A group of four men who gorged on Rs 5,000 meal of crab, fish and alcohol at Dahanu’s famous seafood joint, Crazy Crab restaurant and bar, and then fled without paying the bill have left the eatery’s management in a very crabby mood. The restaurant manager and the server who waited on the group chased after the quartet on a motorcycle, but the group drove off in their car.

The customers had visited the Dahanu beach-facing restaurant for the first time on Friday night. “I don’t think we have seen them before at my restaurant,” said owner Micky Irani. Irani told mid-day that Friday nights are usually very busy at the restaurant, as many visitors make an outing to Dahanu to enjoy the sun and sand, as well as the seafood over the weekend.
