For Puneites, Cafe Goodluck is not just a place to hang out; it is an emotion that generations live by. Located on Fergusson College Road, the cafe has been famous for its chai and bun maska. Unfortunately, one of their key offerings recently led to the temporary shutting down of the 90-year-old establishment.

The report states that a customer allegedly discovered a piece of glass in their bun maska. The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now temporarily suspended its license over hygiene issues, an official said.

The action came after Aakash Jalagi, a resident of Dhayari, posted a video online claiming he found a piece of glass in his bun maska order. Aakash told Pune Mirror that he and his wife planned a small date at FC Road. "We went to Cafe Goodluck and ordered tea along with Bun Maska. When my wife took a bite, she felt a transparent, hard substance in her mouth," he said.

According to reports, an inspection was conducted, during which some unhygienic conditions were found. We have suspended the eatery's license until further orders and necessary compliance.

According to online media reports, the owner of Cafe Goodluck, Kasim Irani, acknowledged the incident and stated that the bread used for the bun maska came from another bakery and was not made in-house. He also mentioned taht although the cafe had apologised and waived the bill, the customer alleged that the issue was handled poorly, leading him to lodge a complaint.
