Months before it was to celebrate its 100th anniversary, Jimmy Boy, the iconic Parsi cafe in Mumbai, shut its operations. Located in the heart of Horniman Circle in Fort, the place was closed due to the deteriorating condition of the Vikas Building, which housed it.
Jimmy Boy has long been a culinary icon in South Mumbai, known for its Keema Pav, Berry Pulao, Dhansak, Mava Cakes, Brun Maska, and vintage Irani tea. But on the evening of June 20, the plan to celebrate its 100th anniversary at the original site hit a roadblock.
