Restaurants Mirchi & Mime and Madeira & Mime in Powai, which were closed down in July due to plummeting revenues, have been brought back to life. A group of four patrons not only launched a fundraiser for the restaurants' 50 speech- and hearing-impaired employees, but also wrote to the asset management company that owns the property the restaurants operate out of.

The closure of the popular restaurants had broken the hearts of several loyal patrons. The restaurants together used to earn a monthly revenue of Rs 1.5 crore.
