Refreshment Room/ Canteen
Explanation:
'Canteen' is more British and is used for factories or educational and military premises.

There are other words too, but 'Refreshment Room' is the best equivalent for our 'AbdAr-khune'.

Canteen:

- a flask for carrying water; used by soldiers or travelers
- sells food and personal items to personnel at an institution or school or camp etc.
- a restaurant outside; often for soldiers or policemen
- a recreation room in an institution
- restaurant in a factory; where workers can eat
