" The main thing that Noiya tries to do is offer more imaginative variants, more skilfully done than usual, of the standard Indian restaurant fare. Hence the matchli, the mezai chicken, and the toak, and things like pomfret grilled with spices, and king prawn with garlic, mint, lime, yoghurt, mustard seeds and herbs.

" When the word ‘contemporary’ is pinned to Indian cuisine, you can only assume the menu to be outlandish – perhaps, chillies dipped in chocolate for dessert? Red wine Korma? But no, although Noiya’s interior adopts the banality of minimalism, their food on the other hand is of rooted tradition and exceptional in quality. "    read full review>>
