Chef de Partie

**Welcome to Total Environment Hospitality Private Limited**

At Total Environment Hospitality Private Limited (TEHPL), we love creating rich, colourful, and vibrant experiences that evoke emotions and touch the heart. Drawing inspiration from nature, the earth, arts and crafts, and our deep-rooted cultural heritage, Windmills celebrates the harmonious union of music, carefully curated food, and fine craft beer, set amidst a treasure trove of hand-picked books.

Since opening in September 2012, Windmills has become a place where friends and family come together to enjoy craft beer, delicious food, and beautiful music from around the world. As we celebrate our 11th anniversary, we reflect on the wonderful friends we've made and the joyful moments we've shared.

Our other offering, our labour of love, Oota Bangalore. A restaurant that celebrates the cuisine, culture and traditions of Karnataka.

In Kannada, "Oota aita?" (Have you eaten?) is more than just a greeting. It's an ice-breaker, a question of general concern, and a symbol of Karnataka hospitality. Using that warmth and graciousness as inspiration, we created Oota, a dining experience that features hyper-local Karnataka cuisine
