Why Will and Kate skipped a burger for some dosa at the Todi Mill Social

Visiting royals with their tight schedules seldom drop by at local eateries, but catching the pulse of cool and young India, Will and Kate decided to visit Todi Mill Social. The collaborative workspace played host to the Duke and Duchess this morning as they met aspiring Indian entrepreneurs to launch ‘GREAT for Collaboration’, a campaign by the UK government to promote collaborations between the nation and India.

“They were scheduled to be here for 45 minutes but stayed back for over an hour. Their genuine curiosity to learn about everything inspired me,” says Riyaaz Amlani, CEO at Impresario Entertainment and Hospitality, the brand that runs the Lower Parel-based restaurant.

“Since they arrived between breakfast and lunch, they didn’t eat from our menu, but did try a hand at making dosas,” says Amlani. The automatic dosa maker they tried this on was invented by Eshwar Vikas and was one of the highlights of this morning session with other young entrepreneurs like him.
