Awadhi taste at Lucknow airport soon

LUCKNOW: Kababs, warqi parathas, nahari-kulcha, korma, sheermal, zarda, kulfi, khasta and mouthwatering chaat will soon be available at the Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport, Lucknow.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is in process of finalizing tenders for the stalls of Awadhi foods inside the airport.
The idea for Awadhi fast food stall was mooted last year but the delay caused because the airports authority was in a dilemma whether or not to allow ovens or gas stoves inside the terminal building.
The AAI wants the stalls to use microwave or electric cookers, or to cook the food outside the terminal and then cater it inside, to which the companies did not agree, but now the problem seems to have been solved.
According to officials of the Airport Authority of India, Lucknow airport would present a true taste of the city in its premises. “For the first time, food would be used to showcase the city’s culture and promote tourism.”
People from all over the world talk about the city’s food but now they would also talk about the great hospitality provided by the airport staff, as the Airport Authority of India has decided to set up a ‘May I help You’ desk inside the terminal.
This special desk would help first time travelers, women and senior citizens with their problems.
Officiating director AK Awasthi, said, “first time travelers often face a lot of problems in checking in, reaching planes or getting their luggage checked.
The staff of the desk would wear special jackets and will be available inside the terminal.
They would help anyone sick or having problems in walking, checking in, ticketing, luggage carrying or else requiring food and water.
