Centre Atrium at Mayajaal

The main area or the centre Atrium as they call it serves as a food court. It is sometimes used for organising events or games. The large screen (Barco - Rear Projection System) placed diagonally opposite to the restaurant also serves as a crowd controller.The place is 'jammed', with around 2000 people coming in on Sundays. Invariably there is a huge queue for food, for the games or for the bowling; and when the crowd becomes uncontrollable, they play clippings of the Indian and Australian Cricket team's visit to Mayajaal, on the huge screen, which almost always simmers them down.

During the weekdays, on an average, they have around 400 people coming in. Mayajaal is closed on Mondays for maintenance. 30 people working round the clock on general maintenance and 18 on technical maintenance", A mammoth task, considering the fact have to keep up six theatres, one huge gaming arcade with 50 games, one big bowling alley, the food court and the shopping area up and running from 11:00 am. to 11:30 pm.

Cineplex at Mayajaal The food court is run by Stop At Sams, a wide variety of cuisine to choose from -North Indian, South Indian, Mughlai, Chinese....etc. On cards are some interesting tie-ups with a few other popular brands to complement the Food Court. Next to the shopping area is the Kid Care Centre, which has two attendants, who take care of children below five years of age.

allotted more space for shopping, and also they had a beauty parlour and a net café, when they started out. But their feedbacks told them that people did not want to spend money on general shopping, when they come in for entertainment. So the shopping area was reduced to concentrate only on themed merchandise. Also very few people are interested in browsing. The gaming arcade seems to be a huge hit with entertainment starved Chennai, so they are planning to put in more games in the future.
