Iconic Mani’s lunch home in Matunga faces shutdown???

Mani’s Lunch Home in Matunga is an iconic restaurant landlord. The restaurant which is not only nearby Ruia College and Podar College, but also the popular Matunga Gymkhana. Students of the two colleges and also the King George School and College regularly patronize the restaurant. Even the cricketers who play matches on Sundays also frequent the restaurant for relishing South Indian Snacks.

The family also own a restaurant in Sion where only meals is served.

News comes to the fore that the landlords N.N. Anand and Lalita Gupte who own the Maskar Building in which the restaurant is functioning, in a letter dated December 29, 2022 have asked the owner Subramani Narayanswamy to vacate the premises by January 31, 2023.

However, K.V. S. Rajamani, who manages the restaurant and is the uncle of Subramani Narayanswamy, makes it known to the media that the letter from the landlords has come as a rude shock.

The restaurant was started by his grandfather in the pre-independence period.
The restaurant serves quality south Indian snacks and filter coffee at reasonable rates. They have been paying rent regularly and his late brother Narayanswamy had an excellent personal equation with the landlords.

Rajamani hopes that saner council will prevail and if that doesn’t happen, then, he will be left with no options, but to proceed legally.

The meals outlet was operating in a building near the Matunga post office. However, since that building was to go for re-development, they shifted to Chembur.

Meanwhile, according to Subhash Ghatge, advocate for Mani’s Lunch Home, he will suitably reply to the landlords’ letter on behalf of the management of the iconic restaurant.
