P-19, Sector 18 (Atta Market). The local outlet of the exuberantly hip Punjabi chain, serving up tandoori lobster and vodka golgappas next to crazy decor that's half dhaba, half crystal chandeliers and indoor waterfalls.

While the Delhi Metro also has a couple of stops in the city, Noida has its own metro system, known as the Noida Metro. Its Aqua Line connects the city's geographic centre to Greater Noida.
