“Cylinder Nahi Mil Rahe”: Saba Ibrahim Temporarily Shuts Mumbai Restaurant Khushamadeed
New Delhi: Saba Ibrahim, actor Shoaib Ibrahim’s sister and actress Dipika Kakkar’s sister-in-law, recently announced that her Mumbai-based restaurant, Khushamadeed, will remain closed for 15-20 days due to multiple operational challenges.
Gas Shortage Hits Operations
In her latest vlog, Saba, alongside her husband Khalid Niyaz, explained the reasons behind the temporary shutdown. One of the primary issues, they said, is a severe shortage of LPG cylinders.
“Aur cylinder bhi nahi mil raha hai. Hum pure time stress mein the ki cylinder nahi mil raha hai. Sabke saath ho raha hai, humare aas paas ke restaurant bhi 2-3 din se band hai. Lekin chalo koi na koi rasta niklega,” Saba explained. (Translation: We’re also facing a shortage of gas cylinders. We have been under constant stress trying to get cylinders. This is happening to everyone — nearby restaurants have also been closed for 2-3 days. But hopefully, we’ll find a solution.)
Structural Issues Prompt Safety Precautions
Besides the gas shortage, structural concerns with the restaurant’s interior design also contributed to the decision. Saba revealed that gaps in the panelling work allowed rats to enter the premises, making it unsafe to operate the restaurant.
“When you try something new, mistakes are bound to happen. We didn’t have enough knowledge at the time, and the people working on our interior were also new. They gave the restaurant a great look and did the panelling work, but gaps in between allowed rats to enter. When we saw this problem, we realised we couldn’t operate like this because it would be risky,” she said.
The couple assured fans that the restaurant would undergo repairs and improvements during the closure and will reopen with its best possible look.
