The hotel was very well known to all and it was famous for its Uppit, Puri Bhaji amongst others dishes.

Many morning walkers would make it a point to have their breakfast and then head back home.

The hotel which has served the citizens since 1948 could be opened elsewhere in a different location but the same has not yet been identified.

Definitely this exit will hurt the bellies of the foodies.

  25. Somethings can never be replaced, this was one such thing happened to we Belgaumites.
    My fav Puri Bhaji like New Grand can never be recreated.

  30. Sad to hear of New Grand’s closure. It was a favorite snacks restaurant for jnmc medicos during the seventies. I remember the owner (late) Uncle Bandari faithfully siting at the counter. Sometimes his elder son (late) Vasant Bandari (a close friend of mine) used to cover. The younger son Nitin Bandari was groomed to take over Hotel Milan. We fondly remember their sincere services to us. God bless.
