Nowadays, when we choose a restaurant for lunch or dinner, we first check how it looks. Restaurant interiors are getting crazy, and each place has its own charm. But have you ever thought about what it would be like to have dinner inside a plane? Interesting, right? Now, you can actually do that on the Pune-Satara highway. Brownstone Air Dine has turned a decommissioned Airbus A319 into Maharashtra’s first airplane restaurant. Read on to know more!
Maharashtra’s First Airplane Restaurant
There have been various airplane restaurants across Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Noida. As per NDTV, these restaurants inspired Milind Shinde, who wanted to offer something beyond the usual highway eateries. So, he decided to bring one to Maharashtra. Milind bought the plane in 2023 and spent nearly two years customising the interiors before opening it to the public at the end of 2025.
The experience at this restaurant is truly memorable. Guests receive a boarding pass priced at ₹250. You can click selfies in the cockpit, and as soon as you enter the airplane, you’ll be greeted like you’re boarding a flight. Also, don’t forget to explore the photo-friendly corners inside. Families with children will love it too. The indoor seating can accommodate around 75 diners, and the restaurant also has outdoor seating for the growing crowd.
