Noiya

WORST service I have had in a long time. Ordered online, food didn't show up. Waited 2 hours!! Staff were rude and unhelpful when I called to ask where the food was. Canceled order - will never try again.

We are regulars to Noiya and we always receive impeccable customer service, the tastiest and exotic flavours in the food, and delicious cocktails (even the non-alcoholic ones!). There is a great atmosphere in Noiya - very modern and cool, but also warm and welcoming. The menu is very imaginative and has something for everyone. Every meal we have had there has been mouth-watering. They also provide great weekday value meal deals, which makes it a great venue for people on a budget! We have tried many different curry-houses around the Clapham and Battersea are and have to say that Noiya is by far the best!

We found Noiya on google as one of the highest ranked restaurants in south west London. My girlfriend and I had to pay them a visit after all the fantastic reviews we read. We parked up on a side road after there was no parking available in front of the bar as it had been taken up by what my girl friend quoted as a "car showroom in front" fantastic looking cars all diners of Noiya.

as we entered we had been informed we have a few tables available and the out side decking had been booked up from a week ago, very impressed for a Wednesday night.

the food was amazing, lightly spiced with a fusion kick of Caribbean spices totally mouth watering. The cocktails were very unique, never had we seen a rainbow cocktail with so many bright colours.

We will be returning with more friends, to sample the whole menu.

Having just moved to the area we visited Noiya as it was recommended by the locals. Noiya looked very smart with its modern décor and wouldn't look out of place somewhere in central London.. My girlfriend and I were hoping the food would live up to the local reputation they had and all I can say is we were not disappointed. The menu had the usual suspects for an Indian however there were also a variety of unique dishes that I had never heard of. Being the curious type I opted for something new while my girlfriend had the usual chicken tikka massala. The food was fresh and flavoursome and the you could see that thought was put into the dishes. The service was also very good with out being intrusive.

After reading such good reviews I had to go and pay this restaurant a visit...

This may have been a top restaurant at one stage but it is anything but that at current. The food is quite bland especially the Vegetarian dishes and the meat dishes are not particularly flavoursome. There are far better restaurants than this out there mainly run by pakistani chefs (who in my opinion cook much better food).

Another very annoying feature is the existance of the take-away order desk being present in the main dining area. This looks very amatuer as customers sitting within range of this table will hear most take-away orders being taken. There is no side enterance for their drivers either so on their busy periods expect to see them walking in and out of the restaraunt frequently.

That being said the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming but the main point of visiting a restaurant is for the quality of food and on this matter Noiya falls well short of the mark in my personal opinion.

We have been dining at Noiya for many months, the food is extraordinary never have we had Indian food like this before! and the best part is the dessert cocktails served up by a passionate mixologist who knows a thing or two about spirits. The atmosphere and music is not like a typical "branded" indian restaurant, it's somthing new it wat we call trendy dining.

We recently went back to Noiya, it was full they squeezed us in but the waiter did say on the weekends it was a booking only, we was really happy that the word of noiya was getting out there, we did notice a few new faces behind the bar but our mixologist was no where to be seen, the food came out on time Claire had ordered the Matchli Tika, and the legendary Hydra Lamb for me, we was disappointed! for the first time the fish was soaked in oil and it clearly was not grilled but DEEP fried the garlic nan was abit dowy and raw and the fabulous pilou rice was over spiced and strong, but my hydra lamb was excellent as always so was my chappati. The only thing we can put it down to is that the restaurant was full of happy dinners and it must of caused immense pressure on the chef, the dessert cocktails as always where great and it made up for a different experience at Noiya. We passed by Noiya the other day and saw the return of the mixologist, we will be back.

My girlfriend and I usually head into the West End for decent Indian food but decided to try this place recently as it's local and looks quite smart from outside. We were pleasantly surprised!

There seem to be two types of Indian restaurant decor - the traditional patterned carpet old-world curry house and the new school of neon-lit ultra-modern nouveau Indian restaurant and uber bar. Noiya is of the latter variety. Service was fine throughout, maybe a little over-attentive as it was quite quiet. Cocktails very nice.

The food, while not the best Indian food I've had in London, was great and some care and attention had clearly been taken over presentation, flavours, etc. Spicy lamb chops were a bit chewy but really tasty and the prawns were of a good size, not cooked to death either.

Would recommend if you live nearby. Definitely one to return to.
