Worldwide Accessibility Walk 2023 - Inclusivity and Accessibility!

Hello Everyone!

Greetings of the day!

Here I am with my another post and sharing with you all my own experience when it comes to wheelchair accessibility ‌‌in the most posh areas of Gurugram City. I visited two restaurants to not only share my food experience but what the place has to offer in terms of wheelchair accessibility.

  1. First I visited Gulati Restaurant, located in Mega Mall Gurugram City. :wheelchair:
  • Below is the slant areas for wheelchair navigation from drop area till restaurant:

  • As I moved in the mall area, I discovered three wheelchairs at different spots. I had a conversation with Helpdesk person, he said we have total 4 wheelchairs.

Mega Mall Accessibility Services:

  • Wheelchairs Available - Yes
  • Wheelchair Accessible Entrance : Yes
  • Wheelchair Accessibility Restroom: No
  • Staff Hospitality and Inclusivity: Yes

And, then I ordered the food at the restaurant - The food served delighted my taste buds to next level as it had the generous splash of flavors! Gulati Restaurant, Mega Mall

  1. Second, I visited my favorite coffee spot - Starbucks, this time at One Horizon Center, Gurugram City.

One Horizon Center has restaurants and offices. The entry has the plain surface for easy movement of wheelchair, a person can reach their favorite restaurant or office in no time. There is a well organized pick/drop area. :wheelchair:

Then, I headed towards Starbucks for evening coffee and snacks. Starbucks never disappoints when it comes quality and hygiene level of food. Their Merry Merry Bun uplifted the Christmas Vibes!

Starbucks, One Horizon Center

One Horizon Center Accessibility Services:

  • Wheelchairs Available - Yes
  • Wheelchair Accessibility Restroom: Yes

Hoping more places add for Wheelchair Accessibility Compliance and this would surely increase the drive for inclusivity!

Wonderful work @AnubhaBangia … great coverage and sharing you have here, with complete pictures and explanation. Kudos!

It’s good to know you have time to explore these places and share it with us, complete with food! In Indonesia, usually the malls and big shopping centers have complete features that enable persons with disabilities to access the place. I sincerely hope it works for small cafes or markets as well.
