Aquarium Paradise Restaurant: India's First Ocean Restaurant

Popular aquarium restaurant options in Bangalore

Many restaurants in the city have a fish tank on the wall. A restaurant inside a working aquarium is different, and ours is the one we can speak for:

The ocean restaurant at Aquarium Paradise: part of the aquarium at Palace Grounds, Jayamahal Main Road, opposite TV Tower, inside the Fun World complex.
The ocean-view seating lounge: not a restaurant, but a place to sit and watch the fish between galleries.

We have not published a menu or restaurant prices online. For today's menu, call +91 96063 11881 before you go. More detail is on our pages on the ocean restaurant and this underwater restaurant in Bangalore.

Choosing the right aquarium restaurant

Ask three things before you pick any aquarium-themed place: is the aquarium real and large, is it easy to reach, and does it suit your group. Ours sits inside a full aquarium visit, so you can pair a meal with India's longest underwater tunnel, the jellyfish room and the indoor waterfalls.

Aquarium entry costs ₹499 for adults and ₹449 for kids on weekdays, and ₹599 and ₹549 on weekends and holidays. Book on the tickets page and use AQUA100 for ₹100 off.

Restaurants near Aquarium Paradise

If you would rather eat outside, J.C. Nagar, RT Nagar, Sadashivanagar and Malleswaram are all close to Palace Grounds and have plenty of local eateries, from darshinis to sit-down restaurants. Check reviews and timings on your maps app before you go. Fun World next door allows outside food and has paid food counters, but that is for Fun World ticket holders.

Tips for visiting

Time your meal around the diver's fish-feeding at 6:30 PM for a lively evening.
