Diving into the menu, the Cacio e Pepe Flatbread revives an Italian favorite, topped with a rich cheese and pepper sauce, enhanced with lemon zest, and garnished with fresh arugula. The Smoked Bandel Cheese Puffs offer a burst of smoky flavor, paired with Naati coriander chimichurri and house-made ranch dressing. For a refreshing treat, the Avocado & Smoked Tomato Tartine features sourdough toast layered with whipped ricotta, smoky tomato compote, and creamy avocado slices.

For those with heartier appetites, the Goan Chorizo & Pepperoni Pull Apart promises generously stuffed bread with spicy Goan chorizo and pepperoni, served with a side of fiery Naga chilli aioli. The Turkish Pide, with its minced lamb, pickled Bhavnagri chilli, pomegranate molasses, sumac onions, and marinated feta, strikes a perfect balance between savory, tangy, and sweet. The Chipotle Chicken Bao offers a fusion of flavors, with chipotle chicken, crisp iceberg lettuce, kimchi, and a pop of Popti chilli crisp.

The cocktail menu has been crafted to pair perfectly with the diverse flavors of the breads. The Rosemary Sunrise features a refreshing mix of bourbon whiskey, cold-pressed orange juice, and fresh rosemary sour mix cordial, garnished with an orange glaze toast. For a light and floral option, the Hibiscus Highball blends gin with homemade hibiscus tea cordial, topped with tonic water. For something more indulgent, the Toast & Cheese cocktail combines gin, Irish cream, cold brew espresso, and fresh cream, finished with grated Parmesan cheese.

Bold and exciting, the Guava Picante combines tequila with homemade pink guava and bird's eye chilli cordial, served alongside herbed toast. The Barley Sour offers a smooth and earthy experience with roasted barley-infused vodka, homemade lemon cordial, and vegan foam.

Wynnd Hotels, one of NCR’s emerging hospitality names, proudly unveils The Dark Room—a striking new cafe-club concept that reintroduces the pulse of authentic nightlife to Noida. Located on the 5th floor of Galaxy Blue Sapphire Mall, Greater Noida West, The Dark Room is more than just a venue—it’s a vibe.

Designed for night owls, music lovers, and adventurers, The Dark Room channels the raw energy and allure of classic underground clubs. With bold black-and-red interiors and owl motifs across its walls, the space exudes an atmosphere that is both mysterious and magnetic. It’s crafted to evoke the nostalgia of a time when stepping into a club meant stepping into another world.

“The Dark Room is our response to what nightlife has lacked,” says Gaurav Sapra, Founder of The Dark Room by Wynnd Hotels. “At one point, entering a club was like entering another universe—where the lights, the music, and the people all combined to make you feel alive. That’s the vibe we’ve brought back here. It’s a place for those seeking more than a drink—they’re looking for an experience that lingers.”

The venue is open until 2:00 a.m., making it a perfect late-night haven for those looking to unwind, groove to live music, or dance through the night. At a time when much of the city’s nightlife has shifted toward quieter cafe culture, The Dark Room reclaims the essence of high-energy clubbing.

Beyond its music and ambiance, The Dark Room is also a premium dining destination. Guests can indulge in a diverse multi-cuisine menu, offering international flavours, gourmet bar food, and comfort dishes—carefully curated to pair with the club’s exotic beverage selection. The full-service bar features super-premium spirits, seasonal blends, and creative signature cocktails and mocktails.

Whether you're there for the beats, the bites, or the buzz, The Dark Room promises a return to nightlife that’s vibrant, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
