First India: Mumbai: Thursday, 25 September 2025.
A high-profile restaurant
and club in Juhu has come under the spotlight after an RTI response revealed
that the establishment does not possess key licenses required for legal
operation.
What the RTI Response Says

According to the RTI reply issued by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), no trade license has been granted in the name of Bora-Bora Restaurant, located opposite Juhu Beach on Juhu Tara Road.
The reply further clarified:
Trade License: No trade license was issued for the restaurant.
In Mumbai, a trade license issued by the BMC is mandatory for hotels and restaurants to operate. It certifies that an establishment complies with health, safety, and local food regulations.
Similarly, registration under the Shops & Establishment Act is required for all commercial establishments. Signage and display licenses are equally important, as they regulate outdoor advertisements and ensure compliance with civic guidelines.
Key Questions Raised
With the RTI response now public, questions are being raised over how long the restaurant has been operating without the necessary approvals and whether authorities will take further action.
Awaiting Official Action
At present, there has been no official word from the BMC on possible enforcement measures. Observers believe that once such gaps are confirmed, the administration is expected to review the case and act accordingly.
