CRC Group has announced a key collaboration with AD Singh to bring Olive Café & Bar to The Flagship Beyond in Noida. This marks the brand’s first-ever collaboration in the city, adding a well-known dining experience to the project and strengthening its position as a lifestyle destination.

The restaurant will span around 12,000 sq ft and will reflect Olive’s signature Mediterranean style. Known for its romantic and rustic-chic setting, the space often features white-pebbled courtyards and rooftop views, creating a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. Founded by A.D. Singh, Olive Café & Bar is already a popular name in Delhi and Mumbai, offering Italian-Mediterranean cuisine, well-loved Sunday brunches, and handcrafted cocktails.

Sharing his thoughts on the collaboration, AD Singh, Founder & MD, Olive Group of Restaurants, said, “For us at Olive, every new space is an opportunity to create something that feels both personal and contextual. Our collaboration with CRC Group for The Flagship Beyond felt instinctive, given their clear vision of building a destination that values experience as much as design. Noida has been on our radar for some time, but it was important to find the right setting, and CRC’s The Flagship Beyond felt like the right fit. We look forward to bringing Olive’s signature warmth, food, and easy elegance to a new audience, and becoming a part of the city’s evolving dining and social narrative.”

Satish Garg, Chairman and Founder, CRC Group, said, “At CRC, we have always focused on curating environments that feel elevated yet intuitive. We are delighted to welcome Olive Café & Bar to one of our prestigious projects, and see this association as the beginning of a long-term collaboration that will add enduring value to the destination.”

This development reflects CRC Group’s continued focus on building spaces that go beyond regular retail. With Olive Café & Bar joining The Flagship Beyond, the destination is shaping up as a hub where dining, retail, and culture come together in a seamless way.
