Awadh once ruled by the moguls, followed by the Nawabs has a distinct character in the food this region serves. Neel – Tote on the Turf brings the rich flavours of Awadhi cuisine to Mumbai’s elite. Located at Mahalaxmi race course this luxurious restaurant is set out to woo you with is delectable serves and stellar hospitality.
While we got down from our self driven and walked to the little reception, a warm welcome extending steward escorted us to a still empty restaurant. A glimpse into the Monsoon chapter of the Neel’s signature menu had us hooked from the very first serve.
Below are our recommendations.

Wrapping up!
Neel’s Monsoon chapter Signature menu is as bestowing as the monsoons have been in the country this year. Just like the heavy down pour in some places is a little bit of a challenge so are some dishes on the Main course. This does not take away anything from the fact that the starters and desserts are stupendous! Must visit!
