T2 080 International Lounge

The 080 International Lounge at Bangalore Airport Terminal 2 is really nicely designed. I liked how they’ve included traditional Indian patterns, colours and cultural details throughout the lounge. 🧡Everything feels thoughtfully decorated and reflects the spirit of India. Even the toilets have beautiful details and were very clean. I really appreciated the effort put into the interiors! Unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing. Compared to other airport lounges we’ve visited, the selection was very limited, and most of the dishes we tried were dry and didn’t taste good. Considering how much variety Indian cuisine has to offer, I expected better food options and flavours. Another thing I noticed was that some of the plates and glasses were visibly dirty. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to take photos, but I think this is something they should pay more attention to. Overall, it’s a nice, quiet lounge with beautiful interiors and a comfortable atmosphere for waiting for your flight. However, food and drinks are also an important part of the lounge experience, and I feel this is where they need to improve the most. If you’re mainly looking for a peaceful place to sit before your flight, it’s a good option. But if you’re planning to have a proper meal, I’d personally recommend eating at one of the restaurants outside the lounge instead. 🙂🙂

We had a wonderful experience at Shalimar Lounge, located in the International Departures area of Terminal 2, Bengaluru Airport, on our way to Japan. The lounge is tastefully designed, with a lovely ambience and a thoughtfully curated menu. The chef (chef Subhash) truly deserves a special mention for the delicious nasi goreng, prawns, and vegetarian dishes we enjoyed. Everything was flavourful, beautifully prepared, and absolutely lip-smacking! What truly elevated the experience, however, was the exceptional hospitality extended by Priya, Bijay, and Vidya. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful in ensuring we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our visit. In fact, our flight was delayed by 15 minutes, and rather than being disappointed, we found ourselves rejoicing at the opportunity to spend a little more time at Shalimar, soaking in the wonderful ambience and enjoying the food! A truly memorable airport dining experience that goes well beyond expectations. Highly recommended, and we look forward to being back soon!

The 080 Lounge at Kempegowda International Airport in Bangalore is a fantastic place to unwind before a flight. It’s an incredibly peaceful space equipped with a lot of great facilities. What truly sets this lounge apart, though, is the staff. They are very caring, helpful, and do regular check-ins to ensure guests have everything they need. I want to give a special shoutout to Pragati, who was exceptionally proactive. It was great to see her reaching out to people and genuinely asking how they were enjoying the services. It is so refreshing to see this level of hospitality and customer care in an airport lounge. Highly recommended!

Visited this lounge at Bangalore Airport Terminal 2 during our international travel. We came around 10:30, 11 in the morning. The lounge is very easy to locate after security check, which was good. So, we didn’t have to search around too much. Registration was pretty quick too, and the interiors look really good and feel quite premium. There is a lot of space and overall the interiors are very nicely done. However, the seating could be better. The chairs were not that comfortable and the spacing between the tables was very less, so I was having difficulty getting in and out. I would suggest better spacing between the tables. Also, a large part of the lounge was closed off, even though people were sitting in the available area. Ideally, if there’s enough space, the complete lounge should be kept open, especially when there aren’t too many people. One of the biggest problems was the AC. It was really hot in one corner where most people were sitting. We spoke to the staff and initially someone said they would check it. And then another staff member told us there was an issue with the AC on that side and suggested moving to the other side. But by that time, we had already spent a lot of time there and it was almost time for us to leave. If there is an AC issue in one section, I feel the staff should inform customers and keep the other section open so that people can sit comfortably. This was a major letdown. Coming to the staff, initially they were not easily available and we had to actually search for them when we needed help. Later, they were available, but the initial experience could definitely be better. The food was another major disappointment. At around 10:30 in the morning, I expected there to be more options, but many of the food counters and tables were still empty. The dosa counter was not working initially, and even when it started later, some items were not available. By the time we were leaving, more items had come in, but I don’t think this should be the case at 10:30-11 in the morning. Overall, the food was average at best. There were limited options and even the available food was just okay in terms of taste. If someone is paying for access to the lounge, I don’t feel the food experience is worth it in its current state. Coming to drinks, drinks were included as part of our card package, but even for Coke, Thums Up or Pepsi cans we had to provide a voucher. Personally, I feel these basic soft drinks should be included with the lounge access. I understand if vouchers for alcoholic drinks, but for basic soft drinks it felt unnecessary. There were also very limited juice options, with only two types available. Overall, the experience was quite disappointing for an international lounge at Bangalore T2. With lounge access becoming less easily available through cards and many cards now charging for it, I expect the experience to be more premium. The interiors definitely look premium, but the seating, AC, food, staff, and beverage options need a lot of improvement. I hope the management looks into these issues because this is an international lounge and many international travellers use it.

I had a wonderful experience at this airport lounge. It was already a great place to relax, enjoy a delicious meal, and unwind with a drink, but what truly made the visit exceptional was the outstanding hospitality. One of the lounge ambassadors, Priya, came over to check on us and genuinely wanted to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying our visit. She kindly offered us a guided tour of the lounge, which turned out to be the highlight of our experience. She passionately explained the inspiration behind the lounge’s design, sharing how different areas reflect the diverse regions, culture, and heritage of India. It was fascinating to learn the stories and thoughtful details incorporated throughout the lounge. We also had the opportunity to sample a selection of unique Indian teas, which made the experience even more memorable. Later, we were joined by two other ambassadors, Shreosi and Pragathi, who shared additional insights and stories about the lounge, making the experience even more engaging and enjoyable. Their warmth, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm transformed what could have been a routine lounge visit into a cultural experience. This lounge is not just a place to rest, eat, and enjoy a drink—it’s a place where you can immerse yourself in the rich culture of India through exceptional hospitality. A heartfelt thank you to Priya, Shreosi, and Pragathi for making our visit so special. I would happily return and highly recommend this lounge to anyone looking for a truly memorable airport experience.
