach front with a great view of the sea. It is poolside but you. Any use the pool unless you’re a guest here. The minimum spend for the front table with uninterrupted view of the sea is ₹1200 per person. Best visited during sunset or for sundowners which continue into a dinner.

    Excellent 5 star restaurant within Novotel hotel managed by Accor group. Sea facing lounge good for continental dishes and drinks . Comfortable seating for family and friends group. Breathe taking views . If you are dineout passport member do visit.

  • 2/5 Crest h. 2 years ago on Google
    And a bad experience. Went there to celebrate my birthday with my friends. Over priced menu. The drinks were double what you get at any other good place and the one we had was watered down. We are from out of station and were not aware of local rule of the place closing down at 10 pm. We entered at 9 pm and no one told us that no orders will be taken after 9.45. We should have been told at enterance , the host or our waiter. Same thing happened at the table behind us all. The food was not great either. The manager was called and did not come . The waiter had to bear the brunt of everyone. Some service is expected from a hotel calling itself five star.

  • 3/5 Anu K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place located in prime location of Juhu is famous for sea facing view of Juhu chaupatty while you enjoy your food with music. Ambience was good but was little hot in evening and the pedestal fans just failed to give us a breath of fresh air. Service is very very very slow and yes I mean it they literally took more than 40 minutes to bring the food including nachos. we ordered beverages, nachos and veg and non veg platter Novotel punch- nice White wine sangria- nice Nachos -nothing worth mentioning Non veg platter was average Veg platter was sad -4 harabhara kebab was very dry , panner pieces were okay, and then it had 4 baby potatoes and 2 fried cauliflower (pathetic), they should seriously consider adding some good options in their veg platter . We ordered desserts which didn't come like for again 20 minutes so had to call for the cheque. Overall it's a beautiful place with nice seating place and great sea view and nothing else.

    I recently visited Gadda Da Vida at Novotel Juhu Beach, Mumbai and it was an amazing experience! The restaurant has an unobstructed view of the Arabian Sea and is the perfect spot to enjoy the cool sea breeze on your face while watching the sun go down 🌅. The service was outstanding and the food was simply delicious 🍴. Gadda Da Vida is a perfect place for anyone who loves to relax and unwind in style while enjoying delicious cocktails 🍹 and tasty cuisine 🍔. The ambiance is refined and elegant, making it a great spot for a date 💁🏻‍♀️. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed 😍 with my experience at Gadda Da Vida. It's one of the very few resto-lounges in Mumbai that offers such a stunning view of the sunset 🌅. If you're looking for a spot to enjoy good food, great service, and a beautiful view, I highly recommend Gadda Da Vida.

    This is the absolute worst bar I have ever been to in my life. The staff is derogatory and abusive, the manager is the absolute worst. The staff changed our order and charged us for the most expensive brandy on the menu when we ordered a whiskey drink. Do not go here! It is a scam!

  • 2/5 Jayesh H. 3 months ago on Google New
    Worst Experience. Can't expect such big list of bad experiences in a single day at this venue being a 5 Star Hotel Restaurant. Lot and lot of mosquitoes, hope you don't get dengue. Very inexperienced staff at phone for booking, misguiding us and then saying he is new to job. Further they have inexperienced and slow and inactive staff at Gadda da Vida. You need to keep asking them for each things you need. No water was served till last even after repeat request. Even after payment he didn't gave us the bill print and we didn't had energy left to teach him that too. Food: Nachos were having good dips and can say average. Tandoori Veg Platter, paneer was good rest was ok ok. Ice tea also average. Total bill came approx Rs 6000/- with poor service and not so good experience. Will not recommend you to visit here.

    This place is amazing to spend your lovely evening, this place has a great beach view. The property is one of the best in mumbai. During weekends it's packed better to avoid waiting booked advance table. Food is great, service is also great. Soft music keeps playing. Smoking is allowed. Over all the place is great.

  • 5/5 Joy M. 4 years ago on Google
    Best place to spend evening. You can gaze to Sun when it sets enjoying your food. Best food, friendly staff.

  • 2/5 Mango M. 4 years ago on Google
    Big disappointment Me my wife and two friends wanted to enjoy a nice sundowner and we thought no better place than Gadda Da Vida .But I was really disappointed. The place as you enter (no one to welcome you at the respection)was empty but the outside selection with the sea view had few tables .On the table you will be welcomed by a board which say minimum billing 1200 per person (better idea to filter ur crowd is have a cover charge at your entry rather than these unwelcoming boards .The place is kept in a very shabby manner (major maintenance required).The rates on the menu are sky rocking which is expected being a 5 star hotel .But with bad food use of frozen food products .This is not expected from a property inside a 5 star hotel. To top it up mosquitoes all over the place making it impossible for us to eat food .And to make matter worse a bunch of kittens roaming around and attacking our food .When complained to manager about the kittens as my friend was scared of cats .He was to casual about the matter and when I told him I would review about you guys he told me please do may be management will then take action .really felt like i wasted my evening and money .

  • 5/5 Akshay J. 4 years ago on Google
    Year after year I keep coming back to this fantastic spot for an evening drink with friends. Absolutely phenomenal place for watching the sunset on the beach while sipping a G&T. Some tables do have a per person minimum and you're very likely to hit the mark with a couple of drinks. Service can be a bit slow at times but you wouldn't mind it given the chill vibes. If you're in Juhu and looking for a drink do not miss this place. You can get a nice table if you can get there earlier by 3/4 pm.

  • 3/5 Naveen S. 4 years ago on Google
    A lot of people go for enjoying drinks and food at sea-side, but honestly, its just an average place with okayish food and ofcourse high prices. Service is quite slow as they are probably under-staffed. Since there are only few sea-side restaurants, you are bound to pay higher In March, 2020 price of a non-premium beer pint was around INR 450 ($6.5) and that of a bloody marry wa INR 950($13.5) both excluding taxes. Overall, not sure if its a pull for multiple visits.

  • 3/5 Preetam P. 4 years ago on Google
    The setup is awesome with the sitting area right by the beach. I found service little slow in the beginning due to heavy order flow they said that i couldn't see. Mediterranean pizza was good but veg sikh kabab was dry and tasteless. Sunset time is the best time to visit. Thanks

    Chill place. Great drinks. Great view. Poor service levels. Very poor selection and quality of food. But still 4 stars for the seating by the beach. Just order drinks all at once. Don't bother ordering the food or having reason to try catching the attention of the server. You won't. Unless you start dancing on the table. Perhaps

  • 5/5 Parth R. 4 years ago on Google
    It sure is a bit heavy on the pocket but is also arguably one of the best places in Bombay to grab a drink. One can witness one of the best sunsets in town here as it's literally just a few metres away from the shore.

  • 1/5 Shreshth T. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely not recommended. Please avoid. The service and staff are nowhere near the standard of even a 3 star hotel leave aside a 5 star. The staff is clueless from the moment you walk in. Firstly, even if you make a reservation, it's of absolutely no use as they entertain anyone just walking in. Secondly, the service is among the worst, if not THE worst I have ever seen in a branded hotel. I had to wait for more than 45 mins just to REORDER my last ordered drink and ask for the menu. Even then the staff did not even offer basic apology or regret. Once the drink was served, it was incomplete. It was a gin based cocktail with NO GIN. Seriously doubt how they have been able to remain in business till now with such level of aptitude and service. If you want to have a really bad time and with extremely bad service, please visit zelse AVOID AT ALL COST!!!

  • 1/5 Suman V. 3 years ago on Google
    I recently took a friend to GDV who was in transit with full strength excitement, little did I know we'll be treated with such a poor quality of customer service by the staff in a venue of Novotel. Firstly, we paid a heavy duty cover charge during day time which is still acceptable. However, we ordered for overly priced started which had no covering & neither of us were warned about the regular bird attack in outdoor by the staff. Within 2 mins of starter being served 3 crows attacked our food we requested for the dish to be taken back and replaced 20 mins later the staff arrives to inform that the returned dish will be charged and so the replacing food will be chargeable as well. It's disappointing from a 4+ star hotel to not have courtesy towards their customers to apologise or even be kind being in an hospitality business. Never going to this place again. The staff definitely needs briefing on how humans or customers are supposed to be treated specially in a reputated hotel !!!!!

    I'm an unrivaled person when I have more on my plate. An easygoing sea side outside loosen up massively sought after for its superb point of view on the Arabian Sea, offers a comparably colossal and open to seating space inside too. The territory adds to the popularity of this spot and people come here to relax up and watch the nightfall. The meandering aimlessly bar is observed by bartenders gifted at mixing and serving blended beverages alluringly. They are happy to assist you with suggestions. The refreshments menu is thorough with the most flawlessly awesome spirits on offer. The help is energetic and compelling and the staff all around instructed. Beside the standard tidbit going with drinks, the food menu offers altogether filling finger sustenance for those hungry. Liberal portions promise you have enough. The serving staff surrenders a chime at each table for you to interface with them when you need, so don't stress over them not being close. Solicitation the remarkable alcohol headways as there is something on continually and the courses of action are pocket welcoming. The outside seating an area to watch the sundowner on a Sunday with a live band playing is an inside and out treat 'Calamari Rings', 'Sheep Kibbeh', 'Saunfiyani Paneer Tikka' and 'Korean Fried Chicken' are must-endeavor.For a gigantic social occasion, the kabab platter is a value for-money decision

    Please I request everyone, don't visit this place right now. It was really dirty, the place was stinking, the food preparation was very average. The wine rates were by the bottle, per glass wasn't mentioned. I was informed some other price and when the bill came it was completely different all together. I went there for my parents anniversary & had the worst experience ever. There were literally tissue papers & litter on the ground. Waiters took ages to come & take our orders. Do NOT GO. I REPEAT DO NOT GO.

  • 2/5 Saurabh M. 3 years ago on Google
    The food here is pathetic. The service is not so great. There is cover charge of 1200 INR per person. They overcharged me on my debit card which was very surprising. They don’t serve according to their menu. The nachos were suppose to have guacamole but there was no hint of guacamole. The nachos were basically cheese Doritos with salsa (which I thought was pre made at least a week old). The only good thing about this place is beach LOCATION. And that’s about it. Go to this place if you don’t care about the food and bad service. If you just want to have a few beers sure this place might turn out good for you.

  • 2/5 Abhishek P. 5 years ago on Google
    Pleasant place to start dinner with lovely sunset. U have outdoor as well as indoor seating. Ambience is good. Staff courtesy is good. Problem is taste of food. As u can see we tried lots of things but taste of every single dish was horrible. Pizza was ok. I will still recommend this place if u just want to spend quality time seating n watching sun set n cool breeze of sea. Outdoor seating is not recommended in summer.

    Great place. When I say great I just mean a great place to sit by the sea and drink. Cocktails ordinary, food is ok. It is extremely expensive because of the property and the ambience. But ok for once in a while!

    I used the service here to order a surprise cake for my friends visiting the place. I just reached out to them over email and they connected me with the F&B dept. Subhash was really helpful then onwards. He suggested the correct option, good pricing, the convenience of payment and the actually delivery and even sharing pictures later. Overall the service was awesome, timely, professional and everything nice And from what I know from my friends, they had a good time, good food and a great sunset view. :)

    It's one of the best places in Mumbai to watch a lazy sunset. Best time to visit would therefore be evening. The place although doesn't have the same vibes at night. The beach outside is forever crowded which is something you will have to overlook. The food is good but menu options are limited. More so if you are a vegetarian. There is a limited staff serving so expect considerable delay in your orders. The kitchen isnt attached to the restaurant and all food is fetched from the main Novotel kitchen which delays it even more. But then this a place to enjoy without anyone disturbing you, so you won't mind the delays all that much. Also there is a supposedly minimum order of Rs. 3000 per table. Its not a strict mandate and they won't overcharge you if you don't order enough.

  • 2/5 Saurabh M. 2 years ago on Google
    Extremely Disappointing! Over Priced and Tasteless food Wouldn't recommend this place We ordered: GDV Tacos - I would say no flavor at all GDV Nachos - Basic..This is probably a dish that one cannot mess with but the beans and dips aren't adding much to it Jalapeno Potato Poppers - Pretty Average Lal Mirch ka Paneer Tikka - After trying these 3 things at the start I still had some expectations from this one, I never had such worse panner tikka. Paneer was stale and not soft, neither it had a good taste Mocktails were both good, Novotel punch and Rosemary so was the Newyork Cheese Cake

    A beautiful property by Juhu beach. A perfect evening to spend with your loved ones alongside a gorgeous sunset. The view is to die for & so is the food. The staff is quite polite & the service is great. A mice breezy place to spend a pleasant evening. A little overpriced but the view takes it all away! A must visit.

    Gadda Da Vida is Novotel's sea view lounge. With its scenic beauty one would love to see sunset from here. Menu is limited and liquor is expensive.

    A great place with a stunning ambience right in front of Arabian Sea.

  • 4/5 yatin s. 1 year ago on Google
    I have visited this place many times in the past, Gadda Da Vida is located on the ground floor of Novotel Hotel in Juhu Beach area. The place offers indoor siting which is empty most of the time I have visited, the place is famous for outdoor siting as it is right on the beach. The outdoor siting is usually busy so reservation might be a good idea, now coming to my experience from the last time. We ordered a Budweiser Tower for three people which is not that great an idea as the beer gets warm really fast in Mumbai outdoor temperature. And for food we ordered some Prawns & Chicken Wrap, The prawns were a bit dry and the wrap was quite average. The cost for a 3 litter Budweiser & two starters was around 7K, which is slightly on the higher side. The ambiance is really good specially the as the outdoor sitting is sea facing and in quite nice in the evening. The music was old school and seemed a bit old for the place, overall it is a good place for chilling though I was a bit disappointed with the food. The service was great, but the place definitely needs an update as I have been to this place many times in the last decade, and now it seems a bit run down.

    Lovely place to spend some time by the beach. Good food, good music. Great view. Best time to visit would be during sunset. Spacious enough accommodate a large crowd.

  • 4/5 Rushabh M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good but not great. Got a minimum billing and the furniture is a little outdated. The impression I had of this place didn't live up to its expectations. Food wasn't bad. The view obviously is the best part about the place. Everything is overpriced tho. Jain options tho limited but were available. Overall experience was a little underwhelming and would only recommend if you don't get place in a similar kind of place.

    Very limited vegetarian options , and just 3 dishes to eat who are following Jain diet namely cheese chilly toast , pizza , paneer tikka , f from which cheese chilly toast was neither good nor worth it , they couldn't even manage to make a Jain Nachos , service is slow , place is great to spend some romantic time with your loved one

    The Best Sea Facing Cafe on the western Coast of Mumbai Suburbs, Mesmerizing view of the Sea, The Tap beer is Good but not cold enough to beat the heat of Bombay's hot & humid weather. Though you have some good options for bottled beers which are served chilled. Food options are adequate enough to visit this place any time. During monsoon prefer to visit on a rainy day, Since it becomes very hot under the enclosure due to lack of cross ventilation and absence of fans. But if the tides are high enough the wind changes the direction and you get the best experience!

  • 4/5 Indradeep R. 7 months ago on Google
    Known for a sundowner but I prefer around the afternoon when there is hardly any crowd and it almost allows the place all by myself. The drawback is however that the service is slow during this time. But who cares with the sea breeze keeping company. The view of the beach is excellent in front. The feeling is like sitting in a shack. The menu is limited although the chef helped me with an off menu dish. I like this place especially when I miss the sea
