The cascading effect of the controversial beef ban in Maharashtra has now hit one of Mumbai’s most popular restaurants, Leopold Café as the beef menu has disappeared from its tables.
Leopold’s, as it is called in Mumbai, is one of the many restaurants in the city hit hard by the beef ban.
The café in Colaba in South Mumbai, which is one of the oldest Irani-run restaurants set up in 1871, has witnessed a sharp fall in footfalls for the first time since the terror attacks.
“The business has come down by more than 30 per cent,” Farhan Jehan, Partner, Leopold Café, told The Hindu .
“Instead of moving ahead, we are going backwards. Even in Muslim countries and world cities like Dubai, pork is freely available.”
Dishes like beef chilli, beef kebabs and beef burgers were some of the most sought after in the elaborate menu at Leopold.
