Imagine devouring a scrumptious meal at 160 feet above the ground! This has become a reality now.
Fly Dining at Noida sector 38/A is a place for adventure lovers where they can enjoy their food in a unique way and place -160 feet up in the air in India.
A huge table surrounded with 24 seats will be lifted up with a crane. It also has a less widen central passage to allow free movement of waiters and other staff.
The man behind the idea is Nikhil Kumar. The idea came from his visit to Dubai, where he had experienced something similar.
Kumar first witnessed this two years ago in Dubai and since then he was thinking to utilize the idea. "It took two years because we have been focusing more on safety and ensuring customers get an amazing experience. Experts from Germany have trained us," he said.
He described his unique idea to be not merely selling food but "experience."
Changing his idea into reality wasn't a single day job as he had to take care of the customer's safety too and as part of precautions, Nikhil said: "We don't allow pregnant women and kids below the height of 4 feet and haven't got any complaint till now."
Safety measures have been taken into consideration at a very serious level. The equipment being used is tested and certified from Germany while the crane that suspends the structure is from Dubai. Once seated, the safety belts buckling to the seat are checked thrice before launching into the air.
