Girgaum's beloved restaurant shuts down after 75 years due to family dispute
For 75 years, Girgaum's Anant Ashram served the "best crab curry ever". Not anymore. The restaurant has joined Mumbai's much-loved food joints like Cafe Naaz and Cafe Brabourne in downing shutters.
Anant Ashram, known for its non-vegetarian cuisine, shut down last month after a family dispute among its owners the Khadpe family.
Activist Nandini Sardesai said, "I have the most memorable memories of Anant Ashram. Dilip and I visited the place even before we got married.
Dilip was the one who introduced me to this place, where I could savour the yummiest crab curry and rice."
The End: Entrance of Anant Ashram wears a deserted look.
Cafe Brabourne, Marine Lines, was opened 75 years ago, but shut shop last year
Cafe Samovar at Jehangir Art Gallery, Fort, was started in 1963. It was forced to shut down around two years ago, but reopened later
