Now that you know just how much fun I had at Tote here’s the PR package to go with it 🙂 Nobody Panic. The celebrity spotting is Take 3!
“A Destination for the Discerning launches in the heart of Mumbai. Superlative cuisine, dedicated event space and an uber-chic lounge bar. Award-winning architecture & design by Kapil Gupta & Chris Lee of Serie Architects. Unique musical identity conceived and created by the talented team at Submerge.

“After a decade of defining Bombay’s dining culture with award-winning gastronomical and hospitality ventures, Malini and Rahul Akerkar and their company deGustibus Hospitality, stand at the threshold of setting yet another milestone in the city’s gastronomical history – the much-awaited launch of “Tote on the turf” Having built a reputation for their world-class restaurants – Indigo, Indigo Cafe and Indigo Delicatessen; and recently, their premier catering company, Movable Feast, deGustibus Hospitality brings to the city another first-of-its-kind venture. Set amidst a lush canopy of 100-year old rain trees with a stunning backdrop of historic buildings and the green of the Mahalaxmi Race Course, Tote on the turf is spread over an area of 25,000 sq ft in mid-town. This is a pulsating urban playground where Bombayites will have the opportunity to come together at another landmark venture that brings together sprawling al-fresco dining, an elegant bar and restaurant and a unique versatile 8,000 sq ft dedicated event space.”
