Eating is no more just a compulsion that we indulge into for surviving through life. It has become luxurious, royal, demanding and thoughtful. While there are many quirky fun-dining eateries in Delhi, its close neighbor Noida never really fared well on this scale.

But we are delighted to announce to you that time have changed. Theme dining has arrived in Noida and its has come-up with all its glitz and glamour.

So here we take you to the tour of two awesomely designed and creatively crafted theme based dine-in restaurants of Noida, which really had us amazed with their flawless ambiance.

Laat Saab, Gardens Galleria Mall, Noida

If you are also as amazed by this name as I was after hearing it for the first time, I must tell you that this eatery will keep you surprised and mesmerized throughout the experience.

While a huge Victorian style horse carriage at its gate will be the first thing that will have you going on a selfie spree right before entering the spot, we completely assure that it definitely won’t be the last.

In Laat Saab every table is different. You can dine on a old haveli’s kind of swing or on a quirky painted rickshaw or on railway platform themed British era benches as well as one jute-bamboo dining table set.

Apart from these there are also dining sitting based on state themes, which have not only backdrop depicting the state’s craft but the dining table also indicative of some state-art form.

I couldn’t kill my curiosity and asked the founder of Laat Saab Mr. Ravinder Malhotra about this quirky nomenclature. He said, “During British era, the collector or the In-charge of a place or district was often referred to as  Lordship which most natives understand as Laat Saab and started using the same. So Laat Saab to us is a VVIP and by this name we insist to signify that every diner who walk-in our restaurant is a Laat Saab for us and we will treat them with equally luxury and care”.

Some most preferred dishes from this outlet includes Makkai Malai Seek, Chowpaty Paneer Tikka, Grill Fish Amritsari, Bhatti Ka Murg, Peshawari Tawa Paneer, Pepper Chicken Chetinad.

Signature dishes includes, Authority Waala- a buna lamb cooked in style of past era’s eateries most prominent outside district administrations office, a sweet and sour Darjeeling Chutney waala rice, Broccoli corn and cheese naan and Shikhora phirni. Elaichi Sharabat and saunf ka sharbat also makes for good appetizers to culminate the meal.

The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor sitting options.

Jungle Jamboree, Logix City Centre Mall, Noida

This is a well know chain of National Capital Region, well known for its amazing interiors and delicious all-you-can-eat buffet. However the latest outlet that has recently come-up at Logix City Centre mall seems to be pretty different from the existing one’s elsewhere. The experience and creative quotient of its founders looked to have helped them to become more better in the game and offer an experience that’s equally wild and cozy at the same time.

While the restaurant boosts of huge combined dining spaces capable of holding huge feasts for family get-togethers, there are also adequate sitting arrangements in between the themes that offer pretty descent dining private spaces as well.

The restaurant has both buffet as well as a-la carte options though given the price and variety most diners opt for buffet meals.

The lunch buffet is priced at 499 on weekdays and 599  on weekends. For dinner the price is 699 on weekdays and 799 on weekends. Buffet menu includes a seven course meal with around 17-18 delicious starters.

Some signature dishes of this outlet includes Junglee Handi Kukkad, Japlari Fish Koliwada Curry, Junglee Ratan Seek, Gardenera Pizza, Parle G Cheese cake with Rabree among others.
