CROWN BAKERY, STORES and RESTAURANT, Mahim. .
We heard just yesterday that a little bit of local charm has dissapeared from LJ Road, Mahim.
Landmark Irani CROWN BAKERY STORES & RESTAURANT closed this week - the adjacent bakery is still operating but is not expected to last for too much longer.
We were fortunate to grab a chai and bun maska at CROWN just last month - here are a few photos we took that afternoon.
We'll miss taking a chai while enjoying the simple pleasure of watching the fish flutter, dive and dart in CROWN'S small back wall aquarium.
