If you are in Mumbai or have lived in Mumbai, you have certainly heard of Toto’s Garage.
The iconic bar in Bandra has been demolished by the BMC officials today for illegal property extension.
For the uninitiated, those who have not lived in Mumbai, these tweets shall tell you how much it means to the city.
Interviewer: “@thesatbir, Any fond memories of Mumbai?”

Memories of Mumbai. 8 years later. Bhajiya pav, totos and some awesome egg burji.

BMC demolishing Totos and Soul Fry in Bandra. People being murdered/raped but we’re more concerned about harmless extension of property.

While there is a lot of panic among Mumbaikars over this piece of information that they have just been bombarded with, we hear, it could possibly be up and running soon.
So, do we worry or not?
Ok new update on #totos. Should be back in business soon. Only front is being broken
