There’s something about rainy days that calls for chai, pakoras, and cozy conversations. 16th Affair, the rooftop club and kitchen by Wynnd Hotels, has launched a limited-time Monsoon Menu that taps right into that emotion. Served daily from 4 PM to 6 PM until August 14, this specially curated offering brings together Indian comfort food and panoramic rooftop views.
Set on the 16th floor of Galaxy Diamond Plaza in Greater Noida West, 16th Affair has already earned its stripes as one of NCR’s go-to rooftop venues. Now, with the monsoon draping the city in romantic grey, the venue is offering an experience steeped in nostalgia. Guests can indulge in classic treats like assorted pakoras, cocktail samosas with spicy veggie fillings, and gooey cheese chilli toast — all served with unlimited pours of freshly brewed masala tea.
“This collaboration is about more than food, it's about emotion and nostalgia,” shared Himanshu Sapra, Co-founder of The Dark Room, while speaking about the menu concept. “Monsoons have an emotional flavour for all of us — it’s home, warmth, and comfort food with friends and family. The Monsoon Menu at 16th Affair is an ode to those sensory memories. It's not just a menu — it's a mood, it’s an experience.”
The Victorian-meets-contemporary setting enhances the entire vibe — breezy, slightly misty, and perfect for those who want to take a break from the rush. Whether you're a city dweller looking for a quiet moment or a monsoon romantic hoping to turn rain into poetry, this two-hour experience offers the perfect excuse to slow down and sip on something warm.
And while it’s designed to be casual and soul-soothing, the team recommends booking a table in advance — especially on weekends — to make the most of this rainy-day escape.
So if your soul is craving chai, crisp snacks, and cloud-kissed views, 16th Affair is where you need to be. Come for the menu. Stay for the mood.

ButterBrews has opened its new outlet in Aundh, marking its largest format café so far. The new space has been designed as an everyday destination, bringing together a comfortable layout, a strong all-day menu, and a clear focus on coffee.
The café has been planned with multiple zones to suit different preferences. It includes an indoor seating area, a non-smoking outdoor section with an amphitheatre-style setup, and a separate smoking zone placed away from the main space to ensure a smooth and relaxed experience for all guests.
The menu offers a premium all-day selection built around fresh ingredients. Guests can choose from breakfast options, healthy bowls, wholesome meals, and vegan dishes, making it suitable for different tastes and dining needs throughout the day.
Coffee continues to be at the heart of the ButterBrews experience. The café uses 100 percent Arabica beans and serves both house blends and manually brewed coffees. It also features guest roasters like Tulum Coffee Roasters and Ground Zero Coffee Roasters, adding variety to its coffee offerings.
Desserts and baked items are prepared in-house at ButterBrews’ bakehouse. Popular choices include the Basque cheesecake and cinnamon rolls, which have already become favourites among guests.
Commenting on the opening, Harsh Agarwal, Co-founder, ButterBrews, said, “ButterBrews, Aundh is our largest format cafe yet. We have built a stronger indoor experience and created clear zones across the cafe so guests can settle in the way they like. We want this to be an address people can count on through the week.”
Umang Bhimrajka, Co-founder, ButterBrews, added, “For us, coffee has always been non-negotiable. With 100 percent Arabica beans, house espresso coffees and manual brews that rotate speciality roasters, we are bringing a program that balances familiarity with discovery. Alongside that, the all-day menu and our bakehouse desserts complete the experience we want to offer Aundh.”
