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 Lady at the Helm
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.”

Healthy Food - An Attempt to Meet Diners' Desire
Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015, was about "Good Health and Well-being". This could be said to be an eye-opener and the source of making people aware of maintaining their health, which became more pronounced due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Consuming healthy food, since then, has become a significant - if not imperative - element in lives of almost everyone. And this healthy and nutritious food is also playing a significant role in the success of restaurants. Diners are now becoming more particular about the food they consume, making the F&B outlets offer a diverse and appealing menu of healthy food options. Ashok Malkani tries to evaluate how the restaurants and chefs are meeting this desire for nutritious food by customers and what are some of the healthy food options.
