Moka Bistro

Located in Banani 11, Moka Bistro is one of the hottest bistros in town. The open windows that surround the bistro allow the customers to have a green and leafy view and is quite soothing.  Previously known as Moka CafĂ© and Bistro, it was recently closed for renovations, but Moka Bistro is back in the game supported by a new chef!

Operating since April 2014, the bistro was initially serving only coffee. It has now moved on to fine dining and prides itself in providing fusion food to its customers. It primarily targets the young demographic and wants to provide a family-friendly environment.

The premises include a play zone for children, as well as a separate lounge that has a capacity of 12 people. It is also an appropriate place for corporate lunches and informal business meetings.

At a time Moka Bistro can accommodate up to 70 guests and is also available for booking of private parties. They also have collaboration with HungryNaki and Foodpanda so if you know what you want you can have the delicious food items delivered to your home.

Lunch is the busiest time of the day at Moka Bistro. Along with regulars to choose from, a set menu has also been introduced and is available for a rather reasonable price. Steaks are a must-have when you are visiting Moka bistro and the Chateaubriand Steak is their signature dish. Among the appetisers, the fried calamari and nachos are a favourite with regular customers and is something you should definitely try out, for your first time.

During the evening, Moka Bistro entertains groups of friends who pop in for coffee or even students who like to catch up with some work in the quiet environment of the bistro. This is also a perfect time of the day when you can sit back and relax with their cheesecake or mousse cake, both of which are their bestsellers.

One of the many things that sets Moka Bistro apart is "Ladies Night" which is carried out every Wednesday. This is to honour the women in our lives and acknowledge all that they do for us. The evening includes live music and the audience is often graced with the presence of a celebrity guest and an interactive discussion. During this time special offers like discounts, 'buy 1 get 1 free' or complimentary desserts are given to the guests every week. 

Moka Bistro celebrates all occasions so keep an eye out to catch their next offer. Check out their Facebook page to remain updated. Be sure to visit Moka Bistro and experience continental food and the ultimate European style bistro!
