This place is designed or rather thought to be designed to give similar vibes and experience as Chokhi Dhani, however, it will not live up to its expectations. Maybe because it's a new place, with lots of improvement in terms of quality food and more engaging activities/experiences. However, if you are looking to do something different, than watch a movie or go to mall, then visiting Noida Haat/Chokhi Haveli will be a pleasant experience, although only for a few hours and decent justification of the amount spent. So, the tickets (we went on a weekday for dinner) are priced at 590₹ per adult and approx 300₹ per child and includes (Rajasthani thali food, head massage, face/palm reading, puppet show, magic show, mehndi, folk song dance performance, some party, which I am not sure what it was, because it started raining, and we missed on a lot of things). Being a weekday, after 8pm, hardly 5-10 people were there including us. The weather was a nice touch though. We didn't make any reservation, and since nobody was there, there was no wait time. Area is sufficiently open, nicely done but can be more engaging and more cultural/traditional decor or music can uplift the ambience. Maybe since there was no crowd, people were low on energy but they were welcoming and warm. Puppet show was disappointing and very short. We straight went for dinner as it was getting late. There is provision to keep your footwear outside, and for washing hands. There's floor and dining seating as well, but be ready for a lot of flies/mosquitoes. Although they have fans and ac, this might hamper the experience. The dining is in closed space with glass doors, so you can watch the view outside. The passage was not clean though, with food trays left outside, there were brooms and buckets kept. Considering it was a slow day, but if u r running a business, you should focus on cleanliness, especially where food is served. Servers were all polite and warm and focused on hospitality. Food was decent-nice. They served gatte ki sabzi, baato dal churma, kadhi, lahsun chutney, paneer sabzi, gwar fali sabzi with hot rotis, salad, khichdi and lots of ghee. Jalebi was also served, it was hot and crispy. Had to ask for cutlery and napkins, which should be already provided on each table. Buttermilk was fine, could be better. Khichdi had mild flavor, no spices. We then went to watch magic show, which they arranged in a corner of a seating space since there was no crowd. It was ok too. We got mehndi done as well, it was good. Since it was raining heavily, we couldn't get head massage, or other activities. The staff were nice to escort you to the exit with big umbrellas. Overall, a nice decent outing, for some what ok cost per person. Please do more of online and word of mouth promotion, to highlight this place. I am sure it can get better and bigger. Focus on quality, keep...

Read moreA fun place for a family evening with kids. The environment is of a carnival in a village and is in the open.
It was an effort to pull the kid away from the non stop puppet show. The magician was captivating. He involved the kids as well as the adults. There is a stage where the artists perform and you can join them too. A bunch of musicians continue playing under a tree and keep inviting you over. You want to rest, get a good head massage and even a fish spa for your feet. A bioscope. A camel ride, welcome drums. Even a palmist, an astrologer and a fortune teller with a parrot. Also a face reader, he is especially fantastic. To the point, very accurate with no incorrect reading. Everyone came out happy after consulting him. There is also a team of women applying mehendi. In between have good kulfi and try your hands at some games of hopping goods.
The food is vegetarian and a mixture of Rajasthani and North Indian served on chowkis with you sitting on the floor on a small gaddi. There are also tables and chairs if you cannot sit on the floor. They serve food with a lot of affection. The food is good and tasty enough. You close with variety of paan.
Food items in kiosks are chargeable, the meals are included in entry price. Camel rides are chargeable. Everyone expects a tip that you gladly give. Very much on the face though.
Two slots in a day, 10-5 and 530-10 about. We booked on bookmyshow but I think you can get tickets on site too. We went on a weekday evening. Thin crowd. I was told that weekends are crowded.
And yes, enough car parking. 20/-. Again that could have been included in the entry.
It will be very good if no food item is chargeable and the expectation of tip is not in the face. When budgeting add an overhead for such charges.
Overall worth every paisa spent. Will go again with family and especially kids.
And yes combine it with a visit to Noida...
