Master Chef finalist Geetha Sridhar shares Secret Indian Recipe  - Kothamalli Sadam  at Lake View Cafe (  Renaissance Mumbai Convention Centre Hotel  ) The Sun was shining bright and hitting fright on 15th May, but as soon as I entered the Greenilicious environs of  Renaissance Mumbai Convention Centre Hotel  I encountered the paradise.

Multi Animated Zoo Resto-Bar ,   DJ road, Ville Parle West, Mumbai-400056.  Tel: +91 7303966227 I have accorded 5 stars to  Zoo Bar .
