An Indian takeaway Mumbai Mix took on the Miller Arcade spot opposite Yum Yums and the bus stops but has now closed and new owners have come in to attempt a Chinese restaurant and takeaway instead.

Two weeks ago on Instagram the restaurant posted ‘A place goes dark. Another one rises. Dumplings in the shadows’.

At the moment the restaurant is only available for takeaway.

It was previously operating out of the Cake Box unit in Church Street as a takeaway-only.
