Indira Canteen Reality Check – 4: It’s first-come-first-serve at CADA Office premises

February 28, 2022

Mysore/Mysuru: With quotes of litterateur D.V. Gundappa adorning the walls of Indira Canteen in CADA Office premises, this unique canteen is attracting a lot of customers. But for customers, it is like first-come-first-serve as food gets over quickly.

This canteen is clean and provides pure drinking water to customers. Hot water is used to wash utensils and the canteen is secured by CCTV cameras. There is no dearth for customers to this canteen and on average, more than 350 customers come here for breakfast and lunch daily.

As this Indira Canteen is located in the heart of the city and close to Mysore Palace, City Bus Stand, MCC Office, educational intuitions and various business establishments, this canteen is frequented by students, labourers, tourists, office-goers and others.

Every day 650 idlis, 15 to 20-kg lemon rice is supplied every morning and 350 tokens are given each day. The customers are happy to consume food at this canteen because of cleanliness. Food supplied here is not wasted as the quantity of food supplied is insufficient. If there is a demand, food is procured from the kitchen at Alanahalli or is got from other Indira Canteens.

While idly-chutney and chow-chow-bath are a regular feature for daily breakfast, lemon rice is prepared once a week. While a plate of three idlis cost Rs. 5, a plate of lemon rice is also sold for Rs. 5. Lunch consisting rice, sambar, papad and pickle costs Rs. 10 per plate. But dinner is provided free of cost, cashier Vani told SOM.

ONE COMMENT ON THIS POST To “Indira Canteen Reality Check – 4: It’s first-come-first-serve at CADA Office premises”

  1. Mann Ki Baat, Bisi Bele Baat! says:

    Lemon riceis prepared once a week? How could it be clean even if refrigerated, given the quality of refrigeration in India?
    Milk is in short supply in India, and hence the curd is prepared using milk powder imported !
    Now about clean water-oxymoron!
    No stray dogs nearby? No one is using the street where it is located as a toilet?
    Where is that poster calling himself @swamy, who thinks everything is clean and wonderful, and says the West is unclean?
