The New Indian Express|December 23, 2024

Long queues, limited food mar user experience at Marina Food Festival

The festival, which showcased food from various districts, drew a decent crowd but many visitors who waited in long queues said dishes ran out quickly.

Anandhi S (26) from Avadi, who visited the event said, "Despite knowing it's the weekend, they ran out of food early. I waited in the queue for half-an-hour and by 2pm when I reached the stall to buy brinji, they said it was over and only curd rice was left. They could have managed the situation better by checking quantities and informing people in the queue to avoid long waits," she said.
