Food is not for having, it is to experience. This stands true when you are trying different dishes in Oozo. All credit goes to the great Chef Saif who is remarkable mixologist and brain behind this amazing new place Oozo Bar and Diner. Located in between Sakinaka and Chandivali circle. Within 5mins walkable distance from Sakinaka metro station.
If you want to forget all your stress and enjoy the night life then this is the perfect and recommended place.
This place is very well planned and designed, front entrance is like you are entering a cylinder with door and if you are entering from back side where you have ample parking space, entrance looks like your entering jail. On the first floor you have two sections, where you can sit and dine. Second section you have lounge where you have dance floor. 2nd floor is a rooftop, where you have 2 sections in one section they serve only hookah and Food and on second section alcohol, food and Hookah is served.
