Surprise! Upma for free
Matunga’s popular Udipi hangout, Cafe Madras, surprised their patrons yesterday, as part of their 75th anniversary celebrations. When unsuspecting foodies stepped in between 7 am to 12.30 pm and 4 pm to 8.30 pm (their timings in the 1940s) they had no idea what was in store.
Items like Upma, Idli and their bestseller, filter coffee that were the first few mentions on the menu when the restaurant opened 75 years ago, were priced according to their rates in the 1940s. Idli (20 paise), Upma (20 paise) and Coffee (15 paise).
For many, like this diarist, who had a 20 paise bill, the owners waved off the amount with a smile. The receipt that was issued read: ‘This day in 1940. Thank you all! Happy 75th.’ That’s why they were known as the good ole days, no?
