Mumbai’s iconic Chowpatty Restaurant New Yorker has announced its closure in a social media post, stating that the place was downing shutters on September 11.
The announcement was made by Ranbir Batra, owner of New Yorker, in a post on Instagram. The iconic Tex-Mex-Italian-Indian vegetarian restaurant at Chowpatty seaface was founded by his father Tony Brar. According to The Free Press Journal, no reasons were given for the decision.
Ever since this dining place opened 45 years ago, two generations of Mumbaikars had enjoyed its delectable fare. The FPJ noted that if the oldies preferred to go to Cream Centre next door for its outsized baturas and chhole, the younger generation headed for New Yorker.
In his post, Ranbir said, "There is sadness as this restaurant opened a few years before I was born, close to 45 years ago.....It is due to some unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances that we have to shut our doors...but we pray this is not the end. We hope to continue to serve you some of our most popular dishes via a delivery model soon enough and then the door will always be open for New Yorker to come back in a new way. For now though, we say goodbye to this location."
The Instagram post also hints that NY may relocate to another location. As per the report, there is speculation that the building may be going in for redevelopment and that is the reason for the restaurant’s closure.
As per the report, the eatery was mostly known for its Mexican tomato soup, Feta cheese salad, Smoky chipotle hummus, Nachos, Mexican galouti tikkis, Paneer quesadilla, Bean and cheese enchiladas, Burrito bowl, Blue Tribe Veg Sausage pizza, Pesto Genovese, Good ol' Arrabiatta, Mucho grande pizza, and burger among many other things,
