Family dinners • Casual hangouts • A vibrant evening out
Looking to trade a regular dinner outing for something a little more playful, colorful, and downright festive? Then Carnivale, perched on the 5th floor of Blue Sapphire Mall, Greater Noida West, might just be the perfect place to hit pause on routine and soak in some vibrant family fun! With its bright red interiors, quirky seating, and upbeat vibes, this multicuisine restaurant doesn’t just serve food – it serves experiences.
We decided to celebrate Father’s Day here this year, hoping for good food and happy moments—and we got exactly that, plus a little more! From flavorful dishes to fun post-dinner games, Carnivale turned out to be more than just a meal—it was a mini escape into a world of cheer and comfort. Here’s a joyful peek into our food-filled, laughter-loaded evening that might inspire your next family outing!
First Impressions: Carnival Vibes All the Way!
The moment you walk into Carnivale, you’re greeted with a sense of playful warmth and a burst of character that immediately lifts your spirits. The bold red-themed interiors set the tone—vibrant, cozy, and unmistakably festive. Paired with gentle ambient lighting, the space feels both lively and inviting, like stepping into a celebration that never really ended.
One of the most charming things about Carnivale is its diverse seating arrangement, designed to spark curiosity and suit every kind of diner. Whether you’re in the mood for intimate canopy seating, quirky pony ride-style chairs (yes, they’re real and just as fun as they sound!), classic round tables for big family meals, or more formal dining setups—there’s something here for everyone. Each corner feels thoughtfully designed, adding a unique personality to the space.
As we settled in, a dedicated stage area for live band performances caught my eye—clearly a magnet for musical evenings that are high on energy and vibe. While there weren’t any Father’s Day-specific decorations, the upbeat music and colorful interiors already created a mood that felt celebratory and cheerful.
Insta Tip: Be sure to snap a picture by their eye-catching truck-front wall décor—a rustic, artsy installation that’s practically begging to be your next reel backdrop or story highlight!
What We Ordered – And Devoured!
When it came to food, Carnivale didn’t hold back—and neither did we! Our table turned into a vibrant canvas of colors, aromas, and indulgent flavors, each dish adding to the joy of our Father’s Day celebration.
We kicked things off with a comforting bowl of Thai Red Curry with Steamed Rice, and let me tell you—it hit all the right notes. The rich, aromatic curry had a smooth, velvety texture and just the right balance of spice and sweetness. Beautifully plated with a side of fluffy white rice, it was a dish that felt both soul-satisfying and picture-perfect. While the portion was ideal for one, it worked well for sharing too—especially if you’re ordering more sides, like we did.
Next came the Margarita and Veg Pizzas, which were a true test of any multicuisine restaurant’s skill. The moment we pulled the first slice, the cheese gave us that classic “pull-apart” moment—long, stringy, drool-worthy perfection that every pizza lover dreams of. The toppings were fresh, and the flavor was delightful. However, the crust left a bit to be desired—dry and slightly dense, possibly because we didn’t dig in fast enough. Still, it was far from a dealbreaker, and overall, the pizzas served their purpose well.
To wash it all down, we ordered a round of Mojitos and chilled Beers. The drinks were served with a dash of flair—frosty glasses, minty freshness, and cheerful garnishing. And here’s a pleasant surprise: despite it being a weekend, we were offered a 1+1 deal on beers by our friendly waiter—an unexpected bonus that definitely earned a few extra smiles at our table!
While the menu didn’t exactly push culinary boundaries or offer anything wildly experimental, it absolutely delivered on flavor, portion, and comfort. It was the kind of food that makes you nod after every bite, pass plates around, and go back for seconds—simple, familiar, and thoroughly satisfying.
Family Fun Beyond Food
What truly made our Carnivale outing special was not just the food—it was the quality time we spent together as a family. Our little crew included my husband, my ever-supportive mother-in-law, our thoughtful teenage daughter, and our bundle of endless energy—our 6-year-old son. With full tummies and happy hearts, we weren’t quite ready to wrap up the evening just yet. Luckily, Carnivale had a little surprise in store.
Tucked inside the same space is Amoeba, a playful haven of games and giggles that added a spark of excitement to our already enjoyable evening. This vibrant in-house entertainment zone is a treat for both kids and adults. We dove right into a fun round of bowling, which quickly turned into a full-on family challenge—filled with laughs, playful competition, and the kind of memories that linger long after the pins stop falling.
For those who enjoy a bit of tech-driven adventure, VR games and other arcade-style activities were also on offer. The flashing lights, buzzy energy, and carnival spirit continued seamlessly from our dining table into this zone of play. Do keep in mind that while access to Amoeba is not included in your meal and comes at an additional cost, the joy and energy it adds to the outing is worth every bit—especially if you’re dining with kids or teens in tow.
In all, Carnivale managed to extend its cheerful experience beyond the plate, giving us not just a delicious dinner but a lively family evening that felt full, wholesome, and perfectly weekend-worthy.
Music & Mood
As the evening unfolded, the background music at Carnivale added just the right dose of energy to the atmosphere. A well-curated mix of peppy international chartbusters played softly in the background—upbeat enough to lift the vibe, yet mellow enough to let us enjoy uninterrupted conversations. We could easily laugh, chat, and share our meal without having to raise our voices—a detail that often goes unnoticed but makes a big difference during family outings.
The rhythm and ambience worked hand-in-hand to create a lively yet relaxed mood, almost like a cozy evening at a friend’s place with great music, cheerful lighting, and good food. It’s the kind of setting that makes you want to stay a little longer, order another drink, or take that extra slice of pizza.
However, not everything hit the high notes.
Apart from the cheerful decor and vibrant energy, the service was where the experience reached to a new level. While the staff did their job—taking orders, serving dishes, and answering questions—they were also warm and attentive that truly elevated the evening. We really felt cared for. A genuine smile here, a proactive gesture there, or even a quick check-in during the meal adds a more personal, thoughtful touch.
It’s a small detail—but when a restaurant nails both food and service, it transforms a good meal into a memorable experience. And Carnivale certainly has achieved this level of their hospitality.
Pro Tip: If you’re visiting on a busy weekend, be patient with the service—or gently nudge the staff if you need something faster.
Value Check
Let’s talk money—because good vibes are important, but so is getting your money’s worth! Expect to shell out around:
- ₹2000 for two (without alcohol)
- ₹3500 with drinks
At Carnivale, you can expect to spend around ₹2000 for two if you’re sticking to food and mocktails. Add in a round (or two) of drinks, and the bill will comfortably slide up to ₹3500 or more, depending on your choices. For a family outing that includes a mix of appetizers, mains, and beverages, it adds up pretty quickly.
Now, in terms of food quality, we felt the pricing was largely justified. The dishes were flavorful, well-presented, and portioned appropriately—nothing felt skimped or sloppy. The drinks, too, were refreshingly chilled and well-garnished, and the unexpected 1+1 beer offer on a weekend was a happy bonus that added value to our evening.
However, when we factor in the ambience and service, things become a bit of a mixed bag. While the carnival-themed décor is definitely quirky, colorful, and fun—perfect for casual dinners or photo ops—it doesn’t quite deliver that premium dining experience you might expect at this price point. And with the service being just average, there was a slight disconnect between what we paid and what we felt.
That said, Carnivale is still a great spot for a lively family evening or a casual catch-up with friends—especially if you’re in the mood for comfort food with a side of entertainment. If they step up their hospitality game, this place could easily become one of the top go-to hangouts in Greater Noida West
