The wife and family of Mustafa Aolad, of Wallington, despaired when he embarked on the two-year project which cost £100,000 and required a workforce of 50 people.
But the financial risk and hard work paid off as he sold the finished restaurant for a profit and now has similar projects in the pipeline.
"Everyone thought it was a crazy idea and it would never get off the ground," Mr Aolad, 44, said. "They thought it was an impossibility.
"Bangladesh is a third world country and only the elite and upper-classes ever get to fly. Ninety-eight per cent of the population have never seen in the inside of an aircraft. The restaurant is not overpriced and it has given thousands of people the chance to see the inside of a plane for the first time."
