The Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC) and Coimbatore Smart City Limited (CSCL) organised 'Arusuvai Street' along Ukkadam Big Tank on Saturday.
Ten food stalls, each serving a unique menu, would be open from 10 a.m to 8 p.m. on Sunday, said a CSCL official.
"We charge ₹8,000 per stall, and an additional ₹2,000 if the stall owners have to set up electrical items such as refrigerator or microwave oven," the official said.
A few customers said the handwash facilities were not close to the stalls and hence, they had to use drinking water or walk for about 100 m to use the washbasins at the park. Some suggested to include authentic Coimbatore dishes in the menu, rather than offering shawarmas or popcorn.
Smart City officials said a few Coimbatore-special dishes were available in the stalls. "Plans for the upcoming months are yet to begin. We will try to bring in Kongunadu food fests in the upcoming weeks."
