MUMBAI, India - A restaurant named Hitler's Cross Cafe that enraged India's small Jewish community has been renamed The Cross Cafe, its owner said Tuesday.

Puneet Sablok said Nazi swastikas that adorned signs advertising the eatery and its menus would be removed and the new name would appear on billboards and the menu.

The restaurant opened Aug. 18, quickly drawing the ire of India's small Jewish community and Jewish leaders met with Sablok to demand that the name be changed. There are about 5,500 Jews in India and about 4,500 live in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay.

"When I had a meeting with the Jewish people and they told me about how the name hurt them, I decided to change it," said Sablok, whose restaurant is in Navi Mumbai, a suburb of Mumbai. "I never wanted to hurt anyone and do business."

No matter how you try to hide it.

Some people who found this amusing should reevaluate what they think they stand for.
