Summary
In April, we visited Zima in Mumbai for a special family celebration. My son chose this popular Middle Eastern spot to treat us for his birthday, and it lived up to its reputation! The meal was exquisite, with vibrant flavours, generous portions, and some of the finest Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes we’ve experienced in Mumbai, making it a close contender with Mommy Joon for our favourite. From the authentic mezze to indulgent desserts, everything was expertly crafted and memorable.
