Kyani & Co., the Irani cafe and bakery that has operated at Dhobi Talao in south Mumbai since 1904, was ordered by Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration to stop all food business after an inspection on 27 Sep 2026. The visit was part of a 23 to 27 Sep drive against Mumbai eateries.
Inspectors reportedly found rodent droppings, flies and dead cockroaches, blood in a refrigerator and an open sewer manhole in the food processing area. The order halts the purchase, preparation, storage and sale of food until the business corrects the problems and satisfies the FDA.
The order has not been published, and only one report of it has been found. A reopening, if it happens, will be added here.
What this means for you
A premises order, not a product ban
The order concerns the cafe's kitchen and storage. Businesses usually reopen once inspectors accept their corrective action.
This is a record of official orders, not medical advice. Do not stop a prescribed medicine without asking your doctor or pharmacist.
