The Leopold Cafe
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Cafe
The Leopold Cafe is a large and popular restaurant in Mumbai, India, founded in 1871[1]. The cafe was mentioned extensively in the novel Shantaram[2]. It serves numerous types of food: Indian, Western, Chinese, South American, etc., and beer and alcohol.[3]. Located across from the Colaba police station[4], it was targeted in the November 2008 Mumbai attacks[5] by terrorists. The restaurant was extensively damaged during the attacks. Gunmen sprayed the restaurant with bullets and there were blood stains on the floor and shoes left by fleeing customers."[6]
The cafe reopened four days after the attack[7], but was reclosed by the police as a safety measure after 2 hours because of the unexpected size of crowds gathering there.[8]. Regular business resumed the next day.
