Mumbai’s iconic New Yorker restaurant to close after 45 years
After over 40 years, South Mumbai’s iconic vegetarian restaurant New Yorker will shut its doors on September 11, 2025. Famous for its nachos and brownies, the Chowpatty landmark closes due to family circumstances, though a delivery comeback may be on the horizon.
The iconic vegetarian restaurant in South Mumbai New Yorker which has been delighting Mumbai residents with its food for over 40 years, will close its doors on September 11, 2025. Renowned for its delicious brownies over-the-top nachos, and unique blend of Mexican, Italian, and Indian flavors, the restaurant has been a beloved landmark in Chowpatty since the 1980s.
According to owner Ranbir Batra the decision to close was made due to “unexpected and unfortunate family circumstances.”
In an emotional note he wrote
“This was very difficult, and my father and I are still struggling to come to terms with it.” Ranbir who grew up in the restaurant shared how his grandmother, Lalita Batra, started it in 1980, with his father, Tony Batra, supporting her from the beginning.
The good news is that while the physical space will close the family hasn’t ruled out reopening. Ranbir hinted at a possible delivery model in the future saying, “Our doors will always be open to bring New Yorker back in a new way.”
For food lovers this news feels like the end of an era. The announcement has sparked a flood of memories, both online and at the restaurant. Customers queued for hours for their last meal sharing memories of first dates, college hangouts, birthdays, and family celebrations. One social media user wrote, “This is so sad.” Another called it a “cherished memory” from their college days.
Celebrities and influencers are also sharing their thoughts. Comedian Sahil Bhalla called it “cherished childhood memories,” while photographer Ujjwal Puri said, “Nothing beats the nachos.” NCP spokesperson Anish Gavande called it “the end of an era.”
On their last day, the Batra family says their only plan is simple, to serve their guests with a smile and a grateful heart.
Ranbir stated, “We will do what we have always done: serve people with dedication, a smile, and genuine gratitude.”
Mumbai is bidding farewell to one of its most beloved food spots, but there’s hope that New Yorker will return in some new form one day.

Mumbai Court Clerk Arrested for Rs 15 Lakh Bribe; Additional Sessions Judge Named as Wanted Accused
The Mumbai ACB has exposed a major bribery scandal involving a Mazgaon court clerk and Additional Sessions Judge Ejazuddin Qazi. The clerk was caught accepting a Rs 15 lakh bribe for a favorable land-dispute verdict, while the judge—named in the FIR—remains absconding.
The Mumbai Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has uncovered a major bribery scandal involving the City Civil and Sessions Court in Mazgaon.
A court clerk has been arrested for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 15 lakh from an Additional Sessions Judge in exchange for a favorable verdict in a land dispute case. The accused clerk identified as 40-year-old Chandrakant Vasudev was caught red-handed accepting the agreed bribe amount on Tuesday.
Shockingly 55-year-old Additional Sessions Judge Ejazuddin Salauddin Qazi is also named in the FIR and is currently absconding. This is one of the rare cases in recent years where a serving judge has been charged under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
According to ACB officials the complainant’s wife filed a petition in the Bombay High Court in 2015 alleging that another group had forcibly occupied land owned by the company in Bandra. Since the property’s valuation was less than Rs 10 crore the High Court stayed third-party rights in 2016 and later transferred the commercial dispute to the Mazgaon City Civil and Sessions Court in March 2024.
Most importantly the case was listed before Court No. 14 where Judge Kazi presided. On September 9, 2025 the complainant’s office colleague received a call from Vasudev who was present in the courtroom. A meeting later took place at a cafe in Chembur on September 12 where Vasudev allegedly demanded Rs 25 lakh (Rs 15 lakh for Judge Kazi and Rs 10 lakh for himself) to secure a favorable order.
After negotiations the clerk agreed to a lower amount of Rs 15 lakh. Vasudev allegedly made repeated calls demanding payment prompting the complainant to contact the ACB on November 10th and file a formal complaint.
After verifying the allegations ACB officials laid a trap on November 11th. Top Stories Vasudev arrived to receive the Rs 15 lakh bribe and was immediately arrested. Investigators reported that immediately after receiving the money Vasudev called Judge Kazi to inform him that the payment had been received.
The judge reportedly acknowledged this evidence that proved his involvement. It’s worth noting that the ACB has now filed a case against both Vasudev and Judge Kazi under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Vasudev has been remanded to five days’ police custody while Judge Kazi remains at large.
ACB officials say further investigation is underway to trace their whereabouts and unearth the entire bribery network.

Today’s Silver Rate in Mumbai (November 14 , 2025)
Silver rates in Mumbai today are:
Silver 10g: Rs 1,731
Silver 100g: Rs 17,310
Silver 1kg: Rs 1,73,100
Many people in Mumbai buy silver for savings, gifts, or jewellery. The price changes every day. It depends on the international market and how much people in India want to buy. Local taxes and demand in Mumbai also make a difference.
In Mumbai, silver shops are in places like Zaveri Bazaar and other big markets. Most small shops and big jewellery stores give almost the same rates. But you should always ask about making charges before you buy silver jewellery or coins.
Some people look at the price of gold to guess what will happen with silver. But both metals move differently. The current gold rate for 10g is much higher than the silver rate. That’s why silver is easier for small buyers.
Silver is used a lot in Indian homes for puja, utensils, and as gifts. In Mumbai, it is common to buy silver items during festivals like Diwali and Akshaya Tritiya. On these days, prices may go up if demand is high.
One thing to remember—rates quoted online or in newspapers often do not include extra charges. Shops may add GST or small making charges. Always check the final price before you buy.
Right now, global trends, import costs, and rupee value affect silver rates in Mumbai. Prices can go up or down suddenly. If you plan to buy, compare rates at different shops and stay updated. Don’t rush. Buy only what you need.

Mumbai Gold Rates Update November 14, 2025
Gold rates in Mumbai today are:
Gold 24k (10g): Rs 1,28,660
Gold 22k (10g): Rs 1,17,910
Gold 18k (10g): Rs 96,480
Gold is important in Mumbai. Many people buy gold jewellery here, especially during weddings and festivals. Gold is also seen as a way to save money for the future. In Mumbai, shops in Zaveri Bazaar and other markets are always busy with gold buyers.
Rates change every day. The prices above are only for today. Gold prices in Mumbai move with the global market, the value of the rupee, and import duties set by the government. Sometimes prices go up when the rupee falls, or if there is a festival season with more people buying.
If you visit a local jeweller, you may also have to pay making charges, GST, and other small fees. Always check the final bill. Gold shops in Mumbai are usually reliable, but it is good to check if you are buying hallmarked gold. Hallmark tells you the purity is genuine.
Some people buy gold as an investment. Others buy gold for personal use. Either way, you should track the daily rates before you decide. You can see the price online, in newspapers, or by asking local shops.
To sum up, gold is not cheap in Mumbai right now. Prices are higher than last year. So, if you are planning to buy, compare prices and be careful. Only buy what you can afford, and always keep your bill safe for any future resale. That is the honest way to deal with gold in Mumbai.
