Soon, Mumbai airport will turn into a foodie's paradise

Mumbai: The aroma of food will soon be wafting in the air at Mumbai airport's arrival area, with food courts being set up outside the domestic terminals in a month. And, around the same time, a six-cuisine dining area will be set up at the international airport.
Bang in the middle of the Diwali holiday travel season, the Mumbai airport will embark on a gastronomic adventure that could reduce-with a delicious twist-the boredom of waiting for a flight. "A 160-seat food court with eight kiosks will be constructed outside Terminal 1B; the smaller area outside terminal 1A will have a 60-seat food court with five kiosks,'' said Siddharth Sahgal, general manager (retail), Mumbai International Airport Pvt Ltd (MIAL). Both the food courts will have multi-cuisines on offer with the regular hog of Indian, Chinese and coffee joints.
However, Mumbai's attempt to enter the league of those airports where food is more than sandwiches, pastries and the like will be successful when the dining space at the international airport starts operating in October. The food will be from around the world but no gourmet fare as of now.
