Bay 15 Boasts a Live Sushi Counter and Mumbai Band Rhythm Revival

With a whopping 90-item spread of soups, starters, salads, anti-pasti, BBQ, roasts, breads, desserts and special dishes for kids, jüSTa Hotels’ Bay 15 is likely to be the biggest and best buffet spread one can experience in Goa this New Year’s Eve. Chef Raheman of Maldivian fame and his team have racked up a massive list of continental, north Indian, Goan and Asian favourites that would please just about anyone under the sun. There is even a live sushi counter, besides live grilling and meat carving stations! 

Besides the humongous feast of a buffet, the popular band from Mumbai Rhythm Revival will help you burn all the calories by keeping you on your feet, reviving the best tunes from then and now. The versatile band plays pop, rock, blues, reggae, Bollywood and much more. It was formed by Antonio Rodriguez back in the early 70s and has been doing the rounds ever since, along with Maureen Rodriguez, Ignatius Coelho and Jude on the vocals.

For those who haven’t discovered this amazing beach-front marvel, you can find it on Odxel Beach ahead of the Cidade de Goa and the International Centre in Dona Paula. It has sprawling lawns next to the waterfront and a big stage area with a delightful ambience by the sea and under swaying palm trees, where weddings are frequently held. There is a ground-level, open-plan outdoor restaurant and an indoor (with a massive open-air balcony) on the first floor. Fifteen wooden cabanas with cosy and comfortable fittings are also on the property.

 So whether you end up munching on a Chicken Lemongrass Skewer, King Fish Peri Peri, Honey Glazed Pork Belly, Paneer Khurchan, Serradura or Jalebi with Rabdi, don’t fret. You’ll probably come home light on your toes from all the dancing. To add to the excitement of bringing in the new year, the theme is neon, and there will be fireworks, fire dancers and a DJ spinning favourites all night long. So go ahead, bring in 2016 in style.
