Dinner @ TOWN BUS!!

The topic might slightly be confusing, but this definitely is not the narration of my experience in a bus. What I am trying to refer is a new hotel named "TOWN BUS", that has started functioning in the busy Arcot Road, near Power house in Kodambakkam. Recently mom was with me in Chennai and felt it was the right time to experiment or rather try it out in this Hotel. Had initially looked this hotel from the outside (sure each passerby will at least stare at it once) while travelling there and was curious spending time there. The hotel by itself is modelled as a Town bus (17 D is the number they have mentioned) and hence the name. The entry just gives a feeling of entering into a city bus.

Not just the entry, but the sequence of the below happenings/experience there the other night sure made it a memorable dinner.

• The seats there were an exact replica of the recently released "Sohusu bus"

• There were few support-rests hanging at the roofing similar to the ones that help passengers travelling by standing

• The hotel servers came dressed up similar to that of a conductor with a typical conductor bag and a whistle
  

• The windows well ensured that it gave us a feeing that we are inside a bus
  

(See attached the corresponding pics below)

Apart from the above efforts that were majorly focused in justifying the customers of the name christened, the following factors were observed which shall sure make the new customer a repeat customer.

• There was a space, rather a room provided for customers to have their food in hanging chairs (similar to the hammock chairs) and within each family table, there was a hanging chair suited for a kid


• Ordered for a dosa (as always to finish the proceedings), and was pleasantly surprised seeing a flower designed on it neatly

• The hygiene factor - the hotel was pretty decent and was clean, with all the servers neatly dressed

Upon checking with the hotel inmates, was given to understand that this hotel is owned by a friend of lyricist Vairamuthu. The owner's father was a bus driver, and that apparently talks about the idea of this hotel by itself. Initially in this place, another hotel (Arya Bhavan) was functioning and the owner has bought it and brought about the TOWN BUS.

In all, a good place to hang out and have quality food; but a better place to admire the innovation and difference from the mundane hotels... Sure the repeat customers shall be propogaters ensuring new customers (the write up being no exception as well)!!
