This place had a myriad options in fusion cocktails. I ordered one with white rum, chillies and curry leaves and it was surprisingly great!
I had gone for dinner with 2 other friends.
We ordered their fish masala, which came wrapped and steamed in banana leaves and their mushroom ghee roast to begin with.
For the 10 minutes that we were relishing the starters, the three of us forgot to talk to each other. We were so deeply engrossed in the scrumptious food.
For main course, we ordered a simple prawn curry with some neer dosas. The main course was didn't leave us disappointed, but was no mark compared to the starters!
Do give this place a try if not for the amazing food then definitely the unique ambience!
This is a place with simple, yet nice ambience on the roof top. The food here is too good with just the kind of starters you would like to have with drinks. Both the veg and non veg starter were too good. The gravy and chutney given with the starters was just awesome. Even the main course was really good n tasty. The service was excellent and they were very courteous. Rating it 4 since 1-2 items could improve
Great food and equally great service!
Visit this place they serve you the authentic dish in a beautiful and traditional roof top ambience.
Cozy places make the food taste much better, doesn’t it?
They also have curated cocktails on menu and are worth trying!
Taste -4/5
Ambience-5/5
Pocket pinch- 1800 / for two including 2 cocktails.
Oh, And for desserts I ordered Payasam which was good! But a little too sweet!
I actually wanted to have co.ba.ja Matka Jackfruit ice cream but sadly they were not available.
In Frame, Fish Tawa Fry , Prawns Ghee Roast served on Beetle Leaf, Melon Basil Twist!
Also, ordered Whiskey sour not in frame though!!🥃 😝
Good authentic food! Must try in the heart of the city
Amazing and courteous staff. Loved the ambience so much. And the foood has great taste. I wish there was zomato gold 1+1 offer on food rather than drinksss, cause this place is more about it's food. Loved their touch to ethnicity and culture
Visited with my friends beautiful ambience..Prawns ghee must try..The staff were friendly, courteous, and accommodating . There was no noise or problems at all..
Visited this place with friends and it was really good and had an awesome time. It has great ambiance and we just loved the food, definitely going to come back soon.
This is a lovely place to spend with family and friends, the food is excellent and so is the service. The illustrations by Sagar right from the stairs through the entrance, quirky Kannada words(which my husband learnt successfully and proved by calling me 'Chintamani'😎!), quotes by Kannada authors, the Mysore petas and haale topis and an extensively designed menu. A lot of research and hard work has gone into the making of this place stick to it's theme. A nice place to introduce someone to Karnataka cuisines. Thank you for making our family outing memorable.
This is a must visit if you are in Bangalore. Truly authentic Kannadiga cuisine, with a well stocked bar and excellent service.
Co.ba.ja is spread across two floors...an open air seating on the second floor that is open in the evening and a first floor enclosed space with an ambience that is truly unique and refreshing...you gotta see it for yourself. They plan to open up both spaces for lunch and dinner soon. I loved the food and the cocktails. Their 'quarter bottle cocktails' are truly value for money and hit the right spot. I have been eating out for decades and have yet to come across a restaurant that serves truly delicious authentic local food with world class cocktails that have been tweaked to perfection. Well done co.ba.ja I will surely visit again! Cheers.
It's a relatively new place and is actually quite good. The rooftop is best spot with a nice gentle breeze smearing your face. This place has 2+2 on drinks on Zomato gold. Food is pretty average, drinks are good. Would recommend this place if you are in MG road.

Co.ba.ja- a restaurant which serves delightful Karnataka cuisine in Brigade Road, certainly took my tastebuds on a flavourful journey during my visit!
The restaurant is situated in 1st and 2nd floor of the building. The 2nd floor is an open air seating whereas the 1st floor has indoor seating arrangement with chairs and cushions. Both the floors are quite different from each other. Each of them have a unique ambience.
Secondly, the food that we tried was very tasty. We could literally fill a whole array of flavours in every dish that we had ordered. As we went during the Savji & Malnad Food festival, we mostly tried the dishes from the specially curated menu. Not only the food was amazing, but also the cocktails were mind blowing.
The dishes and drinks that I personally loved and I would definitely like others to try are as follows:
Beverages:
Litchi Curry Martini
Paan Mojito
Saffron Punch
Starters:
Prawns Ghee Roast
Mutton Pepper Fry
Chicken Ghee Roast
Fish Tawa Fry
Main Course:
Hubli Chicken Palav
Mutton Roso
Lastly, the service was great. Don't have any complaints at all. Very humble waiters who know how to ace their job!
People who want a taste of Karnataka cuisine along with some amazing fusion cocktails should SURELY TRY this place!

As we know, Coconut, banana, and jackfruits are those fruits which a south Indian palate cannot resist, so why not give them a tribute and make an eatery with their name? Hopefully, this is the thought which drives its owner to name this restaurant.
So, a new place in brigade road, just opposite to brigade tower, serving delicacies from all the parts of Karnataka. This place is layered in two halves. One is rooftop and the other one is indoor. Both of them are awesome. The rooftop is a special attraction, it's calm and quiet, the serene ambiance will attract you in the first place. Indoor seating place is brilliantly decorated with some amazing wall décor with perfect complimentary colored walls. Do try indoor seating if you visit this place in the evening.
Coming to food, this place serves some amazing vegetarian and non-vegetarian starters and thalis and of course don’t forget to try out their brand new incorporation “ quarter bottle cocktails” these cute offerings will certainly make your day. My personal favorite was Pan mojito and spiced guava martini. Do try them out.
We went for a team lunch and had
For starters:
Soya Kayi Muchi, Mix Veg Sukka, Bangda Masala Fry, Squid Sukka, Prawn and Chicken Ghee Roast, Chicken Uruval, Mutton Liver Fry. All of them were awesome. For vegetarian people never miss out their soya kayi muchi. Such a brilliant veg starter to open your culinary journey.
Ghee roasts are my favorite and they didn’t disappoint me. Ghee roast has the perfect balance of spice and texture to it. Mutton liver is another one which we loved it. Do try that out too.
On weekdays they have corporate set lunch thalis - Veg, Fish, Chicken, and Mutton. The thalis are extremely reasonably priced. I loved the Fish Thali. Best part, they are amazingly pocket-friendly. We also tried their Hubli chicken pulav it was pretty decent I would say.
Now for the final part was dessert, I was a bit disappointed with their dessert section and feel this part of the food didn’t match with the other courses. Desserts need improvement. We had Ragi Manni and the Payasam the most. Pheni with badam milk and Holige. Payasam and Holiges are somewhat palatable.

Authentic Kannadiga cuisine!
My brother and friends came down from the US and wanted to taste various dishes from Karnataka. We tried a few restaurants but none of them had more than one regional cuisine. At last we found this new place called Co.ba.ja. They have curated the menu to include dishes from most cities and regions of Karnataka.
They have some nice cocktails which are served in a quarter bottle (very authentic) each labled with the cocktail name. I loved the Spiced Guava Martini and the Rum and Masala coke. We tried the Prawn Ghee roast and Mutton liver Fry. It felt like we were on a road trip eating at a wayside bar. Delicious spread of spices. The ghee roast taste was unlike any I had tasted in BLR. We tried the Udupi Masala papad. The dry prawn chutney was very interesting. We tried a tawa fry See fish which was cooked well.
We tried the delicate Neer dosa with Bhoti masala. The Neer dosa would simply melt in your mouth. Tried the coconut rice and a ragi mudde with mutton ball curry. I wasn't impressed with the mudde. But the coconut rice was above par. Went well with the curry.
With desserts I learned the correct way to eat them. We had the holige (obbattu) and chiroti served with ghee and coconut milk. It was a fitting end to a sumptuous meal.
The service was decent. It was good initially. But it got a bit slack once the place got packed. We brought it up to the manager and we were attended to immediately.
Felt the Alcohol options were limited and nothing new as compared to other restaurants. But the quality of the cocktails served were top notch.
The decor is quite beautiful. Potrays the different faces of Karnataka. It is well designed.
Overall I would go back for the food. It is delicious. The menu is quite extensive. And the taste authentic!

The ambience consists of indoor and outdoor seating both of them have their own charm , the rooftop is set up like a traditional verandah and naturally has a canopy of trees covering this area.

3) veg thali
Also their hubli style chicken pulao is worth a mention.
They make some amazing and authentic desserts
My favourites were the
