For the first time in at least 100 years, the famous food stalls and shops on Mumbai's Mohammed Ali Road are closed down — and aren't likely to reopen this Ramadan.
"It's electrifying, it's buzzing, it's packed with people," says Mumbai-based food writer Kalyan Karmakar, who first visited Mohammed Ali Road during Ramadan 20 years ago."There are so many lights and festoons."
It's difficult to know exactly when Ramadan revelers first started breaking their fasts on Mohammed Ali Road. Karmakar says it could have been as long as 250 years ago.
