Mumbai restaurants may raise festive menu prices 10% to 15%
In short
Mumbai restaurants may increase menu prices by 10% to 15% in the next few weeks, AHAR said. It blamed higher costs for food, LPG, wages, rent and transport.
This matters because families going out for Diwali or Dussehra could pay more. The story does not say which restaurants will raise prices or how much of the increase customers will actually see.

Why it matters
AHAR said Mumbai restaurants may raise menu prices by 10% to 15% in the coming weeks because of higher costs for ingredients, LPG, wages, rents and transportation. The group said the move is meant to keep food quality, service standards and staffing in balance with affordability. The report does not identify specific chains or confirm whether all diners will face the increase, so the immediate impact is a likely local price rise.
