Introducing Morjim Culture: Goa’s New Coastal Escape That Transforms with the Tides

From artisanal café to sultry sundowner to after-dark speakeasy – Morjim Culture is now open and vibing

MORJIM, GOA: There’s a new pulse on the Goan coast, and it’s called Morjim Culture. Located right on the beach with uninterrupted views of the sea, this all-day destination blends the comfort of a soulful café with the electric energy of a sundowner and the hidden allure of a speakeasy. This marks the 34th outlet from hospitality entrepreneur Gaurav Narang, the mind behind Coffee Culture, and it’s already setting the tone for how locals and travellers alike experience life by the sea.

Morjim Culture is where shoreline stories meet stellar nights, where you kick off your morning with a slow brew, transition into sunset cocktails with the sand between your toes, and dive into a night of unforgettable music and drinks behind unassuming doors. This is for the early risers, the dreamers, the locals, the seekers, and anyone craving something a little more real and raw.

By Day: Your Artisanal Café Sanctuary

Imagine sunlight spilling over open books, the aroma of fresh espresso in the air, and time slowing down just enough to breathe. By day, Morjim Culture is an artisanal café with a menu that’s equal parts nourishing and indulgent. Think slow-brewed coffees made with precision; from the 24-hour Cold Drip and PourOver to iced signatures like Mont Blanc (with mascarpone foam and orange zest) and The Oat Life, a jaggery-oat milk espresso on the rocks. We also feature a unique Dirty Matcha in our slow bar cold coffee selection.

Start your day with a Post-Surf Breakfast featuring our Dragonfruit Smoothie Bowl, then move on to flavor-packed plates like the Tofu & Chimichurri Bowl and Overnight Oats. Our coffee offerings are designed to delight every palate, from classic Lattes and Cappuccinos to standout picks like the Toffee and Nut Brittle, made with housemade dark toffee syrup, mascarpone foam and nut brittle. Our House Cold Brew, blended with single-origin Ghana cacao, is already becoming a go-to. Guests can also enjoy a range of revitalizing smoothies and soulful bowls, perfect for a post-surf or post-yoga recharge.

As Dusk Falls: The Sundowner Escape

When the sky begins to blush and the ocean hums along to the playlist, Morjim Culture shifts into sundowner mode. Set right by the beach, this golden-hour space is perfect for barefoot laughter, shared plates, and laid-back beats.

From our sundowner menu, savour dishes like the Vietnamese Beach Bowl and Smoky Lamb Urfa or Smoky Chicken Urfa from our Turkish grill. Seafood lovers can opt for the Shore Seafood Herb Salad with prawns and squid, or Golden Kataifi Prawns with delicate crunch and spice. Sushi fans will love the Black Forest Prawn Roll and Tempura Sushi, while vegetarians can enjoy the Jackfruit Adana Kebab.

Comfort-forward bowls like the Sunkissed Butter Garlic Rice and Shrimp Island Tortellini (served with lemon butter sauce) round off the experience. For dessert, try the Apollo, a rich mix of coffee, Baileys, pistachio cream, and finger biscuit, or our creamy Marble Cheesecake.

While the highlights from the cocktail menu include a curated selection of drinks designed to complement the vibe—light, refreshing, and full of character. Signature creations like the Irish Maid (Irish whiskey, cucumber cordial, elderflower), Hey Honey (gin, grapefruit juice, honey syrup, rosemary cordial), and Blueberry Julip are perfect for laid-back sunset sessions. For something a little more adventurous, the Mexican Murder brings a bold mix of tequila, Aperol, jalapeño and red wine, while the Pepino Picante offers a crisp, herbaceous twist with cucumber and coriander. Rounding off the list are the Matchatini, a unique blend of vodka, yuzu and matcha syrup, and the Malibu Coconut Cosmo, a tropical crowd-placer made with Malibu, cranberry and coconut cream.

By Night: Unculture – The Speakeasy Bar

Tucked behind unassuming doors lies Unculture, Morjim Culture’s speakeasy bar—a world where the music pulses louder than your thoughts, and the night unfolds without a script. Choose your mood from our playful board and let our bartenders create something unexpected. This is where judgment fades, and expression takes center stage.

Unculture boasts a selection of cocktails as bold and original as the space itself. Standouts include the Spro’groni, a coffee-spiked twist on the Negroni; and the Frisky Raw Mango Picante, a fiery blend of tequila, raw mango, and jalapeño.

More Than Just Food & Drinks: The Morjim Culture Ritual

Morjim Culture is built around the rhythm of the place. Sunrise yoga on the sand, soulful meals shared over stories, afternoon espresso under palm shadows—it’s designed for both the settlers who’ve made Morjim their home and the wanderers drawn to its pull. It’s not for tourists; it’s for travellers. For those who come not just to visit, but to feel.

The interiors are as thoughtful as the menu—earthy textures, bold minimalism, and open-air design that flows seamlessly from indoors to out. Each corner invites you to linger a little longer, be it over your morning brew, a long brunch, or a late-night dance with strangers-turned-soulmates.

Join the Tribe

Morjim Culture is more than just a place, it’s a feeling. It’s an invitation to come as you are - brilliant, bored, broken, buzzing, and leave a little more connected. A little more alive.

Welcome to Morjim Culture, Free Spirit.

wagamama makes its grand debut in india with a vibrant outlet at mumbai’s churchgate

bringing soul-nourishing pan-asian flavours to the iconic cambata building 

wagamama, the globally loved modern asian dining concept known for its ramen-bar roots and vibrant communal seating, has officially landed in india. its first outpost opens in the heart of south mumbai at the historic cambata building, home to the iconic eros in churchgate and serves bold flavours and nourishment that hits the soul with a bang. 

born in 1992 in london, wagamama flipped the script on modern asian dining, offering fresh, honest food served fast, with no course rules. inspired by the buzzing ramen bars of japan and the bold, nourishing flavours of asia, the brand quickly became a cultural icon across europe and the middle east. rooted in kaizen, the japanese philosophy of continuous improvement; it’s what channels everything wagamama does - from how it cooks and serves, to how it shows up for every guest. 

“we don’t just serve food - we serve energy,” says senior vice president of franchise and partnerships, francisco neves. “wagamama is an eating house for the soul. we’re playful, we’re soulful, and we believe good food has the power to uplift. india appreciates flavour, freshness, and fun, and mumbai was the perfect place to start this journey.” 

the location couldn’t be more iconic. set within the beautifully restored cambata building, wagamama is situated between marine drive, nariman point, and fort. it’s a spot where the city’s old charm meets its modern-day rush. 

we threw convention in the bin when we introduced communal dining, and that same bold spirit shapes every wagamama space. minimal yet warm, our interiors blend bricks + concrete textures and wood, neutral tones and asian cues, inspired by japan’s timeless design and growing global influence. bench-style tables reflect our belief in egalitarian dining, while flexible seating welcomes all party sizes. open kitchens put freshness and transparency on show, nothing reheated, no short-cuts, just dishes fired up and served the moment they’re ready. every layout is built for flow, with clear sightlines that connect guests to the kitchen and each other. it’s fresh, full of soul, and just the kind of place you’d want to hang out in. 

the menu is a greatest-hits playlist of wagamama’s internationally loved dishes. it features katsu curry, yasai yaki soba, donburi bowls, bang bang cauliflower, bang bang prawns, ramens like chicken tantanmen, and kare burosu. there are gyozas and baos in vegetables, chicken, prawn, and lamb. for the ones who are big on dessert: golden banana katsu. over 50% of the menu is vegetarian or vegan. every bowl is made fresh, packed with taste, and served straight from the heart. 

to sip, guests can choose from fresh-pressed juices, asian-inspired cocktails, fruit-forward mocktails, wines, and spirits, each created to complement the depth and complexity of the menu’s flavours.

the menu stays true to wagamama’s global roots—clean, comforting, and unmistakably signature. soon, local inflections, seasonal specials, and spice-forward innovations will join the mix, designed to delight indian palates while staying in sync with wagamama’s ever-curious, ever-evolving spirit. 

wagamama’s india journey is powered by k hospitality corp, one of india’s largest privately held companies in the f&b space. known for bringing world-class concepts to life, k-hospitality brings the experience, insight, and operational strength to grow wagamama’s presence thoughtfully and sustainably. 

next on the culinary map: delhi ncr. after a warm welcome in mumbai, wagamama is headed north, bringing its bold bowls and nourishing broths to a new audience. with more cities in sight, each opening will be thoughtful and true to the brand’s spirit - never rushed, always rooted in quality, experience, and the unmistakable wagamama way. 

wagamama india brings with it the brand’s global sustainability ethos—rooted not in gestures, but in grounded action. the menu champions a plant-forward approach, packaging is consciously sourced and recyclable, and operations are guided by a long-term commitment to reducing food waste and lowering emissions. this isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about building a future-forward dining experience that nourishes people and the planet alike. 

so whether you’re here for a quick solo slurp, a group food + drinks night, or a long lunch with conversation, wagamama invites you to pull up a bench, share a bowl, and eat with intention. mumbai, your table’s ready.
