Zima Opens in Versova: A Middle Eastern Culinary Tale Unfolds in Mumbai

Mumbai’s buzzing culinary landscape just got another reason to celebrate. Zima, the acclaimed Middle Eastern restaurant known for its warm hospitality and authentic fare, has opened its second outlet — this time in Versova. Following the success of their Bandra location, founders Zareen Baig and Atiq Kapadia bring their passion for the region’s food culture to a new neighbourhood, inviting diners on a flavourful journey across the Middle East.

The new Versova outpost captures the essence of Zima’s original vision — a relaxed yet refined space that brings people together through food. With indoor and outdoor seating thoughtfully designed to reflect Middle Eastern aesthetics, the restaurant aims to create a welcoming experience for anyone seeking soulful, hearty meals rooted in tradition.

The menu at Zima Versova continues the brand’s celebration of Middle Eastern cuisine. Guests can explore a wide range of dishes such as the Hummus Trio, Falafel Pockets, Prawns Othmalia, Riyash Ghanam, Grand Mix Grill Platter, Tarha, Prawn Provencal, and Beetroot Rice. Also on offer are hearty bowls and crisp salads that nod to both classic recipes and contemporary trends. The dessert section includes signature sweets like the Dubai Pistachio Knafeh Crunch and Milk Cake, along with traditional Emirati Tea.

Speaking about the expansion, Atiq Kapadia shared, “The response in Bandra was incredible and gave us the confidence to bring Zima to more people. With the launch of Zima Versova, we’re continuing our commitment to creating a space that celebrates tradition and the joy of good food.”

Zareen Baig added, “Every dish on the menu carries a bit of our story. Zima is not just about food — it’s about connecting people to the cultural depth and richness of the Middle East.”

Zima Versova is designed to be more than just a place to eat — it’s an invitation to slow down, gather around the table, and experience hospitality that feels personal. With a menu that blends familiarity with discovery, it’s poised to become a new favourite among food lovers across the city.
