Water theme restaurant in Bangalore: India's first ocean restaurant
What makes it a water-themed setting
Most "water restaurants" in a city use a fish tank on a wall or a pool view. At Aquarium Paradise, the restaurant sits inside a working aquarium. Around it you get:
- What the aquarium calls India's longest underwater tunnel
- An ocean-view seating lounge
- Indoor man-made waterfalls
- A jellyfish room with reflective walls
- Freshwater and marine fish, including moray eel, tarpon and alligator gar
So a meal here comes with a proper look at marine life, not just decor.
Food rules worth knowing
Outside food and drinks are not allowed in Aquarium Paradise. Infant food and water bottles are fine. If you want to eat before or after, the Fun World complex next door allows outside food and has paid food counters, though that needs a Fun World ticket.
