Tis’ the Season of Love Enjoy a Thoughtfully Curated Valentine’s Evening at Baroak

Tis’ the season of love, and Baroak sets the tone with a Valentine’s evening designed to linger. Across Valentine’s Eve and Valentine’s Day, the restaurant curates a close-knit, multi-sensory celebration where romance is gently encouraged rather than staged. Tucked away from the city’s constant hum, Baroak offers couples something increasingly rare: uninterrupted time to slow down, connect, and simply be present with each other.

Set within a calm indoor - outdoor refuge, the evening unfolds at an unhurried pace. Candlelit tables, intimate design, and deliberately limited seating allow moments to settle naturally, without rush or distraction. Couples are invited to linger over cocktails crafted for two, let conversations flow, and ease into a soundtrack that moves from nostalgic to soulful and quietly seductive as the night deepens. Romance here is given space to unfold, comfortably and authentically.

The menu follows the rhythm of the evening. A Valentine’s-exclusive cocktail selection and a dessert crafted for sharing set the mood, while the à la carte menu remains open, encouraging guests to choose freely and linger longer. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-conscious dishes are seamlessly woven into the offering, ensuring preferences are thoughtfully accommodated without interrupting the flow of the experience.

Behind the bar lies the emotional centre of the evening. A Valentine’s-only cocktail lineup draws inspiration from florals, berries, botanicals, and gentle spice, echoing Baroak’s fusion sensibility and the intimacy of the occasion. Non-alcoholic offerings receive the same attention and care, ensuring every guest feels equally considered. Each pour builds atmosphere, and each sip draws the evening deeper.

Music guides the night with quiet intention. It opens with romantic classics and retro melodies that gently ease guests into the moment, then shifts to acoustic love songs that invite closeness and conversation. As the evening progresses, romantic lounge sounds take over, carrying couples through dessert and into late hours that resist endings. The transitions are subtle, instinctive, and carefully paced.

“Valentine’s at Baroak is about slowing down and honouring connection,” says Smriti Mishra, Director at Baroak. “We’ve shaped the evening as a sensory journey; one where food, music, and atmosphere work together to create moments guests remember well beyond the night itself.” This philosophy reflects throughout the experience, from lighting and music cues to the tempo of service and the way the space holds room for intimacy.

Reservations are open for Valentine’s Eve and Valentine’s Day, with multiple seating slots designed to maintain a relaxed and flowing pace. Smart casual or elegant evening wear is encouraged, inviting guests to dress for an evening meant to be savoured. Baroak is located at Rajnigandha Market, Sector 15A, Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201301, and welcomes guests from 2 PM to 12 AM.
