The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) has introduced a ground-breaking initiative by unveiling a restaurant housed inside a metro coach on the Aqua Line, connecting Noida with Greater Noida. This innovative dining experience marks a significant development in the realm of public transportation and culinary ventures.
Located at the Sector-137 metro station in Noida, the restaurant offers a unique setting for patrons to enjoy their meals while seated inside a fully furnished metro coach. With a seating capacity to accommodate over 100 diners simultaneously, the dining area replicates the layout and ambiance of a typical metro coach, providing a novel and immersive experience for commuters and visitors alike. In addition to the in-coach dining experience, the restaurant also offers home delivery services, catering to the preferences of customers who prefer to dine in the comfort of their homes. While the interior decoration of the coach remains unchanged, a central table has been strategically placed to facilitate dining, complemented by sofas arranged in the covered area outside the coach. Operating from 11:30 am to 12 midnight, the restaurant has been leased to an agency on a nine-year contract, indicating a long-term commitment to providing this unique culinary experience to metro passengers and the general public. This venture not only adds a new dimension to the Aqua Line metro service but also underscores NMRC’s commitment to enhancing customer experience and exploring innovative avenues for revenue generation.
Commuters who visited the restaurant expressed their excitement, with many capturing selfies and photographs. “I reside in a nearby sector and frequently use the metro from Sector 137. Once it is officially opened, I plan to visit the restaurant with my family and intend to celebrate my birthday party here on May 2,” stated Nimisha Mehta, a commuter. The introduction of a restaurant within a metro coach reflects NMRC’s forward-thinking approach and willingness to embrace unconventional ideas to enrich the commuting experience. By seamlessly blending transportation and gastronomy, NMRC has created a distinctive offering that is sure to capture the interest of commuters and food enthusiasts alike, further positioning the Aqua Line as a symbol of modernity and innovation in the realm of urban transportation.
