Ooze your energy and enthusiasm out after a hectic and stressful day. As it’s totally the need of the hour, given the lifestyle we are heading towards. Ooze out from the boring/hectic shell at Oozo, the new lounge, which has everything under its roof, from casual dining, to bar, to the rooftop. It has something for everyone. Club in Andheri called Oozo is located in Andheri East at just 5 mins walking distance from the Saki Naka Metro station.

The Chef and Consultant K.M. Saif, the mind behind so many of my favourites like Fusion Kitchen, The Little Door, Flip Bar-n-Kitchen, Asanjo- Pune and many more, have made this place flawless in every sense. Don’t believe me, experience it yourself 🙂

This Club in Andheri stands outright from the moment you see the gate, the entry is quite quirky, making you feel like you’re entering a cylinder.

This club in Andheri has vibrant red hues used across, on stepping a level up, you have two sections; one is the lounge, which has a huge bar, spacious room, with dim light, dance floor, perfect for any party.

On the other end, you have the casual dining, with quirky décor, white and red seating, simply awesome.

On a level up you have a rooftop, which is now cover during monsoon, its spacious 3 room, perfect to have your Sheesha or drinks while enjoying the rains.

Now starting with the amazing drinks that we tried; Ying Yang Martini:

The perfect combination of chocolate and cream, to give you the real Ying Yang flavour, taste and feel. It is a blend of Chocolate, Whip Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream, Coconut Milk. Top with a chocolate sprinkle and two MnM on either of the sides to make the perfect Ying Yang.

Ethiopian Spiced Tea:

The only warm mocktail you can ever try, if you love tea you can definitely not forget this. It’s served hot with a generous amount of Cinnamon, Cardamom, Clove, Honey, with a hint of Black salt and lemon juice; with each sip, you encounter a blast of taste.

Pineapple Mojito: 

It’s a refreshing drink with muddle lime, mint, fresh pineapple. Top with crush ice and pineapple juice ( with a touch of non-alcoholic blue). With each sip, you get the perfect pineapple taste. As there are pineapple chunks in it, healthy and refreshing.

Krazy Currant:

Some currents do make your life better; this is one such which has crushed black currant, grape juice, black salt for that perfect sour tinge, white pepper and lemon juice. It’s a treat to the eye and stomach.

Sauteed Shrimp Ceviche:  

Saif has got the famous Latin American Salad to India, where you have the sauteed shrimp, with tomato, jalapeno, and mix of sauces served in a spice rimmed martini glass with romaine lettuce and tortillas. The first salad I ever tasted in a Martini glass and it was great. Highly recommended.

Flaming Lamborghini:

Watch the video to know everything about this totally killer cocktail. It has Kahlua, Sambuca, Blue Curacao, Baileys, great cocktail to try when in a group.

I know this is going to be quite long, then my normal posts, hope you’ll read through the end 😉

Now coming to the appetizers; we had Mini bun-less Chicken Cheese Burger:

This is my personal favourite. The base is of mini grill Chicken patties. Further, they are finely chopping the onion, garlic, green onion, coriander, Indian spice and parsley. Which is then cover with iceberg lettuce and top with a cheese slice & cherry tomato as the final topping? This is served with thousand island sauce. This is a healthy take to the mini sliders, without the presence of any type of bread. Different but tasty, must-have for sure.

Royal Saffron Nachos (Veg):

These Saffron infuse nacho chips are top with Saffron Cheese Sauce. Further, garnish with black olives. A perfect starter which is served with tomato salsa. The taste is different which you only experience at any of Saif’s restaurants.

Papas Ala Saif:

This is the trademark dish prepare and name after Saif. The perfectly fried potato discs form the base and is cover with spicy yellow pepper cheese sauce. Top with half boiled egg on which black olive is the garnish. There is also the vegetarian version of it which is served without eggs. Try this Saif speciality for its uniqueness and taste.

Korean Cheese Nachos (Veg):

The Spinach flavoured nachos chips form the base of this beautiful looking dish, topped with Gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste) spiced cheese sauce, chopped bell peppers, black olives, mozzarella, cheddar & Parmesan cheese, served with tomato salsa. It’s a heaven for vegetarians.

Bang Bang Chicken:

The mini boneless chicken chunks are fried. Further sock in the batter of flour, cornflour, buttermilk, sriracha, smoked paprika, garlic powder and black pepper. It’s garnished with a spicy Sriracha mayo swirl and serve with the Sriracha Mayo on the side. The chicken is different, unlike the regular ones. Try for its taste.

Spicy New Orleans Prawns:

Perfectly cook prawns are toss in olive oil. Along with onion, garlic, bell peppers, with spicy Sriracha sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika. The prawns are light, juicy with a mix of flavours and taste.

Now coming to the mains: Vegetarian Bulgogi:

It’s the famous Korean dish, why Bulgogi?
Because bull means fire n Gogi means grill meat. Since it’s vegetarian instead of meat we have cottage cheese cubes and mushroom. Cook with garlic; onion with a touch of gochujang ( Korean hot pepper paste). Serve with coriander rice, quite filling with a blend of Korean taste.

For desserts, we had the Chocó chip Cookie Shake:

The shakes have the glass filled with milk and whip cream top with vanilla ice cream, choco-chip chips and a Vanilla ice cream sandwich. A perfect cookie-based shake to end your meal.

Nutella Pretzel Shake:

This is my favourite, milk, chocolate ganache, Nutella and vanilla ice cream. All together gives you the best shake. The glass is then top with vanilla ice cream, garnish with pretzel sticks. These shakes are not very heavy or sweet, so perfect for me, who doesn’t like heavy sweets.

Lastly, we did try a number of during our visit, from Pan Salsa Rasna to Orange, all the sheesha were smooth, giving a good flow and there was someone to check on the Koyla at proper intervals, which makes the overall experience smooth and lovely.

All in all, a great place to have that perfect party, hangout or just to chill. This is the Club in Andheri that has everything we need. We were a group of 10 people hence you can understand how and where this much food went 😉
