Cafe Cuba is one of the shacks lining the beach in Fort Kochi. We ordered Karimeen Polichadhu, King Prawns fry and egg friend rice. The fish and prawns were good but the fried rice was a bit sweet. Slightly over priced for the quantity and quality of the food that they provide. As it's on the streets, its a bit hot and there are a lot of mosquitoes.

Time : 10pm (the only place in Fort Kochi that's open at this time)
Food : THE BEST Karimeen Polichathu (a Kerala specialty) EVERRRR
Service : Depends on the food. Prawn dishes take a bit of time. Our karimeen was served in 20mins. The servers were damn sweet.
Cons : No card accepted.
Ambience : Perfect shack scenario

Happen to visit here by chance along with my wife. We had pares fry,Tawa fried fish, matinee polichathu and fried rice. All items were good. My favorites were prawns fry and fried fish. Little expensive..prawns fry was charged Rs.500 which had hardly 6-7 prawns. Even though a road side eatery prices were similar to 3 star rates. They also do not accept credit cards. Ensure you have enough cash if you are visiting here
Don't walk past this hidden gem! The service is always with a smile and the food is the absolute best value for money in Kochi. With reasonably priced dishes and delicious & flavourful food we had to go back every day. Our favourites were: Veg curry, shahi paneer, aloo masala. Enjoy!!
You buy fresh & they cook it for you is the concept. Buy fresh fish from beach side vendors (they will assist you), cleaned , marinated and cooked at cafe cuba. A simple good concept well served. Go there for the vibe of eating out in open space, fresh food readily prepared. The marination isnt for long and cooking process is fast so expect a bit different taste from typical kerala taste.
The best fish briyani ,fish barbecue and my favourite fish curry which they cooked with their heart ♥ the spice ,mixture,ambience all in all its must visit place
Part of Eat Kochi, just give them the fish that you buy and they make the most tastiest dishes out of it. The only irritant is the flies otherwise it is quite clean, tidy and airy. Must visit place for those who love fish.
Bought the fish off the boat folk on the boardwalk took it to cafe cuba. It was cooked for 200 rupees. per item additional great Italian salad and French fries. Clean, professional, good staff good atmosphere. Would highly recommend.
Great place, great location, great setting, great food.
I enjoyed it a lot.
I'm new to the city. I'm had calamari post 4 years. Last I had was from NYC.
I had porotta along with. Both were good.
They had a wide menu. I wished I could try grilled fish too but couldn't. Next time.
Was little pricey but the interior and upscale feel you get nullifies it.
Crowd and ambience is another plus.
I forgot to say. Totally friendly staff. Happy Kochi is so racism free city. Let me tell, I shared my table with Europeans where they asked me permission to share the space.
Cafe Cuba is one of the restraunt in outdoor food court near the Fort Kochi Tourist Police Station. Pros of this cafe is, they have a good outdoor seating and a pretty good reasonable price in Fort Kochi. But the cons are the lack of good chefs. So please try to order so basic snacks and juices. Meals and dinner may spoil your mood. And the long waiting services even for a tea ay spoil the mood. But highly recommend for budget backpacking.
The place is closed to Kochi Fort (walkable distance) parking facility available for 2 wheeler and 4 wheeler. Open capes which will give you a very natural vibe. We order 3 dishes out of which the Kerala Gravy and rice and Coconut Cake is worth of trying . Staff was very humble. Price is very budget friendly especially for sea foods. Over all very good experience.
If you want to try local cuisine, this is the best place for it. Great food and service. Fresh fish.
It was of great taste with chosen fish. Cooking is great. Exciting atmosphere.
Best fish masala fry ever had
