Popular Bandra eatery Santa Maria is shutting down on August 24 this weekend. Situated on Waroda Road, the local sandwich shop popular for its meat offerings, made the announcement on Instagram. While the statement said it was really short notice for them, they promise to be back soon, asking Mumbaikars to be on the look out for “"Santa Maria ~ Opening Soon”

The comments are full of sad patrons but also others who had planned to visit sometime soon, but now will have to wait, amid the uncertainty of the Mumbai rains.
