Dine In Time Machine!

At a first glance, you could be induced to say that Time Machine is a restrobar with a difference, even at the risk of sounding clichd.

But when I managed to maintain that perception even after a brief tour of the place, I realised that sometimes cliché statements do turn out to be true after all. The place is housed within Garden Galleria Mall, in Sector 38 Noida, and it in turn houses the longest bar in Noida.

Set in the 18h-19th century industrial era, based on the steampunk (a genre of science fiction that has a historical setting) concept, Time Machine has made a sincere attempt to simulate the motifs associated with industrial era, a period which came after the industrial revolution during the mid-eighteenth century Europe.

And what is more, it has somewhat succeeded in its attempt too, unlike most other theme restaurants across India, where ambitious themes have seldom been translated well in terms of execution, as a result of lack of coordination between vision and meticulous detailing.

Through its ambience and décor that include mechanical gears, rustic lighting and wall murals depicting time travel among many other facets, the restrobar does manage to excite your latent imagination.

The dynamic entrepreneur behind the restrobar, Charu Vashisht Sahni came across a no nonsense businesswoman of few words with fire in her belly. I came to know that after travelling to many countries, exploring different cuisines and getting an understanding of varied cultures across the globe, she conceptualised the idea of this restrobar with an uncommon theme.

She said that hospitality industry always did interest and intrigue her and the fact that Noida had a dearth of quality entertainment destinations induced her to come up with the idea of Time Machine. According to her, Time Machine “Exemplifies grandeur and is a comprehensive entertainment destination for the people in terms of great culinary experience, music, and ambience.”
