Speaking on the same, Sunil Gupta, PRO, Tihar Jail, said, "Our aim is to serve quality food at reasonable rates. Several inmates of Tihar's semi-open prison have undergone hotel management training a month ago under a Ministry of Tourism initiative and now they'll be trying their hands on it professionally.”
The restaurant has a seating capacity of 50 persons and is open from 10 in the morning till 10 at night and is also planning to deliver food in areas falling within a radius of one kilometre. Around 10 of the 45-50 inmates who underwent training in housekeeping, cooking and hotel management are working at the restaurant.
