New innings at Tendulkar's

Tendulkar's, the restaurant near Gateway of India, Colaba, is going in for a revamp.

The restaurant, owned by cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, has been closed from June 22, but is likely to open, "as soon as possible", said a representative of Mars Restaurants, of which the restaurant is a part.

Facelift: Tendulkar's at Colaba will be revamped.

The representative added, "It is going to be back as Tendulkar's, but I can't tell you whether it would re-open as Tendulkar's with a capital T or a small t."

But he confirmed that, "The Tendulkar family is involved in the revamp. They have always taken a keen interest in the restaurant."

When the restaurant was launched in 2002, Sachin was involved in the décor and planning.

Tendulkar's had some of his favourite dishes like fried Bombay Duck and baingan bhartha. Now, the cuisine too will be revamped, but they "would like to keep up the suspense for a while".

Sanjay Narang, Sachin's business partner and head honcho of Mars Restaurants, was unavailable for comment.
The souvenir store below the restaurant is also going to close.
