Cafe Mondegar

This guide to Cafe Mondegar in Mumbai starts with the corner jukebox, said to be the first of its kind in the city, and traces the cafe to 1932, when it opened as a modest Irani cafe inside the Apollo Hotel on Colaba Causeway. It follows Bombay's Zoroastrian cafe culture, and the moment in the 1990s when owner Rusi Yazdegardi decided to redo the walls and called in Goan cartoonist Mario Miranda. You'll hear how students from the Sir J.J. Institute helped bring his sketches to life.
