Mughlai food Mela winds up

In what some may perceive as a sad end to innovation and originality, Mela, the rustic-fair-themed restaurant at Worli's Phiriki Corner has been shut down.

Men at the gate, ostensibly in charge of securing the building compound, tell us that the closure was a consequence of the restaurant's inability to draw clientele, while Tiwari, a security guard, posted by the fading creepers that once adorned the entrance, assures us that proprietor Sanju Dwivedi has renovations in progress to ensure that a new eatery is up and running soon.
