For those who don’t know, Boman Kohinoor was only 20 years old when he took charge of Britannia & Co that was founded by his father, Rashid, in 1923.
Mumbaikars remember him as a kind, jolly man who always wanted his customers to have the best food experience.
Mr Kohinoor always admired Queen Elizabeth and the royal family, who he finally met in 2016.
From the very beginning, even his loyal customers have praised his restaurant and the food on Twitter. Here’s proof.

After hearing the news about his death, people also took to social media to pay tribute to this legend.
We will always admire his passion for all things food. You will be missed, Mr Kohinoor.
