India's financial capital is rockin' with the opening of Hard Rock Café, Mumbai in Bombay Dyeing Mills, Opp. Kamala Mills City Studio, Pandurang Budhkar Marg, Worli, Mumbai, the newest and most up-and-coming district of the city. As the first Hard Rock Cafe in India, the Mumbai cafe will make a grand entrance, offering its guests great American fare in a rock 'n' roll atmosphere.
Additionally, a star-studded VIP party and concert will welcome the cafe on February 8, 2006.
"India has meant so much to rock music over the years that I couldn't be more excited to finally open Hard Rock Cafe in Mumbai," said Hamish Dodds, president and CEO of Hard Rock International. "Hard Rock was actually founded on principles from Indian culture. 'Love All, Serve All,' the motto on the wall of each and every Hard Rock, is derived directly from our founder's long love affair with India. So, in a sense, the opening of this new Hard Rock Cafe feels very much like coming home."
