Tora opens 40-seater restaurant in Mumbai's Versova, with founders eyeing a wider hospitality brand
Our read
Tora is more likely to spend its first stretch proving the 40-seat Versova restaurant than announcing a second outlet.
For operators
Tora adds just 40 seats in Versova, so it is no immediate threat to nearby F&B operators, but its chef-led menu and dedicated beverage programme are worth watching as a differentiator in a crowded neighbourhood.
