Noor Mohammadi restaurant, located at Bhendi Bazaar in South Mumbai, has a long queue snaking up the road on February 25.
Though the restaurant is well frequented by Mumbai's locals, today is a special day.
It is the day that Sanjay Dutt has been released from jail, and the restaurant's owner Noor Mohammadi Khalid Hakim is serving his signature dish, Sanju Baba Chicken, free of cost to his patrons.
"I heard on radio that this dish will be served free and that's why I came here to eat,” says Manohar Tambe, a sales executive from Chembur, an eastern suburb of Mumbai.
"I am very happy to see Sanjay Dutt as a free man. I have watched many of his films. Vaastavand Lagey Raho Munna Bhai are my favourites," he adds.

Khalid stands at the restaurant's entrance, and keeps a watch on the proceedings. He shouts at his customers, asking them to maintain a queue and not create chaos.
"As promised, I am serving 'Sanju Baba Chicken' free till midnight,” Khalid says.
This signature dish has been prepared according to the recipe given to Khalid by Sanjay Dutt himself, seven years ago.
A huge fan of Dutt, Khalid had asked the actor to inaugurate a family room in his restaurant way back in 1986, and Dutt had done so.
"We have been friends for more than 30 years now and I am very happy to see Sanjay Dutt out of prison,” Khalid says.
