The Coimbatore Railway Station recently got a food plaza with a restaurant, a juice shop and sweets shop. E. Harikrishnan, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Salem Division, launched it. The food plaza is 138 sq m in size. It will prove to be a great facility for passengers.
For the first time ever it has happened that, non-vegetarian dining has been introduced at this railway station. Indeed, separate dining areas have been kept for the customers having a preference for vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. The look of the food plaza is inspired by airport food courts. It has five stalls such as a restaurant, coffee shop, sweet stall, a stall for packaged food and a juice stall. This dining area is situated in the concourse area on the left side to the entrance.
The railway officials revealed that the food plaza was made and inaugurated within three months because there were long-pending demands made by the passengers. The Coimbatore Railway Station has become the third railway station in the Salem Division to serve the passengers at its food plaza.
