Shopping & Dining
Terminal 2’s retail program leans into a strong Karnataka craft and design theme alongside duty-free across liquor, perfume, cosmetics and electronics, with well-regarded lounges and a wide F&B spread aimed at business and tech travellers.
The garden terminal experience itself is part of the draw, and Terminal 1 continues to serve domestic convenience retail, F&B and travel essentials.
