No casualty has been reported as of now, Thane Municipal Corporation's disaster management cell chief Yasin Tadvi said.
The blaze erupted in the Parsik Cafe located on the ground floor of the six-story building at Kharegaon in Kalwa (West), he said.
The disaster management cell received information about the incident at 4:58 am from the owner of the cafe, a 1,000 sq ft establishment situated in the Chandrabhaga Park complex at Parsik Nagar in the Kalwa area, the official said.
The building, a six-story structure, also houses another wing, where residents were asleep when the blaze broke out.
"For safety reasons, all residents of Chandrabhaga Park B Wing were safely evacuated with the help of the fire department and disaster management cell personnel," Tadvi stated.
The blaze caused significant damage inside the cafe, destroying tables, chairs, grates, fridges, cupboards, and other kitchen materials, he said.
