Bengaluru saw the launch of its first-ever Robot Restaurant on 18 August. As per the restaurant owners, the branch was opened up in Bengaluru after its “resounding success” in Chennai and Coimbatore.
The restaurant is located on the 100-feet road in Indranagar and is open for lunch from 12 noon to 3 pm and from 7 pm to 11 pm for dinner.
At this quirky restaurant, Arya, Ramya, Zoey, Alice, and Sansa serve food while another robot welcomes guests at the entrance of the restaurant. The names might seem right out of a movie or a novel but they all belong to the robots who work there.
The humanoids were shipped in from China at a cost of around Rs 1.8 lakh each. They remain the biggest attraction for the kids as well as adults. The fascination is real for all.

These robots are interactive and are programmed to sing birthday wishes and wishes for special occasions.
The menu served at the restaurant largely comprises of Indo-Asian cuisine along with an exotic mocktail menu. The restaurant, which can seat up to 50 visitors, was designed with extra space between the aisles to help the robots seamlessly navigate.
Each table is equipped with a digital tablet through which dishes can be selected and ordered. Once the food is prepared, a robot is assigned to deliver the food to the table.
Robot Restaurant founder Venkatesh Rajendaran said, “Bengaluru already has a wide variety of culinary experiences and we are confident that the robots will be welcomed with open arms in Bengaluru.”
Venkatesh also plans on expanding and opening up branches in the Middle East– one in Saudi Arabia and another one in Dubai.
