About Us

In the quiet town of Senai, just minutes away from the bustling terminals of Senai International Airport, a unique dining destination has caught the attention of food lovers, travelers, and aviation enthusiasts alike. Aviate Lounge, located at 19G & 20G, Jalan Terminal 1, 81400 Senai, Johor, is not just another café or bistro. It’s an experience—a fusion of aviation-inspired ambiance and modern fusion gastronomy that elevates casual dining to new heights.

Walking through its doors, diners are transported into a sleek, aviation-themed lounge that’s part luxury airport terminal and part contemporary dining space. Thoughtfully designed with flight details and airplane décor, Aviate Lounge delivers a playful yet refined experience that’s hard to come by. One of its standout attractions: a life-sized Boeing 737 cockpit simulator positioned right within the dining area, making it Malaysia’s first aviation lounge of its kind.

While the décor alone could be enough to turn heads, it’s the food that anchors Aviate Lounge’s growing reputation. The kitchen serves up a creative menu filled with East-meets-West influences, taking local comfort food and international favorites and reimagining them with flair and precision. From seafood to desserts, every plate is presented with the sort of attention to detail expected in fine dining—but without the pretension.

Patrons frequently praise the impeccable plating and consistent flavors, made even more special by a chef team that’s willing to customize dishes upon request. The staff, too, adds to the charm—warm, knowledgeable, and always happy to explain the story behind each signature item.

One of the most talked-about aspects of Aviate Lounge is its commitment to innovation. The menu regularly evolves to surprise returning guests. However, some items have earned cult status, becoming must-try dishes for first-time visitors.

The Fish & Chips Version 2.0 is perhaps the most iconic dish here. It is widely described as among the best in Johor—crispy, moist, and seasoned to perfection. The Onde-Onde Cake is another showstopper, bringing a nostalgic Malaysian kuih to the world of western patisserie.

Aviate Lounge isn’t just for aviation fans or food bloggers. It appeals to families, business travelers, couples, and casual diners looking for something out of the ordinary. Whether for a pre-flight meal, a weekend foodie adventure, or a quiet weekday lunch, this establishment offers a break from the typical mall cafés and airport fast food.

Located conveniently close to the airport, parking is easy and access is seamless. For those who appreciate both aesthetic dining and high-quality meals, Aviate Lounge is a destination worth circling back to again and again. This is not just food—it’s flight fuel for the soul.
