In Sector 18, Noida lies a wonderful boutique hotel by the name of Mosaic hotels. The major attraction of the hotel is its fleet of superb restaurants that cater to every whim of a gourmet. However, its north Indian restaurant ‘Latitude’ steals the spotlight. A large airy space is broken by lattice screens to add separate nooks and corners. The added mystery of dining places is popular with the patrons looking for some privacy. The restaurant is smart and chic with dim lighted ambience relaxing the customers instantly. The lattice screens divide the place beautifully so much so that you might find yourself all by yourself in a particular section. The restaurant makes a wonderful backdrop for family celebrations and even for a business dinner. Latitude is quiet enough for important discussions to be had. The soft background music merges well with the tinkling of the fountain in the restaurant.
Delicious North Indian cuisine is prepared at Latitude by the extremely talented chefs. They make delightful curries and melt in your mouth kebabs to tempt you and after just one bite you will promise yourself to come back again and again.

- Latitude is open only for dinner. Though it is Indian, the buffet includes western too
- Must-try their 'Ajwaini Tandoori Jhinga'- a crsipy and succulent starter (Noida Sector 18 halt)
- 'Roti Pe Boti'- is also a good option
